  1. my offer on IBM Getting PwC Consulting for $3.5 Billion · · Score: 1

    for a cool $3.5 billion in cash and stock.

    they didn't seem to want to go for my offer of $5.37, maybe after next weeks allowance...

  2. what they do.... on Demon Ducks of Doom? · · Score: 1

    i guess this is what animals do when they're stuck on an island without much change or much to do for centuries

  3. remind me... on Karl Auerbach Wins Right To Inspect ICANN Records · · Score: 3, Insightful

    remind me again why we have to have these kinds of legal battles with the orginization that is "running" the Internet? Doesn't it counter the "priciples" of the 'net? (openness, sharing of knowledge, etc..)

  4. Re:WHAT??? on Microsoft's Big Stick in Peru · · Score: 1

    I think you missed the point.. we're not doing that well in the markets right now, microsoft can't make them that much better, but they sure could make them worse

  5. WHAT??? on Microsoft's Big Stick in Peru · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Our economy does not need Microsoft. Just think of how much worse it would be if Microsoft also got caught with some corporate scandel (aside from this monopoly thing). Have you not noticed it only took a few huge companies, not many small diversified companies, to make our markets collapse.

  6. this could be good... on Solar System's Path May Have Spurred Ice Ages · · Score: 3, Funny

    for geeks that is... see since we tend to like sci-fi, space exploration, etc... we just have to let the environuts know about this, then they lobby for us to build massive space structures to shield us from the cosmic rays or generate more... cuz comeon, really, save the environment! stop cosmic rays!

  7. prelude... on Perens Backs Down from DMCA Violation · · Score: 1

    Why doesn't he just have a prelude to his speech explaining in detail how what he is doing is not endorsed by his employeer and what he is doing now on stage does not carry back to his profession, that they are two distant things, etc....

    the only thing he is doing is excersising his free speech abilities...

  8. Important reminder... on MPAA Requests Immunity to Commit Cyber-Crimes · · Score: 1

    Just wanted to remind all you Americans reading this that every House seat is facing elections this fall, so be sure to go vote for who you think deserves your support

  9. i know exactly why... on National Security Cuts Into NASA's Plutonium · · Score: 2, Funny

    but then I would have to kill you...
    So please just sign on the line below and we'll be set...

  10. and this just in... on AMD's 64-Bit Chip · · Score: 1

    ...it'll be about a year past the release date of these chips that I may be able to afford to upgrade what I need to use them with all their 'Greatness'(tm) . Witnesses on scene reported that two years might be a better estimate...

  11. the fun part is... on How Italian Police Shut Down U.S. Web Servers · · Score: 1

    what i enjoy is how non (north) americans push this, then get all pissed off when (north) americans don't care about them trying to upset (north) americans.

  12. great... on Super-small Voice-controlled Wireless Phone · · Score: 1

    Super-small Voice-controlled Wireless Phone

    now I'm going to need my Super-large(tm) microscope to press the buttons or tweak the insides...

  13. bad mix... on Campzone 2: The Return · · Score: 2, Funny

    the main focus of the event is multiplayer gaming, but there will also be other activities, such as paintball

    mixing huge lan parties with paintball... just imagine after slaughtering people in Quake they all come after you and unload with paintballs, ooo the pain... then again, great way to deal with the cheaters...

  14. wrong army... on The Internet Power Grab · · Score: 1

    The Internet army, which is enormous, hasn't been engaged or conscripted.

    I think he has it wrong, there necessarily is no internet army, being that an army is a hostile force of a centralized means (vowing to a government, revolution, etc...). the beauty of the internet in general terms is that no 'army' (corporate or not) could really revolt or take over, people would just route thru alternate servers and/or drop some cable and use their own computer, creating there own 'country' when others are 'neutralized'. Kind of like HavenCo...

  15. /.'ed on Panicking In Morse Code · · Score: 1

    Down already...
    Quickly! Someone translate the blinking lights on the box and post the story for us!!!

  16. its meant to be... on Traffic Shaping on DSL? · · Score: 1

  17. my grave... on Video Game Advertising Reaches New Lows · · Score: 1

    No one has yet to volunteer and the firm said payments would be calculated with regard to the exposure potential of any particular headstone.

    in my will I'll request the largest damn headstone next to Samuel L. Jackson's BMF headstone

  18. Re:Who's really being low here? on Video Game Advertising Reaches New Lows · · Score: 1

    If it were against my wishes, and my family did it anyway, I'd be mad

    and I'm sure they would be worried about a mad corpse

  19. money... on MIT Technology Review on Where Orwell Went Wrong · · Score: 1

    This makes a for good PR when you have government funding, and I'm sure if I posted as Anonymous Coward would really help, right MIT?

  20. first step.. on The Age of Aggressive Linux Advocacy Is Upon Us? · · Score: 1

    something that neededs to be aggressivly addressed with the (U.S.) government is the fact that Microsoft has been convicted of being an illegal monopoly and that the government should at least move away from doing business with a monopoly and diversifiying the competition with other OS's (Mac OS, *Nix, etc...), their choice, just not that of an illegal monopoly.

  21. Re:Whats funny on Moxi Functions In Charter Set-top Box Next Year · · Score: 1

    its all just to make it appear like there won't be a microsoft monopoly
