  1. Yet Again.. on The Plastic Fractal Magnet · · Score: 2, Funny

    Plastics make it possible =)

  2. Keenspace? on New Resource for Online Comic Artists · · Score: 2, Informative

    I've read several good online comics which were hosted by keenspace, which hosts them for free, along with a few ads (nothing truly annoying, its nice.)

  3. Contray to popular belief.. on Total Solar Eclipse at Ceduna, South Australia · · Score: 4, Funny

    staring directly at a solar eclipse is not a good idea..

  4. Re:Very effective. on Sanyo Announces "Banryu" Home Security Robot · · Score: 2, Funny

    Please... This has got to be one of the lamest gadgets I've ever heard of. You'll get better performance out of a few well placed web cams, some infrared motion detectors, and a smoke alarm or two. At least then you won't have to worry about the batteries wearing down every other day.

    Yes, but what it lacks in actual usefulness it makes up for in being sooo cute!

  5. Must have "Critic" Reference: on Sanyo Announces "Banryu" Home Security Robot · · Score: 5, Funny

    Robocop: "Freeze dirtbag."

    Criminal claps

  6. Re:obSimpsons on The Measured Effectiveness of Blocking Asian Spam · · Score: 1

    haha, perfect, I was just _waiting_ for someone to say that!

    Mod Parent Up! =)

  7. Government will announce next.. on The Measured Effectiveness of Blocking Asian Spam · · Score: 5, Funny

    that Canada is indeed just above us on a map.

  8. Is this legal? on Fake Your Own .Mac Server · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    Somehow, it seems to me it could not possibly be.. (nor is it very ethical)

  9. "The Pentagon Wants Your Secrets" on The Pentagon Wants Your Secrets · · Score: 1

    Too bad; they can't have them! =P

  10. Hrmm.. on EU Anti-Hate Laws On The Web · · Score: 1

    I'm not a big fan of hate groups and messages, but I do believe in freedom of speech and I find this offensive.

  11. Re:Three Screens... on Multi-Display Graphics Suites Compared · · Score: 1

    Hrrm, I seemed to have forgotten to marked that anonymous coward... damn.

  12. Three Screens... on Multi-Display Graphics Suites Compared · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    ... means three times as much pr0n. Keep that in mind gentlemen.

  13. Come get some karma... on Root Zone Changed · · Score: 1, Interesting

    What exactly is a root zone?

  14. Stolen... on Indecision 2002 · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Wasn't Indecision 2000 the name of the campaign news on the Daily Show?

  15. Actual Quote... on Linus Explains his Patch Policy · · Score: 4, Funny

    "Well, first I write down my options, and then I drop a pen from about 5 feet up and..."

  16. ffooosh! on Skateboarding AIBO · · Score: 3, Funny

    WTF was that!?

    Oh, just another robotic dog on a skateboard..

  17. Surprising (Or Doubtful) on The Aging Gamer · · Score: 1

    I find it surprising (or doubtful, if you wish to be a cynic) that most gamers are over 35. I am only 17, but I've been playing online games for a few years now, and console games since before I can remember (NES is the shit!) And when I think about it, there are MASSES of kids who own various consoles (and often, several consoles) and PC's with games... And sure, I know lots of older people play games too, I'm sure when I'm all grown up and have a job I'll keep up my geeky habits, but I'd think that as you got older, many people would stop playing games...

    PS: My graphing calculator is not just a handy tool; its also loaded with my favorite NES games for when calculus and physics become a tad tedious ;)

  18. Interesting Comparrison... on Exchange Email Addresses With A Handshake · · Score: 1

    The number of posts which correlate penis size to bandwidth doesn't surprise me: geeks have been "measuring up" to each other that way for years...

  19. Re:Total opposite? on Violent Games Good for Kids · · Score: 1

    Even I'm guilty of this. I get midly pissed off if I own someone and they go "luck" or "won't happen again". I've seen people that shout "BS" after every single death, it's pretty fucking sad.

    Ahh yes, reminiscent of my tekken 4 matches as of late... You pull off one good move or catch them off guard and they start screaming about how much bullsh*t that is! This usually makes me laugh at their incompetence; rather than get frustrated. I know I beat their asses fair and square, so what if they need to make themselves feel better by saying it was luck or bull.

    PS: CS is about the most frustrating game in the world and I think people with anger management problems should have to carry cards which deny them from playing HL mods.

  20. Noooo... on State of Online Music: RIAA's Efforts Paying Off · · Score: 1

    Record labels know what consumers want. We all do. They want a Napster you pay for. We all know that.

    Actually, no, thats not what people want. People want the original Napster, in all its free goodness. This is why KaZaa and the like are popular (despite their crappiness); because people like free stuff!

  21. Hrmm... on Public Domain Superheroes? · · Score: 1

    Am I going to have to agree to some sort of GPL to read comics now?

  22. Reminds me of... on EFNet Reaches 100,000 Concurrent Connections · · Score: 1

    Reminds me of those crazy college contests where 25 drunk frat guys try and fit into a beetle...

    "theres enough room for maybe 1,000 more users in this room here, if you squeeze!"

  23. Re: MacGyver on Build Your Own Subwoofer · · Score: 4, Funny

    Ooooh, for a moment when they said "Build your own subwoofer," I thought they meant out of spare parts at home.

    Actually, he meant, out of parts taken from another subwoofer...

    See what happens when you have old episodes of MacGyver on tape?

    MacGyver could break out of a turkish prison with a straw and a toothpick...

  24. Could someone tell me... on More on Bayesian Spam Filtering · · Score: 1

    ... what exactly bayesian means?

  25. Thats no moon... on Is This Moon Three? · · Score: 1

    ... oh wait, yes it is...
