  1. Muad'DIB! on Sonic 'Lasers' to be Deployed in Hurricane Region · · Score: 1

    Non-lethal until they find out that their name is a killing word.

  2. Look to the westerns for the answer. on Pokerbots Making Online Players Sad · · Score: 2, Funny

    This can only be solved in one way. Impliment a networked FPS engine for knocking over the server and pulling out virtual Derringers when cheating is suspected.

  3. Re:Not Dot Net eather on FedEx Cracks Down on Box Furniture, Citing DMCA · · Score: 1

    With how this guy is getting fucked by FedEx, clearly the only option is .cx.

  4. Re:earth? on New International Serenity Trailer Released · · Score: 1

    Nah. In the Firefly universe, Earth got used up a long time ago. What you probably saw was one of the heavily developed Core Worlds. They're all terraformed.

  5. Boing's LiveJournal on Blogging For Paychecks · · Score: 1

    At last, we can know what the Anime Hair Color of the 757 is.

  6. If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a buyout. on Google Acquires Dodgeball · · Score: 1

    Now that Google acquired Dodgeball, does that mean one of the other team's players is out and Google gets one back?

  7. Re:OS on the screen on Minority Report UI For The Military · · Score: 1

    No, they just use the integrated spellchecker service in OS X and forgot to doublecheck. :-D

  8. Laser LDS, man. on Laser Injures Delta Pilot's Eye · · Score: 1

    Don't screw with the the Mormons, I guess.

  9. Re:Armour on Invulnerable, Waterproof PDA · · Score: 1

    You've won this round, Mr. Bond...

    *shakes fist and pets cat*

  10. Are you pondering... on Smarter Children Through Food Supplements · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    ...what I'm pondering, Pinky?

  11. Re:It's already happened. on Time's Up: 2^30 Seconds Since 1970 · · Score: 2, Informative

    Reset your power manager (you can find out how for your specific model on Apple's site), and then leave your 'book to charge fully overnight. Probably just a corrupted pmu setting. It's happened before on mine and many of the ones I worked on back when doing Apple service.

  12. Re:Convert iTunes DRM to Mp3 on iTunes 4.2 and QuickTime 6.5 · · Score: 1

    No VPC needed. WireTap by Ambrosia Software works great. Free too. Use responsibly, kids.

  13. Re:Martha on Wal-Mart to Launch Online Music Store · · Score: 1

    Has Martha signed with Death Row Records yet?

    Fuck the po-lice. It's a good thing.

  14. Pill, Microchip, what's the diff? on Microchip Could Replace Pills · · Score: 1

    Really, the way this is being implimented, how is it exactly different from pills anyway?

  15. Re:Sad news ... Stephen King is dead at 55 on Mood-Sensing Computer · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    Can someone back this up with a news link? I can't find any reference to it anywhere.

    Thanks.

  16. Stop hittin yourself! on Microsoft's Worst Enemy: Themselves · · Score: 1

    I'm confused now.

    Does this mean that if one side were to win, Microsofts threatens to have a monopoly over itself?

  17. Encryption? on Fixing Wireless Security By Pulling The Plug · · Score: 1

    Now, could be my ADD in action, but I saw NOWHERE in the article any mention of WAP encryption. I know that 64-bit encryption has proven fairly crackable in the past to anyone who has the real knowhow, but what of 128? Granted, it's been a while since I've really paid attention to the latest and greatest in 802.11 breaking, but is this really a hard topic?

    What do Japanese officials have to say for encrypted wireless networks?

  18. Damn good Seattle Source on Low Tech Toys? · · Score: 1

    Well, for those readers in Seattle, there's an awesome place I found for all the great old school stuff. Imagination Toys, there's one in Wallingford Center, and I believe in Ballard. They have everything, Legos, Brio trains, kaliaedescopes, costume stuff, educational toys, they have the WORKS.

    It's like all the quality stuff from my childhood crammed into one place. It rocks.

  19. Re:IN SOVIET RUSSIA... on Linux Port of Disciples 2 Announced · · Score: 1

    I couldn't resist... forgive me...

    In Soviet Russia, all your inane meme are belong to us!

    (For great redundancy!)

  20. Making the Tech job market harder? on DIRECTV Broadband Shuts Down · · Score: 3, Interesting

    So, how large was their employee base?

    What does this bode for folks in nearby cities (like Seattle, for example) who are currently battling an already shitty tech market?

    -Unemployed in Seattle

  21. Stars can be misleading on Should You Trust Website Customer Reviews? · · Score: 1

    Well, I think mostly the best way to "trust" a customer review is not base it on the stars they put up, but put more weight in how well thought out, clear and concise the review is. What would probably improve things is a moderation system similar to this one. I've met more than a few trolls that think twice before stirring up shit or post randomly if they realize that if they act stupid, they'll likely simply be ignored. Just an idea.

  22. Mmmmm on Terra Soft Reveals Linux/PPC Hardware Solution · · Score: 1

    I was thinking about going to the trouble to upgrade from my sturdy, but old PowerMac 7500 running YDL to an Intel box running Red Hat 8, but damn, Terra Soft has me convinced to stay on board.

    Good show guys.
