  1. Re:Don't need one with kids around on Death to the 3.5" Floppy? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Sell your child.

  2. Hmmmm on Audio Format Listening Tests Concluded · · Score: 3, Funny

    Tests confirmed that attempting to encode "Aphex Twin" with any of these codecs caused the PC to tremble at a frequency that, when connected to a refracting laser stuck up Bill Gates' ass, had it spell out "we're all dead" on the nearest wall.

  3. Is it just me? on Scramjet Success in Australia · · Score: 1

    I just cant stop thinking about Vermicious Knids.

    This needs to be modded to "+5 What the Fuck?"

  4. Great on Back to the Moon? · · Score: 0, Troll

    So now we can really go there for the first time.

    Oooh. Whups. All you Americans better get angry.

    No, ANGRY!

    That's better.

    Curious how you guys have never been back isn't it.

    Right, right, there's no reason. OK. I heard the first time.

  5. Cool on Pencigraphy: Image Composites from Video · · Score: 1

    So now we can really do:

    Enhance 224 to 176. Enhance, stop. Move in, stop. Pull out, track right, stop. Center in, pull back. Stop. Track 45 right. Stop. Center and stop. Enhance 34 to 36. Pan right and pull back. Stop. Enhance 34 to 46. Pull back. Wait a minute, go right, stop. Enhance 57 to 19. Track 45 left. Stop. Enhance 15 to 23. Give me a hard copy right there. W00T! IT'S A FUCKING UNICORN! 0WN3D!

  6. What's the next big thing? on Ask Dr. Richard Wallace, Artificial Intelligence Researcher · · Score: 1

    I finished a B.Sc in AI almost 5 years ago now. I noticed that the field had a tendency to jump from one shift in thinking to another over time. Discrete list-based and knowledge management systems were overtaken by more fuzzy concepts like neural networks and genetic algorithms.
    Assuming there is another paradigm shift around the corner, what areas of research do you think it will grow out of?

  7. They should... on PDA and Subnotebook Killer? · · Score: 1

    They should really try and make their website more annoying.

    They have it just right with their use of flash, but they missed <BLINK> and <JUSTFUCKINGSTOPITOK?>

  8. For all you non-Englanders out there on Lost Python Sketches Will See The Light · · Score: 0

    it's Python as in "Pythn" not "PythAAARRRN". Goddamnit.

  9. You missed one thing... on nForce2 Preview · · Score: 1

    a partridge in a pear tree?

  10. Two that people have missed: on Electronic Music 101? · · Score: 1

    Two of the most seminal albums of the last 10 years that people seem to have missed:

    Orbital - Orbital 2 (The Brown Album)
    Amazon UK

    and

    Leftfield - Leftism
    Amazon UK

    They are probably a little bit slower than the stuff you heard from Sasha and Digweed (average bpm for electronic music has been rising slowly over time) but they are both absolutely incredible albums.

  11. Well on Eavesblogging the Internet Law Program · · Score: 0, Offtopic
    There is tons of interesting stuff in there - it's worth your time to read through if you have any interest in the subject matter at all.
    Well, er, no I don't.

    Next.
  12. Just remember... on POV-Ray 3.5 Rendered · · Score: 4, Funny

    ...rendering a glass sphere over a chequered floor has NEVER been done before. Try it!

  13. I never really knew what deep linking meant... on Danish Court Rules Deep Linking Illegal · · Score: 3, Funny

    until now:

    "Jeg er dybt chokeret. Vi taber på alle punkter, men det er sikkert, at vi kærer til Landsretten, siger han."

  14. Hmmm on Estimating the Size/Cost of Linux · · Score: 1

    It may well containt "over 30 million physical source lines of code (SLOC)", but what about the lines of source code? Eh?

    Didn't think about that, did you?

  15. Upstream??? on 3 Megabit Cable Modems, Anyone? · · Score: 1

    What's the upstream capacity?

  16. It will all be fine. on How Will WorldCom/UUNet Impact The Internet? · · Score: 4, Funny

    When they bill you, simply explain to them that although they originally invoiced you for $1300 what they actually meant to do was to give you a $2500 credit.

    If they argue, just mumble something about irrational exuberance.

  17. Re:This is what they should do, but still won't wo on RIAA to Sue You Now · · Score: 1
    P2P networks as festering cesspools of piracy
    Er, what else do people use p2p for?
  18. Freeloading movies _is_ getting easier... on Music Industry Staggers While Film Industry Blooms · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Some points:

    - The Divx format is getting better all the time - it is currently far better than VHS, for a 1 disk per movie rip. 2 Disk per movie films are generally of very high quality. Not DVD quality, but not far off.
    - Broadband is slowly getting cheaper and more prevalent. Within a few years I can't really imagine more than 10% of the net using dial-up.
    - Some p2p apps are VERY good. Edonkey, for example, pretty much maxes out my 1024 downstream when a new release comes out. It's relatively simple to get working - about as painless as Napster was.
    - People are slowly getting DivX capability in their living room, be it through a PC connected to the TV, a DreamCast or no doubt fairly soon a ps2/xbox.
    - The releases are coming thick and fast. Especially if you dont live in the US. dvd rips are often out before the film is in theatres here in the UK.
    - CD burners and Blank CDs are ridiculously cheap.

    Put that lot together and I'd say the movie industry should be pretty worried.

  19. What's new... on Data Mining, Cocaine and Secrecy · · Score: 1

    So the Columbians really are Wired...

  20. I know... on Anonymous Will Award $200,000 for Xbox Linux · · Score: 1

    It's Larry Ellison...He's already been through a load of garbage from Microsoft once in his life, why stop now?

  21. Just use OpenSSH on SSH-Based Solutions - Looking for Industry Proof? · · Score: 1

    It's secure. I mean, er, 2.9 is secure.

    No wait. 3.1 is secure. Oh, no make that 3,3...Er, 3.4. Yeah, that's it. 3.4.

  22. Re:Is it just me.... on OpenSSH Vulnerability Disclosed, Version 3.4 Released · · Score: 1

    Jeeezus, if you dont like it or the way the promote it dont use it. It's not like you are paying them.

    How can you have a PR stunt for something as essential as SSH? It's like having a PR stunt for food.

  23. Its just as well... on WorldCom CFO Accused of $3.6 Billion Fraud · · Score: 1
    ...they didn't have Andersen as their auditor.

    Oh.

    Oh dear.

  24. What does it mean? on A Terabyte of Data on a Laptop Hard Drive · · Score: 1

    Does this mean the Library of Congress will instantly shrink to the size of a matchbox? Or is it that my laptop will turn into 5 libraries?

  25. I think it starts to get borderline with on Does Drawing on Experience Infringe on Other's IP? · · Score: 1

    I think it starts to get borderline with:

    cvs -d blah@cvs.blah.com:/blah.cvsroot checkout l33tcode
