  1. Re:What's the Difference Between a Computer Salesm on Bad PC Sales Staff Exposed · · Score: 1

    "...he'll come home with a Cisco switch and an APC rackmount battery backup."

    Sounds like dad is the alpha geek of the family.

  2. Re:huh? on Has the Glory Gone Out of Working In IT? · · Score: 1

    "...kill 2 birds with one stone"

    If the birds are grackles, then that *does* sound like fun.
    I doubt you will be paid for it though.

  3. Re:Raw food on Cooking May Have Made Us Human · · Score: 4, Insightful

    "There are levels in between raw and burnt."

    Raw, Warm and Bloody, Medium, Denny's, Burnt

  4. Re:Motorcycle? on New Motorcycle World Speed Record, 367.382 mph · · Score: 1

    A motor vehicle invisible to a lane changing SUV.

  5. Re:Why do we sleep? on Alzheimer's Disease Possibly Linked To Sleep Deprivation · · Score: 1

    Healthy old folks are directly beneficial to social groups.

    Unless they talk about:
    "withered flesh... sagging breasts... and flabby b-b-buttocks..."

  6. Re:News? Where? on New York Times Site Pop-Up Says Your Computer Is Infected · · Score: 1

    "livinginalternatereality"

    All the better to observe the reactionary in its native habitat ;-).
    Crikey! Observe the fear induced display of President Obama as Hitler!

    Fox is great, but Limbaugh *really* gets to the teabaggery of it all.

  8. Re:How do you get these internships? on Microsoft Interns Still Feel the Love · · Score: 2, Funny

    Big lips and a slack jaw.

    Whatever you thing of Microsoft or the effectiveness their intern program I'm certain these potential employees are not only overachievers, but are probably photogenic as well. I don't see any comfort in deluding yourself otherwise.

    Your description would probably come in handy for a hooker though.

  9. Re:At least... on Russia's New Official Holiday — Programmer's Day · · Score: 1

    Original post: "Obama's Day of Service to our Government masters"

    Obama's speech: "...ordinary goodness of America to serve our communities"

    That sums up the "debate" offered by neocons on any subject these days:
    Accuse someone of saying the exact opposite of what they did say.
    Teabaggers Ho!

  10. Re:Seriously, don't taze me. on A Tour of Taser HQ · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Be a man and not an animal: buy a gun, plan an ambush, and them shoot them in the face.

  11. Re:Merketing trumps reason again... ;) on AMD's DX11 Radeons Can Drive Six 30 Displays · · Score: 5, Funny

    When your computer is possessed by Satan, you point at the screen and say:
    "Look at that bezel bub!"

  12. Re:Merketing trumps reason again... ;) on AMD's DX11 Radeons Can Drive Six 30 Displays · · Score: 2, Insightful

    ...fun in having six 1080p projectors lighting up

    How about 6 projectors pointing in different directions running Milk Drop 2 visualizations of Pink Floyd.

  13. Re:You insensitive clods! on Teenager Invents Cheap Solar Panel From Human Hair · · Score: 1

    If your just bald, then you should still be able to spare a few pubes for Mother Gaia. If you are one of the few with no hair at all, then Richard Stallman should be willing to make a donation.

  14. Re:Update on China Considering Cuts In Rare-Earth Metal Exports · · Score: 2, Funny

    ...trail of 300,000,000 corpses

    The grizzly bears, wolves, and cougars would be well fed.

  15. Re:20500 on Why Anonymized Data Isn't · · Score: 1

    That sounds like a setup for a joke:
    Bill Clinton, Marion Barry, and Scooter Libby walk into a bar...

  16. Re:Grrr... on US Nuclear Power Industry Poised For a Comeback · · Score: 1

    Modern nuclear plants would be like driving an AWD vehicle with ABS and stability control.

    There's still the danger of operators who drink or text while driving. Think Valdez and Hazelwood.
    I'm 100% for nuclear power, just pointing out that human stupidity can still trump technology.

  17. Re:Better Title: on HR 3200 Considered As Software · · Score: 1

    Ignorance of the source code is no excuse.

    My God! You've found a companion phrase for RTFM!

  18. Re:If only... on Copyright Troubles For Sony · · Score: 1

    I guess you've never dealt with Mexican police then.

    I'll bet Sony has, that's probably who the music execs buy their blow from. I doubt either party would want to end that business arrangement.

  19. Re:Something needs to be done as today's system is on HR 3200 Considered As Software · · Score: 1

    The answer is that the majority of Americans are ignorant of and uninterested in the details of health care delivery. That makes it easy for insurance companies to mount campaigns of lies to paralyze the majority with fear of any change from the current dysfunctional and excessively expensive system.

    I would guess that there are also many Europeans who are equally uninterested in the details of health care delivery, but since you already have a working system that is less of a problem.

  20. Re:Perhaps not an AK47 on Police Swarm Bungie Office Over Halo Replica Rifle · · Score: 1

    Maybe the person said AK-47 because they thought the police would be confused by "it looks like a BFG-9000".

  21. Re:Scientology is a dangerous cult on Church of Scientology Proposes Net Censorship In Australia · · Score: 1

    Nice summary! It would sound cooler if you had to eat the Jewish Zombie's brainzzzz (symbolized by stewed tomatoes in church), but the original will have to do as you can't just go around making things up.

  22. Re:Control Card? on Running Old Desktops Headless? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    That's a reasonable suggestion.

    If he truly needs a light weight, always on server then a new mini is a good idea. Modern, low power with a built in console. He can get just as much technical fun from setup and tweaking. If he is so impoverished he can't afford the $200-$300 then he probably does not need to be upgrading the old box and running it around the clock.

    Personally, I've lost fascination with dinking around with old hardware. If I have a specific solution to implement or new skill to learn, I prefer a more forward looking approach with things that are new.

  23. Re:Do we bring our own virii? on Steve Ballmer Directing "House Party 7" · · Score: 1

    ...pedmata?

    I think that's the plural of Catholic Priest.

  24. Re:Huh? on Slow Oracle Merger Leads To Outflow of Sun Projects, Coders · · Score: 3, Funny

    That wouldn't end a sun box

    It will if the Sun box is running Linux :D

    But my post would have been funnier with the Solaris syntax. For my oversight I should be spanked by Jen from The IT Crowd.
