  1. Me too. on The Windows Security Nightmare · · Score: 1

    I'd rather just use your Mac, too. When can you bring it over? There is a catchy new pop song that I want to download from iTunes....

  2. Figures! on Build Your Own Stun Gun · · Score: 1

    Just my luck... I get the seat next to the guy with the red jumpsuit labeled TERRORIST.

  3. Re:How big was the file? on Mac Trojan Horse Disguised as Word 2004 · · Score: 1

    I imagine 2 scenarios for this trojan:

    1. It was a file only 28KB in size.
    2. It was a file 400MB in size.

    If it was #1, what would make you think that it's a valid file?
    If it was #2, what did the remaining 399.97MB contain?

  4. Reminds me of Apocalypse now... on Royal Bank of Canada Cashes Out of SCO; SCO Begins Layoffs · · Score: 3, Funny

    Utah. Shit. I'm still in Utah.

  5. You were right... on Excel Clone for Linux Now in Beta · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    It didn't last long.

  6. Re:Lets just hope on Comcast Fires TechTV Staff · · Score: 1

    There already is a show like that... It's called UPN Smackdown.

  7. Re:Umm on What Sex is Your Robot? · · Score: 3, Funny

    Do you think it would help me have fewer arguments with your wife?

  8. Re:Quite complex not actually on Will Novell Adopt The LTSP Project? · · Score: 1

    Ever hear of ZENWORKS? The keyword there is ZEN.
    It stands for Zero Effort Network.

    That's how simple it can get.

  9. Re:It sounds perfect for my library... on A Public Library's Linux Success Story · · Score: 1

    Speaking of legacy systems, the University of Minnesota's Library had an electronic lookup system called LUMINA. It has since evolved into it's web page at http://www.lib.umn.edu/. At first, I thought LUMIX was based off that old system instead of a combination of Luis and Mike...

  10. Re:My eight year old self would be pleased on Growing Teeth with Stem Cell Technology · · Score: 1

    And thanks to Lasik, you can sit as close to the TV as you like!

    It seems that modern technology is driven to just say "See, I told you" to the mothers of Generation X.

  11. Re:Does anyone have the Klingon translation... on Earthlings: Ugly Bags of Mostly Water · · Score: 1

    Is your Mom a Klingon?

  12. Re:However on Earthlings: Ugly Bags of Mostly Water · · Score: 1

    Of course not! They learn Binary.

  13. VM you say? on Tuning Linux VM swapping · · Score: 2, Insightful

    At what point does VM stop meaning Virtual Machine and start meaning Virtual Memory.

    Or is it just the Virtual "M"?

  14. Bad coding habits on BASIC Computer Language Turns 40 · · Score: 1

    You can blame basic all you want for bad coding habits, and you would be foolish to do so.

    Structurally, the flow control of basic (GOTOs and GOSUBS) is a LOT closer to x86 assembly language than any OO language. It's just the way the CPU was made.

    If the CPU developers throw away 40 years of chip design, and make an Object Oriented assembly language, then you can spout off about methods and functions being beter than GOTOs and GOSUBS.

  15. Re:Replacement parts? on Delorean Time Machine Replica Up For Auction · · Score: 1

    Forget it. The last guy that traveled to this timeline couldn't get replacement parts. He started emailing everyone he could get an address for, looking for a new dimensional generator.

    The emails seem to have stopped... I think he might have just given up, or he found a pron site.

  16. Do they Play OGG? on Montreal Parking Meters Run Linux · · Score: 1

    Yes, but you have to insert some money....

  17. Re:Its Too Easy To Fry! Well DUH! on Technology Makes New Cars Too Expensive to Fix · · Score: 1

    Stupid engineers! Keep the door chimes away from the stereo! There is no need to integrate them.
    The parts should be easily modular. It just makes good sense. Besides, who needs to hear "Door Ajar!" at 50db?

  18. Correction: on The Average PC is Infested with Spyware · · Score: 4, Funny

    The average EarthLink user's machine is infested with spyware.

    You can guess what the average AOL user's machine has.

  19. Hidden agenda on Microsoft Announces Three More Critical Vulnerabilities · · Score: 1

    I just got back from the Microsoft Security Summit, and now it makes sense. They didn't want me to see this story.

  20. Re:No authentication leads to abuse... on Overseas Crooks Abuse TTY Phone Service · · Score: 1

    A good solution would be to require a newer TTY terminal that would actually rip out the caller's larynx. Then all TTY users would be legit TTY users.

  21. Finally! on Bicycle Riding on Square Wheels · · Score: 2, Interesting

    YES! Finally a way to take the speedbumps as fast as I want!

  22. When mugged... on iPod: This Season's Must-Have for Muggers · · Score: 1

    Yes, give up the iPod, and give the mugger the headphones too. In fact, hand him a few other other things that he would want, and while he is juggling all of these, take his knife, and run.

  23. 18-34 on You're Watching Less TV · · Score: 1

    Maybe it's because I just left the 18-34 bracket this weekend. I used to watch a lot of TV, but now it's just Simpsons, Futurama, and Enterprise (when it's on).

    Of course, there could be another reason: Males 18-34 don't want to see "queer eye for the straight guy".

  24. Re:Can We Even Do It? on Mars Terraforming Debate · · Score: 1

    I must have missed something. Did Pauly Shore make a sequel?

  25. Re:Leo Laporte on Comcast Signs Deal To Acquire TechTV · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I've been watching TechTV for about 3 years now, and I can tell you that Leo didn't always interrupt his co-hosts or guests. Only within the last 9-12 months has this started to happen. He used to work VERY well with Patrick Norton.

    There is a local public access technology show in my area, and the host on that show NEVER lets his guests finish their sentences. It must just be something about the business.
