  1. Re:Let me know when its free to use on Nokia Develops a New Browser on Apple WebKit · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    And your reason for having a phone when you dont want to pay fees to use it is? ISP's must be quite bemused when you tell them you only want a modem/router from them because you dont want to pay for the bandwidth your connection would use.

  2. Re:No problems here on Jeff Bezos's Space Company Reveals Some Secrets · · Score: 5, Funny

    It is, all the rocket side of the business will be subcontracted to Acme, they have been in the business for years and really know their stuff.

  3. What an increibly underwhelming site on Jeff Bezos's Space Company Reveals Some Secrets · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Is this actually a real venture or just a pipe dream to conveniently write tax dollars off against?

  4. Re:Profit on Creative Commons & Webcomics · · Score: 1

    yes, but the real issue is whether any wildlife was harmed during your repeated stealing.

  5. Re:Profit on Creative Commons & Webcomics · · Score: 1

    For instance, I have a sizable music collection, because it has entertainment value to me. However I didn't pay for it because I didn't feel that it was worth supporting a greedy and corrupt industry.

    PMSL what a beautifully consise description of your own greed and willingness to steal the fruits of the labour of others.

  6. WTF? on SW Weenies: Ready for CMT? · · Score: 4, Funny

    and we don't know the answers, but I pulled together some of the questions."

    What is this now, Questions for Nerds. Stuff we dont know?

  7. rapturous critical acclaim on Can Hayao Miyazaki Save Disney's Soul? · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    usually means some pretentious quasi intellectual twats love it and the general public will hate it.

  8. Walking papers? on New NASA Admin Griffin Cleans House · · Score: 3, Funny

    Surely NASA should bind and gag you before strapping to you the back of a just about to be launched rocket if they were firing you.

  9. Hmmmmm on NYT Says Paperless Voting A Serious Problem · · Score: 4, Funny

    A paper comes out in favour of a paper trail. I think I see a vested interest.

  10. Re:If you are trying to take down iTune... on Microsoft's Music Subscription Service · · Score: 1

    This whole digital multimedia content thing has gone right over your head hasn't it.

  11. Re:With media player on Microsoft's Music Subscription Service · · Score: 1

    Its not using media player, it will use a completely new an apparently seperate client.

  12. Re:This market is already overcrowded!!! on Microsoft's Music Subscription Service · · Score: 3, Insightful

    You obviously missed Steve Jobs telling us Apple have 82% of the digital download market, I'd say we definitely need more players.

  13. (free registration yadda yadda) on Blackberry Future Uncertain · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Possibly the nicest thing anyone has ever said about NYT registration on this site.

  14. Dear God no on Simpsons Film in Preproduction · · Score: 1

    Just leave it as a tv series. 30 minute bursts of Simpson hilarity are enough for me, I struggle to watch two consecutive shows now because of the saturation the show has achieved. WTF are they going to do for 90+ mins with such well developed characters?

    I appreciate the show has been exceptional in its ability to make people laugh over 17 seasons but I really cant see a movie in it.

  15. Re:If builders built buildings.... on If Bad Software Developers Built Houses... · · Score: 3, Insightful

    the way programmers wrote programs, the first woodpecker to come along would destroy civilization.

    Well thats the problem with a lot of programmers, they write instead of building software. Lashing code into an editor is not substitute for a little though and a solid development process.

  16. These guys know what they are talking about on If Bad Software Developers Built Houses... · · Score: 2, Funny

    Just look at the beautiful design and layout of their site.

    Error establishing a database connection! This probably means that the connection information in your wp-config.php file is incorrect. Double check it and try again. * Are you sure you have the correct user/password? * Are you sure that you have typed the correct hostname? * Are you sure that the database server is running?

    Beautifully crisp, clean, clear and consise

  17. MyFolders died a few days go on The Death of Folders? · · Score: 1, Funny

    You insensitive clod!

  18. Re:ooooh on Windows to Have Better CLI · · Score: 1

    You obviously missed the CLI Clippy announcement, or Typpy as he is to be now known.

  19. Old news on Cold Fusion in a Breadbox Instead of a Bottle · · Score: 4, Funny

    McGuyver did this in Ep. 26 with a matchbox, two cotton buds, a filling from his tooth and some scotch tape.

  20. Dont bother competing on DARPA Announces 2005 Grand Challenge Semifinalists · · Score: 2, Funny

    I have entered my Terminator this year as I think he needs to interact with other machines more, I still expect him to destroy all the other competitors but a day out and some challenge-response kaboom action will probably do him no harm. Also if your name happens to be John Conner I would recommend staying away from the competition site.

  21. What took so long on Linux Kernel Gets Fully Automated Test · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Most projects of any complexity use automated continuous build and testing as a standard development practise.

  22. Re:What this proves out is.. on Mars Rover Breaks Free · · Score: 5, Funny

    Didn't you hear? They started broadcasting some of Bushes speeches to the Rover. The convulsions it suffered in response to George butchering the English language were enough to dislodge it.

  23. Mars Rover Breaks free on Mars Rover Breaks Free · · Score: 1

    and was last seen heading for the border.

  24. Poor Iraqis on Changing Planet Revealed In Atlas · · Score: 1

    The UN estimates war, pests and salt have destroyed 14 million palms.

    All that good Rosie luvin gone. Tragic.

  25. Re:Acid2 on Konqueror Passes the Acid2 Test Too · · Score: 4, Funny

    Its the exciting sequel to Acid1, The Dissolving. In the sequel the hero struggles valiantly with acid indigestion as he battles to save the world.
