  1. Re:Tagged appleduh on Vista - iPod Killer? · · Score: 5, Funny


    Couldn't afford either, huh?

  2. Re:Fool... on Uncle Sam Spoils Dream Trip To Space · · Score: 1

    Oddly enough, just about 4 years ago. Toyota Tacoma TRD. Cash on the barrel.

    Previous truck had just rolled 10 years, might have had something to do with the ability.

  3. Bet on Open Standards Planned For Next NASA Telescope · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Five bucks says this system never sees the light of day. Already way over budget.

  4. Usually works on Expensive U.S. Spy Satellite Not Working · · Score: 2, Funny

    A good slap on the side of the cabinet.

  5. Re:He got to see the director's cut! on Revisiting the Physics of Buckaroo Banzai · · Score: 1


    True, but since the scenes were filmed they may have been present in earlier edits of the film.

  6. Re:WTF? on NASA's Rollercoaster For Moon Rocket Escape · · Score: 1


    Of course with the building having been hit by an airliner, an earthquake or perhaps fire, those computer systems and associated hardware will be functioning just dandy. Lets not forget the panicing.

    Double duh

  7. Re:It does not matter if they are concerned on Students Protest Turnitin.com · · Score: 1

    But how do we know it's thier work. And how will we know if someone at a later date tries to pawn off this work as thier own.

    Curious, what's the difference between the written essay and the recorded song?

  8. Re:The problem is not the bomb itself on Iranian Heavy Water Nuke Plant Goes Online Today · · Score: 1


    Your obviously missing the point. You've got the war in Afganistan. You've got a war in Iraq. Two wars in two places.

    Now what country is between those two places?

    Iran.

    Go to war with Iran and now you've got one big war in one spot.

    Economy of scale.

  9. Re:Force-Feeding on IE7 to be Pushed to Users Via Windows Update · · Score: 1


    Kind of like getting an AOL disk in the mail. Big deal, move on.

  10. Re:Dupe! on Deja Vu Recreated in a Lab Setting · · Score: 1

    It all sounds like some bad movie

  11. Re:Magnets?? on UK Street Crime Rise Blamed on iPods · · Score: 2, Funny


    And you wonder why people have laughed at you for demonstrating your ability to crush beer cans?

  12. Re:Record Clubs on Netflix Users Experience Paradox of Abundance · · Score: 3, Funny

    The technique that always worked with me was to die three to four months after getting my 10 albums for 10 cents.

    A nice weepy letter from a mom about the death of her son Mike Hunt in a tragic weedeater incident. Another semester, a new mailing address and IP Freely would be recieving his 10 albums, his life to end abruptly in a boiler explosion.

  13. Why on The Making of a Motherboard at ECS · · Score: 1


    Why do this reviews always strike me as having been written in the style of a sixth graders "What I Did On My Summer Vacation"?

    Is technical writing something we'll be farming out to China also?

  14. Re:In case of /.'ing on Bellagio Fountains Recreated with Mentos and Coke · · Score: 2, Insightful


    Not that Kari isn't appealing, but that's just sad. Anything for a couple bucks I guess.

  15. For Christs Sake on Wal-mart's Wikipedia War · · Score: 3, Insightful

    It's a fucking store. Nothing more, nothing less. Channel your passion into something more worthwhile.

  16. Re:Half a world away? on Sci-Fi Weapons to Join US Arsenal? · · Score: 1


    Probably, but you have a limited loadout. With the plane you can simply land and rearm.

  17. Re:Um on FCC Extends VoIP 911 Deadline · · Score: 4, Interesting


    So let's say I'm over at my neighbors house and they suffer a heart attack. Should I stop and quizz them as to the functionality of 911 with thier service provider. Think a 5 or 6 year old child understands the implications?

    911 exists for a reason, to rapidly and effectively provide emergency service.

  18. Re:Um on FCC Extends VoIP 911 Deadline · · Score: 2, Insightful


    The fact that someone lost a child due to the inability of contacting emergency services is tragic. One should expect this basic ability for any phone service.

  19. Spock Claims It Illogical on FCC Extends VoIP 911 Deadline · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Fantastic logic, that FCC.

    Since you haven't acknowledged the 911 issue, we're gonna disconnect your phone.

    Maybe the Surgeon General should adopt the same tactic for smoking, ripping out your lungs for refusing to acknoledge the dangers of cigarettes.

    This shit can only be brought to us by the same fun filled people who gave us the Iraqi war.

  20. Re:Operation on Amazon to Enter the Online DVD Rental Business · · Score: 1


    Just cause thier stock value went up doesn't mean they're making profit.

    Remember the days of sock puppets and on-line grocery shopping?

  21. Off To The Final Frontier on Star Trek's Scotty Dies at 85 · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Go Emu, Go Emu !!

  23. Often Wonder on Firefox Continues to Bite into IE Usage · · Score: 3, Funny

    use of Firefox rose to 6.17% from 5.59% in January

    I always like how they manage to get these results out to the second decimal place.

    I converted, IE evil, FireFox good. I'm warming to ThunderTurd.

    Your name wouldn't be Mr. Obvious, would it?

  25. Re:Now correct me if im wrong... on Judge Finds For Apple in ThinkSecret Case · · Score: 1


    Sure, but would Tom, Alex, Jim and John have published a companys trade secrets/confidential information in exchange for web site traffic?

    Being a professional journalist might actually require having a bit of responsibility, respect and common sense.

    Using the prevailing bloggers are journalists opinion, I could post anonymous pics of you buggering the neighbors dog and be free of reprecussions, correct?
