  1. Re:100:1 ? I don't think so... on ZeoSync Makes Claim of Compression Breakthrough · · Score: 1

    All the data in the universe compresses into the number 42.

  2. Re:It won't fail because it charges money on Preview the New Napster · · Score: 1

    I still haven't finished listening to all the mp3's I downloaded during the feeding frenzy last days of napster, why would I need to pay money for more mp3's?

  3. Re:Erosion on DVD Player Chipsets To Support Windows Media Files · · Score: 1

    So... you'd only be able to rip the DVD to Divx format 10 times before it turns into a coaster. Looks like i'll be replacing all my failed burn cd-r coasters then!

  4. Dont believe the hype... on The Hype of the Rings · · Score: 5, Funny

    I just hope they didn't recycle Jar Jar Binks and use him as Gollum.

  5. X - Ray Specs on Quantum Holography · · Score: 4, Funny

    Perhaps somone will be able to make a pair of X-RAY specs that actually work! :)

  6. Physics' New War... on Physicists War Over a Unified Theory · · Score: 1, Funny

    If the solid-state physicists don't stand up and fight, then the particle physicists have already won...

  7. Osama Bin Laden and BIll Gates on CA Court: Message Boards Are Opinions, Not Facts · · Score: 0

    Oh good, I guess this means I can now say that Osama Bin Laden and Bill Gates are twin brothers, and I won't get sued for it :)

  8. Taliban copy protection system on BMG Backs Down Over Copy-Protected CD · · Score: 0

    The Taliban had an effective method of preventing people from copying cd's... Unfortunately it also meant never listening to CD's (or tapes or radio or TV) ever again.

  9. Stupid looking monitor on Concept PC 2001 · · Score: 0

    That monitor looks like one of those old (pre-remote) tv's complete with separate dial for UHF and VHF stations

  10. Re:I remember this on Monster European Environmental Satellite · · Score: 0

    I can't see that happening, like, i mean, micro$oft programs are always so rock-solid reliable.

  11. Duct tape on USNA "Budget" Satellite Launched and Functioning · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Academy students and professors hoped the satellite would work for a month, given that many of the parts they used have no history of operating in space. But since the satellite was launched from Kodiak, Alaska, on Sept. 30, it has shown no signs of degrading, and the group is hoping the satellite will work at least another year and maybe another five.

    Good thing they used the highest grade of duct tape available, eh?

  12. Shit Talker on cell phone on Text-to-Speech on a Low-Power Chip · · Score: 1

    I'll be happy as long as it comes with a copy of Shit Talker built into the phone. I envision a bold new era of prank calls...

  13. Nifty robot... on Humanoid Powered by Linux · · Score: 1

    ...but does it transform into a motorcycle and know kung fu?

  14. Re:1984 Anyone? on Microsoft Edits English · · Score: 1

    Microsoft doubleplus good.

  15. It doesn't render properly on IE either.... on MSN Blocks Mozilla, Other Browsers [updated] · · Score: 1

    ...oh wait, sorry, It's just that the new MSN site looks like complete CRAP (just like the changes to hotmail a month or two ago) I guess I should get used to an OS that looks like it was designed for 2 year olds.

  16. Fuel cells, eh? on Motorola Makes Gasoline Powered Cell Phones · · Score: 1

    Sure beats my idea of attaching a lawnmower engine and generator to a cell phone!
