  3. If it crashes... on Penguin Car Earns Indy500 Spot · · Score: 4, Funny

    it'll probably be because of a faulty driver.

  4. I know what you're thinking. on Microsoft Says Free Software Violates 235 Patents · · Score: 3, Funny

    "Did he infringe 235 patents or only 347?" Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I kind of lost track myself. But being as this is a GPL License, the most powerful free software agreement in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself a question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, Ballmer?

  5. Now we'll be able to meet in *person* on Dell Rethinking the Direct-Sales Market · · Score: 1

    someone who calls himself 'Larry' but whose real name is Rajesh. The Dell(ple) Stores will be easy to find. They'll be right next to your friendly neighborhood Indian restaurant.

    I can see the Dr. Evil making plans now.

  7. I got ya patent *right here* on Truth Behind the ClearType/OpenSUSE FUD · · Score: 4, Funny

    Ballmer asked his lawyers for a patent on his peener
    The prototype was quarter scale and looked like a pipe cleaner
    Prior art be damned! He told the counsels - get to working!
    I can prove it's novel just by bellowing and jerking!

  8. It's like a herpes flare up... on Sunspots Reach 1000-Year Peak · · Score: 1

    about a thousand years ago our Sun was gettin' busy. That's our boy! I'm verclemt... *sniff!*
    I'll bet she was hot!

  9. Zune poem on Microsoft Considering Subsidizing Zune Sales · · Score: 1

    Who would it have hurt
    if the premature squirt
    had lasted a reasonable time?

    Well, the R.I.A.A.
    which still to this day
    sees squirting as some sort of crime

    If you own a Zune
    and seek to commune
    with others to squirt and to share

    You ought to buy two
    for they're scarce and they're few
    to see one in public is rare.

  11. I hear... on CompUSA Closing More Than 50 Percent of Stores · · Score: 1

    they're working a deal with Apple for a 'store within a store' inside Apple stores. It's to fit in with Steve's Zen philosophy - they need an Idiot Bar to provide balance.

    I couldn't have said it any better. Been there - done that - t-shirt - etc.

  13. You sir.... on Newton's Ghost Haunts Apple's iPhone · · Score: 1

    are the voice of reason. I did own a Newton. It did rock. We paid over $1000 for those puppies (years ago!) and there was no wireless. Now, the iPhone will have wireless, internet and pda function... at 500-600ish in todays dollars... I think it has a very good chance.

  14. I'm glad this is finally out... on Listing of Vista Drivers · · Score: 1

    At last we have a list of these vista drivers! There is nothing more dangerous than people driving around, not paying attention and looking off in to the distance! Now you can tell if your neighbor or one of your family members is a vista driver. People that drive like this are a traffic hazard and a menace to society! Why, just the other day, I was driving to work and beside me was someone - not paying attention - looking off into the dist...
    What? what do you mean? oh... not those drivers? Vista is a what? Oh. ok. Sorry. I use a Mac. I didn't know...

    ...
    Nevermind.

    Perhaps for a potential discount on movies?

  16. Well this proves it... on Earth's Constant Hum Explained · · Score: 5, Funny

    We're living inside an inter-galactic boy band.

    Venus is the hot one and will turn out to be gay (natch, I mean Venus?)
    Earth is the um, down-to-earth one - full of life.
    Mars - the cold and distant one - always at war with the other members
    Jupiter - slightly overweight - jolly
    Saturn - Gaudy over-compensator wears lots of jewelry and rings - looks up to Jupiter

    Hot headed Mercury - left in a huff to form his own band - his manager is the real star though.
    Uranus was an asshole and left before fame came.
    Neptune - always blue, committed suicide after what happened to Pluto...
    Pluto? Well, Pluto was thrown out when it was discovered he never could sing.

  19. It's kinda like the French Revolution... on Gates Proclaims Internet to Revolutionize TV in 5 Years · · Score: 1

    He's Louis, Balmer's Marie. Viva La Revolution!

  20. Re:Mobile Networks for the Rest of Us on Apple Turning Cell Phone Market Upside Down? · · Score: 1

    And when the lawsuits shake out to the point where Apple can let us make calls when our phone dynamically switches it's data connection to an open WiFi network - without us having to think about it - that's the beginning of us prying open the fingers of the cell phone carriers from around our throats, so we can pay more for maintaining an account with the Wifi areas we frequent most. There ain't and won't ever be a free lunch. At least when we go home the phone'll switch over to our house wifi. Lot's of cool possibilities there. But even then, who sells us that Wifi bandwidth? Uh-huh. Most of the time - the same core corporation that probably sells you cell service. TANJ!

  21. An easy answer... on The Mystery of Saturn's Atmosphere · · Score: 1

    Examine Julia Roberts in her prime, now there's something that was hotter than can be explained. I mean, just look at any one part of her and you think... meh. But pull the camera back, take her all in at once and boom! - more hotness than can be explained! Once they figure out Julia - mystery's over.
