  1. Misinformation, satire, and lies. on Wikipedia's New Archnemesis · · Score: 1

    Uncyclopedia stands for everything Wikipedia cannot have: misinformation, satire, and lies.

    Bull honky. Wikipedia has plenty of all three.

  2. Re:What is even more interresting... on 2.7 Million VOIP Subscribers in the United States · · Score: 1

    I know Skype has. I was asking about voipbuster.

  3. Re:What is even more interresting... on 2.7 Million VOIP Subscribers in the United States · · Score: 1

    Yeah, but do they have a Linux client?

  4. Re:define irony on Fired AOL Engineer gets 15 Months · · Score: 1

    Yes, you, as the taxpayer. Unless you have to pay direct garbage collection fees (and I know that I, as a homeowner, do not--YMMV), the parent's point is still valid.

  5. Re:Stallman was right up to this point ... on Textbooks With EULAs · · Score: 1

    Don't forget downside (C) this is likely an infringement of the publisher's copyright and illegal. But don't let that get in your way.

  6. Postscript? on Sanely Moving from Word to the Web? · · Score: 1

    I haven't done this before, but what about outputting from Word to Postscript and then running pstohtml to convert the postscript to HTML. Does pstohtml make better HTML than Word?

  7. Re:Reverse the logic for it to work on SiteKey to Prevent Phishing · · Score: 1

    Isn't that kind of what is going on here?

    Bank Site: What is your login ID?
    Me (arriving at site): 123456
    Bank Site: Here is a picture you gave us.
    Me: OK I trust you.

  8. Re:SMS authentication is already being used! on SiteKey to Prevent Phishing · · Score: -1, Redundant

    I don't have a cellphone, you insensitive clod!

  9. Re:A brief history of Medicine on Meet Web Hypochondriacs · · Score: 1

    Here's another Wikipedia link for you to peruse:

  10. Re:From TFA... on Sharp's Double-View LCD TV · · Score: 1

    Uh, billboards have gotten along just fine for years being a visual-only medium. Why should this technology change that?

  11. Re:And guess where they probably won't end up on Britain to Pilot GPS Speed Governors · · Score: 1

    Couldn't that be because the majority of drivers don't really want to tempt fate and pass the police car that is already going over the speed limit?

  12. Re:then why was she in jail FWITS? on Microsoft Sets Value Of Pirated Windows: $1 · · Score: 1

    Now that's just ridiculous. Whether or not she is innocent, the courts still require an opportunity to try her for the crime. She may be considered innocent of the crime, but that doesn't mean that the courts place any trust in her willingness to return for trial.

  13. Re:1984 on UK to lnstall Wireless Mics on London Streets · · Score: 3, Informative

    Sure he was. Hitler became a German citizen in 1932. (See w:Adolf Hitler)

  14. Re:Electronic Equivalents on Post-It Notes - 25 Years of Hypertext in Paper · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I actually find it easier and more convenient to stick real notes onto my monitor than work with those things on my desktop. The notes are always on top, can be moved easily if necessary, and can adhere to the frame of the monitor to stay out of the way.

  15. Abuse on U.S. National Identity Cards All But Law · · Score: 4, Interesting

    How soon does everyone think this system will be abused either by the government or by thieves?

    Probably about as quickly as emergency military spending bills have been abused to pass RealID Card legislation.

  16. Re:Well on Kernel, Shell Boots on DS Linux · · Score: 4, Funny

    Sure, put one on each screen.

  17. Re:Spoiler on Kevin Smith Previews Revenge of the Sith · · Score: 2, Informative

    I believe that H2G2 = Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (Cf. h2g2).

    I've never seen HG2G used before.

  18. Re:Even more annoying... on Comments are More Important than Code · · Score: 1

    Or maybe he just uses indent(1).

  19. Re:ok, like, again, check... on Paris Hilton Recruited to Publicize Linux · · Score: 1

    It's obvious, but: "Ulch - that post was tainted! You feel deathly sick.

  20. Re:Wireless? on Toshiba's One-Minute-Recharge Li-ion Batteries · · Score: 2, Funny

    Yeah, but the toughest part will be building in the DRM.

  21. Re:Lets not forget on Creaky Operating Systems Form IT Foundations · · Score: 1

    That depends. If he/she is in the UK, where the subjunctive is all but dead, then it should be "wasn't".

    This grammar nugget was brought to you by the letter "E".

  22. Re:Can't Microsoft do *anything* original? on Tim Bray On The Origin Of XML · · Score: 1

    Moof?

  23. Re:One flaw on Lab-Made Fireball May Be a Black Hole · · Score: 1

    I'm sorry, but what exactly made you say that? I consulted a couple of dictionaries, and they don't know anything about "pendula".

    However, if you do like popovers, visit sites like this.
