  1. Start Small... on The Internet Is 'Built Wrong' · · Score: 1

    How about they fix twitter before they try and fix the rest of the internet.

  2. USPTO on Da Vinci Code Author Sued · · Score: 1

    'The question the court is facing is whether you can copyright an idea, a conjecture.'

    I doubt it... but I'm sure you can patent it.

    It was liberated!

  5. Re:Occam's Razor on Gaming Communities Cause Of TV Ratings Decline? · · Score: 1

    You are correct! I watch too much tv for my own good and have noticed that the writing on many shows this season is not as good as it has been. But, its easier for the networks to blame someone else so they don't have to spend any money on talent.

  6. antelope hands on Hand-Sized Antelope Windows PC To Debut · · Score: -1, Redundant

    For a second there I began to wonder how large an antelope's hands are.

  8. shakin in their cubes on Intel Warns Asia Over Linux Plan · · Score: 1

    The only reason Intel would issue such a statement is fear. Why else would a company go out on a limb to help a possible competitor? If they can dissuade them now, then they don't have to worry about them in 10 years.

  9. one question on Ford To Move To Linux · · Score: 4, Interesting

    the biggest battle was over which Linux vendor to use - RedHat or SuSE

    So who won?

  10. nothing new on Movie Industry Blames Texting for Bad Box Office · · Score: 1

    But those days are over, because the technology of hand-held text-message devices has drastically cut down the time it takes for movie-goers to tell their friends that a heavily promoted summer action movie is a waste of time and money."

    yeah, cause it takes forever to discuss a movie over the phone.

  11. cost on 3D "Crystal Ball" Monitors · · Score: 1

    Anyone look at the price? This thing is a steal at only: US$39,995 plus installation

    Forget about that new car...i'm getting a crystal ball.

  12. What's on your mind? on Stash Your Hard Drive In The Attic · · Score: 2, Informative

    Yeah, but who would want one of these things? I would, for one, but my friend David from the UK points out that such a device hidden away from sight would be ideal for storing data you wouldn't want confiscated by the police.

    The author doesn't mention porn in his article... get your minds out of the gutter

  13. issues on Cyberbees Score MIT Prize · · Score: 2, Funny

    ''Socially, I suffered tremendously. I couldn't have bought a girlfriend in high school. But I survived by sensing I was on a different course from my peers,'' McLurkin said. ''I knew I had a future.''

    At least he isn't bitter...

    Unique? Think again:

  16. Re:Annoyances? on Adding a Hard Drive... To Your DVD Player? · · Score: 5, Funny

    Annoyances? I thought they were bugs.

    Bugs? I thought they were features.

  17. So... on Visiting the World, as a Geek? · · Score: 1

    "And I want to see the world before I've got the wife and the kids and the double mortgage."

    Where do you want to go today?

  18. more info on 3D/2D switchable LCD monitor from Sharp · · Score: 5, Funny
  19. no DK games. on Microsoft Buys Rare · · Score: 1

    Donkey Kong is owned by Nintendo, not Rare. Nintendo will not allow a game to be released on the X-box starring one of its oldest characters. Rare will be making games like Perfect Dark, Goldeneye, etc.

  20. Re:*cough* on Star Wars Episode II DVD Release on Nov. 12 · · Score: 2, Funny

    Star what? Attack of the what?

    Star WARS: Attack of the CLONES.

    Sheesh, where have you been?

  21. uhm on Using Your Computer to Repel Pests · · Score: 2, Interesting

    "Some users of the mosquito-repelling program have reported headaches after long periods spent in front of a computer emitting the bug-repelling high-pitched whine."

    No comment on whether these users got the same headaches just by sitting in front of the computer for hours at a time without the program running?

  22. no SSBM? on Gaming on the IMAX · · Score: 1

    GameCube Games: Super Monkey Ball, Soccer Slam, SSX Tricky

    What about Super Smash Brothers Melee? Easily the best multiplayer title for the GameCube.

  23. Paranoia on CNN Says Chat Rooms Are a Haven for Hackers · · Score: 1

    "A lot more credit card numbers are stolen than ever used, but you should assume that right now, in your wallet, there's a credit card number that has been stolen off the Net."

    How is a statement like this helpful in any way? Are people supposed to stop using credit cards period? These paranoid 'experts' need to realize that while this sort of thing may happen, it doesn't mean that it has already happened to you. Scaring people does nothing to help them.

  24. Re:Correction on In NZ, Sharing Ethernet With A Whole CIty · · Score: 1

    Most home users are on dialup and not cable. The geek community (of which all members require DSL, cable, or someother high speed alternative) is not the biggest group out there. We are but a small percentage of a bigger group. Just think of the millions of people using AOL...

  25. review of MS tech support on Perception of Linux Among IT Undergrads · · Score: 5, Funny

    Here's a review of how well MS's tech support really works: http://www.bmug.org/news/articles/MSvsPF.html
