  1. West of the Big Muddy on National Do Not Call List Opens for Registrations · · Score: 4, Informative

    you can also call 888.382.1222, east of the Mississippi can call the same number after 7/7/03. Don't forget to ask if they want to switch to AT&T.

  2. Re:Kids section on US Supreme Court Upholds CIPA · · Score: 1

    >> I mean, its one thing to look at breast cancer treatment sites and another to look at big-tittied-lassies.com

    Freedom of thought and freedom of speech does not stop at "big-tittied-lassies.com". If you censor only the most disgusting, morally repulsive, corrupting site on the net, you are still making a judgment about what people can say online and what they can think/research in the library.

  3. Re:They sure let Intuit off the hook easy... on NYT On Online Reputations · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I won't go back next year even if they fix *all* of their issues. If we want other e-sleezeballs to behave, we have to beat Intuit so hard that blood comes out their mouth.

  4. Re:An answer from a different perspective on Convergence of Biology and Computers? · · Score: 1

    Does anyone know of a base 4 computer that has been designed or built?

  5. Re:Seriously on Chicken Run · · Score: 1

    It's all a lie. Chickens bred for meat are actually shakled to benches on a galley and made to row back and forth across the Adriatic.

  6. Re:but it's more humane! on Chicken Run · · Score: 5, Funny

    >> New worst job: chicken masturbator

    What do they do, choke them to death?

  7. Rumen has it that Miss on Barbra Streisand, Miss Vermont, And Your Website · · Score: 1

    Vermont is a cow anyhow.

  8. Re:How about... on A Good Summer Read? · · Score: 1

    This is a great book, and an absoulutely hilarious pick for someone who has just finished school and is about to start working for a living.

  9. Who'd code on a machine with this mod? on Ant Farm PC · · Score: 1

    All your output would be buggy.

  10. Re:New Zealand on Old Hard Drives = Free Electricity · · Score: 1

    >> Simple just rub a couple of sheep together.

    You get electricty, plus more sheep.

  11. Re:How about 100% porn? on The Perfect Formula For Box Office Success · · Score: 5, Funny

    That would be 110% love/sex/romance, -5% plot, and -5% music.

    Not that I would know...

  12. Re:How can the game mirror the book? on Middle Earth MMORPG Announced · · Score: 2, Funny

    Sure, but name one other RPG where players might actually want to be a halfling.

  13. Scientific American on Digital Darwin · · Score: 1

    had a nice article about this recently (pp. 52-59 of the Feb 2003 issue). They showed evolutionary design examples primarily in the electronics field, and included an E.D. circuit that was an improvement over existing technology.

  14. Getting some starter hardware on Starting an After-School Computer Club? · · Score: 1

    >> Perhaps we can do fund-raisers to build and upgrade a computer for the club, which could be donated to the school or community?

    Write up a nice letter asking for the donation of a new or used machine. Talk about your school, describe the club, and reference the faculty advisor assigned to your group. Send it to locally based businesses and businesses with large operations in your area. Pick businesses that have or use lots of computers (asking the local paint store is a long shot). When the machines start rolling in (and I guarantee they will), make sure to send thank you notes and publicize the names of your benefactors if possible.

  15. Re:Who was the target? on Penny Arcade vs. American Greetings Revisited · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I think park of the problem is that they drew a parody of Strawberry Shortcake, and then labeled it as such. Thus the copyright holders (American Greetings) are forced to protect their trademark or risk losing it. If Penny Arcade had called their character "Strawberry Sh!tcake" in the cartoon, none of the involved parties would have a problem.

  16. Re:Zone what? on Starting a Home-Based Software Company? · · Score: 1

    >> what are these zoning restrictions exactly?

    They are laws dictating (among other things) what kind and size of business or residence you can have on a particular parcel of land. Just to give you an idea of how complicated these laws can be, in the city of Denver the zoning code is being reorganized from "over 24,000 possible" zoning combinations, to 6500.

  17. Re:Guys in games. on Genderplay in Videogames · · Score: 1

    >> Do you want a character in a FPS that's in a wheelchair too?

    That would be pretty cool actually. Think how much ammo you could carry for that .50 cal machine gun.

  18. To hell with all these on Talk It Over With Captain Crunch · · Score: 5, Interesting

    questions about the "good old days". Tell us what the future holds in store IYHO (phreaking-wise, cracking-wise, or hacking-wise, that is).

  19. Re:I've been there. on Ethics and Video Game Reviews · · Score: 1

    This reminds me of the old joke about the Easter Bunny, Santa Claus, and the ethical journalist [lawyer]. Clearly this is karma whoring, because there's no such thing as an ethical journalist.

  20. Re:Morons! on Top 100 Hoaxes of All Time · · Score: 1

    >> I am for "taxing" the really stupid. Hell, palm readers do it all the time.

    So do State Lotteries and casinos.

  21. DGP - Distributed Grilling Project on George Foreman USB iGrill · · Score: 1

    The Feed the Homeless Initiative at one organization is asking for donations of grill time. This distributed grilling project will attempt to make the world's biggest grilled cheese sandwich one small section at a time. Please help if you can!

  22. Re:Surely the entire sector doesn't rely on this on Google Tries To Silence IPO Rumours · · Score: 2, Insightful

    If they don't have enough cash or cashflow to grow the company, they should IPO to get some. A Google IPO would probably be a very cheap source of capital.

    If they have buckets of cashflow, they can pay a dividend on their private stock to increase its current worth to employees. Employees who just want to flip their private stock in the public market so they can leave the company, are probably not a long term asset for Google.

    If they have neither, then they can do nothing. Often inaction is a valid choice.

  23. Yum!... on Soldering with a Toaster Oven · · Score: 1

    Lead sintered pop-tarts. (I hope this toster isn't used for food henceforth)

  24. Hmmmmm.... on Portable Pioneer Adam Osborne dead at 64 · · Score: 1

    >> Truly an American icon

    Well, the Americans get *partial* credit for this one anyhow.
