  1. Re:It's called "suspension of disbelief" on Sci-Fi Movies and 'Bad Science' · · Score: 1
    As my roommate always says:

    "I agreed to suspend my disbelief, not hang it."

  2. Make smore sense... on Tridgell Taking Samba Beyond POSIX · · Score: 5, Funny

    When I first read the headline, I thought that it said "Trogdor Taking Samba Beyond POSIX." I thought "Why would the burninator bother with this? Doesn't he have villages to burninate?" Yeah. I'll go ahead and read the article now...

  3. Re:Apple engineering on Baked Apple · · Score: 1

    Or you could get like 2 Intel machines for about the same price and not beat the crap outta 'em. I mean, yeah it's pretty respectible that a computer still runs after dropping it off a roof, but how often is that going to happen?

  4. Good. on Dell Dropping The Floppy · · Score: 1

    I say that if we are to move forward someone has to come up with a way to replace old technology. If Dell can make it so that I never have to use a floppy again, I say right on. Of course, every system will have to have a CD-RW so that boot disks can be made. But for everything else, use a USB keychain. They hold more than a floppy, are smaller than a floppy, and faster than a floppy. Some giant has to come along to upgrade a standard. Go Dell!

  5. Odd move for Microsoft... on Microsoft Tries a "Switch" Campaign · · Score: 1

    First they steal the software, now they're stealing the marketing. O well, at least they make some improvements after the theft. O wait....

  6. O man.... on PCs Losing Out as a Gaming Platform? · · Score: 1

    Humor from Penny Arcade. :-)

  7. So, what is everyone using now? on NeoNapster's NeoAudio Rips Off CDex · · Score: 1

    Napster's long since dead, Morpheus is also gone. Neonapster is crazy spyware. So, are there any good file sharing applications out there now? I tried a few flavors of Gnuetella about a year ago, but it wasn't very encouraging.

  8. Re:Huh? Bums not people? on Spelunking in Las Vegas · · Score: 1

    Maybe Hobo Sapiens? (ducks and runs for cover)

  9. Re:Hopefully... on Space Exploration Act of 2002 · · Score: 2, Informative

    It's a reference to "The Tick." In one episode, the bad guy, who was named Chairface Chippendale (he was a buff guy with a chair for a head), wanted to make the world know who he was, so he decided to write his name on the moon. Luckily, the Tick stopped him ... just not in time.

  10. hmmm... on Workstations 'Dirtier Than Toilets' · · Score: 1, Funny

    "The premise of the study was to find the germiest place in the workplace," said Chuck Gerba, who headed the study. And you thought that you had a bad job.

  11. Re:Yeah right on Is The Net At Fault For Illegal Filesharing? · · Score: 0, Troll

    No no no. Arkansaw is AR. Oklahomo is OK.

  12. Re:Snnnnnoooooree.....zzzzzzz on Alan Cox Interview · · Score: 1

    Who is Alan Ive? Sounds like a poet of some sort.
