  4. Re:UNIX ain't nothin' on Maddog's New Hampshire "Unix" Plate Turns 20 · · Score: 1

    Saw this on in my local shopping center. It's a *double* pun, combining the plate and the plate holder:

    Plate: MVEM JSU
    Plate Holder: This license plate is NP-Complete.

    Hint: I spoke to the guy and he works at JPL.

  10. Re:first post! on Is a $72.5m Opening Weekend Enough For Star Trek? · · Score: 1

    Oddly, I wasn't interested in seeing it. But having read good reviews from people who were prepared to hate it (other hard core Trekkers), I'll probably go see it.

    Maybe they were hoping that they could meet a hot CIA agent while working at Geek Squad.

    Yes, but that's not what the commonly accepted meaning of "jailbreak" in the context of the iPhone meant.

  14. Re:Hasn't MS learned *anything* over the years? on Windows 7 Anti-Piracy Plans · · Score: 1

    Look at the iPhone for example; it took very little time for people with no previous knowledge of the device to have a working solution for jailbreaking the phone and installing pirated apps.

    They weren't pirated apps. They were simply not blessed by Apple.

  15. Re:but it's now WAT instead of WGA on Windows 7 Anti-Piracy Plans · · Score: 5, Funny

    Soon they will rename it as "*The* Windows Activation Technologies", at which point it will be known as TWAT.
