  1. That explained the suspension on Russian Rovers on the Moon · · Score: 5, Funny

    "the most interesting thing about all of this is that they remodeled the rover for earthside use under the brand name lada.

    Tested on the moon? This must explain the "bounce 20 feet in the air when you roll over a pebble" suspension.

  2. Pretty successful, until on Russian Rovers on the Moon · · Score: 5, Funny

    They were pretty successful. The last pictures showed something like this on the lunar surface. After this, transmissions were cut off.

  3. Russia's first space rover on Russian Rovers on the Moon · · Score: 3, Informative

    Click here to find out the true story of Russia's first space "rover", almost 50 years ago.

  4. Appearance important to Apple users? on Enderle's Ferrari Laptop · · Score: 1

    Apparently Apple users do not have the market cornered on the appearance of the laptop actually being important

    Usually, this is true. However, at one time Apple was successfully selling Powerbooks that looked like they were modelled after the toilet seats of Graceland.

  5. Boot Canary on Enderle's Ferrari Laptop · · Score: 3, Funny

    I used to have an old 386 that must have had an unstable system clock. The benchmarks varied wildly, often showing unheard of 400 mhz speeds on a 16 mhz machine.

    When you turned it on, the "beep" was often a wail or canary-like warble. The clock speed was so inconstant that it varied even at boot time, affecting the pitch of the beep.

  6. Keying the thing on Enderle's Ferrari Laptop · · Score: 1

    Only if you know the private key.

  7. Still more auto-branded laptops: on Enderle's Ferrari Laptop · · Score: 1

    8. "The tribe has spoken.." [CLICK!]
    7. Saran wrap.
    6. Solve the Poincare Conjecture. Nahhh, no one will ever do that
    5. Tinfoil helmets. They're cheap, and I don't know a single person wearing one who received control messages from the Bildeburgers.
    4. Serve brains?. Oh, sorry, misunderstood.
    3. Tweak the DMCA to make it an instant capital offense to write or read fanfic of any kind.
    2. "Turn that radio away from Rush Limbaugh!"
    1. Buy all the syndication rights for "Gilligans Island" and sit on them.

  9. Igor on Cool New Ideas to Save Brains · · Score: 2, Funny

    At last, another job for Igor:

    "what do you want me to do, Master"

    "Find brains, and save them. There is a large quantity of pickle jars in the room off the laboratory".

  10. Shhhhh. on Knoppix 3.3 Update, 3.4 C't Edition Are Out · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Shhhh. I'm trying to concentrate. I know there is a message from either the Council on Foreign Relations, or MLB hidden somewhere in there. Not sure yet. Trying to figure it out....

  11. What does the Internet want? on The Internet, Media and Politics · · Score: 4, Funny

    From a CNN interview conducted by Wolf Blitzer:

    Wolf: "Who are you looking for in a candidate?"

    Mr. Internet: "I want Howard Dean. He makes my routers and hubs happy"

    Wolf: "Do you have anything more to add, in our discussion of politics?

    Mr. Internet: "I took the initative in creating Al Gore"

  12. A minor Dean blunder. on The Internet, Media and Politics · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I visited deanforamerica.com last week and got rewarded for my visit with a big nasty popup window that his site put on my screen (just like an X10 ad). If they knew anything about the Internet community, they would have known how much people hate these things.

  13. Search for wedding photos, you pathetic nerds on Microsoft's Search Engine Plans · · Score: 0, Troll

    The only wedding photos you're going to find are all those Pamela Lee downloads, and the "Chewie and Leia's Honeymoon" pix you made yourself using Photoshop.

  14. Sorry on Microsoft's Search Engine Plans · · Score: 1

    That is quite nice of you. However, you are about a 5 days off.

  15. More from Darth Ballmer on Microsoft's Search Engine Plans · · Score: 1

    Darth Ballmer: Where are those plans you've been hiding?

    Rebel leader: Ummm. I stored them on my XP machine. Due to an OS security flaw, the DiaNoga Worm (tm) got into my system and wiped the drive.

    Darth Ballmer:. Ummmm. never mind. Assistant! Where are my dancing shoes?

  16. Search results in Micro"Google" on Microsoft's Search Engine Plans · · Score: 3, Funny

    search for "best OS" find Microsoft

  17. Attention *BSD Trolls ! on Napster Business Model Not Generating Revenue · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    You can now have great fun taking all your vast "*BSD is Dying" screeds, and re-posting them with "Napster" substituted for *BSD ! Do this, for fun, and profit, and negative mod points! (of which I will likely accuminate one for this message myself)

  18. Nothing to buy there on Napster Business Model Not Generating Revenue · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Most of the songs I look for on Napster, they just don't sell (not in their catalog). So it's off to Amazon or the CD store or a used music place.

  19. son of a.... on SCO Complaint Filed -- Including Code Samples · · Score: 2, Funny

    Mc means son-of..

    He's a son of a.... alright!

  20. Oops on SCO Complaint Filed -- Including Code Samples · · Score: 5, Funny

    I keep thinking of him as Daryl, since Darl is a female name.

    To make matters worse, he's a McBride and not a McGroom.

  21. SCO Code Sample on SCO Complaint Filed -- Including Code Samples · · Score: 4, Funny

    Here's a sample of the actual code:

    Select All (*Linux.Users*)

    Repeat
    Daryls.Bankacct = Daryls.Bankacct + Linux.User.Acct(x)
    until total(Linux.Users) = 0

    set displaymode = gloat

    Bwahahaha! Oh man, that's great. A "whole hacker incident". That's a good one. I've got tears rolling down my cheek from laughing so hard at that joke. Like that'll ever happen!
