  1. Re:ole bill orgot a few on EU Releases Microsoft Antitrust Report · · Score: 1

    The lack of compiling kernels the lack of playing hunt that package the huge libary of games "yeah windows really sucks huh"

    Ahh... the old "huge library of games" argument. Because, as anyone knows, all the discriminating IT professional cares about (as opposed to, say, some random 14-year-old kid on Slashdot who forgets to hit the 'f' key some times) is playing games.

  2. Re:Script Excerpts on Berman Confirms Star Trek Prequel Film Project · · Score: 3, Funny

    Ahh.. you mean like the Ballad of Bilbo Baggins is goatse to *my* ears?

  3. Re:Aren't Americans frustrated? on California Grills Diebold Over E-Voting Foul-Ups · · Score: 1

    Exporting democracy to Iraq is fine... as long as the e-voting there is run by the new Iraq LUG.

  4. Re:Republicans Hate Workers on IT Workers Not Eligible for Overtime in New Rules · · Score: 1

    Ah crap, you're right. I never realized how much self-loathing I've had pent up for so long. As a dutiful worker-hating republican, I know realize I have an obligation to quit my job so I can hate all the rest of you pinko-commie "workers". Ha! Gimme summa dat guv'ment cheese.

    PS: RTFA and ignore the headline. Jeez...

  5. Re:Revival of obligatory remark on New Internet Speed Record · · Score: 2, Funny

    In Soviet Russia, the internet downloads YOU.

    (couldn't help it...I haven't seen any good ones recently)


    Yeah, neither have I. Fa fa fa!!!

  6. Re:Fashion in Sci Fi on New Darth Vader Costume Revealed in upcoming DVDs · · Score: 1

    I was MOST ok with the princess's fashion in the third one.

    Oh wait... we AREN'T talking about the originals?

    Shucks, I still wanna see hot grits in a steel bikini.

  7. Re:EASIER SETUP! on Groklaw Tries Their Own Linux Usability Study · · Score: 1

    People who need battery insertion instructions don't need OS installation instructions... they need a smart friend to do it for them. And it doesn't matter whether its Linux or XP, for that matter. My "average user" friends do not install Windows XP; they call me and get me to do it. My "average user" friends who run Linux have me install Gentoo, Slack, or whatever else they feel installing that week.

    So, I don't give a crap about making it easier for people that are just going to call me and have me do it anyway.

    Just make it easier for me.

  8. Re:Precedent? on Injunction to Enforce GPL · · Score: 1

    I thought the Berne Convention established something to this effect.

  9. That's if the cops are honest... on Stoplights to Mete Out Punishment? · · Score: 1

    I was pulled over in Harlem, GA at 3 am for doing 50 in a 35. I was doing 30. I am not insane; I really was doing 30. And I could have stood on the hood of my car and pissed on a 50 mph sign.

  10. Whoops... I correct myself. on China Blocks Typepad, Prompts Weblog Blackout · · Score: 1


    Umm... yes. Care to give examples of government mass repression of free speech?

    Sorry, Ackhpht, I must eat my own hat. I had momentarily forgotten we weren't allowed to mention God on public property anymore.

    Umm... yes. Care to give examples of government mass repression of free speech?

    Ok... do you even have an anecdote of censoring? Not involving UFO's?

    I think not.

  12. Regarding your "space patents" on Mars Terraforming Debate · · Score: 1

    Then, of course, there will be all those mars patents to file.

    I'm allready getting ready to a couple. The first relates to the use of circular device mounted on a central pivot to ease the problem of transport over the martian surface,


    I'm sorry, I've already patented all "round objects in space exploration." Perhaps we can come to a licensing agreement, though.

    whilst the second one is all about the application of temperature elevated hydrogen hydoxide in space colonization.

    Do you mean dihydrogen monoxide? Sorry, too much prior art.

  13. Don't forget... on What Would The World Be Like Without Microsoft? · · Score: 1

    Don't forget all those GS II Oregon Trail, Where in the USA/World/Time is Carmen Sandiego, Sim Earth (ah, my fav, although it never ran on GS II).

  14. Re:Ah, I see how it works... on Chainsaw-wielding Robotic Submarine · · Score: 0

    No one cares when you point out the obvious.

    You have completely demoralized me. I'm going to bed now.

  15. Ah, I see how it works... on Chainsaw-wielding Robotic Submarine · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    All I have to do is quote funny movies/shows/songs when PROMPTED TO by the freakin' ARTICLE SUBMISSION and BING!!! Look Ma, I'm a karma-whore! Don't look at me, I'm just WHORING for some KARMA. Not actually trying to contribute or anything... just here to WHORE for some KARMA!

    Ok, mods! Burn it! BURN THAT KARMA, BABY!!!! YEEEAH!

  16. Re:Hah! on Ballmer On Microsoft's Search Goofs · · Score: 5, Insightful

    No need. Just use Mozilla and say, "I will make sure I never see a Microsoft ad again!"

    Or _any_ ad for that matter.

  17. Re:Microsoft Office has no threat of viral infecti on Why You Should Choose MS Office Over OO.org · · Score: 1

    In 1997, I bought a computer bundled with MS Works that was, in fact, preinfected with a template virus.

    Way to go, Microsoft.

  18. Re:OpenOffice Support? on SVG And The Free Desktop(s) · · Score: 1

    The problem, in this case, is not SVG. It's OpenOffice. They need to support SVG (and I'm sure they will, the year after Microsoft does).

    PS: I use OO.o exclusively, just calling it fairly.

  19. Re:This one I could believe (almost :-) on 'Civilization on Mars' Claims Debunked · · Score: 1

    Ummm, yeah...

    Let's take a count:

    All countries with Jedi as a recognized religion raise your hand, please.

  20. But you gotta admit... on Build a Robot out of a Car? · · Score: 1

    Yeah, it was all a marketing ploy. But fact is, it was prety darn creative, well-executed, and mildly successful. I say hats off to Mini's marketing department. Certainly more entertaining than the "Hot Pockets" jingle on TV.

  21. No, but maybe the NMAP team will... on USENIX Responds to SCO; Fyodor Pulls NMap · · Score: 2, Interesting

    ...since, after all, USENIX didn't write NMAP. ;)

    I wish there were only some way to mod (-1, Funny).

  23. It's not long until... on Interplanetary Network (IPN) Tested · · Score: 1

    It's not long until some hacker starts using Spirit as a porn server. After all, wherever there is internet, there is porn.

    Only question now is, will it be imported, or native?

  24. Lucky you... on Meet Linux Kernel 2.6.2, 'Feisty Dunnart' · · Score: 1

    I'm still compiling KDE 2.0.

  25. What kind of students were they? on Darl Goes to Harvard · · Score: 5, Funny

    Law or CS students? Either way, he should've been laughed off stage.

    Maybe he was speaking to fashion merchandising students (it is a nice suit, after all).
