  1. Re:Yet another reason for better prog languages on Xbox Hypervisor Security Protection Hacked · · Score: 1

    What language do you propose as an alternative for implementing hypervisors?

  2. Re:Hustin, we have a problem on Astronaut to Attempt Spacewalk Record · · Score: 1

    We all know that [t]hey wear diapers.

    How do they dispose of the diapers afterwards? Do they send them out the airlock?

  3. Re:I wish that he had written this... on Michael Crichton on Why Gene Patents Are Bad · · Score: 1

    I wish he had written this instead of Next. That book is unreadable.

  4. Re:cool. on Sony Set to Market Blu-ray as Winner of Format War · · Score: 4, Funny

    Are they also going to market their laptops as the winner of the battery war?

    They blow the competition away!

  5. Other x86 operating systems? on IBM Launching an Open Desktop Solution · · Score: 1

    Does it only support windows, linux, and os x, or is there the option of running code from other operating systems? Specifically, I'd like to see solaris support, because your machine running code meant for all those different OSs is really only useful if I can telnet into it.

  6. Re:I recently switched on Windows Expert Jumps Ship · · Score: 1

    XCode is about ten years behind Microsoft Visual Studio.

    Does that mean it's 20 years behind vi and the gnu build tools?

  7. Re:For all our sake... on Ocean Planets on the Brink of Detection · · Score: 1

    we'll have hundreds of water world remakes and the level of pain that would bring is too much to bare.

    Well, at least it will be less painful for the investors, who will be able to cut costs on the production by sending the cast and crew to another planet to film.

  8. Re:personal reasons ? on Zune Business Dev Executive Moves On · · Score: 5, Funny

    He just felt it was time to squirt over to another company.

  9. Re:Focusing on end users on Vista Indicates A Shift in Microsoft's Priorities · · Score: 1

    If Microsoft finally starts giving developers priority over end users, Windows might actually become something useful someday.

    Quoth the Ballmer, "Developers, Developers, Developers, Developers."

  10. Wow. on 10 Years of Pushing For Linux — and Giving Up · · Score: 0

    That guy is funny looking.

  11. Re:Possibly. on The Privacy Candidate · · Score: 1

    However, show me ANY politician that has kept their campaign promises. Ever.

    Bush promised not to pull the troops out of Iraq.

  12. Re:No thanks on The Privacy Candidate · · Score: 1

    I've already seen her stance on video games, that's all I needed to know.

    Please point me to the candidate who says we don't need to protect children from violent video games.

  13. Re:Change from the Top Down on Fight DRM While There's Still Time · · Score: 1

    The Bolsheviki tried the top-down approach, actually; it involved weeding the gene-pool of potential racists.

    Hitler also tried the top down approach. It involved weeding out the minorities.

  14. Re:I'm still waiting on Scientist Develops Caffeinated Baked Goods · · Score: 4, Funny

    Well, once they perfect the caffeinated bacon, it'll only be a matter of time until we'll have baconated grapefruit.

  15. Re:Free is still free for me on "Free Wi-Fi" Scam In the Wild · · Score: 1

    err, debugged:

    if ($userid = 4 digits)
    {
    FuckWith($user) = false;
    }

    Not really, you've just introduced another bug in assigning 4 digits to every user id. and it's still assigning false to a function call, which makes no sense.

  16. Re:Blackboard patent? on US Patent Office To Re-Examine Blackboard Patent · · Score: 1

    Hey, has someone patented the blackboard?

    Don't be silly, a blackboard has many years of prior art. They patented the instructional use of blackboards as a teaching device. It's a business method, so the patent is totally legit.

  17. Re:What's In a Name? on The Death of Domain Parking? · · Score: 1

    You're right. We should all stop trying to remember domain names and just search for the sites we're looking for.

  18. Re:Live bacteria on Something in Your Food is Moving · · Score: 1
    What, like normal yogurt and cheese?

    As well as bottle-conditioned beers which contain living yeast and sometimes bacteria.

  19. Re:It may prove useful. on Building a Programmer's Rosetta Stone · · Score: 1
    But as a seasoned programmer I also know that some tasks can't be ported.
    That's when you invoke Greenspun's Tenth Rule
  20. Re:Pointless, don't bother! on Building a Programmer's Rosetta Stone · · Score: 2, Funny
    I looked at the file I/O task, and there were no versions for ... Java

    Well, that would be pushing the limits of the MySQL LARGETEXT field.

  21. Re:Killed?? on Woman Killed In Wii-Related Competition · · Score: 1
    pure water without electrolytes is a recipe for disaster

    Electrolytes: what people crave!

  22. Re:It's Time on Doomsday Clock To Advance · · Score: 1

    Sorry, but I have to disagree. Empirical evidence would suggest that Mutually Assured Destruction is a highly effective means of preventing nuclear war.

    If anything, everyone should have more nukes.

  23. Re:Welcome to the club on Pirate Bay to Purchase Sealand? · · Score: 1
    Seems like the axis of evil is getting a new member!

    Somehow I don't think they'll be making it into the WTO...

  24. Re:No such thing.. on Sony Shrugs Off Bad Press - Still A Strong Brand · · Score: 2, Funny

    I'd argue with you, but the sony battery in my dell laptop running sco unix seems to be smoking, so I guess I'll just nod my head in agreement and sign off.

  25. A strange idea for a movie on WarGames Sequel Now Filming · · Score: 1

    The only winning move is not to make it.
