  1. Re:Don't Use Copper - wrong on Using a House's Concrete Foundation To Cool a PC · · Score: 1

    You mean copper.org has a document that prefers copper over PEX? Shocking.

  2. Re:Know your market. on Microsoft Poland Photoshops Black Guy To White One · · Score: 1

    I grew up in Poland (81-93).

    81-93? Is that Poland's record in wars? I thought it was 0-2.

  3. Re:Who is running Nielsen anyway, Leslie? on Nielsen Struggles To Track Modern Viewing Habits · · Score: 1

    Or change the channel during the commercials. Nielsen is not guilty of falling behind the times because of DVRs, they are guilty of falling behind the times because of remote controls.

  4. Obligatory Comment on New Species of Worms Found To Release "Bombs" · · Score: 0

    I, for one, welcome our new deep-ocean dwelling, bomb-releasing overlords.

  5. Re:Waste on How IBM Plans To Win Jeopardy! · · Score: 1

    I'm sorry, but you didn't answer in the form of a question.

  6. Re:Read the column here on Columnist Fired For Reviewing Pirated Movie · · Score: 1

    You're fired.

  7. Re:Prednisone on Asperger Syndrome Tied To Low Cortisol Levels · · Score: 1

    A common behavior of people with autism is actually to focus on the mouth and lips. They find making eye contact very difficult.

  8. For my wife on Happy Pi Day · · Score: 1

    I sent my wife 3.14 flowers. Maybe now she'll get off my back.

  9. Re:Solar Polar Mission on Ulysses Spacecraft on its Last Legs · · Score: 1

    >It is not uncommon for the death of old spacecraft to be messy or even sloppy

    Yeah, and we all know what happened to Veeger (VGR), too.

  10. Re:Gentlemen, start your spambots on Yahoo CAPTCHA Hacked · · Score: 1

    Ok, I give up. What colour are buses in London?

  11. Re:All telecommuters take note on Will Telecommuting Kill a Career? · · Score: 1

    You're right, it really isn't 50% more money. He said "my rate is 50% of what the next guy would charge."

    That means if he went somewhere else, he would make 100% more, assuming he'd get a similar job.

  12. Re:Marketing 101 on HD DVD to Screw Early HDTV Adopters · · Score: 1

    As previously noted:

    Ben Franklin's quote: "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results."

    Who's the insane person now, us or them?

  13. Not just computer games on Paid to Play Video Games · · Score: 2, Interesting

    They don't just play video games in Korea. There are over 250 BOARDGAME cafes in Soeul alone, where people meet and _pay_ to play boardgames. Not Monopoly and Trivial Pursuit, but so-called Euro- or designer boardgames like those shown on Spielboy.com or Boardgamegeek.com.

  14. no big loss on Aussie Music Industry Sues ISP Over Filesharing · · Score: 1

    You mean I can't get Men At Work singles any more? Damnit.

  15. Too bad... on Film Distribution Comes To The Internet · · Score: 1


    Too bad Filthy's not here to see this.

    Sniff.

  16. Re:Now that... on New Theory on Water Strider Propulsion · · Score: 1

    No, it's Aragorn.

  17. "gamers" or "gamers" on Gamers Aren't (Always) Geeks · · Score: 1

    It's odd to read so many people using the word "gamers" when it means something different to so many people.

    When I hear the term gamers, I think of boardgamers (as in Spielboy.com).

    Other people think of RPG gamers; others think of MMORPG gamers; and still others think of FPS gamers.

  18. Re:Domain names on Sex.com Case Finally 'Over' · · Score: 1

    Of course, you run into the issue of recognizing a string of characters as property. A plot of land doesn't move. I can't type it out a new plot of land. I can go out and jump up and down on it.

    You can even bury Mr. Cohen on it, may he rest in peace.

  19. Re:Mechanism? on McDonalds to go Wireless? · · Score: 2, Funny

    "Would you like Internet Access?" the 15 year old hottie asks you.

    Um, you need to spend less time at the PlayLand and more time with adults. Sick bastard.

  20. Re:Variable Frequency on Venezuela Falling Behind · · Score: 1

    This was about 20 yesrs ago so things have probably changed by now.

    Yeah, with NAFTA, they probably moved the factories to Venezuela.

  21. Re:A trully fascinating game on A Tale in the Desert · · Score: 1

    and guilds become essential to achieve
    anything, and this is where the fun starts.


    Sounds like working with unions on construction projects. I doubt you'll find anyone who butts heads with the Teamsters that will call this "fun".

  22. no long-term worries on The New Face of Global Competition · · Score: 1
    From the article:

    Within two years, Wipro says, three-quarters of the employees its customers see will be local nationals: American, European, or Asian.

    This means that any advantage the Indian's have had by being able to compete on price is going to be erased. Then they will just be another EDS or IBM Global Services division.

  23. Re:And after much brain scanning... on Using Neuromarketing to Sell Products · · Score: 2

    I must be a hermaphrodite. I think about sexy shoes.

  24. A La Carte? on Cable TV A La Carte? · · Score: 2

    Cable TV A La Carte? You mean I can watch the History Channel in French now? I wonder if you get to see Marcel Marcel get his Maginot ass whupped by a blitzkrieg. Sacre bleu!

  25. Re:You're not married are you? on Cable TV A La Carte? · · Score: 4, Funny

    I'm recently divorced and can honestly say the best part is never having to sit through another Trading Spaces marathon!

    Is that because you no longer have a wife or no longer have a T.V.?
