  1. Firefox just gets better and better on Batch-o-Moz: Firefox, Thunderbird, Suite Released · · Score: 1

    Some nice new features in the new release. The search kicks ass. So does the yellow bar for secure pages.

  2. Can you trust Infogrames to get these right? on Atari To Release Old Games and New Console System · · Score: 1

    They couldn't even get the Atari logo right! Ch-check it out!

  3. Q: Is that a chip on your shoulder? on Grow Your Own Replacement Bones · · Score: 1

    A: Nah, I'm growing a spare cocyx.

  4. Don't forget Andy Kaufman's Contribution on Blade Runner Is The Best Sci-Fi Film · · Score: 1

    Heartbeeps was classic sci-fi.

  5. Damn you Britney! on Winamp Skin Exploit in the Wild · · Score: 5, Funny

    I knew that your oh-so-sexy winamp skin would be my downfall.

  6. Re:Sold to DVD Makers on MPAA Sues DVD Chip Manufacturers · · Score: 2, Funny

    The usuals suspects: Sorny, Magnetbox, Panaphonics...

    Don't sue me Matt Groening, please!

  7. That's great, but... on Transparent Aluminum Is Here · · Score: 2, Funny

    I still can't talk to my mouse. How long do I have to wait for that?

  8. Why are we looking for water? on Mars Rovers Find More Evidence of Water · · Score: 1

    Don't we already have enough here? If NASA needs water, they should just get it by hijacking an iceberg, like that guy on Salvage 1 did over 20 years ago.

  9. cool. on It's Just the 'internet' Now? · · Score: 1

    Now if only someone could convince the NY Times (and many others) to stop using CD's as the plural of CD, I'll be very very happy.

  10. The floppy is on the way out? on Ultra Fast Disk Drives With No Moving Parts · · Score: 4, Funny

    Maybe that's why Activision won't sell me a version of Doom 3 on 1,300 floppies. Why didn't anyone tell me this before?

  11. The recognized developer is... on Life After Doom · · Score: 2, Funny

    Epic Megagames.
    You heard it here first.
    Uhh, I mean, you read it here first.


    I'm totally making this up, like usual.

  12. What will it take? on What Will It Take For eBook Adoption? · · Score: 0

    We'll have to run out of trees.

  13. Minimum requirements for... ? on Doom 3 System Requirements Revealed · · Score: 2, Insightful

    One thing the article doesn't mention -- what these requirements mean. If I meet the minimum requirements, will I have to play it at 640x480 with all of the bells and whistles off, or are those the minimum requirements for a good, immersive, full-on Doom 3 experience?

  14. Of course! on Ammonia Could Indicate Life On Mars · · Score: 1

    Even space aliens need clean windows and deodorized trash cans!

  15. Re:Hah! on Mozilla Foundation Now IRS 501(c)(3) Approved · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Microsoft may not be 501(c)(3) approved, but they do get some nice tax breaks, which I'm sure help:
    Microsoft enjoyed more than $12 billion in total tax breaks over the past five years. In fact, Microsoft actually paid no tax at all in 1999, despite $12.3 billion in reported U.S. profits. Microsoft's tax rate for the past two years was only 1.8 percent on $21.9 billion in pretax U.S. profits.

  16. Tiger Beat! on What Magazines Do You Read? · · Score: 1

    Tiger Beat! and Dynamite!

    (and other magazines that end with exclamation points)

  17. Is this that "new computer" smell... on Is Your Computer Leaking Toxic Dust? · · Score: 1

    That goes away all too soon?

  18. 50 million people die of old age every year? on Engineering An End to Aging · · Score: 1

    I didn't think anyone died of old age. It's all the nasty stuff that comes with aging...

  19. Can't anyone make a DIFFERENT cgi movie? on Shrek 2 How-To · · Score: 0, Troll

    I haven't seen Shrek 2, but from what I've read and heard, it's very much like the original, which is a lot like Toy Story, Ice Age, Finding Nemo, etc. Why do all big cgi movies have to follow the same basic comic plot. I'm wowed by the animation, but bored by the stories of these flicks.

  20. The Eden Express on Schizophrenia Experiences and Suggestions? · · Score: 1

    The Eden Express by Mark Vonnegut (Kurt's son) may be a good book to check out to aid in understanding what a person goes through. Mark explains dealing with his own schizophrenia first-hand. As this happened in the '60s in a commune of sorts the setting is a bit removed, but the thoughts and feelings I'm told are pretty accurate.

    Also, on NPR.org there is a schizophrenia simulator which may also aid in understanding what the person may be going through:

  21. Also, what is Porn? on FTC Porn Spam Regulation Now in Effect · · Score: 1

    sounds silly, but how does one differentiate?
    Will the tons of emails I get to add 2" to my schlong now contain required the subject line? Is that also porn?

  22. Re:itunes is awesome, but... on How To Play Your iTunes Music On Other Systems · · Score: 1

    Yeah. So what if it's unprotected? What can play m4p files (or whatever they are) anyway? Perhaps if these could easily be converted to mp3 files, it might be useful, but for now, no iTunes for me!

  23. Who's going to cry? on Trained Rats for Mine Detection · · Score: 1

    The rat is, as it streaks toward heaven in a billion tiny pieces.

  24. Re:The real truth on Rambus Files Antitrust Suit Against Memory Makers · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Spell what?
    Alright?

  25. When I die? on What Happens To Your Data When You Die? · · Score: 1

    I'm going to have someone print out ALL of my data on greenbar paper. Then it'll be shredded and used as confetti at my funeral, and perhaps as extra padding for my pine box.
