  1. Re:Security isn't something you "cook" on Linux Security Cookbook · · Score: 1

    Nope. Baking is cooking. So I'm still confused.

    Food + Heat = Cooking

    Remember?

  2. Re:Linux no access on Buy.Com Debuts Music Download Site · · Score: 1

    Your analogy doesn't work. A better fitting analogy would be:

    Location: Ford Dealership
    Setting: Garage

    Manager: "I'm sorry sir, you drove here in a Chevy. We can't sell you parts. We only sell Ford parts here."
    Customer: "But I have a Ford at home. I want to buy parts for it."

    See, he wants to look. He's not asking for their service; He's just asking to see their inventory.

  9. Re:Admit it: cellphones are toys! on The State Of Cellphone Gaming · · Score: 2, Funny

    Word up, yo.

    My fiancee and I are both software engineers. I think that would make us fairly techno-savvy people and we like gadgets. We don't have a mobile phone, though. (See, I even use the proper term 'mobile' because cellphones are a subset of mobile phones.) We don't need one. We have a phones at our homes. Sure, I can see their true, valued use in emergency situations. But why do I need some turkey next to me on the bus yelling, "Yo! You gonna be at Luther's crib tonight? What? What?" And why did I almost get hit head on last night on Silver Lane by a woman in a minivan who was (1) on the cellphone, (2) eating, and (3) digging in her purse as she drove straight towards me on my side of the road?

    Bollocks to mobile phones! If you play games on your phone, take pictures with your phone, or shoot video with your phone, then come see me and I'll show you where to put that phone.

    HELLO!? WHAT!? NO, I'M AT THE LIBRARY. NO, IT'S RUBBISH. YEAH, LIKE A PRISON. CIAO!

  10. Re:ah... famicon on Nintendo's Famicom Turns 20 · · Score: 1

    Before anyone in my neighborhood got their Nintendos I had a 2600. We blew on those cartridges, too. Also, they had these two little spring loaded prongs that had some mechinical significance to the insertion of the cartridge. Anyway, I was convinced that if you pushed those prongs in a couple of times it did something to clean the cirucuits on the inside of the cartrige.

    River Raid needed to be prong-cleaned every time I wanted to play it. Adventure always worked. That's a damn shame since I remember having a dream where that freakin' duck chased me to my grandma's house and bit my ear. I woke up and had an earache and wanted to sleep with my parents.

    Excitebike was great. But one thing that I really loved was Super Mario Kart on SNES. I didn't have an SNES, and never played any other games than that one, but I remember having sleepover's at Steve-Dave's house and playing that game all night and eating chocolate covered pretzels. We called it "Naked-Robber," but most people know it as Super Mario Kart.

    Here comes the barrage of "proving they can do it without considering if they should do it" posts. Well, here's a good reason why I'd want to clone mammoths: They'd make great pets. Kind of like Porno for Pyros would. Except that their prohibitive size would mean you'd probably have to hire a poopsmith just to clean up after the fucker!

  21. Re:Felony? on House Bill to Make File-Sharing an Automatic Felony · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I'm not for bills like this, and I certainly don't side with RIAA and MPAA, but I think so many here are missing the point. There's a difference between leaving a CD at your buddy's house and putting your CD on KaZaa (or whatever goofy capitalization they use). When you leave it at your buddy's house, you no longer have it. He can listen to it. You can't. On the other hand, I have different fingers. I mean, on the other hand, when you post the CD on KazAA you still have it and can still listen to it. As can anyone that downloads it from you. It's not sharing, it's copying. If you made a copy of a CD and left that copy at your buddies house, never expecting to get that copy back, then there would be a problem and someone would care.
