  1. Mo' money on Warming and Slowing the World · · Score: 1, Funny

    Days are longer, eh? I will have to use this as argument the next time I have to ask the boss for a raise in pay. :-)

  2. Flash Bulletin 2040 on A Timeline of the Future · · Score: 1

    A mass murdere was aprehended earlier today. He is believed to have killed more than 100. It seems he is a sysadmin who started playing PS Doom as root.

    Processes have been suspended pending the investigation.

  3. Re:A new call to the Police.. on Harddrive Speakers · · Score: 2, Funny

    ...he just bought a 200 gig hard drive, and a keg of beer


    Police: Sorry sir, we can ask him to close Windows. Other than that we can't do anything. :-)

    Very fsck'ed up.
  4. Yes!!! on FreeDOS · · Score: 1

    ...released under the GNU General Public License


    Does this mean that I can finally sell my copy of "Undocumented DOS"? :-)
  5. Congratulations on Kathleen Fent Read This Story · · Score: 1


    Congratulations from me too.

    Yes I know it's a "me 2" post, but you have to do it in this case.

    Remember to practices safe hex (and maybe one day you'll get good at it)

  6. Re:Another job for... on Robot Mine Smasher · · Score: 1

    Imagine small khaki-colored legos going into actual battle.

    -the lego death squad


    I'm thinking "fluffy bunnies" from "Full Throttle".... *evil grin*
  7. I hope they will use on New Space Quest Game Under Development? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I hope they will use Gary Owens as narrator for this one too. He made SQ6 extra cool.

    "Careful, combining these two items might cause a rip in the space-time continuum, a tear in the very fabric of space itself! (or not)"

    This is going to be so cool.....Maybe I should get out more...

  8. Travaling Salesman? on Google Programming Contest · · Score: 2, Funny

    Make a new contest:

    Step 1: Find the shortest path to visit all the webpages in cache.

    Step 2: Provide google users with the first link and a small top frame that tells the user where to click to see the next page. (repeat step until the last page is found)

    Step 3: First to get to the last page wins.

    If you browser crashes, you have to start over.

  9. Private, Encrypted? on Spyware in Audio Galaxy · · Score: 2, Insightful
    We have undertaken technical measures to make sure that VX2 never collects credit card numbers, account numbers or passwords.


    I wonder, since they admit that it is possible to send private data to them, is the stream to their server encrypted (SSL or something)? I mean, even if I DID trust them, I am not sure I trust EVERYONE along the way to their server.

    Good thing the AG/Linux does not spyware, I hope....
  10. Re:But if there are no black holes... on Black Holes Disputed · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    Yes, and where does /dev/null lead to?

  11. Re:Are you mad? on USPS Irradiation Damages Electronics · · Score: 1

    To paraphrase Fyodor Dostoevsky, "If the existence of the entire universe, including your happiness, necessitated the torture of even one little girl, would you want it?"


    Hopefully I will never have to make that choice.

    But the measure in this case might be a little to harsh.

    I am willing to bet that more than five people died last year from eating frensh fries. Why havn't this product that obviously kills people been removed from the market?

    Death (even so-called "unnatural" death) is a consequence of life. If everytime someone dies, we remove or restrict what ever killed that person, this planet would be a boring place.
