  1. Re:OK I have to Admit it on The Princess Bride Musical · · Score: 1

    Yes, you're very smart. Now shut up!

  2. Re:In a galaxy far far away on Another Star Wars Prequel? · · Score: 1

    Sorry, but no. I think Kevin Smith's legacy to the film world is to find even more opportunities to put the word "fuck" on celluloid. Besides, his scripts have almost as much banal dialogue as Quentin Tarantino's.

  3. Re:Don't call it pseudoscience because it isn't on The Pseudoscience of Intelligent Design · · Score: 1
    Good comment, there. My wife is a High School English teacher. Every year she teaches both the Inferno and Paradise Lost.

    She finds teaching these extremely difficult under current laws because The Bible is such an influencial text for these works, as literary reference.

    She has no interest in teaching religion, but would love to use passages, etc. in The Bible as part of her literature curriculum.

  4. They're not here... on When Should You Quit Your Job? · · Score: 1
    today. Those three people actually like their jobs, so they don't have to read /. at work.

    You'll have to wait 'till this evening to read their replies.

  5. Re:Voodoo on SLI Primer · · Score: 1, Informative

    All the old 3Dfx guys got hired by nVidia. I'm only surprised it took them this long to actually implement this "new" SLI.

  6. Re:Hmm... I've an analogy for this... on Gator CPO at the Department of Homeland Security · · Score: 0

    Exactly. I was reading Texas HB 789 last night trying to figure it out, and nowhere in the text does the word citizen appear. It's always consumer.

    Obl. Back to the Future quote:

    Doc: Who's the President in 1985?
    Marty: Ronald Reagan.
    Doc: Ronald Reagan...the actor? Who's Vice President? Jerry Lewis? I suppose Jane Wyman is the first lady. And Jack Benny is secretary of the treasury. I've had enough practical jokes for one evening. Good night, future boy.

  8. Re:Harods [sic] on Harrods Sells Holographic TV · · Score: 0
    Yeah, it's pretty amazing. I was there last summer with my wife and did Afternoon Tea in the Georgian restaurant. Highly recommended, even though it is "girly".

    The bookstore is very well stocked, too!

  9. I've seen it on Mitsubishi LED Projector: Small, Cheap, Durable · · Score: 1, Interesting
    I saw the only working model (in the world!) of this over the Christmas holidays. I know someone at TI working on the project. The only issue with it is the brightness. The team are/were working that issue and by now they may have solved it.

    When my wife saw it (we were at a holiday dinner when it was shown around the table) she said it was the neatest little thing, but could they make it smaller!

    The next comment shocked me: "We're working on making it half that size."

  10. Now I'll never be able to stay away. on Price Drops For Mac mini Upgrades · · Score: 0
    They keep lowering the prices on their products! Why do they taunt me so?

    /me off to the local Apple Store

  11. Re:don't forget on Mozilla Lightning to Challenge Outlook · · Score: 0
    Connecting via a single point probably wouldn't work. In order to gather all of the information from an Exchange server, a seperate NT domain or Active Directory account is needed to get to the proper mailbox.

    Outlook and Evolution do that by requiring you to "Log In" using your domain account which then verifies your right to access a particular section in the Exchange database. OWA uses the anonymous Internet user account to handle the IIS rendering, but needs the user's domain account to broker the transaction back to the Exchange server and, if you have Active Directory, the Global Catalog Server and Domain Controller for access to the individual mailboxes.

  12. PRISMIQ on How Do You Handle Home Media? · · Score: 0
    I've been looking into this seriously for a while now.

    http://www.prismiq.com/

    The player does everything I want except TV. Then I saw that they're coming out with a Player/Recorder that looks really interesting. Unfortunately, it's been delayed until early next year.

    But I can wait.

  13. Just goes to show you... on Hilary Rosen Loves Creative Commons · · Score: 0

    People will say anything for money.

  14. Lower prices, then? on In-Game Advertising Breaks Out · · Score: 0
    Does this mean that the retail cost of the games will be reduced, since they'll be subsidized via advertising?

    I'd be willing to ignore a few ads to not have to pay $55 for a new release.

  15. Re:Fishies on Globalwin Jefi Watercooling Kit Reviewed · · Score: 0

    Also, I think it was W.C. Fields that said, "Water? Never touch the stuff...fish fuck in it."

  16. Re:Rapidly Diminishing in Edison's Day on On Afghanistan's Thomas Edison · · Score: 0

    I seem to remember from school that the only thing Edison actually invented was the phonograph. That's it, nothing more.

  17. Re:Northeners on Major UK Comms Backbone Bunker Burned Out · · Score: 0

    So THAT'S what they did with that fire they got...

  18. Really??? on Wicked Cool Shell Scripts · · Score: 5, Funny
    or that you can use a very simple script to check spelling on your web pages?

    Quick! Somebody pick this up for Taco!

  19. Re:Units, units, units!!! on What's Inside the Mars Rovers · · Score: 0

    Looks like they got away with unit conversion failure for a while (unlike Polar Lander). That explains why they started deleting file like mad.

  20. Sounds like... on Internet Users Are More Social Than Non-Users · · Score: 0

    The /. editing crew isn't spending enough time online. If they were, they'd be socializing and sharing story posts. ;-)

    No thanks. I'd rather not live next to John "Scientologist" Travolta.

    Travolta's New House.

  22. Re:change in spamcop reporting on IronPort Arms Both Sides In Spam War · · Score: 0
    One of the Senarios we were using for MailSweeper used SpamCop as an RBL. A few days ago, I had to disable it because everything was coming back with a DNS error or a timeout.

    I don't know about everyone else, but I'm fashioning a tin foil hat right now...

  23. Re:IronPort's Reputation? on SpamCop To Be Sold To IronPort? · · Score: 0
    A couple of IronPort guys came to my office yesterday. The presentation they gave looked really good. From what the VP was saying, they seem to understand the SPAM problem pretty well, and are trying their best to provide a solution different from "everyone else".

    Once I get one of the appliances in, I'll start testing, but from what I've seen, they seem to get it.

  24. Content but not license? on MIT's Music Net Shut Down Over License Issues · · Score: 0

    I don't understand. Is that equivalent to buying the music, but not being able to play it? If I bought a CD, doesn't that mean I'm allowed to listen to it, even with my friends?

  25. Semantics? on Doctor Who Comeback · · Score: -1, Troll
    "Queer as Folk", huh?

    Shouldn't that be buggering then, and not bugging the cable companies?
