  1. electronic babelfish on Spoken Japanese-English translation Using Your PDA · · Score: 1

    I can't wait until we can get one of these that can speak spanish, mandarin, etc. I live in LA, and people speak at least a dozen languages at me every day.

    A little tip: Never put a sign that says "free" on stuff you want people to take, it'll never get taken.

    Put a sign that says "$100" on it and it'll be gone in two minutes.

  3. toxic junk on China Bans U.S. Electronic Scrap · · Score: 3, Insightful

    It seems perfectly reasonable that they want to keep lead, mercury and all the other nasties out of their groundwater. This is definitely going to be a problem in the US within the next couple decades, and I wish we were as proactive as China.

    Christ, I just said I wish we were as proactive as China. Has hell frozen over or something?

    I think the Rooty Tooty Fresh n' Fruity is an IHOP product.

    Close enough.

    That kind of stretches the definition of theft a bit, doesn't it? I think we call that "murder" or something along those lines.

    Anyway, people who kill people aren't bad for software businesses, pirates are.

    Communists are, too.

  10. Re:yay. this is fun. on Carmack on Doom 3 Video Cards · · Score: 5, Funny

    Ok, first off, nobody makes more money than god. Churches are very profitable businesses.

    Second off, sweet christ that was a terrible analogy, if only because maybe five guys in the world can relate.

    Thirdly (and lastly, my beer isn't getting any cooler), why shouldn't there be a high end pc games market? Porsche doesn't have to use geo metro engines so that geo metro owners don't feel left out.

    Lastly (I lied about the last one), of course you can't get money back that you spend. This is one of the fundamental tenets of capitalism. I'm afraid you're just going to have to get used to it.

    a) It's not. Go figure. No point in bitching about it, though.
