  1. uh, dude, that's horrible on Are You On Time To Work? · · Score: 1

    I think I could sleep in till 9 and noone would've noticed I wasn't at work, and I often bailed out a bit early if there was nothing to do. Of course, we didn't have to clock in, we just got paid the same regardless of our actual in/out times, unless we took a day off of course.

    This meant I was never stressed about time, and could focus on more important issues like debugging and testing.

    You mean AA is a double pointer?

    ROFL, this joke never gets old.

  5. aha! on MIT Releases Subpoenaed Student's Info · · Score: 4, Funny

    "In particular, on June 27, at the time of the alleged infringement, I was in Romania."

    So that means he's actually under the authority of the Romanian Industry and Art Association right?

  6. Obligitory Seinfeld Quote on RIAA Sues 12-Year Old Girl · · Score: 1

    Kramer: 'Bad Chicken! Mess you up!'

    Kenny Rogers Roasters Asst. Manager: 'This isn't gonna be good for business.'

    Jerry: 'This isn't gonna be good for anybody.'

  7. oh boy... on Electronic Voting: The Other Side of the Story · · Score: 2, Funny

    Why do I have the feeling that a mysterious man known as 'Cowboy Neal' would win every election.

  8. Correlation != Causation on Videogames Affirm Violence Among Kids? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Something tells me that these kids have issues, and thus see the violence as a way to express themselves, instead of holding it in.

    So the cause of the violence is likely something else, because a healthy child would not be influenced because the child knows how to deal with his anger productivly.

    So instead of barring videogames, they might try understanding what haunts their children.

  9. Oregon Trail on Computer Game Improves Children's Hearing · · Score: 4, Funny

    You have killed 942 pounds of meat.

    You can carry 100 pounds back to your wagon.

  10. Now wait a minute on Everquest Connection Alleged In Child Death · · Score: 1

    I'm afraid that eventually many more people will be hurt or even killed by this 'service'

    Characters die in raids all the time, that's why there are clerics who can raise dead. I don't understand what the problem is. Just bug Rumpkin and he'll take care of it.

  11. Re:Imagine... on World's Biggest Battery Switched On in Alaska · · Score: 1

    That's no problem at all. We'll just build a giant energizer wolf to eat the bunny.

  12. Exactly. on Joining the ACLU? · · Score: 1

    Nail on the head.

  13. Decoration! on How Do You Store Your CDs? · · Score: 1

    Simply paste them to your walls! This way not only will it lighten up your drab room, but they will be easy to access.

    Here's a tip: You can make patterns with the solid sides, or block them together to make a mirror with the other!

  14. hmm on Use a Honeypot, Go to Prison? · · Score: 1

    So Homeland Security is more important than Home Security? ;-)

    Better unlock my door for the Feds!

  15. Re:Just because you like computers... on Computing's Lost Allure · · Score: 1

    What makes me happy is what I like about computers is programming.

    I could care less about hardware, or how you can soup up your computer to display mega graphics.

    What I love is problem solving with computers (programming).

    If you're like me, you do a little dance of joy every time you fix that bug the team's been working on for the last few hours.

  16. mentality not the religion on Buddhists Really Are Happier · · Score: 4, Insightful

    These findings would be better stated as 'calm and stressless lifestyle is happier'. It has nothing to do with religion, just that fact that Buddhists are smart enough not to get worked up over stupid things like getting cut off in traffic or being late to a meeting.

    Or even simpler, as was taught when I was younger: Don't worry, be happy.

  17. Re:Freedom 'Bots on Book-Digitizing Robots · · Score: 4, Funny

    Would it make a difference for those who now have their minds closed to the idea of democracy?

    Are you talking about the US Government here?

  18. Re:The situation's aren't comparable. on RIAA vs The Economy · · Score: 1

    If I copy something of yours we both have it, and you have lost nothing.

    Great statement. The false assumption is that if it was not copied, we would have paid for it.

    Intellectual property should not apply to everything. So long as you're given credit, then ideas which are availiable to the public in any way should be easily and cheaply accessible by the public. If I know the formula for Slurdge toothpaste, good for me. If someone else figures it out by analyzing it, then I shouldn't retain a monopoly on it, but just retain the credit for it. If I go out of business, it's my fault for not selling the formula and making profit before someone figured it out. (though I'm sure any respectable toothpaste company would hire me.)

  19. Re:Please explain on Pentagon Soft-Pedals Total Information Awareness · · Score: 1

    Why are you letting them do this to you?

    Last I checked, they didn't ask my permission... If I get pissed, I always gotta wait a few years before I can lay my .00001% of a smackdown on my elected representative, whom I likely didn't vote for anyway.

  20. Re:Promises on Pentagon Soft-Pedals Total Information Awareness · · Score: 2, Insightful

    And the evildoers are still the muslums right? So I'm okay and can favor this law? Good.

  21. Re:It's not about class on Washington State Restricts Anti-Cop Videogames · · Score: 1

    There's no evidence that "anti-police" rap songs or video games "condition" kids to think it's okay to kill a police officer.

    However, if you made me watch enough Barney shows, I think I'd kill anyone to escape such an existance.

  22. Here it is! on Have You Seen This Segway? · · Score: 1, Funny

    I dunno, most of our elected officials seem chimp-like to me, what with their 'mud'-slingling tactics.
