  1. Friggin' Laserbeams on Sony Ericsson P800 Reviewed · · Score: 1

    Alright, is this just the coolest phone accessory? A phone with a friggin' laserbeam?

    OK, yeah, maybe not...

  2. Re:Let's not overreact here... on Unreal Security Hole · · Score: 5, Funny

    Yeah, just think the Unreal worm hits, and suddenly office productivity increases all over the world.

  3. What about shooting them? on Meteorite Bowling · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I'm not a phsyics expert, so this may be a stupid question...

    Couldn't you just fly a lot lower an shoot things, like maybe start with potatos?

  4. Phew! Good Thing... on Online Testing Patented · · Score: 2, Funny

    Good thing they forgot to add a Cowboy Neal option to their tests.

  5. Dude it goes to 64! on Athlon 64 Pushed Back to September · · Score: 4, Funny

    When we need that extra little processing kick, we just turn it up to 64.

    Why don't you just get a faster 32 bit processor?

    Uhh...but ours goes to 64.

  6. COBOL.NET on Tips and Tricks When Learning Multiple Languages? · · Score: 4, Funny

    With .NET it doesn't matter what language you use, so in this case the obvious thing to do is to learn COBOL.NET.

    I saw some scary examples of it in the .NET seminars.

  7. Re:The client - The irony on X-Box Private Key Challenge Ended · · Score: 1

    But just think of the irony if the key was cracked on a Windows machines with a VB client. Maybe using Excel VBA would've been even funnier.

  8. Plastic/Aluminum on Friendly Plastic Pop Can Nearly Ready for Market · · Score: 1

    Does anybody else remember the old New York Seltzer plastic can just like this from the 80's? I remember everyone boycotting them because of the recycling issues. They stopped making them pretty quickly.

  9. Re:MySQL vs PostgreSQL on Remote hole, DoS in MySQL · · Score: 1

    Not a troll, just a lame joke.

  10. MySQL vs PostgreSQL on Remote hole, DoS in MySQL · · Score: 2, Funny

    If MySQL was a real database, like PostgreSQL, you could just roll-back the DOS and be back up and running. ;)

  11. NTLM proxy fixed?! on Mozilla 1.2.1 Released · · Score: 1

    I didn't see that the NTLM proxy problem was fixed on Bugzilla (23679), but I am sending this from Mozilla 1.2.1 and it is going through my company NTLM proxy! Before I had to run a python script that I found on Freshmeat (Python Script) in order to get it to go through. It now appears that Mozilla finally has it built in.

  12. Re:using a hack for a hack on a hack, not a good h on Controlling iTunes with Perl · · Score: 2, Funny

    I think what you meant to say was:

    using a hack for a hack on a Mac, not a good hack

  13. Re:I'll upgrade... on Intel Releases "Fastest Chip Ever" · · Score: 3, Funny

    ...when they come out with a 4.77 GHz version.

    and also if it comes with 640MB of memory. That should be enough memory for anybody.

  14. Re:Free Windows for sale of Office? on Microsoft's New Hurdles · · Score: 2, Funny

    No way man! That would stupid, I'm already left-handed.

  15. Re:Running XP? on Microsoft Anti-Trust Rulings Due Tomorrow · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    This is wierd I was moderating this page, and it marked this comment as overrated. I didn't even have a drop down box for it availible. I would've marked it funny. Now it's letting post to a thread I've moderated...hmm.

  16. Clean Rooms on ID'ing People By How They Walk · · Score: 5, Interesting

    This is pretty interesting. I work a lot in a clean room at a wafer manufacturer and you can't see anything but peoples eyes when they are in the clean room. You quickly learn to recognize people from their body shape, size and of course, body language. In fact if you meet somebody in the cleanroom for the first time, it's always surprising how different they can look without a mask on.

  17. I think NT and newer does. on Use Linux to Reduce Your Power Bill · · Score: 0, Redundant

    I remember hearing about this ages ago from people that dual booted W95 and had could see the CPU temp. Whenever they ran W95 the CPU would always be hotter than when the booted into Linux. I think once Windows went to the NT kernel (NT, W2K, XP), it has the same feature where it waits on interupts like Linux.

  18. Battery Waste? on Batteries Powered by Leftover Food · · Score: 1

    Sounds like these batteries will need to poop sometime or another. Maybe you could hook a large one, enough to power your house, up to the sewer.

    Wait. Stick with me here. Maybe you could do it backwards, and have these batteries eat poop, and produce leftovers for the waste. Then they could power the fridge to store it and the microwaves to reheat it.

    Just like that South Park episode...

  19. Wrong on Eldred v. Ashcroft Oral Arguments · · Score: 2, Informative

    ...Disney would stand to lose $$$$$$$ if Mickey Mouse were released from copyright...

    Wrong. Mickey Mouse is TRADEMARKED, it's different from copyright. You won't ever get the right to use Mickey Mouse, no matter what the outcome of the case is.

  20. The full name is even better! on FSF Issues GNU/Linux Name FAQ · · Score: 1

    Try explaining 'GNUs Not Unix/Linux' to your co-workers.

    Well, which one is it then?

  21. Re:network topology on Secure Printing? · · Score: 1

    You can easily sniff on switched networks with ettercap.

  22. It's not always a big conspiracy on Is it Wrong to Accept an Employment Counter-Offer? · · Score: 1

    I work in a big company, and had the same thing happen. I accepted the counter offer that my original company offered. It worked out well for me, because they didn't realize I was dissatified with my pay. It would be different if I had asked for a raise, been denied, and got a counter when I "threatened" to quit. It's most definately a case by case situation, but just be careful of thinking everything is a conspiracy.

  23. You need a license for each client on Microsoft XP License Prohibits VNC · · Score: 1

    When you buy Windows Terminal server and Citrix and run MS Office from your server room, you don't just need to buy one license. You need to buy one copy of the OS and one copy of MS Office for each thin client. Even if they are running Linux native, with the Linux Citrix client.

    The same goes for when you use VNC to run a copy of Word. You are supposed to have a copy of the OS and the application license to use it.

    At least that's my interpretation. Of course IANAL. But I think the goal is to pay for a MS OS license even though you use another OS. It becomes much harder to justify Linux on cost alone with that.

  24. ELUA = End License User Agreement? on Microsoft XP License Prohibits VNC · · Score: 1

    I think you mean EULA (yoo-lah), not ELUA (e-loo?).

    I think it would make a great protest T-shirt: "End License User Agreements Now!"

  25. Gold Rims on Doctorow and Sterling Cyber-Riffing at SXSW · · Score: 1

    I'm not sure if I would call N'Sync and Britney Spears gold rims...
