  1. Try Noodling that thing! (hand catching catfish) on Grizzly-sized Catfish Caught in Thailand · · Score: 1

    Imagine trying to Noodling just to have that think jump on your arm! I can't believe "Noodling": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noodling

    a noodler goes underwater to depths ranging from only a few feet to up to twenty feet. Placing his hand inside a discovered catfish hole, a noodler uses his arm as bait to entice the fish. If all goes as planned, the catfish will swim forward and latch onto the fisherman's hand and arm.

  2. She? SHE?!? on Anonymous Library Cards An Option? · · Score: 1

    So only women can get the anonymous library cards?

  3. Trust them? Like the luggage guys? on Airport Screeners could see X-rated X-rays · · Score: 1

    Sure, it looks pretty naked, but we can trust them with that! RIGHT??? You mean like we can trust the luggage checkers to not steal stuff?

  4. More hacked passwds or more likely stolen? on Write Down Your Passwords · · Score: 1

    Do you think that more passwords are hacked each year, or that more are discovered written on a piece of paper and then used? /didn't rtfa

  5. Re:"Real" Dark Tips with Kevin Rose on Kevin Rose Leaving G4 to start Internet Only Show · · Score: 2

    Since when is G4 "FCC controlled"?

  6. ..and husbands (and debeers) cringe everywhere. on A Step Toward the Diamond Age · · Score: 1

    I almost puke when I think about how much I spent for that diamond engagement ring! Seriously. I was really on the fence, but it meant a lot to her, and I suprised her with an artificially-overpriced gem!

    I still can't believe that I spent so much of that ring.

  7. search results on Judge Denies TigerDirect's Request for Injunction · · Score: 1

    If you search (Google) "tiger software" the second link is tigerdirect.com, "tiger hardware" the only ad is tigerdirect. Seems like things work just fine. "Tiger deal" has NO results for Apple's Tiger but does have the 5th link as tiger direct.

    It's like tigerdirect didn't even try it for themselves.

  8. Liger next? on Third Parties Already Taking Advantage of Tiger · · Score: 1, Informative

    What's bigger than a Panther, better than a Tiger, and cooler than a Jaguar? A Liger of course.

  9. NOAA's voice? on New Bill Would Ban Public NOAA Weather Data · · Score: 2, Interesting

    What's NOAA have to say about this? Do they WANT to only be responsible for warnings?

  10. Pic here on The Bender PC Case · · Score: 2, Informative

    Toms Hardware has a pic of it.

  11. Better than nbc/cbs/fox/pbs .+ ads? on Video Distribution Platform Aiming to Kill TV · · Score: 1

    Will the networks jump in on it? DRM the videos and stuff ads that you have to watch in them? Being a Tivo guy I watch what I want when I want, but I STILL surf A LOT. I don't think I"ll ever spend my time downloading and searching for programs.

    Most of what I'm really interested in is available elsewhere (non-tv outlets). I'm not about to pay for or download scrubs or 24 (bot of which I usually watch, only b/c it happens on my tivo).

  12. Set Up Us The Bomb on Hitchhiker's Movie is Bad, says Adams Biographer · · Score: 1

    With early review / press like this, the movie is being set up to bomb. There are a lot of fan boy movies that were "ok" movies but bombed because of the press.

  13. Software's fault? Hell, HARDWARE guilty. or MPAA on Supreme Court Takes Hard Look at P2P · · Score: 1

    Software doesn't cause piracy, the hardware used causes piracy. Go after the PC makers.

    No wait, if there wasn't anything to pirate there wouldn't be piracy! Would there?

    Guns don't kill people, people kill people. Unfortunately, p2p software isn't a right (to bear arms). P2p is screwed.

  14. Pics? Series 1 no problems. on TiVo Starts Testing "Pop-up" Ads · · Score: 1

    Anyone have pics of this? /glad I have my lifetime on my series 1. :P

  15. RAM hog on Mozilla Thunderbird 1.0.1 Cancelled · · Score: 1

    I just want phoenix to give some of my RAM back. currently using 150mb, wtf. and only 11 tabs !

  16. Look out Adware! on French Court Orders Google to Stop Competing Ad Displays · · Score: 1

    What does this to do adware? I visit LL Bean and Eddie Bauer pop-up appears, thanks to the adware/spyware within, do I have a case?

  17. Before you freak out, think credit card. on Safeway Club Card Leads to Bogus Arson Arrest · · Score: 0, Redundant

    This story reminds me of why I put fake info on those supermarket cards. BUT then I realized that if I pay with my credit card the same thing can happen. What a mess.

  18. Accountability? on Microsoft Claims Linux Security a Myth · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Who is accountable for the security of the Linux kernel?

    And Microsoft takes the blame for their OS's security, but they are hardly ever held accountable for it.

  19. So COOL! on Build Your Own Self-Balancing Unicycle · · Score: 1

    I've been wanting a unicycle lately - no one seems to want to get me one for christmas or birthday. Hm, maybe I'll just build on of these.

  20. wtf, YES, China does ban games. Why defend them? on China Bans 50 Games · · Score: 1

    I don't understand the RTFA posts. Sure the article does say that China is banning some illegal games, but history proves that China bans games and open discussion at will:
    Football
    Hearts of Iron
    General BBC article

  21. Good things don't last forver. on A Countdown To Global Catastrophe? · · Score: 1

    What did we expect? Mankind to live and prosper on this giant ball of dirt forever? All great things shall pass. Too good to be true. Nothing lasts forever. Good-bye cruel world.

  22. Make sure you get a set w/ DVI... wait, now HDMI. on HDMI and What it Will Do for You · · Score: 1

    I remember while shopping for an HDTV everyone said to make sure you get a set with DVI. Next thing I know my HDTV didn't have the next big thing - "make sure you have HDMI".... nice.

  23. mini to go way of the cube b/c ram upgrade prices. on iPod Shuffle, Mac Mini, iLife '05, iWork · · Score: 1

    BTW, it costs $450 to upgrade the mac mini from 256mb ram to 1gb. That's the price of the plain mini. A superdrive upgrade is only $100. Bluetooth and wifi $150

    SO, by the time you upgrade the ram, superdrive and wifi/bluetooth, you'll be spending over $1200 for a system with no monitor and a slower processor.

    I just don't think this will fly.

  24. NT4 machines cleanest on End Of Support for Windows NT 4.0 · · Score: 2, Interesting

    My NT4 machines are the cleanest running machines - no spyware malware etc. No more support means no more hackers trying to get in.

  25. Segway. on Top 25 Innovations of the Past 25 Years · · Score: 1

    Segway. (not so serious)
