  1. You romancer you... on Japanese Arcade Scene Still Going Strong · · Score: 3, Funny


    The old man playing had a cigarette in one hand and was pressing the button as fast as he could with the other, making the on screen breast flop around. As the score for his jiggling got tallied up our eyes met and we both smiled.

    Right out of a Meg Ryan movie I tell ya ;-)

  3. Re:Linux Uprising? on The Linux Uprising · · Score: 5, Funny

    From the B. Perens Interview:
    The only way to stop open source is to make it illegal. If they're not going to make it illegal, it's pretty hard to stop it.


    Hey Bruce, you givin' away the play book now? ;-)

    Hmm, freedom fighters enforcing laws. That common in your neighbourhood???

  8. How big's your lawn? on Toro iMow - A Robotic Mower that Works? · · Score: 5, Funny


    my dreams of a little robot to mow my lawn are still years away?

    For about $50.00/acre I could dress my little brother up in his R2 costume and send him over with the push mower...

  9. Claroline on Software for Online Courses? · · Score: 1


    A GPL'ed e-learning platform: Claroline Classroom online

    Perhaps, but that website sure isn't.

  11. Re:Heh... on Heads-Up Wearable Display · · Score: 1


    The author of that article does seem to be good at stating the obvious!

    Another example:
    For astronauts, laptops are popular in space due to their portability.

    I thought they liked 'em 'cause CRTs gave too much of a glare from the sun.

  12. grandma too... on MPAA Requests Immunity to Commit Cyber-Crimes · · Score: 1

    From Berman's statement ...there has been a marked increase in P2P downloads of copyrighted software, games, photographs, karaoke tapes, and movies. Books, graphic designs, newspaper articles, needlepoint designs , and architectural drawings cannot be far behind. (emphasis mine)

    Looks like grandma's been "crossing palms with silver" too.

    Crickey, 1 hour and 4 minutes before someone jumped on that lame setup.

  17. Re:Canadian.biz on Latest UDRP Stupidity: Unix.org, Canadian.biz · · Score: 2, Informative

    Molson figures they should have canadian.biz but left canadian.ca to wallow in the sorry state it is?
