    Scenario: 3am at recipient's residence.

    Recipient: Hello? (rubs eyes)
    Caller: Hi, did I wake you?
    Recipient: Whaaa...?
    Caller: I'm using VOIP, and it costs me next to nothing!
    Recipient: (blinks)... you A-Hole!
    Caller: Yep, AOL - how'd ya guess?

    It'll go something like this:

    Sony Researcher: What is the colour of the sky? (ultrasonically stimulates patient's brain)
    Patient: Seven!
    Sony Researcher: What is your mother's maiden name? (ultrasonically stimulates patient's brain yet again)
    Patient: Magna Carta, 1066!
    Sony Researcher: Who produces the best console platform? (yet more ultrasonic stimulatation)
    Patient: Nintendo!
    Researcher: Terminate subject.
  3. Re:Patenting Ideas on Sony Patents Matrix-Like Game Technology · · Score: 1

    Agreed, the fact that one can patent an (as yet) unimplementable idea is absurd! Surely, if you can't do it, you can't patent it? Gah!

    WTF? Is this a computer-generated post, or a surreal interpretation of the English language?

  7. Re:Where are the fatherboards? on How Motherboards Are Made · · Score: 5, Funny
    My guess is that the fatherboards refuse to perform garbage collection, misinterpret the communication protocol with the motherboard, and are constantly scolded for eyeing off the newer models of GPU's.

    Thus they are kept in solitary confinement far from the eyes of the public and are used only to pump out offspring. It's solely for the XY86 chromosome, I'm sure.

    I had EXACTLY the same reaction, but then I relaxed safe in the knowledge that it wouldn't get very far due to my randomly arranged "floor-drobe".

    Holy shit! You mean they actually killed the lead actor Jim Caviezel during the filming of Mel Gibson's movie?

    No? OK then, it's not a snuff film. It's a regular film where actors act and no-one gets hurt.

  19. Re:Long story short.... on NeroLinux vs. K3b · · Score: 1

    Sure, you have a very valid point. My drive is not to strain tenuous analogies beyond their stretching point. Instead it's a desire to see Linux increase in exposure such that we may see the general awareness in Linux being other than a geek's OS (I know it isn't, but think of the masses).

  20. Re:Pan wheel... on Apple Developing Two-Button Mouse · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Y'know what's really funny is that OS-X supports poly-button mice with wheel-scrolling ability, yet Apple don't (as yet) sell such a mouse. This has been good for those 3rd party vendors who produce asthetically-pleasing multi-button mice. Please, no flames about Control-Click, I'm a Mac user, yet respect the right-click.

    I agree with your conclusion - K3B > NeroLinux. However, one wouldn't criticize their newly-born child for not being able to run like his years-older brother. See this for what is is - more Linux support from predominantly MS Windows-based vendors.
