  1. Re:even though they don't exist yet... on G5 PowerBook "Challenge" · · Score: 1

    >can't you just imagine a beowulf cluster of G5 Powerbooks?

    >err, maybe that should be "imagine a cluster of imaginary >G5 Powerbooks".

    >or maybe, "imagine how much heat your lap would be >subjected to with a cluster of ..."

    i guess that would keep the grits hot, anyway

  2. save paper? ha on Environmental Costs of Computer Use? · · Score: 1

    the only paper computers save is carbon paper.

  3. Re:Old quote on Secret Empire · · Score: 1

    There's an old quote that goes something like this:

    "Roosevelt proved a man could be President for life, Truman proved that any man can become President, Eisenhower proved we don't really need a President."

    i guess the current adminstration proves that any idiot can become president.

    i guess the current adminstration proves that it isn't necessary to win the election to become president

    etc

  4. 'occupant' changed his name to 'alan ralsky' on DOS Attack Via US Postal Service · · Score: 2, Funny

    'occupant' changed his name to 'alan ralsky' it was in the news today. really.
    if you get mail for 'occupant', make sure you fill out a forwarding slip, available from your local post office.
    really, this is true. occupant was worried he would miss a catalog. he has lived at so many different places, you know.
    remember, alan ralsky wants every catalog he could theoretically receive in a perfect world. let's make the world a little more perfect!

  6. Re:So if you're running Windows... on Dual-headed Laptops · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    how do you log in AFTER your computer freezes? oh, i'm thinking of NT, sorry. (as in Windoesn't) but you still get to press 'start' to shut down!

  7. Thanks A Lot! on Web Server Packed into RJ45 Connector · · Score: 1

    i just read this reply and i nearly choked on my chicken. that doesn't sound right - not 'nearly choked my chicken' but almost swallowed. my chicken, that is. as in DINNER. like nearly choked on my chicken. not like a girlfriend would, but different, like you might gag on pork. i laughed with a mouthful of food, that's what i'm saying. just forget it.

  8. how many LOCs? on 350 Megapixel Camera · · Score: 2, Funny

  9. cheap if redundant solution on The Ultimate Computer Desk? · · Score: 1

    years ago i needed a desk for my first computer and swiped the old kitchen table from my parents attic. it is big, heavy, deep and ugly, but i have it and my 21"crt up against the wall, and there is a full magazine-height of room between my belly and keyboard. conference tables are a good solution i saw someone mention, but it would be nice to screw and/or glue a 2 x 4 tallways underneath to add some stiffness. otherwise they inevetably sag in a year or two. but they are cheap. the more specialized 'computer' desks i've seen pigeonhole (literally!) you into having a 15" monitor, pc minitower, and big ugly beige keyboard. nothing else quite fits.

  10. $400 to flush? on Apple Updates iMacs and eMacs · · Score: 2, Funny

    if i had $400 to flush, i'd buy a pc. then i'd buy a mac once i learned my lesson
