  1. Re:It's not Windows' fault on Windows Is 'Insecure By Design,' Says Washington Post · · Score: 1

    Ooooo - wonderful idea. Why *should* Microsoft conform to old 'legacy' standards... I for one hope they re-engineer the internet in Bill's image (or Ballmer's). The internet will become a puffy turtle-like entity with only 6 ports - one for the head and tail, and one for each leg. During a virus attack the internet will simply pull its-self into the shell, safe, unless someone turns it on it's back...

  2. At 17" I learned the truth. on Toshiba Introduces A 17"-Screen Laptop · · Score: 1

    that small sized screens were of less use
    at 6.8 pounds not too dense,
    My screen is bright and quite immense.

    It has always been the same old game
    my vision suffered just the same
    from screens that lacked of quality
    to use them showed frivolity

    But now I have my new g4
    I'll look at tiny type no more

    (ok I'll stop now - but I love my 17" PB)

  3. Heh! I wonder if they... on Making Ice Cream With Liquid Nitrogen · · Score: 2, Funny

    used liquid nitrogen to keep the server from melting when this got posted...

  4. An alternative... on A Mighty Wind · · Score: 1

    a massive generator attached by special gearing and a chain to a set of enviromentalist backpedals. The more they backpedal - the more electricity is produced. Add in a collector for Walter Cronkite's hot air and voila!

    Tip your waitress and... try the fish!

  6. Re:2020! on 42-Volt Autos · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Rap won't fade away - they'll kill each other off. It's all part of the new reality entertainment and part of the circuses we'll watch while Rome burns.

  7. Re:If people really cared... on 42-Volt Autos · · Score: 4, Funny

    ...and everyone would live forever, and no puppies would ever die and Al Gore was president and you had a meaningful relationship... Gosh - then things would just be so swell.

  8. Re:Is it real? on On the Gripping Hand · · Score: 2, Funny

    >>nobody'd like to get a firm handshake from a robot... it's scary, you know.

  9. ode to IE on Microsoft Kills Off Mac IE, Blames Safari · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Hail internet explorer on the Mac!

    I'll get it.

    And to the guy above who whined "I don't wanna pay 99 cents per song - I'd pay 25 cents" shut the hell up. The line in the sand will never be drawn if people keep moving the ground. 99 cents is a start and a damn good one.

    Steve has pretty good taste in music - I think we'll see his touch on the opening set at least...

  17. Now here's a question on Keyboard Layouts for the 21st Century? · · Score: 1

    How'd they type on Star Trek TNG? - couldn't see any keys just a screen and a button... (maybe it was an Apple keyboard)

  18. The BSA song on Is the BSA "Grace Period" a Scam? · · Score: 1

    *to the tune of 'I'm a lumberjack'* (um - kinda - use it as a general guideline)

    Yes I'm your man from BSA!

  25. no... on Rosen Floats ISP Fee Idea -- Charge Everybody! · · Score: 2, Funny

    it would be 'pollution'.
    You'd get a nasty fine and have to clean it up. There'd also probably be a civil suit from a group of local fishermen who want damages. The tea company that happens to make the brand you used will also take you to court for some sort of defamation. Last - once this hit the press, PETA would picket your house/place of business for abusing fish.
