  1. Re:This is irrelevant, but I gotta say... on Neal Stephenson on Star Wars in the NYT · · Score: 1

    In short, yes. Its just you.

  2. Sites? on Spyware Floods in Through BitTorrent · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Which "sites" does this affect? The article and summary says that its flooding in through "BitTorrent." BT is just a protocol, there are have got to be sites hosting trackers that are providing these malicious files. My question is, who are they?

  3. So its true! on Pure JavaScript Unix-Like Web Based OS · · Score: 4, Funny
  4. Graffiti on Graffiti Bridges Worlds for Cell User · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Graffiti in general. I don't understand it. Whats the appeal of wrecking the apperance of otherwise beautiful communities? Just to say you were there? Do you dipshits realize how UGLY spraypaint and pseudo-old-english looks sprawled across an overpass or on the side of the building? Its bullshit and it needs to stop.

  5. DrDelivery.com on Online Takeout Delivery is Back · · Score: 2, Informative

    In my area (Arlington, VA), we have DrDelivery.com. You can get all sorts of food and other errands run for you. Its fairly popular.

  6. In other news... on Fedora Core 4 Available · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Duke sucks. /Oops, wrong site.

  7. Product Placement? on Firefox Deer Park Alpha Available · · Score: 1

    So did Deer Park water pay them for the naming rights to this release or what? Or is it just a coincidence? That could actually be pretty funny, if there was product placement in open source release names.

  8. Information Technology on Little Interest In Next-Gen Internet · · Score: 4, Funny

    Thanks for clarifying what IT meant. I've been lost on this site for YEARS and now I finally know what that acronym means. Life is good.

  9. What do we think about it? on The World of Blogebrities · · Score: 4, Insightful

    We dont. Why are people so fascinated with celebrities? Are your own lives really THAT boring?

    OMG! BTW Did you hear that Nick and Jessica filed for divorce?

  10. Planned from the beginning? on AJAX Buzzword Reinvigorates Javascript · · Score: 1

    Then where have you been for the last 10 years? Seriously, those comments reek of those guys coming out of the shadows to hop onto the glory boat.

  11. Futurologist? on Download Your Brain · · Score: 1

    Are you serious? No, really, since when can one make up a title for themselves in a made up profession and start posting made up studies to a reputable news site?

  12. Currently.. on Library to Require Fingerprint to Use PCs · · Score: 1

    Currently patrons use their library cards and personal identification numbers to access the computers.

    Whats wrong with this system? Its sounds like they are replacing one two-factor authentication system with another. What will biometrics provide that the current system does not?

  13. In other news... on Software Piracy Will Get Worse · · Score: -1, Redundant

    So will movie piracy. Star Wars III is already out. The linked article makes some good points.

  14. (Parentheses) on LPIC 1 Exam Cram 2 · · Score: 3, Funny

    Is it (really) necessary to (nearly) parenthesize the (almost) entire summary? It (really) reads like that (ta ta today Junior!) kid from (the movie) Billy Madison.

  15. OT: Article formatting on Invading Privacy for School Credit · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Sorry this is off topic but is anyone else enamored with the way IHT formats their articles?

  16. Simpsons on ISS Oxygen Generator Fails for Good · · Score: 1

    Hey Homer, I'm worried about the air supply. After this case, and the other case, there is only one case left!

  17. /. abbreviation on Subjecting Yourself to Experimental Meds · · Score: 4, Insightful

    ...and the FDA long ago the tacitly approved this. /. debated...

    Can we please refrain from starting sentences with the /. abbreviation?

  18. Shut up and hack on OpenBSD Hackathon Approaching · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Is there any sort of communication or direction of what features people are supposed to be hacking (working) on? Or is it everyone just shows up and develops what they feel like. As a software developer, the latter scares me a bit.

    I guess you can't argue with results though.

  19. Re:Let's use this to our advantage on Hacking the Web with Greasemonkey · · Score: 1

    You mean Roland Piquepaille?

  20. Nucular on Nuclear Battery That Runs 10 Years · · Score: 1, Funny

  22. Re:Stoner's Pot World on Wine Now Has Big-Time Lawyers On Its Side · · Score: 1

    Stoners Pot Palace

    Man, that is flagrant false advertising!!

  23. IBM on Wine Now Has Big-Time Lawyers On Its Side · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Is that really the case that IBM and "other big companies" did not get involved with Wine because they feared litigation? Can anyone provide a source on this please?

  24. Re:Maintainability of Perl code? on Perl Medic · · Score: 1

    Theres More Than One Way To Do It. Very common in the perl community. Its part of the perl ABCs

  25. Blackberry Killer on Gates Releases Details on New Mobile OS · · Score: 4, Insightful

    OK, I think its safe to disregard this product and the person calling it that. Whenever something is described as an XKiller, it never kills product X and such claims are usually FUD or just hype.
