  1. Re:* sigh * on Weta Digital Grows Cluster · · Score: 4, Funny

    Things have improved since TRON

    Except Jeff Bridges' acting

  2. Security Through Obscurity is my motto on U.S. Cybersecurity Not So Secure? · · Score: 5, Funny

    I keep all my usernames/passwords on a Geocities hosted site.

  3. "(Don't Fear) the Reaper" TCP/IP Encoding on TCP/IP Speakers · · Score: 1

    Cow bell will be replaced with a system bell

  4. Aimed at dead & obsolete hardware? on The Argument for Crackable Media · · Score: 5, Funny

    They should call it the Sega Act

  5. Re:Shrinking ice? On Earth or Mars? on ESA Cryosat Launch Reported Failure · · Score: 1

    Right, because of course, everything that happens on Mars must be directly parallel to what happens on Earth. So if the ice caps on Mars are shrinking, then it MUST mean that the ice caps on the Earth are shrinking for the same reason.

    Well smart guy, if the sun increased it's solar output, then yes the effects would be reflected on both planets.

  6. Re:MS keeps innovating in their spin on Microsoft's Unique Innovation · · Score: 1

    ... so are you saying that Bernie Eccelstone and Bill Gates are one in the same person?

  7. Frequent Rebooting on Microsoft's Unique Innovation · · Score: 5, Funny

    I don't remember having to reboot as much with other platforms ... I guess that's sort of an innovation

  8. Screw You EU ... on EU, UN to Wrestle Internet Control From US · · Score: 3, Funny

    We are not giving up control of Gopherspace!

  9. Re:Why the web interface? on Google Declares War on Microsoft · · Score: 1

    Why doesn't Google partner with Sun to release the product in the retail and OEM markets?

    This is more of a move for the corporate enterprise enviroment. They'll sell Google/Sun SO appliances just like Google corportate search. Browser integration, Google's name, Sun hardware, cost advante = serious threat to MS Office.

  10. Re:Why TF did I go to school? on Blog Network to Sell For $20 Million Plus · · Score: 1

    Anybody else depressed that people make a lot of money doing stupid things?

    This is the sort of "fictional wealth" created in economies with fiat based currencies.

  11. ED-209 on South Korea Introducing Robotic Teachers · · Score: 2, Funny

    "Put down your spit-ball gun, you have 20 seconds to comply!"

  12. I hate the term "Dobsonian" on NASA Takes Step Forward In Planet Finding · · Score: 2, Informative

    Dobson didn't invent anything! Alt-Az mounts have been around for hundreds of years! At least say you have a 8" NEWTONIAN on a Dobsonian mount!

  13. Re:More of our Constitution erodes on States Push to Collect Online Sales Tax · · Score: 1

    But for some reason, could it be greed?!

    The states are basically fucked because they've made pension and other benefit promises that they won't be able to keep once the babyboomers start retiring in bulk. Expect more of these schemes in the coming years as the bills come due.

  14. No way man! on StarOffice 8 May Be MS Office Killer · · Score: 5, Funny

    MS XML will keep MS Office on top for years to come!

  15. 2 Things on Hurricane Relief - What Would You Bring? · · Score: 1

    1. Swiss Army Knife (or a Leatherman) 2. Fresnel Lens

  16. Re:The Pictures on Giant Squid Caught on Film · · Score: 5, Funny

    Here you go giant squid

  17. mmmmm ... calamari on Giant Squid Caught on Film · · Score: 5, Funny

    served with a little butter, garlic and wedge of lemon

  18. Re:Pressure from oil interests? on Seattle Axes Monorail Project · · Score: 1

    Does anyone know if there was any pressure from the oil/petrol interests, overt or otherwise, to prevent this project from going forward?

    I doubt it at this point. The oil companies are basically stating that the world is running out (ex: Chevron's peak oil site, Beyond Petroleum ...)

  19. Re:What's deviant? on FBI Agents Put New Focus on Deviant Porn · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Furries ... hopefully they'll go after the furries!!

  20. Re:New wine, old bottle on NASA's New Shuttle · · Score: 1

    This mission is never going to happen. The national debt keeps mounting and at some point the IOUs will need to be paid. By 2015 the bulk of the baby boomers begin to retire and there won't be enough funds to pay that expense (not to mention all the government pensions and PIGC pensions that will need to be paid).

  21. Re:Butterface! on The New Face Lift · · Score: 1

    But seriously, people should just live with what they've got. We all eventually get old; we all eventually pass on. Wear what you've got with a smile and you'll do just fine.

    Yes, those are nice platitudes but being physically repulsive in our "style vs substance" economy can be limiting to one's career. Sales, management, consulting ... anything that requires "face time" with a customer will automatically put you at a disadvantage with your attractive coworkers.

    ... and even if you are providing a 100% greater service than anyone else on-site, that same client will still the snide comments about your appearance behind your back and then go invite your coworkers for happy hour while you toil away to make a deadline.

    (speaking from experience of course)

  22. Because AMD can't make a decent portable CPU ... on Why Apple Picked Intel Over AMD · · Score: 1, Redundant

    and more then half of all sales in '04 were laptop systems.

  23. Reboots on MS Upgrades To Be Smaller And More Frequent · · Score: 5, Funny

    Wonder if they have finally figured out a way to update the OS without performing a reboot.

  24. Re:Used for surgery, as a contraceptive? on Microrobot Developed at Dartmouth · · Score: 1

    My wife hit menopause fifteen years ago. So we can whoopdeedoo all day long. That is, if I can get my penis erect.

    Um, that is a bit too much info ... even for /.
