  1. Re:misconception about salaries? on Dot-Com Work Culture Making a Comeback? · · Score: 1

    I was waiting for someone to read that sentence the wrong way. :)

  2. Re:misconception about salaries? on Dot-Com Work Culture Making a Comeback? · · Score: 1

    I never saw suits become required where they weren't in the first place (or dissapear from them where they were for that matter). I thankfully never saw excessive body odor, tattoos, or hair come (ref in the article) into style in IT offices either.

  3. Oblig Libby commercial jingle ref on Bush Commutes Libby's Sentence · · Score: 1

    If you try to send Libby Libby Libby to jail jail jail
    Politics will ensure that your attempt at justice fails fails fails

  4. Re:Marvel killing off all heroes on Captain America Buried in Arlington National Cemetary · · Score: 1

    The Comic Book Guy is wearing his too-small Captain America t-shirt in mourning. He is also marking up the price on all of his Captain America stock.

  5. Adding Accountancy Skill to My Mage on South Korea Now Officially Taxing Virtual Worlds · · Score: 2, Funny

    HR&R Block will be starting up a server in WoW every March. All characters will be required to finish the "Form 1040" quest.

  6. Re:Easy on What Happened Before the Big Bang? · · Score: 1

    God had to buy the universe dinner first.

  7. Re:Egomanical monitoring of the populace? on Vista is Watching You · · Score: 4, Funny

    It should be interesting how this clashes with China's own obsessive need to control people's PCs. I can see it now at Redmond, thousands of Vista inquiries being returned "Nothing to see here, move along."

  8. Re:Vista's biggest enemy on Vista is Watching You · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I was all for protecting my privacy until they offered me a free copy of "Minesweeper 3D" and "The Best of American Idol" audio tracks!

  9. Re:Reminds me of the gay bomb they wanted to make on Pentagon Developed 'Laughing Bullets' · · Score: 1

    They also had a confetti howitzer round, whoopee cushion humvee seat, and google eyes nightvision goggles in the works. A certain Gen. Cheaplaffs was in charge of DARPA at the time.

  10. Deathbed confession proves nothing on Deathbed Confession Says Aliens Were at Roswell · · Score: 1

    I'm sure the judge at the Salem witch trials would have sworn on his deathbed that the men and woman they killed were real witches.

  11. Re:Bombula on Deathbed Confession Says Aliens Were at Roswell · · Score: 1

    "the nerves that send the pictures from the eyes to the brain can only be so long"

    Yet some animals have eyes on stalks.

  12. Re:Bombula on Deathbed Confession Says Aliens Were at Roswell · · Score: 1

    "First off, it may be that the visitors have a limited budget, just like anything we do does. One allocates the risk based on this budget. Even though we may have the money to make or buy the Ultimate Safest Volvo, it does not mean we will."

    I think it is safe to say that if they existed and had the means of putting living beings on an interstellar voyage that they would also make the effort to implement a fool proof way of landing on the planet when they got there without getting killed.

  13. Re:How to win the challenge on Rutkowska Faces 'Blue Pill' Rootkit Challenge · · Score: 5, Funny

    Make sure it is girls though. If you give it to a pair of teenage boys by the end it'll be full of porn and chat logs filled with "FAG!" comments.

  14. Re:More Laptops on Rutkowska Faces 'Blue Pill' Rootkit Challenge · · Score: 1

    Reformat?

  15. Re:The feeling is mutual. on New Zealand Banks Demand a Peek at User PCs · · Score: 1

    As long as they (the banks) make sure their branches are understaffed during the day and close the instant everyone gets out of work they are content with the way things are.

    They seem to be good and flooding upper class town centers with branches though. One nearby town's center is half banks. So instead of an appealing shopping/dining area it is mostly dead in the evenings.

  16. Re:Yes! on Music Industry Attacks Free Prince CD · · Score: 1
    From the RIAA website:

    The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) is the trade group that represents the U.S. recording industry. Its mission is to foster a business and legal climate that supports and promotes our members' creative and financial vitality. Its members are the record companies that comprise the most vibrant national music industry in the world. RIAA members create, manufacture and/or distribute approximately 90% of all legitimate sound recordings produced and sold in the United States.

    The focus seems to be on the industry, not the artists.

  17. Re:Please retaliate. on Music Industry Attacks Free Prince CD · · Score: 2, Interesting

    If they hadn't pooped themselves over this I probably wouldn't have heard about it.

  18. Side Effect on Integrated HIV Successfully Cut Out of Human Genome · · Score: 2, Funny

    It has one serious side effect, it temporarily turns you into a rabbi.

  19. Re:Jump the Shark on Action-Heavy Version of Civilization Heading to Consoles · · Score: 1

    It's more like adding Cousin Oliver.

  20. Re:I've been saying for years on Giant Microwave Turns Plastic Back to Oil · · Score: 1

    Judging from the amount of trash I constantly see you could also mine most roadsides in the US for plastic bottles and bags.

  21. Hatshepsut doesn't work on First Royal Mummy Found Since Tut is Identified · · Score: 1
    Sorry but Hatshepsut just doesn't sound right...


    "Queen Hatshepsut
    Buried with a donkey
    She's my favorite honkey"

    Nope, sorry

  22. Re:Inscription on First Royal Mummy Found Since Tut is Identified · · Score: 1

    Right now some college girl in Jamaica is drunk and having that done. It'll go well with her ass-tat.

  23. Re:While its great they are so flexible on Boeing's New 787 Wings — Amazingly Flexible · · Score: 2, Insightful

    If they are so flexible does this mean they could ditch ailerons and go back to the ancient days of flying and bring back wing warping?

  24. Re:Fine... on 6 Months On, Vista Security Still Besting Linux · · Score: 1

    Well, seeing as he says "Full Disclosure: I work for Microsoft - read my previous blog post, Exactly how biased am I?." I'd say that information is pretty obvious.

  25. Re:Oh sure on Tunguska Impact Crater Found? · · Score: 1

    Pffft, obviously it is the flooded entrance to the hollow earth where Hitler and his UFO riding Nazi pals are hiding. Any other questions?
