  1. Re:Is anyone else getting worried here? on FSF: New Apache License not GPL-Compatible · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Who's tearing what? You can't say that you are "pro-OpenSource" and then say "Well, unless it's an important piece of software. We can always make exceptions."

    Seems to me that everything is carrying on as it always has.

  2. There are more apt quotes than those. on Space Station Slowly Falling Apart? · · Score: 5, Funny

    Race: Payload checklist. IRS surveillance satellite --
    Buzz: Check.
    Race: Ant farm --
    Buzz: Check.
    Race: Children's letters to God --
    Buzz: Check.

    --- Deep Space Homer

  3. Yeah but, on Tom's Hardware Reviews Multi-Display Gaming · · Score: 5, Interesting

    You can't beat the "3-headed" Doom play if you had three networked machines. That was fun.

  4. Counterfeits on 27 Central Banks Push Anti-Counterfeit Software · · Score: 4, Funny

    Homer: Hey Herman, I had to come out here to see what's so funny. [gasps] A counterfeit jeans ring operating out of my car hole! I'm going to tell everyone. Wait here.

  5. But what I don't understand is, on Candidate Ads, Coming Soon To An Inbox Near You · · Score: 5, Insightful

    With all this talk about how much everyone hates spam, even legislation supporting this idea, why would a candidate want to even come close to looking like they are spamming?

    It seems like it's too dangerous. Although, I guess there is a reason why spammers continue to spam. They really want that walking-around-in-their-underwear-at-walmart-scopi ng-the-latest-penis-enhacement-pills crowd. It almost makes sense when you consider it that way.

  6. Save more junk on Apollo 11 Launch Tower Rescue Effort · · Score: -1, Troll

    Our land is going dangerously underused.

  7. Re:Sheesh on The World of Virus Writers · · Score: 3, Funny

    Well he _is_ listening to Iron Maiden.

  8. Re:You win, don't pay on "DVD-Jon" Demands Compensation · · Score: 1

    Except if you are a middle class Joe who had to sue the Big Company for what they did and you lost. Since their court costs (higher priced lawyer(s)) are greater, and you don't have nearly the same amount of money at your disposal, you will be royally fucked if you lose. This would disenfranchise the ordinary person making the legal system only work for the Company.

  9. Re:Patriot Act is Unpatriotic on Part of Patriot Act Ruled Unconstitutional · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Unfortunately Bush 2 would have you believe that it is Congress' duty to "act now" to keep the PATRIOT ACT in effect. Thinking otherwise would be unpatriotic. Terrorist.

  10. Hoax on Spirit Rover Communications Error · · Score: 4, Funny

    It's a hoax. Nasa knows that space exploration will never capture the minds of the people unless it appeals to the least common denominator, just like nascar. They want to introduce car crashes into their missions to revitalize people's interest in the program and to increase funding.

  11. Masq on Review - Mac OS X Server 10.3, Part 2 · · Score: 0, Insightful

    Isn't this new feature "masquerading" known traditionally as 'su'?

  12. Re:They should've never been let go on Tog Takes on Mac OS X 10.3 · · Score: 2, Funny

    But how can you argue with lickability. Adept tongues are valuable assets.

  13. Action should be taken on Oscar Screener Leak Traced · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Action should be taken against those who release poor quality movies, such as "Gotta Give".

  14. First try on The Cheese Slicing Laser · · Score: 1

    "It smelled bad."

    Awesome.

  15. Bondo on Obtaining Replacement Parts for Your Laptop? · · Score: 1

    And lots of sanding.

  16. Re:Not a Segway on Clear Speakers, Segway Clone Top CES Coverage · · Score: 3, Funny

    Right, because even an idiot can keep the Segway balanced.

  17. Asianux on Linux for Asia: Asianux · · Score: 5, Funny

    I guess that's better than Lasia. Not much better though.

  18. Maybe on Did SCO Actually Buy What it Thought? · · Score: 5, Funny

    But SCO must know that they bought the farm. On this we can agree.

  19. Lakh on Bangalore Beats Silicon Valley · · Score: 1

    1.5 lakh, so 150,000?

  20. But on Microsoft's iPod-Killer: Portable Media Center? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    It costs 300 dollars more. And it runs Windows CEment.

  21. Re:trusted computing on Likely Success of Internet-Related Business Models? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I don't consider jumping on the latest tech fad to be a sound business model.

    Try creating something new for a change.

    And further, people don't want to hear it because they happen to value their freedom. They would rather be more constructive than destructive.

  22. Bizarre indeed. on Coalescent · · Score: 4, Funny

    "who communicate via the Internet and moderate each other's contributions to keep things ordered -- what a bizarre idea."

    Does he conclude that it doesn't work?

  23. Re:BackupPC on Review of the Mirra Home Backup System · · Score: 1

    And Mirra expects you to have a Windows PC in order to backup anything.

  24. Re:The real thing on Mars Rovers At Smithsonian And Exploratorium Now · · Score: 1

    Or the failure that is.

  25. HA on Embedded Linux VPN Router Near Release · · Score: 5, Interesting

    It would be nice if they have High Availability on their feature list. Some nice solid appliances like this would be interesting.
