  1. Re:How it went down: on Apple Update Means Palm Pre Can No Longer Sync With iTunes · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Reddit called - they want their pun threads back.

  2. How Repulsive. on Repulsive Force Discovered In Light · · Score: 2, Funny

    Ugh. That is so digusting.

  3. Re:The Definition of "Design" on Recovery.gov To Get $18 Million Redesign · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Do you think a health care system would be immune from the same frustratingly inefficient bureaucracy that plagues all other government programs? Why?

  4. Re:You could always let the user choose on Nielsen Recommends Not Masking Passwords · · Score: 1

    Hey - that's bullshit, man! I was never your friend.

  5. Re:Bad Analogy on Microsoft's Free AV App May Be a Non-Starter · · Score: 1

    You guys suck at analogies.

  6. Re:You don't even know you're missing it. on One Fifth of World's Population Can't See Milky Way At Night · · Score: 1

    By the way, Derek, we are never taking you hiking again.

  7. Of course not on Internet Explorer 6 Will Not Die · · Score: 1

    Why anyone thought IE8 would replace IE6 is beyond me. The people running IE6 are obviously not accepting the automatic updates from Microsoft. If they were they'd have been running IE7.

    Now, expecting IE8 to replace IE7 is certainly a logical conclusion, but that doesn't really help us much...

  8. Re:Download speed on Moblin 2.0 Released, Intel's Linux For Netbooks · · Score: 4, Informative
  9. Re:Download speed on Moblin 2.0 Released, Intel's Linux For Netbooks · · Score: 1

    No kidding - and I can't find any mirrors either.

  10. Re:Death to IE6! on IE8 Update Forces IE As Default Browser · · Score: 1

    Nope. IE7 has been a critical update for ages. Anyone still using IE6 has completely abandoned the critical update treadmill. You're stuck with them and their shitty browser until their machine is replaced.

    What this actually means is all your IE7 users will convert to IE8.

  11. Homesteaders? on Florida To Build Solar-Powered City · · Score: 1

    Fascinating. I wonder if they need homesteaders. I've always thought about moving to Tampa/St. Petersburg area...

  12. Re:To avoid this.. on Was the Amazon De-Listing Situation a Glitch Or a Hack? · · Score: 1

    Research and common sense. A genetic basis for homosexuality probably wouldn't fair so well against evolution...

  13. Re:The reason why is on Review: Halo Wars · · Score: 1

    Argh - where are mod points when you need them? Well said.

  14. Re:Go look for another job. on Should Job Seekers Tell Employers To Quit Snooping? · · Score: 1

    Hmmm - I don't think I'll be hiring you, Sunshine. ;-)

  15. Re:On windshields? on In-Game Web Browser Round-Up · · Score: 1

    I don't know about OP, but a laughing deer would definitely freak me out.

  16. Re:Whoops on Nuclear Subs 'Collide In Ocean' · · Score: 5, Funny

    Do you know what you're talking about or did you just watch The Hunt for Red October?

  17. Re:seconds and minutes on Black Holes From the LHC Could Last For Minutes · · Score: 2, Funny

    You're not. That poor SOB is going to get banned.

  18. Re:I must need new contacts on Google Challenging Proposition 8 · · Score: 3, Funny

    I'll challenge Preparation H too. It tastes disgusting and doesn't work at all. I may as well shove the tube up my ass for all the good it does.

  19. Re:No Need for Insult on Roland Piquepaille Dies · · Score: 5, Funny

    Who the fuck is Ronald?

  20. Re:Customer information sharing on Blu-ray Update Sent To User Via Credit Card Records · · Score: 1

    Al Fraklin for Senate!

  21. Does Not Clear Cosmic Ray on Study Says Cosmic Rays Do Not Explain Global Warming · · Score: 1

    Unfortunately, the culpability of Cosmic Ray is still undetermined.

  22. Re:Bad economics on Five PC Power Myths Debunked · · Score: 1

    Yup - recently had this discussion at work. It may be green, but it's not helping the company's bottom line any.

  23. Re:Because some people don't quite get it on Firefox 3.1 Beta 2 Adds Private Browsing · · Score: 1

    I don't admin Windows boxes anymore, but I was under the impression that Chrome would install without admin privileges (i.e., not in "\Program Files\") if the user didn't have them. Is that not the case?

  24. Re:at home? on Scientists Achieve Mental Body-Swapping · · Score: 1

    I was going to say that too. Then I remembered this isn't digg.

  25. Re:Can't hibernate on Why Use Virtual Memory In Modern Systems? · · Score: 3, Funny

    Your post pissed me off! I'm buying a new computer.
