  1. Hey, I liked it. on Statler And Waldorf From the Balcony · · Score: 1
    Of course, I'm easily amused, which explains why I enjoyed War of the Worlds.

    An aside..

    Their rating of WotW was falling asleep in the beginning to be awoken by the massive explosions.

    Went to see this with my dad, who actually did fall asleep during the beginning of the movie. And the explosions didn't even wake him up, I had to poke him awake.

  2. Blame Microsoft! on Innovation Getting Slower? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Lack of innovation has always been their trademark.

  3. Re:Gamers never know what's good for them on A Gamer's Manifesto · · Score: 1

    Simple answer. Use save points, but have them right before boss battles.

  4. Re:one of the best on Spielberg & Lucas Approve Indy 4 Script · · Score: 1
    They should replace Ford like they replaced him on Sum of All Fears. With Affleck. With Kevin Smith directing it, who wouldn't want to see it.

    2 hours of Indiana Jones talking about Star Wars, Jaws, comic books, and dick and fart jokes??

    Jay: Dude, throw me the bong, I'll throw you the whip.
    Silent Bob gestures.
    Jay: Oh yeah, and youz has to suck both of us.
    Silent Bob slaps.
    Jay: Ok, tubby here will suck you while you suck me.
    Silent Bob slaps again.
    Indy jumps into pit and ends it all.

  5. Re:Reduce expenses by cutting executive salaries? on IBM Europe Workers Strike · · Score: 1, Interesting

    And I'm sure cutting benefits, pensions, research and development, and giving everybody a 25% pay cut could have saved millions too. Just because it makes the numbers look good doesn't make it a good idea.

  6. 10th Amendment on Real-ID Passes U.S. Senate 100-0 · · Score: 4, Insightful
    The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people.

    A national ID is not delegated to the federal government by the Constitution. Therefore, any authority to issue official IDs falls to the states. Granted, this hasn't stopped the federal government from taking over education, hate speech legislation, search and seizure, etc. And will the Supreme Court rule on the side of the Constitution? They haven't in recent years, why should they now?

  7. Re:Before anyone brings it up... on Batman Begins Trailer Released · · Score: 1
    All I want to see before I die is Jim Belushi as Reid Fleming, standing on top of the milk truck screaming down the street.

    "78 cents or I piss on your flowers!"

    Reid Fleming vs Milkman Dan!

    And it'll be the last time we get a nice view of Katie before Tom $cientologizes her and forces her to sit through marathon sessions of Battlefield Earth and dancing on Hollywood Blvd.

  9. Re:I wonder... on Site for Moon Base Determined · · Score: 1

    Well, whenever we actually get the base built, I guarantee there will already be three Starbucks, a gas station, 2 24-hr drug stores, a McDonalds, 2 pawn shops, a tattoo parlor, and a cell phone outlet.

  10. Good riddance to bad TV on Paramount Says Enterprise Cancellation Is Final · · Score: 4, Funny

    One down, reality shows, Friends reruns and 60 Minutes to go.

  11. Just use cheap keyboards and mice on Keyboards are Havens for Super Bugs · · Score: 1

    Clean them with bleach or germicide, replace when no longer functional.

  12. Re:This is great news for small businesses on Midsize Businesses Not Considering Linux? · · Score: 1

    My point exactly. And when the small businesses start competing against the larger ones, that's an exploitable advantage.

  13. This is great news for small businesses on Midsize Businesses Not Considering Linux? · · Score: 2, Interesting
    Gives them that much more of an edge. Money not having to be spent on expensive support contracts, OS licenses and bloated office suites can be better spent on R&D, marketing, and free beer and hooker Fridays.

    If it wasn't for Linux, Apache, MySQL, and Perl, some of us would be hard pressed to stay in business.

  14. Re:Uh-huh on 'Geek Speak' Confuses Net Users · · Score: 1

    People still use dial-up??

  15. Re:Not virgins... on Star Wars Fans in Line... at the Wrong Theater · · Score: 1
    I miss the old days, when a quarterback could throw a pass into the back of an opposing player, and it would STILL get caught and run in for the touchdown.

  16. Well.. on Mars Rovers Get Extra 18 Months · · Score: 5, Insightful

    At least SOMETHING is getting enough funding in NASA.

  18. Re:Is this news anymore? on Microsoft Accepts Most EU Demands, But Not Over Source · · Score: 2, Funny
    When Geordie referred to the "antimatter containment units" he was referring to the kennels where puppies were forced to run on treadmills to power the ship. When the puppies died from exhaustion they were liquefied and fed intravenously to the rest of the puppies.

    So, when they have a containment breach in the warp core, that means...

    Nevermind, I DON'T want to know. But it does explain so much about Star Trek (Wesley, Kirk's thing for alien chicks, Troi's sweater puppies).

  19. Re:Signs? on Gates' Resolve in Bringing Spammers to Justice · · Score: 3, Funny
    Accept the fact that they really can do good things and shut with the Microsoft bashing.

    But.... what will we talk about then?? Star Wars isn't out yet, and Linus can't release a new kernel every few hours. We NEED MS bashing to keep our over-active/over-worked minds finely-tuned.

  20. Re:Lawsuits, the last refuge of the incompetent on Gates' Resolve in Bringing Spammers to Justice · · Score: 3, Insightful
    But, this is /., we have to blame MS for it, regardless if they actually have any responsibility.

    Do notice that MS isn't suing virus writers. In fact, didn't they just forgive a huge amount against a virus writer in exchange of community service??

  21. Re:What defines art? No, it's 'WHO' defines art on A Different Way To Recycle Old PCs · · Score: 1

    So, something can only be defined as art by the person doing the defining, and that definition may or may not agree with another's definition. So, if something can have multiple definitions, does it in fact have no definition at all? And this is why I avoided all the art classes I could and just took more science classes.

  22. The reason computer techs are unqualified amateurs on BBC Writer Tries PC Repair, Finds Poor Software · · Score: 5, Insightful

    If they knew what they were doing, they wouldn't be wasting their time cleaning spyware off grandma's machine for $12/hr.

    IIRC, Humma Kavula is a/the leader of the Church of The Great Green Arkleseizure (sp?), which has been expanded from a one-line joke to a significant sub-plot.
