  1. Re:Good! on Cell Phones Becoming Profitless · · Score: 1

    ...except that there are LAWS against drinking and driving, but no laws against using your cellphone in the car, thus legally giving yourself the right to drive just about as badly as being intoxicated.

    Not to mention the fact that people think their stupid jibber-jabber is so important that they can't just turn the phone off when going to a movie theater or restaurant. That way, I get to hear a crappy MIDI version of "Tainted Love" or possibly TI's "24" whenever someone decides to be completely inconsiderate of everyone around them.

    Sorry, all CRACKING is terrible.

    Exactly. Just because you might not approve of their business model doesn't mean that they don't deserve to be free of attacks.

    All hacking is terrible. Don't encourage it just because it happened to hurt someone you don't like.

    Well, in this case they are ahead of us in technological implementation, not innovation. All they did was plant cables that were already invented in order to use technology that was already invented.

    I thought the Linux popcorn maker put more kernels into a panic.

    Well, if you translated Athlon from English to Japanese to English, you might get Athron...

  9. Sounds like the premise for Metal Gear 2 on Renewable Energy From Algae? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake for the MSX had a plot involving an algae called OILIX that could create oil, and of course some bad guys kidnap the scientist and his creation. Kinda interesting that it can actually be done in real life though.

  10. Re:Rest In Peace on What Happens To Your Data When You Die? · · Score: 1, Funny

    Suicide is the coward's way out. Why kill yourself and end up in Hell when you can get sweet vengeance for the same price?

    I would have figured it would be Worm.SCO.X.

  14. Still don't have a cell phone... on Cell Phone Is The Most Hated Invention · · Score: 5, Insightful
    ...and I still don't want one.

    Did you ever notice that things have gotten way more stressful in the past few decades? We're getting all this advanced technology, and for what? So that we can get in touch with anyone anywhere? So that we can have our bosses bother us at any time with useless BS work that "can't wait until tomorrow?" I say the cell phone is the biggest stress-causer ever, and anyone who has one should eliminate it from their lives.

  15. Re:Instead... on Mice In Space · · Score: 1

    Yeah, it would make sense...he's already the ruler of a desolate and resourceless company, might as well give him rule over a desolate and resourceless planet. Then again, he'd probably sue us for stealing all of Mars's intellectual property.

  16. Wait.....WHAT? on LEGO Mindstorms Will Survive · · Score: 2, Interesting

    'Hearsay has it that a product range like LEGO MINDSTORMS is no longer in focus. This is not true. On the contrary, MINDSTORMS, CLIKITS and BIONICLE are all good examples of products the company wants to stake on.'

    Wait......they aren't going to take down Mindstorms, but then they say right there that Mindstorms is a product they want to stake on. That's the most confusing thing I've heard all day.

  17. Re:Silly Programmers on The Changing Face of Offshore Programming · · Score: 1

    Do you think a union would really help the outsourcing craze? Alright, so the company starts outsourcing. The union strikes. The company just outsources MORE. They're overseas scab workers just waiting to happen.

  19. Re:It works. on Hackers On Atkins · · Score: 1

    You gotta cut the sugar-free Jello. I do Atkins, and aspartame will definitely either slow down your weight loss or cause a plateau. Try the artificial sweetener Splenda, chemical name sucralose. It's really good, and it doesn't have any metabolic effects.

    I've lost about 40 pounds on this diet, and I've feel the best I ever have felt before. Way more strength, stamina, and surprisingly mental power.

  20. I'm a die-hard OpenOffice user on Microsoft Office Faces British Invasion · · Score: 3, Interesting

    OpenOffice rocks. The new 1.1.0 is even better, since now you can make PDF files. Anyone paying $500 for Office XP needs to visit Openoffice.org.

    I wonder what disrespects Microsoft more: pirating their shitty office suite, or hating it so much that you refuse to even pirate it.
