  1. What's Next?! on Mixing the Unmixable · · Score: 2, Funny

    Cats and dogs living togther?!

  2. CowboyNeal's Mom: CowboyNeal Was An Accident on Larry Page: Google Was an Accident · · Score: 1

    "Ars Technica is reporting that CowboyNeal's mother has admitted that the CowboyNeal wasn't originally intended to be born at all. "It wasn't that we intended to build a baby. We were just experimenting in the bedroom one night."

    (Sorry, obligatory CowboyNeal joke. Don't hate me.)

  3. LCARS Panel on Keyboard Layouts for the 21st Century? · · Score: 2, Funny
    Oh, and when the system crashes, the keyboard has to keep the buttons visible but make the backlight flicker. That would add the final touch of authenticity to it...

    No, the final touch of authenticity would be having it explode in your face when you take damage in a game.

    I never did figure out why the Enterprise's workstations were built of explosive material...

  4. Movie Based on This on War Hero Thwarted Nazi Heavy Water Production · · Score: 2, Informative

    A few months ago I saw an old movie based on this exact story. It wasn't a documentry, and it was actually very good. Full of action and suspense, but without all that Hollywood junk.

    I can't remember what it was called, but it was on Canada's "History Television" cable channel.

  5. Re:Sony on Lust After The Sony Clie NZ90 · · Score: 1
    I have a digital camera which use SD cards, if I want to use the PDA to view the pictures in the card, I need a PDA that can read SD cards.

    I have a digital camera that uses SmartMedia cards, therefore your SD-reading PDA wouldn't exactly work for me. It's kind of hard to fit all the card readers into one small device.

    You can't make everyone happy, but Sony cameras use Memory Sticks, so they're trying to make those people happy.

  6. Re:upright wheelchair on My Segway HT "Month-iversary" · · Score: 2

    Winter will do GREAT wonders for that Segway battery. I don't think its gyroscopes compensate for ice, either.

  7. Re:Doom Anyone? on Top Ten Most Collectible Video Games · · Score: 2

    That's because they distributed something like 50 million of them.

    I had a box FULL of those.

  8. Re:Not quite a monopoly, in the strictest sense on Bell Canada Turns Payphones into Public Hotspots · · Score: 2
    Rogers and Telus aren't the only alternative cellphone companies. I've been a happy subscriver to Fido for the past four years.

    Sure, they may not have an incredibly large coverage range, but they cover all the areas I tend to be in, and I can roam anywhere in the US.

  9. Re:That makes sense on Linux Used To Make "Star Trek, Nemesis" · · Score: 2

    Thief. And I'd only care to ask your sister if she was hot :p

  10. jazz.ca on Ipsos-Reid: More Americans Downloading Music · · Score: 2
    listen to jazz fm [www.jazz.dv] broadcast from Toronto a lot (also available on webcast)

    I don't mean to be rude, but how exactly did you transmogrify jazz.ca into jazz.dv?

    I hate that station, alot, but I felt it necessary to fix the link :P

  11. Re:That makes sense on Linux Used To Make "Star Trek, Nemesis" · · Score: 2

    Since 99.9% of the population doesn't have access to preview screenings, how in the world is anyone supposed to know you've been to one?

  12. Re:That makes sense on Linux Used To Make "Star Trek, Nemesis" · · Score: 2
    At this time, the story for Nemesis is a piss-poor story.

    Actually, the real joke is that Nemesis isn't even in theatres yet, and you're already saying it's piss-poor.

    Save your judgement until after it has received wide release.

  13. Re:That makes sense on Linux Used To Make "Star Trek, Nemesis" · · Score: 2

    Yes, seeing as some of the greatest movies of all time were written on a typewriter, I don't imagine word processing on a 286 would be so bad...

  14. Re:Portable mp3's? on LaCie Releases 500GB Add On Drives · · Score: 2
    I'm pretty sure the target for these isn't billy hardcores mp3 collection, or filthy mcnasties porn jamboree

    Hey! Don't insult Philty McNasty! He's a perfectly upstanding member of my community! I watch wrestling at his place all the time...

  15. Re:IN SOVIET RUSSIA on Ogg/Vorbis on Palm OS · · Score: 2

    Not so, it seems they're following RMS' gay routine in calling it Ogg/Vorbis.

  16. Re:Upgraded to Linux on Please Don't Ask Me About Windows On Christmas · · Score: 3, Interesting

    There's something called "productivity", and it's called "turning the computer on and doing what I need to without fidgeting around with stuff".

    That feature also comes on the Mac platform.

    As for BSOD, yes, I got that twice a day on Win98, but only twice in a year and a half on WinXP.

    I installed Linux, once, and I didn't find much use for it other than dicking around and exploring stuff.

  17. Re:Upgraded to Linux on Please Don't Ask Me About Windows On Christmas · · Score: 0, Troll

    Upgraded to Linux?

    Sorry, I thought by upgrade you meant "more functionality" or "easier to use"...

  18. Re:Slashdotted already! on Ellen Feiss Interview · · Score: 3, Insightful
    "I lost like three pages of it; it was terrible. It was a really, really good paper.

    Something tells me her teacher didn't buy the excuse, and she's obsessing over it...

  19. Goddamn SWOOSHES! on Altavista Renewed · · Score: 2, Offtopic

    AltaVista's Marketing Committee:

    "Gee, we need a new logo so people know we've changed."

    "Hey, let's get rid of that nice mountain range, the works with the 'high view' meaning of our name, and give it SWOOSHES!"

    "Great! Every other company has swooshes in their logos, so they must work!"

    ARGH!!!

    Am I the ONLY person who's sick and tired of all these goddamn swoosh logos?

  20. 2600 on New Nokia Phones With Full Color And MMS · · Score: 2

    Ya, then just wait till they release the Nokia 2600. I'm sure that will be all the rage.

  21. Batteries on Beware the Haunted Cordless keyboard · · Score: 2

    That, and the bloody batteries won't run out in the middle of a very important task...

  22. Re:you're a retard on Symbian Signs on Samsung · · Score: 3, Funny
    Imagine a Beowolf cluster of Sybians!!

    Now THAT I'd pay to see!

  23. Ellen Error on Gnarly Error Messages · · Score: 3, Informative

    This page in particular has the forbearer error to Ellen Feiss:
    http://www.mixed-up.com/markb/humor/mpc.ht ml

    "Huh ?"

  24. Re:I feel guilty on Smallest Possible ELF Executable? · · Score: 3, Funny

    Don't feel so bad, you could alays fill it up with porn. That's why they keep boosting the capacity.

  25. Rare, Fluke on Microsoft Buys Rare · · Score: 1

    There's a trucking company up here in Canada called Fluke, and their slogan is, and I'm not making this up, "If it's on time, it's a Fluke."

    It's absolutely brilliant.
