  1. Re:It Is Rated R! #6 for Opening Weekend! on Watchmen 50 Days On, Was It Worth the Gamble? · · Score: 1

    Don't you mean Art Buchwald and "Coming to America"?

  2. Re:True application of science on Designing DNA Circuits To Brew Tastier Beer · · Score: 1

    Holy frack. You actually admit to knowing about that movie? Are Y(ah)oo Serious?

  3. And in other news... on Ancient Books Go Online · · Score: 1

    Copiepresse sued the World Digital Library for infringement.

  4. Re:RIAA has it right on RIAA Brief Attacks Free Software Foundation · · Score: 1

    despite being modded redundand

    I'd really like to mod the RIAA as redundant. Also Overrated, Troll, and Flamebait.

  5. Re:Things I found interesting on RIAA Brief Attacks Free Software Foundation · · Score: 1

    Beige alert! You must turn in your geek card for not recognizing the ObFuturama when you see it.

  6. Re:Untrue on BYU Prof. Says University Classrooms Will Be "Irrelevant" By 2020 · · Score: 1

    Pre-Powerpoint... I had a Advanced Calc (411) course [theory of calc in N dimensions, starting from set theory]. The course's emphasis was on rigorous proof, and the prof's idea of a lecture was to:
    <VOICE type="strong-hungarian-accent">read from the book in a monotone</VOICE>

    On the other hand, I had several smaller classes where the give-and-take was excellent between the students and the instructor.
    Even David Huffman himself, while arrogant, fostered good interaction in class.

  7. Re:Oh dear on Stephen Hawking Is "Very Ill" In Hospital · · Score: 2, Insightful

    You're right. The FSM isn't going to ask Hawking anything! He'll just touch Hawking with His Noodly Appendage!

  8. Re:Thanks an effn lot on Ridley Scott's Forever War In 3D · · Score: 1

    I guess you could get DoubleVision if you're (a) Foreigner

  9. We now have a release date for Windows 8 on Antitrust Regulators To Monitor Windows 7, But Not Later Releases · · Score: 1

    May 13, 2011.

    Though it might slip up to 18 months for "technical reasons".

  10. You're joking, right? on Obama Proposes High-Speed Rail System For the US · · Score: 1

    Mass transit working in LA? Ha!

    All transit in the greater LA areas is based on a faulty assumption, namely that everyone wants to go downtown.
    Those who want to go from, say, the Valley to the Westside, or vice-versa (and there are a lot of them), or maybe out to Ventura County, etc., are screwed.

  11. Re:The questions that come to mind on Pirate Bay Trial Ends In Jail Sentences · · Score: 1

    And if the supreme court comes down on them, we'll all be humped for the next fifty years and stuck listening to how the ruling is precedent for every other judicial quack looking for a reason to go after people who don't love the heavy-handed arms of the studios and labels. Given Obama's recent appointees from the RIAA, Isohunt's embroilment in another baseless case, and the continued (read:unchecked) malicious actions of the dogs of the RIAA/CRIA/MPAA/et al, my optimism might be described as waning at best.

    You are aware that this is a ruling of a Swedish court, and not a US court? Obama has absolutely nothing to do with this.

  12. Re:Can they appeal? on Appeals Court Says RIAA Hearing Can't Be Streamed · · Score: 1

    What have you got against whelks?

  13. Re:Good riddance on Time Warner Shelves Plans For Tiered Pricing · · Score: 1

    They've already got it, they just don't want to spend it.

  14. Re:A right to do what? on Lose Your Amazon Account and Your Kindle Dies · · Score: 5, Insightful

    No, because the stuff you bought at Costco will still work, even if your membership is canceled.

  15. Re:Low lifes on Jack Thompson Spams Utah Senate, May Face Legal Action · · Score: 1

    Despite all this, if the Cubs ever make it to the series, I want them to win. They really need it.

    Are you insane? One of the two signs of the Apocalypse has already happened (twice -- the BoSox winning). If the Cubs win, then the end of the world is at hand!

    Now that I think of it, I guess that means I have to predict the Cubs winning the Series in 2012. You heard it here first, folks!

  16. Damn on Time Warner Broadband Cap Trial Rescheduled In Texas · · Score: 3, Insightful

    When I read the headline, I was hoping TW was getting sued over the cap.
    Then I RTFS (this is /., I didn't RTFA).

  17. Re:Low lifes on Jack Thompson Spams Utah Senate, May Face Legal Action · · Score: 1

    Angels fan...

    No. What I'm talking about is Yanks fans come into your stadium and cheer the Yankees. They're not drunk and obnoxious, and if the Yanks win, they're like, "We won. Deal with it".

    Red Sox fans come into your stadium and cheer the Sox. They're drunk and obnoxious, and if the Sox win, they're like, "We won! Why aren't you happy for us?"

  18. Re:Low lifes on Jack Thompson Spams Utah Senate, May Face Legal Action · · Score: 2, Funny

    No, Yankee fans are merely cocky and arrogant. You're looking for Red Sox fans.

    ObDisclaimer: IANA Yankee Fan.

    That's because you followed the Gourd instead of the Shoe!

  21. Re:Well I'll say this for Obama on Obama Taps a 5th Lawyer From the RIAA · · Score: 4, Insightful

    That's the definition of an "honest politician". Of course, being from the Chicago political machine, he probably learned that early in his career.

  22. Re:Existing content? on Wikipedia Community Vote On License Migration · · Score: 1, Redundant

    I'm sorry, I don't quite get it. Can you give me a car analogy instead?

  23. Re:15 years or so ago on Worst Working Conditions You Had To Write Code In? · · Score: 1

    Had a lithium battery vent on me. I was in the lab, prepping a system for a trip the next day. The battery vented, and we had to evacuate the lab. I had to prep the system remotely (this was *NOT* a PC with a remotable display).
