    Hooray for the Official Site for Marklar! *Now* I understand..... um... yeah. heh.

  2. heh on Clean Flicks' Preemptive Strike For the Right To Edit · · Score: 1

    To quote Jay, "That's the stupidest idea since having Greedo shoot first."

  3. Re:Invasion Of Privacy? on Mr Anti-Google · · Score: 1

    More importantly than that, it's set to expire in 36 years... Is he really worried that 3 decades from now, someone will be spying on him? As if it's actually that hard to go Tools -> Internet Options -> Clear Cookies Lazy whiner, heh...

  4. profit... on Meteorite Hits Girl · · Score: 1

    Hmmm. After the fiasco with NASA going after the people who stole the moon rocks, maybe the girl can offset the pain of the meteorite strike by selling it on eBay?

  5. oops.. on Scientists Discover What Makes Geckos Stick · · Score: 1

    I thought you said Geico, not Gecko!
    ::salesman walks out::

  6. hmm on Speech For The Deaf · · Score: 1

    I wonder what it will say when people wearing it flip someone off... :p

  7. hmm on Type With Your Eyes · · Score: 1

    So what does this thing print when you look at porn? I'm both scared and highly intrigued at the same time.....

  8. Re:The Slashdot Summary is somewhat misleading on FEC Permits Anonymous SMS Spam · · Score: 1

    ... What more is needed beyond "Vote for me"??

  9. Re:Why not wireless? on Broadband To Hit The South Pole · · Score: 1

    Get a battery with a really long charge on it...

  10. Honey... on Cremation? Burial? How about Diamonds? · · Score: 1

    ... will you marry me?"

    "Oh, it's so beautiful! Look at how it sparkles! Of course I... wait... hey... oh my God.. Aunt Lucy??? Is that you???"

  11. Are you in Debt? on Politicians Seek Spam Loophole · · Score: 1

    If not, could you use a certain... enlargement? Couldn't we all... after all, SHE will enjoy you more if...

    What? You're insulted?
    Hey man, just because you don't like my politics, don't claim I'm some "spammer."
    ----

    Just one possible outcome if this stuff goes any further in this direction.
    Gotta love the "Everyone else is wrong... except for us!" route.

  12. spam? on Haiku vs Spam · · Score: 1

    Your poor mailbox,
    It seemed so large,
    Please empty trash.

  13. Read the article? on Watercooling Made Easy · · Score: 1

    Uhhh, ok, let me get this straight... the article links to a review for a cooling system.

    At the bottom of the "review"/ad, it says one of the Cons was: did not meet my cooling requirements...

    So the point of this was what, exactly?

    If you are trying to market your product, you might want to actually READ the review first...

  14. wait... on Man Conquers Space · · Score: 2, Funny

    ... I thought the moon landing was faked! Now we're going to go to Mars?! Why do you people keep rocking my world?!?!!? ;)

  15. Re:Upcoming lawsuits from RIAA on RIAA Sues Backbone ISPs to Censor Website · · Score: 1

    Microsoft would not be on that list, because they do have DRM policies which prevent piracy.
    I realize you are joking here, but WMA wouldn't be an "enemy" of the RIAA.
    There was even a story here earlier

  16. Re:Force Grip on Linux Kernel Module For Nintendo Powerglove · · Score: 1

    "I have you -- hey... wait, no, I... I had them... oh crap."

    * Error in jedi32.dll. This force power has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down. *

    Later:

    "Many Bothans died to bring us this crappy glove..."

  17. But... on Diamonds - Are They Really Worth the Cost? · · Score: 1

    ... how can you resist the commercials?

    You know... it has the swelling music and the shadows and stuff.
    If a diamond ring is good enough for a shadow lady, why isn't it good enough for yours?! ;)

  18. Technically... on Is Linux or Windows Easier To Install? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    then shouldn't the article be comparing RedHat and Windows installs?

    If he is only testing with Redhat, it seems unfair to lump all of those installs as "faster" than Windows, based on the performance of only one type.

    Just something to think about.

  19. Re:Affects implementation, not the standard on Schneier et al Report PGP Vulnerability · · Score: 1

    That won't work either...

    Smart: "Bob, can you give me a hand here?"
    StupidBob: "Sure"
    Smart: "Just grab this expensive looking little pad"
    *beep*
    Smart: "Okay, thanks."
    StupidBob: "Ummm, sure"

    And Bob has unwittingly (or dim-wittedly) done a similar thing as picking a poor password. Sure, you might have to be a little less obvious about it, but your security will always be as weak as your stupidest employee who holds power and can be social engineered...

  20. Re:I don't understand... on Congress to Ashcroft: Go After Song Swappers · · Score: 1

    Ever hear of Prince?

    True, he began on a label, but after that, he left to distribute his stuff online. And a number of other groups are doing the same.

    It seems unlikely a group will gain "super stardom" solely by online means. But if they make an impact, then go to online distribution, is that any less admirable? I don't think it is...

  21. Obligatory War Games Reference... on Men vs. Machines · · Score: 1

    <WOPR computerized voice> Greetings, Kasparov.
    Would.. you.. like... to play... a game? </WOPR computerized voice>

  22. Re:Bullshit. I saw one. on Big Black Delta Mystery Solved? · · Score: 1

    You have a number? I feel ripped off. I was expecting to talk to someone who just had a letter for a name like 'B' or 'L'. I'm such a low grade citizen... Le sigh...

  23. Re:next up... on TheKompany Releases DivX Software For Zaurus · · Score: 1

    I suppose so, but my comment was pointing out that the usefulness of DiVX usability on a PDA will only truly become worthwhile when you CAN fit more than 1 movie on it.

    After all, would you buy an mp3 player that only held 2 songs?

  24. next up... on TheKompany Releases DivX Software For Zaurus · · Score: 1

    Kazaa for PDAs?
    Only problem is HD size.. if a DIVX movie is huge, seems like you can't fit very much on one small PDA...

  25. Re:I've read this already on How The Postman Almost Owned E-Mail · · Score: 1

    Hmmm. So if my friend gives me a package to deliver to his girlfriend... and I'm going there myself anyhow... and I get it there faster than the USPS would... I'm going to jail?
