  1. Re:I have a Mac on Only 39% Curse At Their Computers? · · Score: 1

    Mac users swear by their computers. PC users swear at their computers.

  2. She better hurry. on Sarah Palin Seeks To Trademark Her Name · · Score: 1

    If she doesn't get this done really quickly, Mattel will make a Caribou Barbie doll before she gets a chance to stop them.

  3. Re:Can you con an honest man? on Man Loses Millions In Bizarre Virus-Protection Scam · · Score: 2, Insightful

    If the scammer uses the right approach, anyone can be conned. The ones who think they are too smart are usually easy marks.

    Domo Arigato, Mr. Roboto!

  6. Re:Question of the Day on Bill Gates Doesn't Work At Microsoft Anymore · · Score: 1

    I think a clown suit would be better. He looks like Zippy The Pinhead.

  7. Like Domino Sugar vs Domino's Pizza on ThinkGeek's Best Ever Cease-and-Desist Letter · · Score: 1

    Domino Sugar sued Domino's Pizza for trademark infringement. For a while, they changed their name to Pizza Dispatch. The courts eventually ruled that the products were so dissimilar that no confusion in the marketplace was likely to occur, therefore no infringement. A vaguely similar phrase describing a fictional product would probably be considered non-infringing as well, but think geek does not have the kind of money to defend itself like Domino's did. It is a shame that frivolous cease and desist letters and lawsuits aren't a criminal offense.

  8. Re:Yay ignorance. on Pressure Mounts On ICANN To Approve .xxx Domain · · Score: 1

    Why not .cum?

  9. Re:The usual on Microsoft Wins Windows XP Downgrade Lawsuit · · Score: 1

    Bribery and graft are simply how business is done, and Microsoft has a lot of moolah to grease palms with.

  10. Re:No good on Microsoft Wins Windows XP WGA Lawsuit · · Score: 1

    Linux is too complicated for 99.999% of the public. As long installing new software isn't as simple as clicking on an icon, this will always be so. Hate Windows? Get a Mac.

  11. Re:No good on Microsoft Wins Windows XP WGA Lawsuit · · Score: 1

    Don't fix a computer with no COA unless they can bring you the original CD and COA, or are willing to buy a copy of Windows.

  12. I propose that SETI be re-purposed into STI, the search for terrestrial intelligence. The only downside is that it probably won't find much either. It sure wouldn't find this guy.

  13. Re:Bribery on Mark Cuban's Plan To Kill Google · · Score: 1

    Even if they got away with taking a bribe, they would still end up losing. Google is the one search engine that works worth a damn. Yahoo drifts off topic in no time, and Bing is just lipstick on the Live Search pig.

  14. Lawsuits are not enough on Microsoft Files Suits Against "Malvertisers" · · Score: 1

    Microsoft should hire some hitmen and have them whacked.

  15. Corporate propaganda on RIAA's Elementary School Copyright Curriculum · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Corporate propaganda passed off as school curriculum? Only in the United States of Avarice.

  16. Re:broken by design on eBay Denies New Design Is Broken, Blames Users · · Score: 1

    If you fix what ain't broke, you get something that is.

  17. Re:Of course on Looking For a Link Between Sci-Fi UFOs and UFO Reports · · Score: 1

    The Air Force discovered that drunks and stoners who live near airports spot a lot of UFOs.

  18. Re:The coverup will continue on Images of Apollo Landing Sites Soon Available · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Seriously or sarcastically, I knew someone would say something like that. No matter how many experts say these photos are genuine, tinfoil hatters who want to believe they are photoshops still will.

  19. Migrate to Mac on Windows 7 Licensing a "Disaster" For XP Shops · · Score: 1, Troll

    Forget Windows forever. Next time your office needs new computers, migrate to Mac.

  20. Re:What have the Africans ever done for us? on Periodic Table Gets a New, Unnamed Element · · Score: 1

    No, coffee was first discovered in Ethiopia where it still grows wild. That is in Africa, in case you didn't know.

  21. Since the Germans discovered it.... on Periodic Table Gets a New, Unnamed Element · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Germans discovered it, so it will be called Nazium. I keed! I keed!

  22. Oh! me sooo horny! on GM's Hummer Brand To Be Sold To a Chinese Company · · Score: 1

    Chinese hummer for Joe? Five dollar.
