  1. Re:Lies! on Mainframe Meets 'The Office' · · Score: 1

    Oh my gosh. You TOTALLY had the same thought as me.

    I was thinking ... they could have some sort of computer crash, and Enzo and Bob could come in and save the day. Heh. :)

  2. Re:Lost developer productivity? Health issues? on War Declared on Caps Lock Key · · Score: 1

    are simply slow typists who have missed a trick all this time
    a long string of uppercase letters

    I, for one, can go MONTHS between typing long strings of upper-case characters. I consider myself a swift typist, but not necessarily super-fast.

    I'm against elimination of the Capslock key, but I'm *also* against its current position. The greater sin, however, are those few keyboards that put the "?/" key to the immediate right-side of a shortened left-side shift key.

    Worst. Layout. Ever.

  3. Re:Error in title on Firefox Crop Circles Prove Intelligent Alien Life · · Score: 1

    Despite depicting crop circles as a sign of a coming invasion, they actually had almost nothing to do with the usage of the word "Signs" as the title of the film.

    Swing Away, Merrill.

  4. Re:There is 3) Things you'll never understand on Did Humans Evolve? No, Say Americans · · Score: 1

    Actually, I think the REAL "3" is even more impossible to understand:

    Women.

  5. Yay! on SCO Stock Continues Downward Spiral · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Yay! Let's make biscuits!

    (But seriously, as soon as RoyalBank/BayStar Capital pulled out, I think their funding prospects tanked - now they're just a silly waste of money to anyone who does the slightest bit of research before buying. And anyone who doesn't research an investment is risking a complete fleecing anyways, regardless of what company it is :))

  6. IMO on The De-Evolution of the Ocean · · Score: 1

    In my opinion, this is analogous to the switch from Dumb Terminals to Desktop Workstations and then back to Thin Clients in corporate America ... it's just a cycle. Eventually it'll swing back in favour of the big fish. :)

  7. Heh on Stephen Colbert Wikipedia Prank Backfires · · Score: 1

    Been there, done that, got the t-shirt.

  8. Re:Increasing IQ's? on Modern Humans Far More Robust Than Ancestors · · Score: 1

    My mother has ten Irish brothers. Shut the fuck up, Donnie, you are OUT OF YOUR ELEMENT.

  9. Re:Awww...c'mon guys.... on Vista Speech Recognition Goes Awry · · Score: 1

    Yay Firefly! :) Shindig was a fun episode ... but I think Ariel had more speech recognition. It certainly didn't have more asshats, though. :)

  10. Re:Increasing IQ's? on Modern Humans Far More Robust Than Ancestors · · Score: 1

    Just because dumb people have children, doesn't necessarily mean that those children will be dumb ... ... just Irish.

    *snicker*

  11. Re:Retarded child analogy flawed on Inverting Images for Uninvited Users · · Score: 1

    Exactly! The packets will be the trespassers, particularly the HTTP-GET ones ... :)

    Ah well, it's an insipid analogy anyways.

  12. Re:What a pity on Google Announces Open Source Repository · · Score: 1

    Well, it's actually the combination of Eclipse/Subclipse/PHPclipse that works great :) I hadn't coded on my project for nearly six months prior to switching, and it's made it much easier for me to get started on a coding session ... it's a big improvement over my old environment that I was using. Less clicking around. :)

    Now I just need some more RAM .... 512 isn't enough for Eclipse. lol :)

  13. Re:How do you broach the subject? on Tomorrow is System Administrator Day 2006 · · Score: 1

    Early? Bah. You don't think much like a sysadmin, do you? :)

    Cron it the night before, and roll it out to all the workstations while you're sound asleep ... works for me. :)

  14. Re:What I did for my SAs on Tomorrow is System Administrator Day 2006 · · Score: 1

    And the heat of the server room didn't melt the chocolate? Nice. Sounds like they're competent sysadmins, and that's a good thing. :)

  15. Re:What a pity on Google Announces Open Source Repository · · Score: 1

    Broken CVS speeds adoption of Subversion :) I switched to SVN from CVS on my sf.net project on the weekend, and it's been working beautifully so far.

  16. Re:our galactic stone-age on Solar Power Minus the Light · · Score: 2, Informative

    America's largest supplier of oil is ...

    wait for it ...

    Canada.

  17. Re:Timetable on Prey Review · · Score: 1

    It had the native american storyline from the beginning, though.

  18. Re:Conventional wisdom on Fear of Snakes May Have Driven Pre-Human Evolution · · Score: 3, Funny

    Our lineage re-gained a third

    Some people also have a fourth, I've heard.

  19. Yay! on MySpace Down Due To Power Surge · · Score: 1

    Best. Power surge. Ever.

    I noticed it at midnight last night, when I tried to load Cobra Starship's myspace page. It provided a nice impetus to get off my butt and go to bed. :)

  20. Re:Redundent department of redundancy. on Scientists to Build 'Brain Box' · · Score: 1

    Programmer: "What happened to Chechnya?"

    Computer: "Oops."

  21. Re:Hardly Praise on Canada's CBC - Powered By OSS · · Score: 1

    I think Corner Gas is a CTV program.

  22. Re:If you look close... on Catching Photons Coming from the Moon · · Score: 1

    SPOOON!! hahah :) Nice reference.

  23. Re:Once is ok, but twice is too much... on Debian Server Compromised · · Score: 3, Funny

    Mwuahahahha! Perfect place to ply the first-ever Carrier Pigeon Protocol hack!

  24. Re:So, on Northrop to Sell Laser Shield Bubble for Airports · · Score: 1

    I'm sure some levels of vaporization produce noise. Perhaps the noises might coalesce into some kind of musical waveform? :)

  25. Re:Awesome on Cutting out the Naughty Bits Ruled Illegal · · Score: 1

    Tickertalk, perchance? It was ME! hahah :) Anyway, I made that same assumption and then scoured wikipedia for supporting evidence, only to find out that I was incorrect. Oops.
