  1. red meat on FBI Releases More Carnivore Information · · Score: 1
    It's a carnivore, right? So let's shove a big, juicy uncooked steak in that Jaz drive... short it out and e-coli poisoning all at once.

    I must admit that this whole carnivore/FBI thing just gives me those happy, tingly vibes all over... NOT!

    Some people seem to get worked up over the invasiveness... what worries me, especially in the litigation-happy US... just think if the FBI got some wild-ass lead, felt the need to investigate a whole bunch of people with this, and then random things were read into the context of the messages... sounds paranoid? maybe, maybe not... don't we know of someone who was investigated for basically visiting a site just after it was hacked? just what we need to "fight crime": a toy to give a self-rightous FBI more false leads and to sstir the rest of us into a frenzy... too bad we can't just shove that raw steak in the Jaz drive and make it GO AWAY!

    Anyway... enough of my ranting.


    I bid thee, adieu!

  2. TiVo hacks... on Hemos The Iron Chef · · Score: 1
    If anyone has a TiVo they'd like to hack, I've got an axe they can borrow... and a nice reciporocating saw - very nice smooth cuts.

  3. Donations? on Corel Looking To Sell Linux Operations? · · Score: 1
    Well, I've got about $1.50 in my pocket... anyone want to pass the hat and make 'em an offer?

  4. well, that ruins my plans... on Intel Says No SMP Support For Pentium 4 · · Score: 5
    I was hoping to replace my 386 with a quad Pentium 4 system, but I guess I can scrap that... and it seemed like the obvious upgrade path, too.

    Maybe I'll just call IBM and see if I can get one of those ASCI yellow's. Or was it green? Beige? Magenta? Oh, hell, I can't remember.

    Anyway, I thought that the Pentuim 4 itself was supposed to be physically huge, yes? Wouldn't haveing multiple P4's then require you to have a case the size of a coffin? Though it could be possible o heat your home with such a system...

  5. Highly overrated... on Commercial IPv6 Service In Australia · · Score: 1
    I feel that the concept of turning lead into gold is highly overrated (thus the subject header, eh?)... what we need are machines that can turn asparagus into peaches, brussel sprouts into chocolate, alfalfa sprouts into cheese, Zima into a real beverage, and beef jerky into lemon sorbet. And why, do you ask, do we need to turn beef jerky into lemon sorbet? I have no idea, it just seemed clever at the time.

    And anyway... once we get this whole telepathy thing figured out, the internet will be obsolete, and we'll have a whole new meaning of peer-to-peer, as well as whole new vast expanses of sexual harassment lawsuits.

  6. How peculiar on Two For The Sky: Satellites For HAM And You · · Score: 3
    Personally, I don't have much of a need for a satellite. And I know that my ham has absolutely no need for one - just a little honey-glaze, maybe, and bake it with a few pineapple rings... now that's good ham.

  7. ok.... on Democratic GPL Software Company · · Score: 1
    well, that's interesting... I think...

    Seems to me a conversation whilst toking the night away went a few steps further than usual and now their living their haze induced dream... just hope it doesn't become a nightmare... we've already seen how "fun" democracy can become... people are people, no matter how idealistic they may want to be.

  8. I've been looking for one of these... on Layers Upon Layers: Plex86 Runs Windows95 · · Score: 2
    Arrrg! I've been looking for one of these for all me life! (he says in Pirate-ese).

    So anyway, if you Plex your muscles whilst drinking WINE, will your machine explode? That's what I've been wondering.

    And for those of you who don't speak insane (such as the above): Stability? Anyone? I'll admit, I'm a bit conservative - so if it ain't stable, and I'm not developing (aka bug-testing, I'm no programmer), then I don't want it. Plain and simple... not stable - not on my machine. And, yes, I know that stability can be a rather subjective thing, with many qualifiers - its stable so long as you don't do this, this, this, or especially this.

    Just a crazy freak wondering out loud...

  9. Other lego suggestions... on Monty Python and The Matrix LEGO · · Score: 1
    I'd really like to see Boogie Nights done up in glittering plastic. Also, perhaps Resivoir Dogs.

    I'm hungry... let's get a taco.

  10. Re:here's a new goal for all the spammers... on 5th Obfuscated Perl Contest Winners · · Score: 1
    Ok... offtopic I can see...

    The fact that someone thought it to be interesting, I find quite intruiging! (thanks!)

    But flamebait???? I was issuing a challenge, not provoking a flame war! Forgive me if "last post" has already been done, I was not aware... it probably is a simple case of me just not paying attention in the past. But flamebait? No, no, no... this is simply offtopic, but evidently offtopic in an interesting manner.

    Please, if you choose to moderate, keep things in context - again, the big picture...

    Anyway... to further amend my challenge... how about trying to post at as many of the prime numbers as possible? Now, that should be a challenge to at least someone out there...

