    stevesliva, stick around for your prize.
    Everyone else, thanks for playing, and better luck next time!

  5. Re:What would be more revolutionary... on Inkscape 0.42: The Ultimate Answer · · Score: 1

    My most recent guess is, that the submitter gets paid per click on the explanatory page. The editor is complicit, or clueless, take your pick.

  6. Re:Stopped reading it when it got so political... on The Onion in 2056 · · Score: 1

    I thought this thread was about the Onion, not about reality.

  7. Re:Subtle Economic Satire on The Onion in 2056 · · Score: 1

    Those aren't yuan, those are ChaseMitsubishi neo-yen. /read last night //damn, not on FARK

  8. Re:As a college student on Interest in CS as a Major Drops · · Score: 2, Funny

    You're right. The writing requirements would probably kill you, although I'll bet you'd be challenged.

  9. Re:agree with the article... on Next Generation X11 · · Score: 1

    Don't you just hate machine translation in the Slow Zone?

  10. Re:Friday the 13th!!!!! on Asteroid 2004 MN4 May Hit Earth After All · · Score: 1

    If that's the penultimate, then what's the ultimate?

  11. Re:You'r reading it out of order! on Rasterman Responds To Seth And Havoc · · Score: 1

    Well, yeah, since Rasterman and Havoc are such common, ordinary names. BTW, who are you, Ford Prefect?

  12. Re:The Speed of Dark on Astronomers Find Star-Less Galaxy · · Score: 1

    Certainly there are. Gratuitous link.

  13. Re:Women? on United Kingdom Leads the World in TV Downloads · · Score: 1

    So true. Belgian beers exist only to wean the weak off of wine coolers and fruity drinks. Once Belgian beers are acceptable, move the subject over to German lagers and Czech pilsners.

  14. Re:Ahh reality TV in other timezones... on United Kingdom Leads the World in TV Downloads · · Score: 1

    I'm not a TV watcher myself, but I've lived through a buttload of nasty, hot, brutally humid Florida summers. This guy has the right idea; A/C, and indoor entertainment.

  15. Re:I hate Fortran (an old fogey responds) :-) on How Not to Write FORTRAN in Any Language · · Score: 1

    Between this thread, and your sig, I feel an urge (buried for decades) to type @FTN,CS PROGNAME....

  16. WARNING: attitude storm in progress on Centrino-based Linux Laptops · · Score: 1

    Man, I thought I was a Linux zealot...

    Actually, I'm just glad that Centrino support has developed to this point. There are a lot of interesting Centrino laptops out there, and since I'm shopping around for laptops (in a half-assed way), this is good news. Once Intel's name is on Centrino-enabled Linux, support should only improve.

  17. Re:Please, no "Amiga is Dead" stuff... on Ars Technica Reviews AmigaOS 4.0 · · Score: 1

    No, AmigaOS is to Linux what BeOS was to Windows. Note the "was." Amiga was the coolest thing in the world, a decade-and-a-half ago. Is there anything cool about the new Amiga? Anything it does better than a $1000 PC? No, I didn't think so. Oh, and you're always welcome here, just don't mind the occasional laughter and derisive snorts.

  18. Re:Interesting what was left on ISS Food Shortage Cause Revealed · · Score: 1

    You forgot the IRONY tag, and/or the smiley.

    Bobbing for apples out of a decision maker's asshole... You are indeed gifted in your imagery.

  20. Re:Amazing on The Super Superhighway · · Score: 1

    Haw!! Texans standing up to naked land grabs, misuse of power, and the God-given right of Big Business to fuck over any quantity of people? Sure, pal!! Not this millenium, but soon, right?

  21. Phrase for the ages on Mystery Phenomenon Cleans Mars Opportunity Rover · · Score: 4, Funny

    You have to love an article containing the phrase "exciting and unexplained cleaning events".

    I sure wish some of these would happen in my car and apartment!

  22. Re:a bit too dismmisive? on Torvalds on Opening Solaris · · Score: 2, Insightful

    For one thing, Linus is right about Solaris/x86 being a joke. I've been trying to run it (admittedly, halfheartedly) on my home boxes since Solaris 7 came out, and it's never recognized any of my hardware.

    For another, what does Solaris have that Linux doesn't? Large scale SMP? That monstrously large ZFS filesystem? dtrace? Okay, so that stuff gets ported. Other than that, why Solaris?

  23. Re:It Stays Exactly the Same, Year after Year! NOT on New Calendar Proposal · · Score: 3, Funny

    It doesn't matter how hard it is; just call it Jesus Week, and watch 'em lap it up.....

  24. Re:But ... on New Calendar Proposal · · Score: 1

    AAARGH! Pet peeve alert!

    Attention, all people: mnemonic rhymes that sound just as good when you fuck them up, are not at all useful!!!!! Please make a note of this.

    That is all.

  25. Re:Next Ursula Le Guin movie- on Le Guin Peeved About Earthsea Miniseries · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Oh, my God. Those Hollywood grassfuckers *would* do something like that, too. Please, do not repeat that statement anywhere else. Thank you.
