  1. Re:25M? 60M? miles? meters? on Listen to the Sky · · Score: 1

    No, only 99 Luftbaloons. Dunno about the rest tho.

  2. It suddenly occurs to me on Microsoft Authorized Refurbishers · · Score: 1

    that this will probably have a *much* better effect on their bottom line than any of their "openness" here in the US.

  3. Re:Burden the taxpayer on Are You Reporting Your Internet Purchases? · · Score: 1

    Come to think of it... I make my car payment online. Hrmmmm....

  4. Re:Yeah, I can see this working. *cough* on Are You Reporting Your Internet Purchases? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Two words: Al Capone

  5. I have to wonder on Exotic Wood Computer Cases · · Score: 2, Funny

    How's the bass? how much sake?

  6. Re:Ok.... on Draft of 'Broadcast Flag' Treaty Now Available · · Score: 1

    Heh. I actually stopped watching broadcasts altogether when MTV first started this lame-ass "I wanna get laid so bad" bullshit with beach parties and rap. The only reason I saw the Matrix is because I went to the theater. Haven't seen much since; I get my news from the 'net. And guess what? I don't think I'm missing anything. Same thing goes for the RIAA.

  7. Re:I'm really hoping on Installing Linux on a Dead Badger · · Score: 1

    Actually, no. Next will be 200 monkeys. Dead ones. One of them will be wet and have linux installed. One of them will be frozen and have linux installed. 198 of them will be charred and have linux installed. The garbage man will refuse them all, and everyone else is *still* an ingrate. The genitals have seen better days.

    "Seriously, since when are the stories suposed to be as craptacular as the comments?"

    Well, maybe that's the point Michael is trying to make... maybe the craptacular comments get on his nerves. Of course, I've had a few brews and feel generous ATM too. But just in case...

  9. Re:Next PETA demonstration on Installing Linux on a Dead Badger · · Score: 1

    ...time to move to New Zealand, after seeing that...

  10. Re:Spaf... hacked .. ???? on Interview with Eugene Spafford · · Score: 1

    Yeah yer ok -- he mentioned it in one of his articles (can't be arsed to dig it out ATM). Back when Clifford Stoll was going big-time IIRC. Speaking of hacks, was anyone else reading this thread at 0? The whole 8878xxx UID block woulda been banned if it was me...

  11. Bummer. on U.S. Justice Department Prepares Assault on Pr0n · · Score: 1

    n/t - see topic. Laugh.

  12. My memories of the blackout on Task Force Finds Blackout Was Preventable · · Score: 1

    It was dark. Also, it really sucked being forced offline.

  13. Re:The "Biggest" on Giant Sub-Woofer · · Score: 1

    Although they're in a different class, I used to own 4 Klipsch corner horns which made good use of room effects. 2 of them were in the rear, connected to the center channel. Modifying the house was out of the question, so I was happy with it. A Walkman would easily fill the room with Bach and Strauss. As it is, the 30-watt amps I normally used allowed me to hear the entire piece while I was outside mowing the lawn. Also FWIW I have seen straight (unfolded) bass horns using 20-inch drivers. Even though they were tuned for 1/2 wave, they would literally rattle your ribs from 300 yards distant.

  14. Re:This is /.! on Microsoft WiX Code Released to SourceForge.Net · · Score: 1

    You don't suppose that RH and Suse (among others) are for-profit corporations? And no, I don't think Microsoft is being nice.

  15. Re:Get a national sales tax already on States Link Databases to Find Tax Cheats · · Score: 1
    Heh. My (former) doctor (now a State inmate) tried that one. True story: I slammed down half a pound of apple sauce an hour before the appointment.

    He never called me again, after that.

  16. Re:"Relevant" ads... on New Wave of Web Ads? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Don't feel too bad; I was searching for a gender changer once and the search results were *ahem*.....

  17. Re:What, no editorial? on Red Hat Recap · · Score: 1

    No, you pay for five copies if you want support for five copies. Somehow, I don't see that as a GPL restriction, just a business restriction.

  18. Re:Grammer Trolling my own post on Zero Install: The Future of Linux on the Desktop? · · Score: 1
    Spelling troll: "Grammer" ---> Grammar.

    And no, I didn't use preview either. I just didn't *have* to.

  19. Linus has a reply... on SCO Changes Tune, Again: Linux Now Just a Riff on Unix · · Score: 2, Informative
    here.

    Just to let people know that it's not all one-sided.

  20. Re:Follow these directions. on Death by Coffee? · · Score: 1

    Ah... so that's what happened to me Monday at work...

  21. Re:One of those things that shouldn't surprise but on Pigeons' Bandwidth Advantage Quantified · · Score: 1

    I wonder about ducks in that regard... 100km/hr but lousy homing instincts.

  22. Re:Oh, shit... on Subdomains Part Of The Patent Frenzy · · Score: 1

    Well, ok... same basic idea and intent.

  23. Re:Oh, shit... on Subdomains Part Of The Patent Frenzy · · Score: 1

    No, because death implies that they can't feel pain from the beatings anymore. And yes, shit like this makes me feel that mean.

  24. Oh, shit... on Subdomains Part Of The Patent Frenzy · · Score: 3, Insightful
    I've tolerated PanIP, I'm tolerating SCO (sort of - thanks, PJ), and now this subdomain thing. I'm running low on my tolerance lately and starting to wonder if some people/organizations need to have acceptable behavior beaten into them. You know, like not trying to steal everything in sight. Corporate kleptomania.

    It sure isn't helping anything that what's *legal* varies from what's *ethical*. And then combine that with a clueless USPTO and a pile of ambulance-chasers...

    Sorry, just had to vent it; I'm pissed.

  25. Re:More information on the Witty Worm on Analysis of the Witty Worm · · Score: 4, Informative

    Before it gets slashdotted even.
