  1. Re:People don't suck, corporations and the rich do on Microsoft Demands Removal Of Longhorn Images · · Score: 2, Insightful
    Seriously, why would you say people suck because of what MS does?

    People's suckage has nothing to do with MS. People manage to suck plenty all by themselves. You have obviously never worked in retail where you can see the masses up close and personal.

  2. In a related story... on Airbus A380 Completes Maiden Test Flight · · Score: 0, Flamebait
    ... the Bush administration has put in an order to upgrade Airforce 1 with an A380 to impress his Saudi buddies when he flies into town.

  3. Re:re-invent on George Lucas Struggles to Reinvent Himself · · Score: 1
    Definition of reinvent
    1. To make over completely
    2. To bring back into existence or use
    3. To completely screw over

  4. Re:Nuclear Energy on Stewart Brand on 'Environmental Heresies' · · Score: 1
    The only problem I see with Nuclear power is what to do with the waste. It seems to me that we should build the plants next to Yucca Mountain type facilities and use the national grid to transmit power to everywhere. Also it should be illegal to transmit power over the border or at the very least tax the hell out of it to provide an incentive to sell it domestically.

  5. Re:how he'll pull this off on Opera CEO Prepares to Swim across the Atlantic · · Score: 4, Funny
    charter an aircraft big enough to put a large water tank inside, and swim in the tank while the aircraft is flying to Iceland and thence to North America.

    I would hardly consider a hot tub with 3 hot flight attendents "swimming". But maybe that's how he got the idea past the wife.

  6. New shell in the works on Modular PC Handtop Review · · Score: 3, Funny
    The Dawson's Creek Trapper Keeper

  7. Suits are coming back on Paul Graham on PR · · Score: 1
    I was in a mens store just recently and the sales guy told me so. If anyone should know he should so it must be true.

  8. Torvalds was then quoted as saying on Torvalds Unveils New Linux Control System · · Score: 2, Funny
    "Hey BitKeeper, you Git"

  9. Is it honest? on Indy: Auto-Discover Free Music to Download · · Score: 4, Funny
    What I mean is if no one wants to listen to an artist's music, will it tell that artist, "I'm sorry but you suck, have a nice day". Or will it instead find pity listeners.

  10. Simple on What Makes a Good Design Document? · · Score: 1
    A document that accurately specifies what the customer needs as opposed to what they asked for.

  11. Duh on Site for Moon Base Determined · · Score: 2, Funny
    Here on earth, when we say that the temperature is so many degrees, we are talking about the air temperature. Since there is no atmosphere on the moon, how are those temperature readings to be interpreted?

    Obviously it is the temperature of the vacuum.

  12. Re: It can be done now on Gordon Moore: Moore's Law is Dead · · Score: 4, Funny
    what good would a system with a hundred billion neurons be other than to sit and vegetate?

    I guess nothing. Remove the feeding tube.

  13. Interesting on Global DNA Project to Study Human Ancestry · · Score: 5, Funny
    I can't wait for them to discover that humans started their migration 5,000 years ago when they were chased out of eden by the dinosaurs.

  14. Re:differences? on IBM Says its Future is in Services, Not Goods · · Score: 1
    I feel that in IT, in most cases, services are the goods.

    Without goods, the services have no where to run.

  15. Re:Coming soon on /. on Mapping the Mind · · Score: 1
    Google launches a new service the "Google map of your mind"! Find out what you are really thinking, zoom in on areas of interest, let your friends know where they stand in your mind!

    Maybe it can help me figure out where I left my car keys.

  16. YEA!!!!! on Microsoft Collaborates On Child Porn Buster · · Score: 4, Funny
    This is great. Microsoft is adopting Open Source. Now if they will just stop writing their software in binary.

  17. Hold on a minute on Should Nanotech Be Regulated? · · Score: 0
    Wait while I book passage off this rock.... OK, you are now free to destroy the planet. See ya.

  18. Re:It's as easy as point-and-click on AOL Enters the VoIP market · · Score: 2, Interesting
    So, when the phone rings, will it play "You've got telephone"?

    More like "You've got telemarketers". I believe VOIP is not covered by the do not call list.

  19. Re:So, let the *sucks.com race begin on Company Name in URL Not Copyright Infringement · · Score: 1
    but be warned, companies will still threaten suits for trade defamation if they find disparaging remarks about them or their products on the web

    Because *sucks.com is not defamating?

  20. Transistors move data? on A Plasmonic Revolution for Computer Chips? · · Score: 4, Insightful
    Today, we're using basically two ways to move data in our computers: transistors carry small amounts of data and are extremely small

    I don't know about your computer, but my computer uses wires to move data and transistors to process said data. I don't see how one can compare transistors to fiber optic cables.

  21. GO TEAM ENTERPRISE!!!!! on Trey Parker and Matt Stone Save Enterprise · · Score: 1
    Have Hank and Dean Venture joined the crew of Enterprise?

  22. Re:First Post on GeNToo - Gentoo on the NT Kernel · · Score: 1
    I think everyone is just a little bit tired of this.

    Not me. I think it's wicked funny.

  23. Good News on Microsoft Porting SQL Server To New Platforms · · Score: 4, Funny
    Now everyone can experience MS Fecal Server. Ya know, MySQL's greatest flaw is the lack of a right click properties. I mean, how are you supposed to admin the thing?

  24. Re:It's irresponsible to sell this iCopulate... on iCopulate Romances iPods, Executive Pong · · Score: 1
    without any form of virus protection available

    To bundle iCopulate with iCondom would be a violation of anti-trust laws and stifle inovation.

  25. Re:This is just screaming for it..... on Brain-Implanted Chips Allow Control of Technology · · Score: 1
    I, for one, welcome our new Brain-implanted chip overlords.
