  1. Re:How massive? on Asteroid Belt Discovered Around Our Sun's "Twin" · · Score: 2, Informative

    "It is thicker than the asteroid belt in our own solar system, which lies between Mars and Jupiter and packs nearly 25 times more debris."

  2. None Subscriber? on AOL and XM Joining Forces for Online Radio · · Score: 2, Funny
    ... for none subscribers.
    I think the poster meant 'for nun subscribers', as once again AOL shows it's willing to bend over backwards for the Catholic church.
  3. Re:Why should they? on Sun Submits New License for Open Source Approval · · Score: 5, Funny
    And why should they? It's their family jewels...

    Man, I sure hope you meant crown jewels ....

  4. Re:Intent on Novell Pulls Out Their Ace Against SCO · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Actually, intent is very important in this case, since SCO is alleging that Novell acted with malice in claiming it still owned the copyrights. If Novell's board of directors understood the agreement as leaving the copyrights with Novell, it is much more difficult for SCO to claim malice.

  5. Re:20 servers for only 100,000 messages? on University Capitulates, Switches Off Spam Filters · · Score: 4, Insightful

    er, let's see ... 10,000 messages per hour, across 20 boxes ... that's what, 500 messages per hour, per box? I'd think pretty much *any* computer worthy of the name could swing that.

  6. Re:This is new? on Build Your Own Monowheel · · Score: 2, Informative

    Uh, I don't think you understand the concept of 'monowheel' ... It means 'one wheel', so it doesn't matter if there's an axle or not.

    It's from the Greek, 'mono' meaning 'one wheel', and 'wheel' meaning 'duh' ;-).

  7. Re:well.... on OED Science Fiction Database Updated · · Score: 5, Funny

    Yah, and I don't think I'd qualify "persay" as a word, per se.

  8. Re:perhaps its also a quality thing on The Effect of Pirated CDs · · Score: 5, Funny

    George Plimpton's Parliament? That man doesn't have a funky bone in his body. I think you mean George Clinton ...

  9. Re:It's a clich� on Redirecting NASA · · Score: 1

    OK, so you're a Rocket Scientist, run a dot com, and a lawyer? Man, I bet you have a ton of student loans ...

  10. How thoughtful ... on Stealware: Kazaa et al Stealing Link Commissions · · Score: 1
    The software, he said, provides services to users and money to each company "so it doesn't have to charge" for the currently free software and services.

    So wait, you steal money from other people so you don't have to charge me more? Well, I guess that's okay than ... sheesh
  11. Re:Microsoft wants product endorsement on Gateway Testifies To Microsoft's OEM Treatment · · Score: 1

    Well, the problem is that Britney is compensated to endorse Pepsi, and as such they can dictate what other similar endorsements she may or may not make. OEM's, however, are paying for the right to bundle Microsoft software, and as a consumer they should have the right to purchase (and then re-sell) at their discretion, not Microsoft's.
