  1. Re:I don't have a DVD player... on New DRM Scheme To Make Current DVD Players Obsolete · · Score: 4, Funny

    I'm still waiting for two features they never brought over from VHS: ...
    2. A format that will withstand the destructive force of a toddler. (Though I do applaud the DVD's resistance to heat from a car.)


    Excuse me sir, but how long do you plan on keeping this toddler?

  2. Cellphone on How Do You Make International Calls? · · Score: 1

    Canadian here. I only ever have to call the US, really.

    For that, I just use my cellphone. I get 10/min (8.5 US) Canada/US long distance on it, so I just use it because it's convenient.

    I have some family in Holland, and I'd likely just use my cellphone to call them too. (Right now I live at home, and they call here a lot.)

  3. Re:unexpected limelight? on Ubisoft CEO Speaks out Against EA Move · · Score: 2, Funny

    I would've thought geeks would be more intelligent about these things.

    You must be new here.

  4. Re:Nice department. on Dutch Fine Spammers, AOL Reports Drop in Spam · · Score: 1

    Well, he coulda spelled it "dijk", but few people would understand it.

  5. Re:Less subscribers? on Dutch Fine Spammers, AOL Reports Drop in Spam · · Score: 1

    I think some dutch expression would be more appropriate, but unfortunately my knowledge of the language doesn't span that much... :P

  6. Re:Problem with Broadband on BBC Reports 38% Jump In U.S. Broadband Use · · Score: 1

    Is it really necessary to write "Cu" instead of "copper", or do you just think it makes you look smart?

  7. Re:I can see my house from here! on 2004 MN4, Even Higher Probability · · Score: 1

    What the hell good will picking up some welshman do?

  8. Re:Glogg on Stable Linux Kernel 2.6.10 Released · · Score: 1

    Aquavit?
    Oh my GOD, don't remind me of that horrbile stuff...

  9. Laptop Smashy Bitchy on Rage Against the Machines · · Score: 3, Funny

    One of the guys at work has a fairly high-strung wife.

    She was having trouble with Windows on her nearly-new laptop, so instead of asking me to fix it, she HEAVED IT at the floor, breaking it.

    Then she went out and bought a new laptop.

    Her old laptop still functioned after the ordeal (the screen hinges were snapped, and there were massive scars on the shell), so she gave it to her husband... for his birthday.

    What a piece of work, eh?

  10. Re:Nothing for you to see here. Please move along on Next G5 Multitasks Operating Systems · · Score: 1

    Apple G5, as in an actual PowerMac G5 machine.

    Idiot.

  11. Re:The GPL/LGPL worries me.... on Revising the GPL · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    What happens when Stallman gets hit by a bus?

    I'd be more worried about the bus...

  12. Re:wow this is SLOW - translucency on Paint.NET: The Anti-GIMP? · · Score: 2, Informative

    I was playing around with this, and wondered what the hell you guys were talking about.

    The fat brush worked just fine for me.

    Then I turned off the "translucent windows" option... and the program slowed right the hell down.

    So, it's one of those odd programs that runs FASTER with the effects TURNED-ON.

  13. Re:Extract from book on Building Applications with the Linux Standard Base · · Score: 1

    Half the people in my class still thing /usr is short for 'user' and not 'unix system resources'

    Wow. You learn something every day. (Really, I just did.)

  14. Re:Apple is killing the iPod Image on More on Apple/Motorola Joint Cell Phone Venture · · Score: 1

    Or they could be bringing the iPod's image to the phone world.

    Sure, everyone's used a cellphone already... but we haven't see what Apple can pull out of their hat for the phone world yet.

  15. Re:Banned from the Internet? on What Do Court-Ordered Internet Bans Really Mean? · · Score: 4, Funny

    Or, alternately:

    "It's not the internet... it's AOL!"

  18. Re:An iPod Convert on How Sony's HD Audio Player Falls Short · · Score: 1

    "CircuitCrappy" sounds to awkward.

    May I suggest "CircuitSucky" or "SuckitCity"?

  19. "Sleek" on How Sony's HD Audio Player Falls Short · · Score: 1

    I am getting SO sick of that word. It's like the only word people can use to describe things with these days.

    Here's a suggestion:

  20. Re:Sony originality draught on How Sony's HD Audio Player Falls Short · · Score: 1

    I loved my MiniDisc Player/Recorder. The MZ-R700. It was tiny, extremely simple to use, had a pleasant design, and the discs were rugged as hell. (I carried about 10 of them around with me.)

    I stopped using it when I got an iPod... and made the mistake of loaning it to my brother.

    Now it's a malfunctioning objet d'art collecting dust on my bookshelf...

  21. Re:ukresist has some funny images about the PSP on PSP Battery Journal · · Score: 1

    OMG... when did UK Resistance come back?
    I thought they'd died LONG AGO.

  22. Re:Too Bad OO Sucks So Bad on Why OpenOffice.org? Open Document Formats · · Score: 1

    Absolutely. OO.o desperately NEEDS to find some proper interface designers.

    The problem with programmers designing interfaces is that they design them with themselves in mind.

  23. Re:There are others you know... on A Brief History of the iPod · · Score: 0, Troll

    If features the iPod is the wrong choice!

    How about unparalleled ease of use?
    Seamless integration with iTunes?

    Ohh... you're still bitter there's no iTunes for Linux or worthless Ogg support.

  24. Movie: Toys on Massive Multiplayer Gaming Warehouses On The Way · · Score: 1

    Wasn't something like this in that mediocre Robin Williams movie, Toys?

    Where the evil general takes over the toy company, and wants to turn kids into killing machines that remotely control weaponry?

  25. TLDs? Countries? on New Rules Make Domain Hijacking Easier · · Score: 0

    Does this only apply to the usual TLDs, or country codes too?
