  1. When at the Olympics on BSOD Makes Appearance at Olympic Opening Ceremonies · · Score: 3, Informative

    you perform your very best.

    lets face it, BSOD is the face of Windows.

    you cannot have Windows at a major event without it participating, by doing what it does best. just like the athletes.

  2. easy to get rid of a rival on Fingerprint Test Tells Much More Than Identity · · Score: 1

    just get some illegal stuff and rub the rivals keyboard. this will PROVE they are guilty by all current standards.

    just as easy as getting a neighbors house in Afghanistan by calling them terrorists, knowing they will spend the next ten years in a steel cage in cuba.

  3. Problem solved on Ohio Sues Over Missing Electronic Votes · · Score: 2, Funny

    they nation should contract the Nevada Gaming Commission to manage voting software development testing and quality assurance.

    why do I have to think of these things....

  4. editing out the smog on MediaSentry Hired By People's Republic of China · · Score: 1

    does this control include the ability to edit out all the pollution during the sweeping views of paradise?

  5. no-knock raid by Feds? on "Clear" Laptop Found, In the Same Locked Office · · Score: 2, Interesting

    they no longer have to tell you they are searching, and can do it quietly/legally while you are away.

    maybe the feds came in took it, got a good clean copy, and returned it?

  6. this is a star trek re-run on California Can't Perform Pay Cut Because of COBOL · · Score: 1

    this story reminds me of the Star Trek NG episode where they come across a ship of idiots who need help fixing their ship

  7. Steve is a dead man, miss him miss him miss him on Apple After Jobs · · Score: 4, Funny

    I heard that while playing my OS X install disk backwards

  8. 0what 0is 0with 0the 0zeroes 0? on Neal Stephenson's "Anathem" Due In September · · Score: 1, Funny

    prefixing a zero onto the date is GENIUS!

    and so very very cool.

    when will mySQL start storing dates in MMDDYYYYY format?

    or is it more properly 0MMDDYYYY?

    I want my iPhone to display years this way, because it's sooooooo cool

  9. Now all they need is little Chocolate donuts on China Races To Clean Up Olympic Air · · Score: 1

    worked for Belushi

  10. where can I get a PC with a 300bd internal modem? on What Does It Take To Get a PC With XP? · · Score: 1

    I want to maximize my windows experience

  11. True freedom = BSD on Linguistic Problems of GPL Advocacy · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    BSD is truly FREE 100%

    GPL is FREE up to the point you want to integrate it into something.
    (i.e. you must become one with the BORG)
    so to me, the only difference between MS license and GPL is you can read the GPL code.

    flame away penguins, you are still and always free to be wrong!

  12. just another murderer on Hans Reiser Leads Police To Nina's Body · · Score: 1

    a cold blooded murderer

  13. if you get CBC... on 2008 Beijing Olympics as a Media Test-Bed · · Score: 4, Informative

    they do an outstanding job covering the Olympics, if you can get it.

    while they of course emphasize Canadian athletes, they don't cater to them exclusively.

    and you get to actually watch complete events. not flip from event to event in a format apparently designed only for those with attention deficit.

    I bet CBC even gets some of the smog on screen. what a wonderful place to run long distances...

  14. Re:Apple Rips off do it your-selfer's too on Apple Laptop Upgrades Costing 200% More Than Dells · · Score: 1

    thanks for the sage advice, such notions of going elsewhere just never occurred to me

  15. Apple Rips off do it your-selfer's too on Apple Laptop Upgrades Costing 200% More Than Dells · · Score: 1

    check the prices on self-installed memory, it's well over double what you can get the same memory from ANYwhere else

    Apple is in your face with this. it's a blatant "rip off" IMHO

    what can you expect from a company that sends out 100 dollar make-up-for-the-iphone-ripoff coupons that quietly expire a month before Christmas, thanks for nothing Steve

  16. WTF?? on WTF? NC Offers to Replace 10,000 License Plates · · Score: 1

    WTF?

  17. Keep Salaries up on New Grads Shun IT Jobs As "Boring" · · Score: 1

    way to go kids. keep demand up!

    I'll take fries with that burger....

  18. Re:huh? on Microsoft Linking Silverlight, Ruby on Rails · · Score: 1

    I am sure it's got the Good Housekeeping Logo too.

    check back after the first lawsuit

  19. L. Ron Hubbard nemesis on Ghostly Ring Found Circling Dead Star · · Score: 1

    OMG the ring is back!

    time for another round of postcards and seminars, it must be defeated at all costs....

  20. huh? on Microsoft Linking Silverlight, Ruby on Rails · · Score: 1

    is there an actual story here?

    when MS USES Ruby and then actually contributes ANYTHING with a license that isn't viral, report back.

  21. thought crime on Prototype EU Airplane Spy Cams Watch For Facecrime · · Score: 2, Funny

    finally, a way to discover those who are thinking criminal thoughts!

    I bet it even works 5-10% of the time.

  22. desperation is never pretty on Microsoft To Pay People To Search · · Score: 1

    really, this has to be one of the more pathetic attempts to get internet attention, ever

  23. he got it wrong on UK Teen Cited For Calling Scientology a "Cult" · · Score: 1

    it's not a cult, it's a scam

  24. no one thought of these on Hubble Survey Finds Half of the Missing Matter · · Score: 1

    can they help find my car keys?

    how about all those lost socks in the dryer?

  25. remove them on China to Regulate Internet Map Publishing · · Score: 1

    remove them from all globes too, have them made in China
