  1. Re:Not surprising on IRS To Go After eBay Sellers · · Score: 1

    why was this flamebait?

  2. oh, my turn.... on T. Rex Protein Analysis Supports Dinosaur-Bird Link · · Score: 0, Redundant

    I, for one, welcome our flightless, warm-blooded, aviary-predecessing overlords.

  3. Re:There is even more water on Enormous Amount of Frozen Water Found on Mars · · Score: 1

    reminds me of Spaceballs

  4. our IT on Do You Allow Webmail Use on Your Network? · · Score: 1

    does not allow the usual "bad" attachments - .exe,.bat and the like - but some of our equipment if 2000 or XP based (no *nix - the german division decided against it) and we often need to send such files about to and from the engineers. We are forced to use webmail or upload to a site and send the download link along. It would be much easier if we had a secure mail client that would just deliver the attachments without trying to read them to us.

  5. It may be as popular as on A New Twist On Skywriting · · Score: 1

    Snakes on a plane

  6. what will they do when on Pentium 4 631 Overclocked to 8 GHz · · Score: 1

    they exceed the theoretical maximum of warp 10 ?

  7. excess gasses on Intel Countersues Transmeta · · Score: 5, Funny

    Have they thought about the energy wasted in pursuing the lawsuits ?

  8. they forgot on No Ceasefire in DVD Format Battle · · Score: 1

    it is a current format war, in a couple or three years we'll have to go thru all this again (well, not me, there is no media player on my motorcycle)

  9. Re:Saving the Earth on a Budget on A Sunshade In Space To Combat Global Warming · · Score: 1

    true, but did they take into consideration what powers Earth's hydro system?

  10. same as it ever was on Gran Tourismo HD Cars Sold Seperately? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    batteries not included

  11. Re:I don't care if it's abby normal on Invasion of the Body Snatchers · · Score: 0

    mod FUNNY !

  12. Re:Save the batteries...Pen AND Paper Games... on Games That Travel Well · · Score: 0

    oops - invitation for disaster, I meant.

  13. Re:Save the batteries...Pen AND Paper Games... on Games That Travel Well · · Score: 0

    In addition, it seems like an invitation to have sharp writing instruments in the kid's hands when the boredom sets in. Then again, most kids growing up may have broken a window or a vase, not walls and doorframes.

  14. Re:New Christmas song... on Hacking Santa · · Score: 4, Funny

    Oh, I wish I had some merry mod points
    Oh, I wish I had some merry mod points

  16. price of hops on Ingredients in Beer as a Cancer Treatment? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I can see the price of hops - and thus beer - going up now as more and more hops are used for cancer treatment.
    Will the pharmaceutical companies try to regulate hops to keep the price up?

    no,just the punchlines
    (lack o' beer)

  20. Re:Just put them in your microwave on You Need Not Be Paranoid To Fear RFID · · Score: 0

    oh yeah, what about the 99.999% of people from New Orleans that wouldn't do that ?
    Bear in mind they most likely don't have RFID on their list of immediate concerns

  21. Re:Just put them in your microwave on You Need Not Be Paranoid To Fear RFID · · Score: 0

    Good point on SOMEONE taking it violently, not just some unfortunate from the Big Easy,

  22. Re:That'll be good for the environment on Microsoft Invents A 'Play-Once Only' DVD · · Score: 0

    do what I do - work 12 hours a day or find a hobby that doesn't involve sitting in front of a CRT
    and no - I'm not in /. that often, I'm busy doing something, anything better than sitting, usually

  23. one bracket ? on Hard Drive Cooling for 10 Cents · · Score: 0

    one bracket does not seem sturdy enough for a fan of that size.....once the dupe comes out later today the second bracket will provide a much more durable solution.

    how easy is it to break/wear out those little hinges ?

  25. ok, easy on easy off, but... on James Bond Peelable Automobile Paint · · Score: 0

    what about the left-over material ? Its just adding to to waste streams we (the world) have to dispose of or reprocess. There's enough as it is to deal with
