  1. One of the obstacles... on Cybercafe At Mt. Everest · · Score: 2, Funny

    we'd have to overcome to get there is:

    x-wing:/# mount everest
    mount: can't find everest in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab

  2. It's a shame.. on Warcraft 3 Expansion Beta Signups Announced · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    It really is a shame they are not being very fast with updates expansions and releases of their product. Blizzard is one of the very few companies whos products i LOVE to buy.

  3. Re:Bad idea.. on DALnet For Chatting, Not File Sharing · · Score: 1

    I don't quite understand the "legal problems" you talk about... What happenned to a "being on this IRC network is not a right, but a privleledge. Access to it may be revoked without notice." (Or similar) in the MOTD ? I mean, why should you have to explain the reasons for banning some sort of content from your network? Who would request this explanation in such a way, that these requests cannot simply be ignored ?

  4. "Artists inspired by plain text" on Appreciation For All Things ASCII · · Score: 1

    telnet atztoj.i-am.ru

  5. Re:A Near Disaster on DVD: Degradable Versatile... · · Score: 2, Funny

    Actualy porn DVDs ARE the ones that are affected.
    the "rotting" effect observed is just what "overuse" got mistaken for.

  6. "Anime classes at your local tertiary institution" on More Anime College and University Courses Being Offered · · Score: 1, Redundant

    >I'd be happy to teach a class.
    Id' be happy to be in the class. But i doubt i'd make a career out of it - a career which could pay my bills. But thats just me:) And once again - it would be a fun class to attend.

  7. "Demolition Man" anyone? on Elect Steve Jobs President of the United States · · Score: 1

    - Arnold Schwarzenegger was a President??!! (c) John Spartan

  8. Slightly offtopic on The Speed Of Gravity Revealed · · Score: 1

    '...meaning that Einstein's general theory of relativity has passed another test with flying colours.'

    The above just made me remeber one of my school teachers. She used to say (translation from Russian) that "Einstein was just a pathetic jew who somehow for unknown reasons was let to do science."
    Heh..

  9. Need to cut down on beer... on Ring Of Stars Found Around Milky Way · · Score: 1

    ...cause i read the name of the article as:
    "Ringo Star found around Milky Way" :)

  10. How wonderful... on Putting A Lid On Chernobyl · · Score: 5, Insightful

    After this tragedy occured soldiers were volunteered
    to go there and die fighting with fire and radiation. Many lost their homes and were evacuted to the town i lived in. We got lucky - the wind was in the other direction. Nevertheless streets had to be washed literally - trucks were spraying water everywhere trying to wash off the radioactive dust.

    Many thousands of people died in Chernobyl. Many more are STILL dying from this disaster. It was a tragedy. Please don't joke about it. It's beyond "dark humor" IMHO.

  11. In... on Melting Away Ice Hazards · · Score: 0

    ... Soviet Russia - Ice is no obstacle (c) Mr. Petrenko.

    *dodging slaps*

  12. Security vs Convenience of use on Secure Interaction Design · · Score: -1, Redundant

    I found that one has to ballance between the two,
    most of the time, anyway.

  13. How nice... on E-Book Copy Protection, For What It's Worth · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    "WHSmith have challenged AudioBooksForFree.Com to _breaks_ Microsoft Reader e-book protection. AudioBooksForFree.com need to invest in a non-ebonics spellchecker.

  14. Um.. on KDE League .... Inc. No Longer? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    So what happened to the KDE League, an organization that at one point reportedly had more than $100,000 in its coffers

    A new company. New money. _Las Vegas_. Yeah...what in the world could have happened...

  15. Just imagine... on The Days of SysAdmin Numbered? · · Score: 1

    ... what effect this will have on Coke, Pizza and Beer industries...

  16. Re:is this a suprise? on LindowsOS Softens Microsoft-Compatibility Claim · · Score: 1

    Can you, Mac users, install any other operating system on the machine you buy ?
    Nope. You are bound to your "classic" and "X"
    for ever.

  17. Re:*newsflash* on Microsoft's Overlooked Code Theft · · Score: 1

    It is perfectly fine for a news company that majors in news on a certain medium to be openly against some other medium. It would however be unacceptable for "all around" news companies, like CNN for example.

  18. Re:did you read his message? on More on Kazaa and Brilliant Digital Spyware · · Score: 1

    Stop saying "firewall" when talking about zonealarm and the likes. It's a joke, not a firewall. A simple 486 dx4 with some unix/linux
    on it will do a far better job.
