  1. Re:$9000 and rising? on Segway Hits the Auction Block · · Score: 1

    Most likely, Billy G.

  2. Re:Imagine a Buewolf cluster of these..... on Lack of Digital Screens for Attack of the Clones · · Score: 1

    Be better if they just overclocked the projector system. The total movie would end up being an hour long, so you won't have to put up with Jar-Jar chipmunk for nearly as long.

  3. Re:hmm cuts here and there on Big Changes In Proposed U.S. Space Budget · · Score: 1

    I understand there's a cut in pricing. They're putting the toilet seats down this year.

  4. Re:Presidents *Proposed budget* ?? on Big Changes In Proposed U.S. Space Budget · · Score: 1

    True enough. Congress does pass the budget, the President merely signs it.

    Of course, if politics was as simple as that there wouldn't be anything to worry about.

    The President always has his pet projects to pass off. Similarly, for those unfamiliar with the term "pork barrel", Congress also has scads of pet projects that they want to pass off. It's fair to say that when the President presents something to Congress, what he's saying is along the lines of "Gee, I hope that this little thing of mine gets through to my desk. That is, if you want your favorite things to get through...."

    In a word, blackmail.

    Ahhh, the thrills of a democratic society.

    NC to doc: Just saw your latest web site. Bra-fucking-vo.

  6. Re:if you can't run with the big dogs, on Should DNA be Patentable? · · Score: 1

    Did you know if you read that out loud, you'd sound like Gilbert Gottfried?

  7. Re:But the question is... on Microsoft Stops New Work To Fix Bugs · · Score: 1

    Truly ironic considering the number of SE books churned out by MS Press. (Although, it must be said that the majority of said books are written by consultants, which would... nah, better kill that rant right there.)

    Sample passage from one of those books:

    If you want to create a beautiful jewel, you must start with a diamond in the rough. If you start with a brick, the best you can hope for is a fancy brick.

    Makes you wonder just whose SE manuals they are reading...

  8. Re:Microsoft just don't get it. on Microsoft Stops New Work To Fix Bugs · · Score: 1

    Always wondered why the nits decided to start NT at 3.5. What happened to the first 3 1/2 (3? 2 1/2?) versions? Did they sink into the swamp?

  9. Re:Other easy geek recipes... on Geek Food: A Cookbook for the Technologically Inclined · · Score: 1

    You forgot to drop it on the floor first. Mmmmm... kitchen grit....

  10. Banning the other types on Space Tourist Standards · · Score: 1

    Other disqualifying traits: ... membership or sponsorship in organizations which adversely affect the public's confidence in the space station or its partners.

    ... so much for the /. community.

  11. Re:An overview of the eventual responses on Feds Undertaking Massive Passenger Profiling Plan · · Score: 1

    A minor correction...

    25%: "If this is what it takes to not get blown up by terrorists, OK."
    50%: The "Those who would trade liberty for security..." quote, with typos or the wrong source name.
    8%: The above quote, spelled correctly and attributed to the right person.
    4%: "I'm sure glad I don't fly, because now I can REJECT THE EVIL ESTABLISHMENT MAN! Pass the bong."
    1%: "FRIST PSOT"
    12%: "CowboyNeal"

  12. Re:you mean... on Billions of Habitable Planets? · · Score: 1

    Of course, according to DNA, N ends up at zero.

    "It is a known fact that there are an infinite number of worlds, but that not all of them are inhabited. It therefore follows that there must be a finite number of inhabited worlds. Any finite number divided by infinity is as near to zero as makes no odds, so that if the average population of each world is equal to zero, then the total population of the universe must also equal zero, and that any individuals you may meet from time to time must be the products of a deranged imagination."
