  1. Re:And for software engineers? on Design Software Giants Target the Unemployed · · Score: 1

    ...agree to pay an exit fee at the end of the program.

    Isn't that how deals with the devil always work?

    If the commute is anything like Austin, you won't get above 26mph anyways.

  3. Re:Why? on MediaDefender Buys MediaSentry For $136,000 (Not $20M) · · Score: 2, Informative

    They have tight security at most court houses to prevent things like this. Find the identities of the RIAA lawyers before the court date, stalk them to their homes, and then 'deal' with them (and their pets). The insanity and paranoia caused by the case could be a defense.

    There is, but like a neutrino it's difficult to detect.

    It's also the sound a horny Ewok makes.
    Maybe the original poster is a Star Wars geek with sexual issues.
    Of course, I doubt the Queen wants her leg humped by an Ewok.

  7. Grow some balls NASA... on NASA In Colbert Conundrum Over Space Station · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Flush an effigy of Colbert out the air lock of the ISS and broadcast the event live.

  9. Graphics? on Mac Tax, Dell Tax, HP Tax · · Score: 1

    So a NVIDIA Quadro FX 2700M is the nearest he could get to a 9600M GT on the Dell site?

    "I didn't want anyone to be able to accuse me of rigging my research, consciously or unconsciously, to make Apple look good."

    Sorry, that's exactly the way it looks to me.

  10. Re:Not stupid at all! on Cold War Standoff Over ISS Toilet · · Score: 3, Funny

    I was thinking you could poop in a plastic bag and throw it outside. However, a frozen turd traveling at over 7km/s might pose a serious hazard.

  11. Re:You can't. on How Do I Make My Netbook More Manly? · · Score: 1

    Yes, it really irritates me when the book is not faithful to the movie.

  12. Re:You can't. on How Do I Make My Netbook More Manly? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Your list of netbook features reminds me of the machine Paul Atreides used for combat training.
    Even if your netbook is lacking in manly stature, mentioning the above reference will tell her what kind of guy you really are.

  13. Re:not-so-good? on Mixed Outcome of Texas Textbook Vote · · Score: 3, Funny

    The monarchy is hardly in the same league as fanatical Christianity.

    They both have really cool hats.

    ahhh... AHHH... EARRRGH... *pop*

    That was the family version. The Indiana Jones version involves flying skull shards and globs of pulpy brain goo.

  16. Re:An audible keyboard is like audible links on Old-School Keyboard Makes Comeback of Sorts · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I have to agree with you. I still have one at work... collecting dust. It got too annoying even for a seldom used legacy system and was replaced. Huge, clunky, noisy.

    Some people enjoy the sound of vinyl and tubes over CDs and transistors. Some people enjoy the sound of a metal hammer on a mechanical typewriter. More power to them, but I think the hype over this antique is more than a little overblown. You would think God himself typed the 10 commandments on one.

    I think you have identified a fundamental truth.

    Looks like an extended Apple commercial. Blech.

    Nobody is saying they should have foreseen the unknown unknowns, but certainly the known unknowns merited action.

    Followed by run length encoding of the remaining ones.

  21. Re:So when... on id Releases Open Source Wolfenstein 3D for the iPhone · · Score: 5, Funny

    Just install the PETArometer app on your iPhone. When a PETA member sneaks up on you, the iPhone emits the 'Call of the Flower Children'. You can then strangle the dirty hippie with your baby seal skin scarf.

    "All the better to eat your face and hands off with my dear!"

    Yes, chimps are dirty, vicious, murdering animals who will eat your face and hands.
    Now with GPS!

    I'm always amazed that so many people miss that. When I explain it to others, they are genuinely surprised. +1 informative.

  24. Re:Cue the following: on Texas Vote May Challenge Teaching of Evolution · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Texas Governor Rick Perry, who supports teaching Intelligent Design...

    I call him Governor Hairdo. I doubt he truly believes in anything more than enriching himself and some select cronies with shady state deals and questionable appointments, the religious pretext seems to be pandering to get reelected. Apart from that, the guy is an empty suit.

  25. Honorable Way Out for NASA on Colbert Wins Space Station Name Contest · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Name it something else, but hang a signed picture of Colbert in the module. The fans are satisfied, a reasonable name can be applied, and Colbert gets a talking point for a show.

    But please, for the love of God, no dancing! Colbert dancing with that freaky grin always creeps me out.
