  1. Re:Early Post on Aussie Uni Dumps Dual-Boot In Favor of Linux · · Score: 1

    "Funny to think that if you had back all the time you spent tweaking and patching... you wouldn't know what to do with the workstation on your desk."

    `rpm -Uvh kernel-2.4.18-3.i686.rpm`

    Ohh. Shiver me timbers!

    I'd sooner that then spend all day fighting worms, dancing paperclips, spyware and secret coded blue messages.

    If only the networking was reliable, we'd get it the office and boot it up a lunch for a multiplayer game.

    Sure, you can put balloons up there, but there are factors such as weather, acts of God...

  3. Great! on Keeping An Eye On Total Information Awareness · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    So... when is the government going to declare the MS paperclip a terrorist?

  4. Re:Funny, but kinda tangential to the point on Keeping An Eye On Total Information Awareness · · Score: 3, Insightful

    What qualifies "future criminals"? I mean if you know they're going to be criminals soon... why not just go out and get 'em.

    And remember, shoot first, ask later!

  5. Re:Isn't it aeroplane on More On Airplanes And Internet · · Score: 1

    Ya, my first trip to Wellinton was by plane. I think I was the only newbie on the flight, 'cause I was the only one screaming in terror each time a wing looked like it was going to tear through the runway.

    The next two times have been by car!

  6. Re:Who's on First? on Kiwi Flight Before the Wright Brothers? · · Score: 1

    When did New Zealand become an independent country? What is a New Zealander? What does flight mean, what is a 'flying machine'?

    Oh dear.

    New Zealand is part of the Commonwealth if you didn't know, but I think I missed the relevance on that one.

    A balloon isn't a machine... because it's a balloon.

    I'll leave you to figure out what flight is.

    Now goto bed you!

    =)

    No, it's "Flying Machine"!

    And with Air New Zeland falling to bits in the sky, it's barely that! =)

  8. Hrm on More On Airplanes And Internet · · Score: 5, Funny

    I wonder if streaming porn all the way to Vegas will take the fun out of it once you're there.

    I think you're missing the point completely. It has nothing to do with Christmas, when Americans celebrate their Independence, Da Vinci's plans for flight or the best way to roll a joint in the rain.

    The article opens with "Was New Zealander first in flying machine?".

    There is nothing subjective about the question.

    And if it were true.. I don't think anyone is going to ask you to forget the Write Bros or discount their achievements. Hell make a movie out of it staring Markey Mark and Dennis Rodman.

  10. Re:Who's on First? on Kiwi Flight Before the Wright Brothers? · · Score: 1

    Surely Americans don't REALLY believe the Ford Model T to be the first car? Well... there were horsey cars. Duh.

  11. Re:George Cayley on Kiwi Flight Before the Wright Brothers? · · Score: 1

    The title of the article is "Was New Zealander first in flying machine?". Flapping your hands like a bird doesn't make you a machine.

    Well hey... give it a try.

    Ah.. not even half as fantastic as a good old fasioned Tesla Trooper.

  13. Re:Where is First? on Kiwi Flight Before the Wright Brothers? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Urmm... maybe it's just me, but there is a big difference between Americans celebrating French holidays and spoofing facts in your children's history books.

    And if you don't think you celebrate the Chinese new year, you've obviously not spent any time in San Fransisco or Manhattan... for a start.