  11. Oooo!!!! I've got it! on Ian Clarke on Peer-to-Peer · · Score: 2
    By using a decentralized network structure thingy, I can help to spread love and joy to the whole world! And then I can switch gears in mid-stream to move into brainwash mode: world domination begins! Spread the love! Spread the love!

    Oh, wait... we're talkin' 'bout 'puter stuff here, aren't we? Damn... I was hoping to pollute the world's water supplies with LSD.

    The colors, the colors... I can see the music!

  12. Re:here's a new goal for all the spammers... on 5th Obfuscated Perl Contest Winners · · Score: 1
    ok, fine then... how about mean post and/or median post... play the game of projecting just how many posts you think there will be.

    Something to challenge you more than the current level, anyway.

  13. Souring techniques on Scour is Dead · · Score: 1
    Usually, when I need to scour, I grab an abrasive pad, such as a Brillo pad, and maybe some Comet. This also leads into scrubbing, oft followed by a rinse. Just don't eat the Comet - it makes your mouth turn green...

    Comet - it makes you vomit. So buy Comet and vomit today!

  14. Keeping the people in check on Combating Cheating In Online Games · · Score: 1
    Has anyone considered random killings to keep fear in the hearts of those who play these online games. Just hire some Mafia hit-man to whack some random online gamer, proclaim it was because they were cheating. Repeat this about 20-30 times, and we'll see a marked decrease in the quantity of online cheating. Fear is a powerful motivator.

  15. Free-for-all on Philly Court Convicts 2600 Staffer on Minor Counts · · Score: 2
    Let's burn him at the stake. Or at the steak for that matter, because the nice cooking beef will help counter the stench of burning human flesh!

    I say the death penalty isn't enough! We must make these heathens PAY!

    ...oh, wait... what was this about?

    Well, I suppose that would be relevant if I had gone to MIT. But, ya no wut? I DIDN'T.

    please allow me to direct you, dear putz, to my generous helping of flames (as I'm sure it is now labelled) under the "Iridium Saved?" article. The lovely passage is named "Yeah, yeah, yeah..", which, mind you, is not an early Beatles reference.

  18. How ironic! on Give That Monkey Brain A Robotic Arm! · · Score: 2
    Why, just the other day, I was thinking of having MY brain wired up to a monkey in Las Vegas, via my cell phone. Then I thought instead to have my brain wired up to a stock broker's, just to see how truly fucked up their version of reality really is. But, then again, I thought why not just have my brain wired up to some porn starlet? And I'll tall you why not... because that would be somewhat fucked up, that's why.

    Hey, next, let's wire up a monkey's ass to a minefield... that could prove amusing for at least 5 minutes... or better yet, lets fuckin' wire up a whole bunch of monkeys to Brad Pitt for no good reason at all other than to say that we've done it.

    OR... we could wire up some scientists to a high voltage / high amperage source and watch all the fun. And when we're done, we can blame it on PETA as we hit some lame-o corp. CEO in the face with a shit pie!

  19. The Meaning of Iridium on Slashback: Aircraft, Dreams, Returns · · Score: 2
    Hmmm... let's see... when iridium is used in the real world, meaning the metal, it is because it is a nice, rare, INERT metal. Ah-ha! Inert - sits there and does NOTHING...

    Well, then. How appropriate, eh?

    NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

    I like the lameness filter, it is my friend. It keeps me from posting really lame messages like this one.

  22. A HURD of GNU's ran over my dog! on GNU Hardware Cooperative · · Score: 1
    No, really! It happened just the other day.

    I had my dog, Fido, out for a nice afternoon walk, when we were viciously assaulted by a raving HURD of GNU's. I remember one of them rambling on about "Open Sourcing" my dog when they suddenly grabbed him and disemboweled the poor pooch right there on the sidewalk.

    Some sort of argument brewed up about whether to replace large portions of Fido's intestines or to modify the stomach and liver - so they forked poor Fido right then and there. They even broke my leash and didn't offer to fix it or to compensate me for my losses.

    Buncha bastards!



    and for those of you who don't get it... too bad. I'm not explaining it...

    SEE! If he simply would have used one of those 140GB Vapourwhere drives all the problems would have been solved, except, of course, for the METH addiction!

  24. Re:AP Story on AOL/Transmeta/Gateway Internet Appliance Launch · · Score: 1
    And for those of you who don't give a sh1t about the AP story, here's something completely irrelevant:


    Once upon a time, there were some pigs who ate bacon. This was mildly disturbing to the other farm animals, so the cows lead a revolt, killing the pigs in a bloody pool of pork rinds. Then all the animals feasted upon Canadian bacon, ham, pickled pigs feet, and BACON!

    All this and the BeeGee's, too!!!!!!


    Really, it's true!
