  1. I knew it! on Sun Research Yields Unexpected Results · · Score: 1

    The sun is really a PLANET!

    The sun was always my favorite planet.
    It's like the KING of the planets!

  2. Re:The proof is not OS services on Analysis of .NET Use in Longhorn and Vista · · Score: 1

    That's not what I heard. I heard that Office and lots of other Microsoft internal development was done in WTL, because everybody knew that MFC was such an ugly hack.

  3. I am the only logical choice. on Massive Lightning Storm on Saturn · · Score: 3, Funny

    My superior Vulcan physiology will allow me to withstand lightning surges a thousand times stronger than what is found on your native world. Therefore, I am the only logical choice to investigate this phenomenon. I will fly a standard shuttlecraft into the atmosphere of Saturn, climb out on the roof while the craft is in motion, and hold aloft a Terran golf club in order to be struck by this lightning and study its effects. I have programmed the shuttlecraft to return to the starship automatically in the event that I do not survive the lighting strike.

    Please do not try to stop me. A Vulcan is always prepared to sacrifice himself for the good of the many. It is only logical. Your fragile human makeup would not even be able to withstand the atmosphere of Saturn, much less the electrical energy produced by lighting a thousand times more powerful than that found on your own small homeworld.

    There is the theory of the Moebius...

  5. Best computer book of 1987 on Amazon's Best Computer Books of 2004 · · Score: 2, Funny

    Compute!'s third book of Commodore 64 Games.

    Type in hex code like mad!
    Actually, this is the best computer book *ever*.
