    with fish? Oops, I'm getting ahead of myself because that comes much later in the evening.

  2. Re:tough questions on Vista Activation Cracked by Brute Force · · Score: 0

    To make matters worse, Microsoft will have to decide if it is worth it to allow people to take back legit keys that have been hijacked, or tell customers to go away, we have your money already, read your license agreement and get bent, we owe you nothing.'

    Hmmm, I wonder which way Microsoft will go on this one...

    Not to worry. Microsoft will take care of you. In fact they'll even throw in a chair.
  3. Two possible outcomes on Water Logic Gates Built at MIT · · Score: 0

    - It brings new meaning to the term 'flow chart'
    - If successful this project will open the floodgates for more like it.

  4. iDunno... on Apple, the New Microsoft? · · Score: 0

    But if they come out with the iChair then Steve Ballmer had better worry.

  5. I see audiophiles protesting on California Proposes to Ban Incandescent Lightbulbs · · Score: 0

    because compact fluorescents will create noise in their systems. Besides, fluorescent light is irritating compared to incandescent.

    If you want them to do something useful, ban TVs with picture tubes bigger than, say 17". Huge energy waste.

    Now I'll go back to listening to my vinyl records playing through my Class A tube amps while reading under incandescent light.

  6. Just make sure that if Microsoft shows up on Microsoft to Get Tough on License Dodgers · · Score: 0

    that all your chairs are bolted down to the floor.

  7. It gives a whole new meaning to on Canadian Phone Company Selling Porn · · Score: 0

    phone sex.

  8. What ever happened to 'freedom to innovate'? on Microsoft Copies Idea, Admits It, Then Patents It · · Score: 0

    That was Gates' mantra he keeps chanting.
    So, Microsoft, where's the beef?

  9. If I spin my computer on Seagate Claims 2.5" SCSI Drive is World's Fastest · · Score: 0

    If I spin my computer at 5000 RPM will my 10,000 RPM drive be able to keep up with this new drive?

  10. I'm going to wait till on Sun Is Giving Away Solaris 10 DVDs · · Score: 0

    Scott McNealy comes bundled with it.

  11. An opportunity for someone on Hans Reiser to Sell Company · · Score: 4, Funny

    to make a killing.

  12. So if Bronfman's kids are off the hook... on Warner CEO Admits His Kids Stole Music · · Score: 0

    then now we know that OJ didn't do it.

  13. Google should go nuclear... on Should Google Go Nuclear? · · Score: 0

    only when President Bush can pronounce the word correctly.

  14. I say do it sooner on A 5-Year Deal With Microsoft To Dump Novell/SUSE · · Score: 0

    Like, in 6.66 months. After all, the devil's in the details.

  15. Nonsense on Red Hat Says They'll Be In Linux Long After Novell · · Score: 0

    Red Hat is spreading FUD about Novell because of the Microsoft alliance. It will take longer than a year, but we'll see the same thing happen to Novell as has happened to other Microsoft competitors. Microsoft is in the "embrace" phase now, then comes "extend", then comes "extinguish." Novell is toast. Meanwhile Oracle will be around, as will others.

  16. MS pulling out? on Microsoft Considers Pulling Out of China · · Score: 0

    Don't they know the withdrawal method is unreliable? Hell, they could have little MS Bobs running all over China in no time if they're not careful.

  17. I'm surprised no one mentioned cryo'd razor blades on Moore's Law For Razor Blades? · · Score: 0

    They last several times as long as non-cryo'd ones. Instead of a week you see a month's use out of one cartridge. It's a dirty little secret Gillette and all the others don't want you to know about. Cryogenic treatment is a proven technology for keeping tools sharp and for treating other things like guns and golf clubs (improves accuracy) and race car engine parts (durability).

  18. I know where my money's going on Oracle to Compete With Red Hat for Linux Support · · Score: 0

    After all, where else can you get reliable Linux support AND the warm fuzzy feeling of supporting that oh-so-likeable guy, Larry Ellison?

  19. I won't be reading any mail about this on Hans Reiser Arrested On Suspicion of Murder · · Score: 0

    because it will be sent to my kill file.

  20. Sure, don't you know on Google Buys YouTube for $1.65 Billion · · Score: 2, Funny

    tubes sound better than transistors?

  21. Nice name on Microsoft Gives MVP Award to Adware Pusher · · Score: 2, Funny

    "Ed Bott". I wonder if he has a sister, Ro.

  22. The next thing you know on iPod Users Buy CDs, Shun iTunes · · Score: 0

    they'll be buying vinyl.

    Betcha thought I was gonna say "old Jed's a millionaire".

  23. Cool! on Bionic Arm Provides Hope for Amputees · · Score: 0

    I'd give my right arm for one of those!

  24. New meaning on Broadband Over Gas Lines — a Pipe Dream? · · Score: 0

    It kind of brings new meaning to "packet sniffing".

  25. Am I the only one on Xerox Reveals Transient Documents · · Score: 0

    who was reminded of Mission Impossible?
    "Your mission, Jim, should you decide to accept it, ..."
    "This tape will self destruct in five seconds."
