  1. Re:Oh no! on AppleBerry Predicted? · · Score: 5, Funny

    Certainly 'AppleBerry' is too fruity,
    but maybe something like iDingle would be appropriate.

  2. Language Selection Screen on PC-BSD 1.1 Screenshot Tour · · Score: 1

    This is nitpicky, but...
    The language selection screen uses an image
    of a malformed American flag over a German flag?

    Seems a globe or something would make more sense.
    Or at least use a cool looking flag like Brazil or Nepal.

    ... throw your food at him, or just slap him across the chops and call him a fascist asshole.

    After my last visit to NYC, I would say this is SOP.

  4. Urinal game? on Top 10 Strangest Gadgets of the Future · · Score: 3, Funny

    When you lose, I guess it would be too embarrassing to complain about the 'controller' being the problem.

    I think you are being irrational.

    That's a case where you really don't want to fork the kernel!

  7. Re:electronic dependence on Ship Logs Suggest Upcoming Polar Reversal · · Score: 5, Funny
    ...affect us more as we are highly dependent on electricity

    It won't affect my stereo because I'm using Monster
    brand cables with a special anti polar reversal coating.
    The extended warranty I was sold should keep it
    functional for the 2000 years it takes to complete the process.

    Man, Best Buy rocks!

    He's just tired of the car/OS analogy and
    decided to introduce the bodily function/OS analogy.

    It's a wooden stick with the words "Not enough" imprinted on it.

    You use your penis to test coffee?

    That sounds like a Monica Lewinsky quote.

    Hand modified "rev b" boards...

    I used a Texas Instruments PC (similar but not compatible with IBM PC).
    It had a disk controller board that had to go
    to double character revision markings and *still*
    had an unholy rat's nest of wires. The motherboard
    was not much better.

    ...use the highest quality bits

    I bought a box of 'Great Quality' bits from Fry's.
    It only contained zeros, but they price was great!

    ... a theory that also applies to Microsoft development and prostitution.

  20. It can be if they want on Is the Physical CD Still A Viable Market? · · Score: 1

    Cheap, plentiful players for a format that consumers are familiar with.

    If some label gets smart before CDs become totally supplanted by downloads, they can easily sell $5 CDs *without* any DRM crap. Then hype the convenience of a source of known quality you can rip and use any way you want.

    It makes me think of satellite vs cable. Cable sucks, but not having it drop out in heavy rain is a read convenience.

  21. Re:Space heater on Supermicro Announces Quad-Opteron 1U Motherboard · · Score: 1
    1000W seems a little high

    Hitting the 1000W mark allows them to use cool
    new terms like '1KW'. It sounds more hip than 1000W.
    Just like chip technologies, where 130nm sounds cooler
    than .13 micron.

    And what is with this term 'bubbler'? In my day we
    called it a bong. First time I heard this I expressed dismay,
    but the young people just laughed.

    Kids today! If it wasn't holding up my onions,
    I would use my belt to smack some sense into them.

    Yes, but hopefully after the new Battlestar Galactica series finishes.
    Then I can pass in peace.
