  1. Zire71 on Commodore 64 Emulator For Your Palm Pilot · · Score: 5, Funny
    I've just installed it on my Zire 71 and it works a treat. It has an Arm processor and Palm OS 5.2.1.

    Sure does take me back. Once again I can do...

    20 GOTO 10

    Ssh, don't tell anyone.

  6. Pong? on Memory Activity LEDs · · Score: 5, Funny

    With enough banks of this RAM will the resolution be enough to play Pong?

  7. Add robot kids on New AIBO - Meet the ERS-7 · · Score: 4, Funny

    One of these, some robots kids and my family is complete.

  8. Re:Who is Mar? on A Traveler's Guide To Mars · · Score: 1

    The next book will be a "Guide to Visiting Grandma's".

  9. Re:I'm waiting for on What's Always Next? · · Score: 1

    2D TV is almost here. TVs are getting thinner all the time.

  10. Eh? on Facial Recognition Fails in Boston, Too · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Who said that?

  11. Playing well = cheating on Optical Recognition System To Foil Card Counting? · · Score: 1

    So a good player is automatically a cheater? Doesn't sound fair too me.

  12. What will it allow on Cognitive Machines Help Decision-Making · · Score: 3, Funny

    Will this machine allow me to install Windows on my PC?

  13. Re:Get me a pound of that! on Chemical Element 110 To Be Named · · Score: 1
    A pound of it won't last too long. Definately wouldn't last through shipping.

    Suggest you make your own fresh batch. Receipe is here.

  14. Re:I say... on Deregulation and Niagara Mohawk - Is There a Story? · · Score: 1

    I'm going to steal wind up radios before those new fangled Opterons. At least I'll be able to use them!

  15. Re:What if I do not use SCO code? on OSDL Releases Q&A on SCO Legal Actions · · Score: 1
    As the Q&A explains, the case is SCO vs IBM. If IBM pay up a court is unlikely to allow SCO to also persue users of Linux.

    I'm convinced that after the release in the court of which lines of code are tainted, a workaround SCO free Linux kernel will be available before the court case it over.

  16. Re:Ice melting not the problem on Global Warming To Leave North Pole Ice-Free · · Score: 1
    More humidity leading to more clouds so more sun light reflected so lower global temperatures.

    Hard to prove with atmospheric modelling if this will really be the case.

  17. Re:Ice melting not the problem on Global Warming To Leave North Pole Ice-Free · · Score: 5, Informative

    Unlike the North Pole where the ice floats on the sea Antartica is a big land mass with lots of ice on top. If the Antartic ice melts, sea levels will rise.

  18. Re:Isn't water denser than ice?? on Global Warming To Leave North Pole Ice-Free · · Score: 1
    The weight of water displaced by the floating ice is equal to the weight of the floating ice. When the floating ice melts it occupies a smaller volume that is exactly equal to the volume of the water it was displacing.

    There is a drop in volume and drop in height at the North Pole but no change in sea level. Gettit?

    It is the South Pole we need to worry about where the ice sits on land. If that melts it will add to the sea volume.

  19. Re:Stupid Question on Virginia Begins to Worry About Voting Machines · · Score: 5, Interesting
    I completely agree.

    I don't know why someone is trying to invent these anyway. What is wrong with an ATM system as a template? Send every voter an ATM card that is one vote in credit. Surely we view ATMs as secure?

  20. Head cold? on Kiddie Porn - The Virus Did It · · Score: 3, Funny

    So the tissues by the keyboard were because you had a virus?

  21. UK mail on U.S. Postal Service To Develop 'Intelligent Mail' · · Score: 5, Interesting
    Mail in the UK often bears red dotted bar code that give key info to automated readers on where the letter is supposed to be going. The dots get put there by an OCR reader and saves having to re-OCR everything.

    Not sure how you are going to identify the sender AND have postboxes where anyone can post a letter.

  22. Dated on Find Out About the Future of Science · · Score: 0
    Science with a build in use before date.

    I like it.

  23. Transistor stats on AMD, Transmeta Edge Up In Market Share · · Score: 4, Funny
    Are these numbers in dollars or processors?

    I guess Intel would increase market share if we get stats on number of transistors sold.

  24. Lawyers... on Florida Citizens' Anti-trust Payout Dwarfed By Lawyers' · · Score: 3, Insightful
    Headline : Lawyers Get Overpaid SHOCK.

    Too many lawyer jokes can be inserted here.

    So how do we define "now"?
