  1. Re:'Canada's national newspaper' !?!?! on Linux in Canada · · Score: 5, Funny

    Now now, very few Canadians actually hate Americans. Many joke, but few hate.

    Not only do we have more than one newspaper, we are also proud to announce that we have more than one telephone, as well as more than one automobile!

  2. Re:Damn it all on Linux in Canada · · Score: 1

    Don't forget the 14.5% sales taxes (at least here in BC) ...

  3. Re:Calgary on Linux in Canada · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Canucks RULE!

    Although giving the flames a two man advantage was kinda dumb ... :)

  4. Re:I've set up a GNU/Linux machine for my kids too on A Babe in Tuxland · · Score: 1

    Aww, I wanted to get a Libretto and toss BeOS on it. Would've made an awesome MP3 player for my car :)

    "DeepFreeze" is a cool tool for stability; just get the system in working order, and then freeze it. Every time you turn it on, it will be as though nothing happened the last time you used it. Hard drive will be exactly as it was the day you froze it.

    It's awesome for public access terminals. Eliminates the need to reformat/reinstall, and virtually eliminates viral infections as well (because if infected, a simple reboot is all the cure needed).

  6. Re:You're a Troll on A Babe in Tuxland · · Score: 1

    A minor nitpick, but if you have visualStudio installed, "cmd.exe" does autocomplete. Quite well, I might add.

  7. Re:Obvious other uses on A Black Box for People · · Score: 1

    Do you mean Wang Girth or Body Girth? Because, if people of Body Girth can store crack cocaine in their folds of fat (See recent Oddly Enough story regarding a 350lb prison inmate), I think they stand a good chance of not even noticing the device. (It's also a sign that they very much need the device :))

  8. Re:I'm ready for it on A Black Box for People · · Score: 1

    Well, I know I would be uncomfortable if my heartbeat increased by 20bps.

    Would I then be able to lodge a complaint of sexual harassment against the woman, simply for walking into the room? :)

    He's obviously a Mac fan. iJesus

  10. Re:Confirmation? on Technology Spontaneously Combusts In Sicily · · Score: 1

    I wonder what the odds are that the cause of the problem would seriously fuck up the routing tables on an avian carrier?

    Ah well, at least there's traceability. (splat splat splat)

  11. Re:I'd mod you insightful... on Technology Spontaneously Combusts In Sicily · · Score: 1

    People always say "stranger things have happened". Bah, humbug I say!

  12. well ... on Real Problems · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Well, if Real is listening, they'll hopefully make a big prominent link to the free version on their front page.

    I remember four years ago when I had to dig through the site to find it; what a pain in the butt.

  13. Re:I don't care about Farscape, but... on Sci Fi Confirms Forthcoming Farscape Miniseries · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I'm sad that my FP of "Shiny!" was moderated offtopic. I thought it was an apropos jab at the Farscape people, seeing that Firefly has a DVD release out already - AND a feature film on the way.

  14. Ooh, fun! on Sci Fi Confirms Forthcoming Farscape Miniseries · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Shiny!

  15. Re:Yeah right.... on For sale: Eurotunnel Tunnel Boring Machine · · Score: 4, Funny

    Too bad Gary Coleman isn't running.

  17. Re:think about that sentence: on PDTP - The Best of Both FTP and BitTorrent? · · Score: 1, Troll

    There's a difference between "dead" and "deprecated".

  18. Re:Mandatory joke on Pigeons' Bandwidth Advantage Quantified · · Score: 1

    Actually, I saw someone misspell "European" as "Europen" and I thought we'd started colonizing the moons of Jupiter already. Silly me.

  19. la di da on The Power of Persuasion · · Score: 4, Funny

    Well, I'm sold.

  20. Re:Go after the IP on Music Industry Loses In Canadian Downloading Case · · Score: 1

    Business accounts can have Static IPs, for an extra $150/mo (for the full package).

  21. Re:Terrorist??? Sounds like libel to me. on Hacker Indicted In France For Publishing Exploits · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The ironic thing is that if he had told the company before he released the exploit, they could probably have been able to charge him with the French equivalent of Blackmail.

    It kind of brings a whole new meaning to the saying, "you're damned if you do and damned if you don't."

  22. Re:Less microsoft means... on What Would The World Be Like Without Microsoft? · · Score: 1

    No. That's why they call tech support and complain that they turned the computer on (they mean the monitor, of course) but it just stays black ...

    All it needs now is frickin' laser beams, and it'll be the most EVIL contraption this side of Britney Spears.

    Well, yeah, either that or the Novell team BLATANTLY STOLE the Gnome source code after cracking their web server ... heheh :)
