  1. Re:My Prayer on Jack Thompson Gearing Up For GTA IV Fight · · Score: 1

    The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

    Of course, that then raises the question, is it JT or MS who's the friend in this instance!

  2. Re:I don't even bother to erase mine. on Memories of a Media Card · · Score: 1

    This is digital pix, not microfilm.

  3. Verbal abuse on Study Says 2 In 5 Bosses Lie · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Yep.

    Not only that, but in a horribly inappropriate place, too.

    Was on a trade show floor, in our booth, and the boss was unhappy about how some code was implemented. He went ballistic on me and a coworker... RIGHT THERE IN OUR BOOTH!!!!

    I kept my mouth shut, but was thinking, "You know, there's a time and a place for everything, and this is neither the time nor the place."

  4. ObSNL on Lucas, Ford to Start Filming New Indiana Jones Film · · Score: 4, Funny

    That's what your mother said, Trebek!

    Nah, he's not a cylon.

    I, for one, welcome our new Trillionaire overlords.

    Wikipedia documentation of the frozen tundra bit.

  8. Re:I thought everyone knew.. on What's Hidden Under Greenland's Ice? · · Score: 1

    No, that isn't it. Lambeau isn't buried under ice -- it just seems that way. It's really just a "Frozen Tundra".

  9. Re:"Play it again, Sam" on SCO Asks Court To Reconsider IBM's Dismissal · · Score: 1

    More great lines:

    Ugarte: You despise me, don't you, Rick?

    --

    Capt. Renault: I'm shocked! SHOCKED! To find that gambling has been going on in this establishment!
    Sasha? : Your winnings, Capt. Renault.

  10. Re:Heard the sonic boom.. on Discovery Lands in Florida · · Score: 1

    Is it still active or extant?

  11. Re:The Casablanca Dilemma on SCO Asks Court To Reconsider IBM's Dismissal · · Score: 1

    But he does tell Sam to "Play it".

    "If she can stand it, I can! Play it!"

  12. Re:Good on Librarians Stake Their Future on OSS · · Score: 3, Insightful

    You're conflating free-as-in-beer with free-as-in-spech.

    The OP said "proprietary".

    If IE is so free, can you get me the source so I can fix some of the bugs?

  13. Re:SCO could use the insanity defense on SCO Asks Court To Reconsider IBM's Dismissal · · Score: 1

    That term's thrown around a lot on Groklaw, but in the US, I believe the term is "piercing the corporate veil".

  14. Re:Heard the sonic boom.. on Discovery Lands in Florida · · Score: 3, Informative

    length of the orbiter (the longest supersonic vehicle there is, with the demise of the Concorde)

    I believe that honor goes to the B-1B. According to Wikipedia, the STS orbiter is 122 feet long, while the B-1B is 137 feet.

  15. Re:I can't believe it... on Judge Rules Against Deep-Linking of Content · · Score: 4, Insightful

    How was the guy "steal"ing it? He didn't copy it on his own server. He left it on the plaintiff's server and posted a link to it.

    I guess CmdrTaco should get the death penalty for all those links to copyrighted content he posts on this site.

  16. Re:Excellent! on Jeremy Allison Resigns From Novell In Protest · · Score: 3, Insightful

    he says that even though Novell is not violating the GPL, under which Samba is released, it still is not upholding the true intent of the license.

    No, that's not what he's saying. You're close, though. What he's saying is that even if Novell is not violating the GPL, under which Samba is released, it still is not upholding the true intent of the license.

    There's a difference. The actual statement is a hypothetical. Your version is an assertion.

  17. Re:Excellent! on Jeremy Allison Resigns From Novell In Protest · · Score: 1

    As I recall, they specifically announced that they weren't pulling SCOX's license for Samba, so I doubt they'd do it for Novell, either.

  18. Re:This sounds familiar... on Sony Says Nobody Will Ever Use All the Power of a PS3 · · Score: 2, Funny

    No, just confuse it with total illogic. After all, logic is a little bird twittering among the trees. Logic is a pretty flower that smells bad. Are the PS3's circuits in order? Its ears are green!

  19. Re:Given the fact on Small Businesses Worry About MS Anti-Phishing · · Score: 1

    That even Microsoft itself has allowed its security certificates to lapse in the past

    Hell, Microsoft has allowed some of its major domain names to lapse.... hotmail.co.uk and passport.com

    Joe Sixpack : Limewire it is then.

    Just bought my daughter a Nano, and her first question was "can I put limewire on my PC?".

    Told her no.

  22. Re:MIRV's for kids: the Stewie Griffin story on The 10 Most Dangerous Toys of All Time · · Score: 1

    Yeah, but as I recall, you had to get your parents to buy the E and F engines (and maybe the Ds as well).

    I'd like to point out that Carter also pronounced it "Nucular", and he went to the Navy's nuke school.
