  1. What is the diffrence between... on Shocker: Despicable Conduct From Disney · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    What is the difference between God and a Lawyer?
    God doesn't think he is a lawyer.

    What do you call 100 lawyers dead at the bottom of a lake?
    A good start.

    How can you get 3 lawyers to wallpaper a room?
    Slice them VERY thinly.

  2. Copyright on FatWallet Strikes Back Using DMCA · · Score: 3, Funny

    To be quite honest the absolute absurdity of the DMCA and it's application leave me completely astonished. Now if we could only copyright the usage of written or typed glyphs whereby grouped to represent phonemes. Hmmmm...

  3. Robot as ferengi on Will Smith as I, Robot · · Score: 2, Funny

    Wouldnt it be great if instead of the Laws of robotics they programmed robots with the rules of aquisition?

    Oh wait.. that's Hollywood isn't it?

  4. Albert on Einstein Unveiled · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Ad hominem arguments never explain the 'how' of physicists just the 'who'. Still Einstein was a facinating man, but just as fascinating was Richard Feinman. I suggest reading about Feinman as well.

  5. Through the looking glass on Win2k Cheaper than Linux · · Score: 1

    There are lies, damned lies and statistics. In this case the statistics dont point out so MANY facts with so many so called 'corellations' that dont corellate.

    Damned statistics. This article is just another piece of FUD. It is misinformative.

  6. Zion's Friction on What Makes Great Science Fiction? · · Score: 1

    Heinlein Heinlein Heinlein....

  7. Why dont we just call it ALL windows... on MS Asking Makers of 'Windows' Software To Rename · · Score: 5, Funny

    The problem is that the word 'Windows' can be used for those transparent panes of glass. I suggest we rename them to "Gates Holes" as in The microsoft building has HUGE Gates Holes.

    Joel "Windows" West

  8. Hockey ... on Face Transplants On The Way · · Score: 1

    Look in the corner... its a face off!!!!!

  9. The Israeli Way on Hospital Brought Down by Networking Glitch · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    This is the way of the israeli -- if it is broken, paint it. israel is very much a machar - read manyana - society. Things will be done tomorrow and tomorrow never comes.

  10. Great for windows users ... but on Universal Music Group's New Music Sharing Service · · Score: 2

    Sounds great for windows users...

    I use Linux on all my boxen. No MAC user will be able to use this either as it requires DRM stuff.

    Of course as they say.. if you are not part of the solution you are part of the problem.

  11. Big Books on Internet Site Security · · Score: 1

    Personally I am sick of big bigs. I am starting to suffer from manualitis. Id rather get a book that is shorter and comprehensive and readable than a tome that covers ALL the scenarios.

  12. Re:rushed announcement on LinuxBIOS Boots Linux, OpenBSD, Windows · · Score: 2, Funny

    Waaaaa !!! Waaaaaa!!! It's easy to complain and call things names. It's MUCH harder to be constructive.

    Poor baby!

  13. Oxygen on New Patent for Serving Ads to Newspaper Sites · · Score: 1

    I have the patent for brachiating oxygen. Stop BREATHING now.

  14. Now PNG on Suddenly a JPEG Patent and Licensing Fee · · Score: 1

    Now is the time to use free software like PNG. Let whomever liscence what they want. Ill just use PNG from now on.

  15. Love --- on Kathleen Fent Read This Story · · Score: 1

    May you both live as long as you wish and love as long as you live.
