  1. Re:Sad news ... Stephen King dead at 54 on Free as in Books? · · Score: 1

    Somebody confused him with Rosemary Clooney. They do have a strong resemblance.

  2. Does M$ have a theme song yet? on Microsoft Media Player "Security Patch" Changes EULA Big Time · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    What do we want you to listen to today?

  3. Where did you say you wanted to go today? on Will Microsoft Code-Checking Plans Cripple the GPL? · · Score: 5, Funny

    Sorry, you can't get there from here.

  4. Re:From the robots website . . . on "Living robot" Escapes Lab, Makes It To...Parking Lot · · Score: 2, Funny

    C'mon, people! Did we learn nothing from Westworld? The next /. headline will be along the lines of "500 Brits Slaughtered by Crazed Robots". You know one of those bots is going to plug into the hall's net, access imdb.com and download the plot of Spartacus.

  5. Re:"Switch" Campaign Deceptive on PC Users Switch to Apple · · Score: 1

    "ggogle sucks" = 90 hits

  6. Re:Gimme a break on E3: Epic, US Army Develop Games as Recruitment Tool · · Score: 1

    Well, you are correct - in that Windows users average half the education of linux users. Let's see -- linux user:16 years schooling = college graduate therefore -- Windows user: 8 years schooling = Jethro Bodine

  7. Re:Gimme a break on E3: Epic, US Army Develop Games as Recruitment Tool · · Score: 1

    "No bastard ever won a war using Windows-based weapons systems. He won it by making the other poor dumb bastard use Windows-based weapons systems." -- the ghost of George S. Patton

  8. Death Bed Conversion on RIP: Stephen Jay Gould · · Score: 1

    How long before we begin to see the "Gould recanted evolution and embraced Jesus on his death bed" stories?

  9. Micro$offz version will be...? on Explaining the GPL to Non-Lawyers? · · Score: 3, Funny

    "What's mine is mine, and what's yours is ours." Press OK to accept. Press CANCEL to accept.

  10. Re:Non-lawyers? on Explaining the GPL to Non-Lawyers? · · Score: 1

    Forget lawyers. Who's going to explain it to the experts? http://www.printdealers.com/ The International Fine Print Dealers Association (IFPDA) is a non-profit organization dedicated to ensuring the highest ethical standards and quality among fine print dealers, and to promoting greater appreciation of fine prints among art collectors and the general public.

  11. Re:fp? on Microsoft Expert Witness Stumbles · · Score: 2, Funny

    This clueless jerk is an insult to all things MIT and should immediately be deported to Harvard.

  12. Pedigree explains all on Gates: Say No to GPL, Yes to the Microsoft Ecosystem · · Score: 1

    You have to remember that Billy got into Harvard, not MIT.

  13. Re:Not that impressive on Mapping The CIA Nonclassified Network · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Social engineering is by far the most cost-effective way to run an intelligence agency. I'll let you spend billions on fancy software and hardware. I'll spend a grand on a hooker to wink at one of your sysadmins - and I've got all the access I want.

  14. Sorry geekdom, but B5 was bad on Jeremiah, a New Series from B5 Creator, Debuts Sunday · · Score: 1

    I love good science fiction, but face it. The acting and writing in the Babylon 5 series was bad. It was painful to watch - some of the most overused and obvious cliches passing for dialog.

    And now what? A killer virus? Post-apocalyptic visions of the world with leather-clad heroes? Give me a break. That's just a lack of imagination.
