  1. Reminds me of the Simpsons on The Riches of Open Source · · Score: 1

    Reading that article kinda reminded me of the episode with Jay Sherman and McBain: Jay: "How do you sleep at night?" McBain: "On top of a pile of money, with many beautiful ladies."

  2. Ultimate Kitchen computer on IBM To Repair Smoking Monitors · · Score: 0, Troll

    Most smokers I know like to have a cup of coffee and a smoke in the morning, and a smoke after meals. Slap a java runtime environment in there and you could market a rockin computer designed especially for a smoker's kitchen!

  3. Re:Like Fine Wine... on 300 Episodes of the Simpsons · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I agree with most of the above mentioned omissions from the list, although I feel that "Bart After Dark" (Burlesque House) and "Homer the Great" (Stonecutters) should have also made the list. These were some really great, and very funny episodes. Although I agree with the above suggestion that the Spin-off Special shouldn't have been included, I feel Homer's Phobia was a really great episode that dealt with a lot of typical sterotypes/reactions that the public has about gays.

  4. Re:NRA 4 EVER on 300 Episodes of the Simpsons · · Score: 1

    The cash register says something like 817.63. I don't remember the exact number, but it definitly does not say "NRA4EVER", at least in the Simpsons Season 2 DVD. Perhaps in a later episode/season they changed it.

  5. Re:what? on When Profiling Goes Wrong · · Score: 1

    I think "Three Men and a Baby" would be a prefect movie for a pregnant, gay man to watch and enjoy.

  6. Re:RIAA on Raising Barriers to Entry into the Music Business · · Score: 1

    I live in philly, and semi-low prices are only available if you go to a Best Buy and get the latest teen sensation. If you want more selection, or CDs from lesser known artists, you can go to a Tower Records, The Wall (or whatever its called now), or similar stores and pay upwards of $18 for ONE CD. That's just how it is.

  7. MS Management on Passport for Linux On the Way · · Score: -1, Troll

    I really don't see where Microsoft comes up with these genuis ideas. I bet if there was a minimum IQ requirement of 1 at Microsoft for management-type positions, Microsoft would lose 99% of its executive/management staff.

  8. Re:Home Security on Predicting User Behavior to Improve Security · · Score: 1

    -Note to Self- Also remember to lock windows so stuff that wasn't stolen yet doesn't get stolen.

  9. Re:not exactly... on DRM in Real-Time and Embedded Systems · · Score: 1

    Actually, according to bill proposals in the House of Reps, like the CBDTPA (formerly SSSCA), any and all hardware will be required to have DRM. These bills won't discriminate between the hardware in Little Jonny's MP3 player and the hardware of Dr. Jones' heart monitor. It applys to hardware, and it means all hardware.

  10. Homer vs. New York on Simpsons Guide to Math · · Score: 2, Funny
    I didn't see the one where Barney loses Homer's car in New York.

    Parking Authority tape: "...Please wait by your car between the hours of 9 & 5 for parking officer Steve... [man's voice] Grabowski"
    Homer: "Oh...how many hours is that anyway? [looks at watch] 9..11..denominator..."

  11. Clearcase branches on Tips on Managing Concurrent Development? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I work with a number of other software developers on a fairly large project where things are constantly changing. We currently use Clearcase. To avoid multiple submissions in order to have changes accepted once, each developer has their own branch, which is a copy of the main one. Developers work in their branch changing files until they feel they're ready to sumbit changes to the baseline. They merge the current baseline into their branch, grabbing all changes so far, and then merge back into the main branch. This effectively checks out the files, so only one person can make and submit changes at a time.

  12. SSSCA and govn't electronics on Fox Explains Why SSSCA Is Bad · · Score: 1

    Would the SSSCA apply to government purchased electronics like satellites and electronic military equipment in things like night vision goggles, fighter planes or smart bombs/missiles? I definitly wouldn't want a missile or bomb to hit an enemy area unexploded, and then have our enemies pick apart the electronics to play copyrighted movies and music illegally.
