  1. Re:Am I reading this right? on USPS Irradiation Damages Electronics · · Score: 0

    It's for a reason that they call him Michael the Nifty.

  2. And a special "heartless insensity" award for... on Wind Tunnel for Birds · · Score: 0

    ... using the phrase "window(s) on the world" in an article talking about flying stuff.

  3. Re:Backwards compatible? on New GPS Standard Published · · Score: 0, Flamebait
    Suddenly sanctions against country X means that planes there can't fly, lost puppies can't be found, and GPS tied 911 type services fail.

    Ya mean, that the planes would fly through between the towers instead of hitting them? And what's the bit about the lost puppy? The puppy is certainly easyer to find on the 83th floor, rather than in a large pile of rubble.

  4. Michael is at it again! on Mandrake Linux Gamer Edition · · Score: 1

    Talking about shiny new games and geek toys in the same sentence as mentioning November 9th! Don't you know that Europeans write the day before the month, you heartless moron! I'm sure that the French will be more busy to mop up what'll be left of the Tour Montparnasse than to drool over the new Mandrake release.

  5. After "Bert is Evil", do we now have "Tux is Evil" on Esoteric Programming Languages · · Score: 1
    Heard it on the radio this morning: After The Sun, NBC, and the NYT, now Microsoft have received a "letter with a suspicious white powder" too. Apparently, some people think that Sircam, Code Red and Nimda are no longer enough to fight against the monopolist, and have decided to take this to the biological arena. As usual, the authorities' advice is "don't open any suspicious mail", except this time they mean snail mail.

    More here on CNN (Scroll down to "Reno case has Malaysia link"), BBC (Scroll down to Cheney's photo), and Msnbc.

    Experts are poring over posters shown at pro-Bin-Laden protests, but so far no hidden tux has been spotted in any of them...

  6. Re:Where's Michael? on US Starts Attacking Afghanistan · · Score: 1

    Oh, look at those nifty cruise missiles transforming the Afghan mountains in a cool parking lot! Groovy! When will an eye-popping flash animation of these gorgeous fireworks be available?

  7. Re:Sounds cool... on Peer-to-Peer Cellular · · Score: 1

    Even if you are only talking about hypothical tragedies (but how hypothetical really, after the events on NYC), I'd rather avoid the use of happy-happy words such as "cool". Please show some respect for the victims!

  8. Incredibly levity of being on Pocket PC 2002 · · Score: 1

    What? There are innocent Palm Pilots being killed, and you describe this atrocity with words such as "new", "pretty", and "mighty". Please watch your vocabulary!

  9. Oh, look at these nifty corpses! on Raising the Kursk · · Score: 1
    A pretty good article, with a nifty flash animation which gives some notion of the scope of this engineering feat

    Sure. Raising 118 dead sailors from their eerie grave is way nifty. Didn't we address this before, and before?
