  1. Re:Come again, please? on Warp Engines In Development? · · Score: 1

    Yeah, that was my first thought, too.

    Unfortunately, you'd need a lot more than 1.21 Gigawatts.

  2. Re:Would love to see proportionate justice on Spammer Gets $11 Billion Fine · · Score: 1

    This isn't a case of a jury awarding punitive damages. It's a case of a person who couldn't do basic math to figure out that, while a $10 fine for sending a spam isn't much, $10 per spam message can add up when you start to send millions of them.

  3. Dear Pres. Bush, on Bush Backed Spying On Americans · · Score: 5, Funny

    Why do you hate America?

  4. Re:RIP Jon Postel on A New TCP/IP Classic · · Score: 1

    *Looks around sheepishly at printouts of RFCs bound with big black clips, flexes muscles, faints.*

  5. Re:Not too hard on Sony Repents Over CD Debacle · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It's easier than that. They'll just ban Linux.

  6. How I Learned To Stop Worrying & Love the Bomb on Big ID Thefts Not To Be Feared · · Score: 1

    Nothing to worry about, folks! Except that your ID is stolen FOREVER, and the thieves are certainly working on ways of automating the process.

  7. Rhapsody? on Web Based Rhapsody Targets Linux · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Wasn't this the OS that didn't become Mac OS X? Or something like that?

  8. True AI is 30 years away on Company Claims Development of True AI · · Score: 1

    Just like it was 40 years ago.

  9. What a gyp! on The Scripts of J. Michael Straczynski, Vol. 1 · · Score: 1

    From the article title, I thought the book would contain all of the scripts from "Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors"!!!

  10. Re:Check out Rob Pike's thoughts on code commentin on How to Write Comments · · Score: 1

    Good idea. Now I'm off to finish writing foo_returns_the_system_configuration_as_a_big_tree ().

  11. Re:Noooo kidding. on Recruiting IT Students? · · Score: 1

    Here's an idea: offer a decent wage.

    Experienced people want to be paid.

  12. Yawn on Geneticists Claim Aging Breakthrough · · Score: 5, Funny

    Where we can get fearless, immortal, FLYING mice, then I'll be excited.

    Especially if they can also sing "Here I come to save the day."

  13. YES!!!! on Would You Use Ad-Supported Windows? · · Score: 1

    Just what I want! Windows with spyware INCLUDED!!!! No need to install it myself.

  14. Export regulations on Quantum Computing Regulation Already? · · Score: 1

    Wow, so that means that US companies won't be able to sell Chinese-built quantum computers to other countries. (Since, obviously, US companies MUST offshore all non-managerial tasks.)

  15. We already knew that Al foil was insufficient on Aluminum Foil Hats Will Not Stop "Them" · · Score: 4, Funny

    That's why we need to protect our precious bodily fluids.

  16. Re:that's what i was thinking on Using Gravity To Tow Asteroids · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    The Chinese are already ahead of us. At least THEY can put a man in orbit.

  17. Prior Art: 1960 on Company Claims Patent Over XML · · Score: 2, Funny

    John McCarthy invented LISP.

    Since XML is just LISP S-expressions made ugly, there's your prior art.

    I guess they could try to patent ugliness...

  18. Re:Bush Administration Announces... on Doubts About Future GPS Reliability · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Can't use the north star. It's obviously a pagan artifact, with a Latin name and everything.

  19. Bush Administration Announces... on Doubts About Future GPS Reliability · · Score: 3, Funny

    new "Faith-based" navigation system...

    Film at 11.

  20. George Bush doesn't care about scientists on Top Advisory Panel Warns Erosion of U.S. Science · · Score: 2, Funny

    Kayne West was so close.

    Firefox for Linux is INFINITELY worse than IE for Linux, because there has never been a security-related bug found in IE for Linux.

  22. Wow! A Clue! on Piracy Not To Blame In Decline of Moviegoers · · Score: 1

    Hollywood is JUST NOW realizing that they make a lot of really bad movies.

    How long until we can have ballistic 45 minute rides from Los Angeles to Tokyo?
