    What? That's not Fair!

    "Interview removed by request of id Software."

  4. Re:Windows 7 on Average User Only Runs 2 Apps, So Microsoft Will Charge For More · · Score: 1

    Wow, two Star Wars mis-quotes in a row.

    Could it help if I stepped out and pushed?

  5. Re:Wilhelm? Very odd! on False Fact On Wikipedia Proves Itself · · Score: 1

    Surely a name like Wilhelm is just screaming out to be noticed.

  6. Re:Is this useful? on FSFE Launches Free PDF Readers Campaign · · Score: 1

    Oh I see, it's a standard. Just like OOXML?

  7. Re:Here's an idea on Why Sustainable Power Is Unsustainable · · Score: 1

    Yes there is, but with good insulation you can control *when* the air is replaced. I, for example, replace the air first thing in the morning when I open the windows for an hour.

  8. Re:Authenticity on The Deceptive Perfection of Auto-Tune · · Score: 1

    ... and yet, trailer trash or not, all the mixing/effects equipment in the world wouldn't help if she wasn't actually a GOOD SINGER to begin with.

  9. Re:Authentic is the wrong word on The Deceptive Perfection of Auto-Tune · · Score: 1

    The "artists" or "singers" on the other hand, are finding more and more ways to artificially make themselves sound better than they really are.

    You mean like plugging a guitar into an amplifier?

  10. Re:Bill Gates did NOT release mosquitos. on Bill Gates Unleashes Swarm of Mosquitoes · · Score: 1

    Wait, are we talking about Bill or Ted now? Or both?

  11. Re:Eh? on Scientists Create Compound With a Single Element · · Score: 1

    Iron Ferrite?

    I think you mean North Montana.

  13. Re:Wasn't this a Phil Collins song? on SUSE Studio — Linux Customization For the Masses · · Score: 1

    So you... don't want to be entertained in a church?

  14. Re:Woah on KDE 4.2 Is Released · · Score: 1

    And still the Fedora people saw fit to kill KDE 3.5 for it in their next release.

  15. Carbonie? on Carbonite Stacks the Deck With 5-Star Reviews · · Score: 2, Funny

    These guys should really have their assets... frozen.

  16. Re:Just do it! on Senate Approves 4-Month Delay In Digital TV Switch · · Score: 1

    You really should have tried to work 1.21 somewhere in there...

  17. Re:Great on USB Flash Drive Comparison Part 2 — FAT32 Vs. NTFS · · Score: 1

    No data points here, but when I formatted my 8GB flash disk as EXT3 (was FAT32), I saw an almost ten-fold increase in transfer speed.

  18. Re:Bunk on Lots of Pure Water Ice At Mars North Pole · · Score: 1

    Okay how about this:

    Acidity and alkalinity are determined by the concentration of hydrogen ions (H+) (usually hydronium (H3O+)) in a sample. The more hydronium, the lower the pH, and the more acidic your sample. The less hydronium, the higher the pH and the more alkaline your sample.

    Now pure H2O cannot by definition contain any hydronium, so our only option is to assign it the highest possible pH value, 14, which puts it in the strong alkali camp. Stronger than NaOH. And would kill you pretty swiftly.

    Of course I suspect one can never attain this level of water purity so we're probably safe.

  19. Re:Why is this a story? on Trojan Hides In Pirated Copies of Apple iWork '09 · · Score: 1

    iPhone... consumer appliance.

    I'd say it's closer to a computer than you might think, and I don't see anything realistic preventing malware entering that platform too.

  20. Re:c-derived languages? on Survey Says C Dominated New '08 Open-Source Projects · · Score: 0

    Well ... yes, actually.

  21. Re:This story's tags are killing me on Microsoft Donates Code To Apache's "Stonehenge" Project · · Score: 1

    Fixed that for you

  22. Re:Firefox on How To Diagnose a Suddenly Slow Windows Computer? · · Score: 1

    I'm convinced that Firefox really needs a "kill plugins" button. I doubt the extensions api would have hooks for this so would probably need to be part of Firefox proper.

    Oh do shut up.

  25. Re:Transportation Safety on Barack Obama Sworn In As 44th President of the US · · Score: 1

    We aren't safer because we have to take off our shoes to board an airplane. We aren't safer because we make pilots go through metal detectors. We aren't safer because we're now required to having a driver's license to fly. We aren't safer because we aren't allowed to take our toothpaste (except in teeny tiny tubes) with us.

    [citation needed]

    In the most part I agree with you, but I've yet to come across a peer-reviewed study concluding that the security theatre doesn't make travellers safer.
