  1. Re:Cool... or Creepy? on Unisys Targets Just 20 Execs With Ad Campaign · · Score: 1

    Unisys has been a real brain trust from day one. Not! Instead of keeping one of their well established and respected names after merging Sperry and Burroughs, they cooked up a new one, and became a leviathan of a company that no one had ever heard of. They are lucky they survived.

  2. Re:missed? on Viking Mars Mission Might Have Missed Life · · Score: 5, Funny

    Viking didn't miss a thing. Its more startling discoveries were covered up. Read more and more and more!

  3. Re:Anything on the router level? on Rethinking IM Privacy For Kids · · Score: 0, Troll

    Kids aren't stupid? They are so. They are stupid enough to chat with, and give personal information to people who turn out to be pedophiles and killers. Their knowledge of how to sneak around their parents is not wisdom. It is foolishness that many teens do not survive. Giving kids privacy on the internet can be like giving them a firearm as a toy.

  4. Re:Thanks for the troll submission on Is String Theory Really a Scientific Theory? · · Score: 1

    If string theory is a legitimate scientific theory, then so is time cube.

  5. Gimme an S. on zCodec Video Codec Is a Trojan · · Score: 1, Redundant

    Gimme an S.

    S!

    Gimme an O.

    O!

    Gimme an N.

    N!

    Gimme a Y

    Why? They put rootkits on CDs. They are just the kind of company that would make a video codec that is a trojan.

  6. Boondoggle! on NASA Still Wants Space Elevator · · Score: -1, Troll

    The space elevator will never happen. It is about as likely to work as a giant catapult to fling satellites into space. It is about as likely as replacing the Space Shuttle with the Millenium Falcon.

  7. Re:great on Lockheed Martin Wins Contract to Build Mars Lander · · Score: 1

    It will be too little too late. By 2014 or 2020, red China will have control of all the green cheese! We need to move now.

  8. Apple and Windows Will Force Linux Underground? on Apple and Windows Will Force Linux Underground · · Score: 1

    As the snowy white owl says... O RLY?

  9. Re:Good News ... but .... on Universal to Offer Music for Free · · Score: 1

    You are being naive. How do you think they target the ads to you in the first place? With spyware. They must gather data about you to sell it to advertisers, such as recording what you search for and where you surf. Who knows whether the data they gather goes back to them securely, or can be intercepted. The data may even include a keystroke log. If they show you ads targeted for your metro area, they really know more than they need to. The old adage that nothing is free will ring true. I predict that Vivendi Universal's "free" music service will be a menace if it actually ever goes live, much like Kazaa.

  10. Re:Good News ... but .... on Universal to Offer Music for Free · · Score: 1

    Targeted ads=spyware. Free my ass!

  11. Re:One Line Of Legal Defense on EFF Sues Barney Producers over Spoof Sites · · Score: 2, Informative
    If a parody calling Barney the anitchrist is funny, how about a parody calling him an Al-Qaeda terrorist? I did that, and got a similar nastygram. To publicize these events, I published this and this.

    I hope the EFF really lays the smack down on Lyons Partnership.

  12. Go digital. on Reuters Admits, Pulls Doctored Photos · · Score: 1

    Those darn film photos are too easy to tweak. We need to make reporters go to digital only. As Dr. Marcus Von Vickersburg of The International Institute for Photographic Analysis has stated, digital photographs cannot be faked.

  13. Re:call me cynical, but on Army to Require Trusted Platform Module in PCs · · Score: 1

    If they Army doesn't change their minds post haste, Chinese intelligence will know their business! Read more.

  14. Re:I've heard of life coaches.... on Hire a Game Coach Online · · Score: 1

    The problem with life coaches is that they are evil! I sure hope that gaming coaches aren't in on their nefarious plot, too.

  15. Star Trek on SUSE Linux Enterprise 10, a Closer Look · · Score: 3, Funny

    They used Suse Linux on the Enterprise? I guess I never saw that episode.

  16. Re:Perhaps both? on Forbes Now Thinks Carly Saved HP · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Carly "The Hatchet" Fiorina was the worst thing that ever happened to HP. It is a wonder that they survived. Between turning the LaserJet printers from reliable workhorses to disposable junk to the disastrous Compaq merger, she broke everything she touched.

  17. Not the first time on Microsoft Denies the Windows Kill Switch · · Score: -1, Troll

    This is not the first time Microsquash was working on a kill switch to force more sales, and had to back down due to public pressure. Last time, they were going to kill Windows 2000 and force everyone to buy XP or Server 2003.

  18. Re:Ethics on Mixing brain cells and nanodots · · Score: 1

    This is a slippery slope.

  19. Re:String Theory on String Theory a Disaster for Physics? · · Score: 1

    String theory could be called bong theory. They came up with it while high.

  20. Re:Dell's new commercial on Laptop Explodes at Japanese Conference · · Score: 1

    YOUR DELL A SPLODE!

  21. Re:If they mined the moon... on Moon Mining Gets a Closer Look · · Score: 1

    Screw tides and rocks. We need to get the green cheese before the Chinese do!

  22. Re:Isn't that really... on Techies Asked To Train Foreign Replacements · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Train them wrong so they will break everything they touch. Revenge is a dish best served cold.

  23. Re:Oh yes, how they've learned... on Nintendo Learns from Mistakes with GameCube · · Score: 1

    They should have stuck with the original name, Revolution. Wii is a stupid name. What's next? A portable called Wee Wii? That wouldn't be any less stupid than abandoning a name that would have been perfect, considering the revolutionary new controller.

  24. Re:Advertising on NASA Seeking Innovative Ideas from Public · · Score: 1

    I have an idea. How about a giant catapult to fling things into space? That would be cool!

  25. Green Cheese on Back to the Moon · · Score: 2, Funny

    Bush wants us to go back to the moon so Red China won't be able to control all the green cheese.
