  1. you mean I have to do something? on Three Planets Racing this Weekend · · Score: 1


    To catch the show, go outside after sunset today and find a spot with a clear view of the western horizon,...

    man that sounds like alot of effort. How about if I just bookmark the 'planet' tag over at Flickr?

  2. which is it? on Google Launches Summer of Code · · Score: 5, Funny



    When exactly is the application deadline?

    The "summer of code" page says June 24th. The pdf linked from there says June 14th.

    ('Course if those were reversed I could've made some smart assed comment about the extra 10 days accounting for Adobe's pdf reader to launch).

  3. promoting list spam on Contagious Media Showdown · · Score: 1

    Oh, This was a brilliant idea. Contestants are now tolling mailing lists with links to their crappy entries.

    Right now I can think of a few contagions I'd like to see the backers of this contest infected with.

  4. Re:Just write it off I guess on Biggest Identity Thief Ever Gets Put Away · · Score: 1, Insightful


    Sure write it off. Or go after Teledata Communications the guy's employer. They should have some liability in this. 30,000 people makes for one powerful class action.

  8. I hear that! on Political Yard Sign Wars Wage as Election Nears · · Score: 4, Funny

    ...are being burned, chopped down, spray-painted and commonly, stolen away in the dark of night

    I can sympathize. This sounds like what happened to my pot crop this summer.... well, minus the spraypaint. I never thought to bring 'em inside though - those democrats are so pratical.

  9. volunteers on Help NASA Count Contrails · · Score: 4, Funny


    WTF. Volunteers?? Do they honestly think we professional contrail counters are gonna take this lying down?

  10. Re:levels of intelligence... on Chimps Use Tool Kit · · Score: 5, Insightful


    My dad always told me that "A dog will warm himself by the fire, but will never throw another log on it."

    Hmm, and when he made this observation were you usually flaked out on the couch instead of out mowing the lawn or the like?

    Nothing like subtle digs from dad.

  11. soil on Dilbert's Ultimate House · · Score: 5, Insightful

    That greenhouse needs a good hydroponics system if Dilbert's looking to get any quality chronic.

  16. Jakob Nielson and Macromedia on Knock, Knock: Information Pollution Is Here · · Score: 2, Interesting


    Isn't Jakob Nielson mixed up with Macromedia?
    What he's describing sounds a lot like their vision for Central

    Coincidence?

  17. Re:50 years from now... on SpaceShipOne Rockets To 68,000 Feet · · Score: 5, Funny

    The ability to educate one's self should be the greatest lesson of a compulsary education.

    Agreed. With the ability to dress one's self coming a close second.

  18. Its all that stuff on India Joins Galileo Consortium · · Score: 2, Funny

    Not sure about the outsourcing but you're bang on about the "stuff". It'll bring down any civilization.

    Is her last name .jpg or .gif?

    Well Mr. AC, seeing as how I'm gonna be doing some explaining anyway, I'd say .gif - her 'copyright' just recently expired too...

    Thanks, thanks a hell of a lot, you bastards.

    My gf walks into the room and I'm sitting here with a moz download dialog: "Saving 79% of shinyballs.mov"

    See, thats part of your problem right there.
    - ATI card: which one?
    - Linux: any particular distro?
    - Trouble: Is the card out of its cardboard box yet?

    You do have a point but even the most helpful 'guru' gets sick and tired of "its broken, please fix" pleas!
