  1. Changing the wrong thing on U.S. Scientists Call for a Time Change · · Score: 5, Funny
    That we need to add a second every 18 months is obvious evidence that our time system is just too complex to have simply happened, and is therefore indicative of an intelligence in time design.

    This post brought to you from the Kansas Board of Edumacation.

  2. Burn Him! on Former Apple Exec Speaks Against DRM · · Score: 3, Funny
    he admits to using third-party tools to remove the DRM from iTunes tracks.

    Where art thou RIAA? He voluntary admits it and all! Sue! Sue! Sue! I hear there's an attorney named THompsons whose case just went away. Maybe he can help you out...

  3. Obligatory Simpsons... on Star Wars Trilogy MIT Musical · · Score: 3, Funny
    [Sung to the tune of "Luck be a Lady Tonight" from Guys and Dolls]

    Luke be a Jedi, to-night!

  4. Re:Will my Jedi on Ask John Smedley About Star Wars Galaxies · · Score: 3, Interesting

    What's interesting is that it was down graded by editorial modding. Within a minute or two of being posted it as at -1. Or maybe its just habit to mod the first several posts down;-)

  5. Will my Jedi on Ask John Smedley About Star Wars Galaxies · · Score: 5, Funny

    Be able to use the Force to remove your Parent Companies rootkit, or will the Darkside of the Force remain to strong to overcome?

  6. Re:I'm kind of shocked.. on Slashback: OpenDocument, Intelligent Design, More DRM · · Score: 4, Funny

    Apparantly they felt that only authorized government agencies or the MIAA should be allowed to poison the torrents...

  7. Re:What? on No More Lunar Land for Sale · · Score: 3, Funny

    Personally, I moon over puns with that much bite.

  8. Re:Misleading title on Will Strip For Games · · Score: 5, Funny

    I felt the same way after a friendd took me to a Bare Naked Ladies concert. Three lies in one name.

  9. Re:Talk to those that wrote it down? on Vatican Rejects Intelligent Design? · · Score: 2, Informative

    I believe what he is alluding to, though he worded it poorly, is that Orthodox Rabbis hand copy Genesis and the other parts of the Pentuarch on scrolls as a means of preserving them. I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that they do this and that it would explain what he was getting at.

  10. Re:Meh. on 5 Years of Habitation on the ISS · · Score: 0, Offtopic
    And anyway, the goal of a space station is not to make some jingoistic room temperature IQs proud

    How'd you know I measure room temperature in Kelvins?

  11. Re:Yup... definitely works on Blizzard's Warden Thwarted by Sony's DRM Rootkit · · Score: 1

    AC-47's are even more deadly. Think Puff the Magic Dragon when he's pissed;-)

  12. Re:Meh. on 5 Years of Habitation on the ISS · · Score: 2, Funny

    I like to think of it as billions of dollars of extravagent mediocrity.

  13. Meh. on 5 Years of Habitation on the ISS · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Ask yourself this, when you think of the ISS are you filled with pride, satisfaction, or a general, meh. Yep, it is the most expensive "meh" in history.

  14. Re:Yup... definitely works on Blizzard's Warden Thwarted by Sony's DRM Rootkit · · Score: 4, Funny
    Remember kids, AK-47s don't kill White Wizards, Unicorns do.

    Never thought I'd get a chance to say that again!

  15. Re:GameCube on Learning Game Consoles for Young Children? · · Score: 1
    I play GameCube side by side with my four year old.

    I'm wondering which games you play with the tyke. I play SSBM with my stepsons, but they are 17 & 12;-) After several months of practicing I can even beat them- every now and again...

  16. Re:I know where the MPAA got that figure on Slashback: DRM, MPAA, ADSL · · Score: 4, Funny

    In a related story, Jack Thompson has filed suit against the MPAA for infringing on his "methods and means" patent.

  17. Serves 'em right! on Telecommuters May Owe Extra State Taxes · · Score: 3, Funny
    And no, I'm not bitter that they get to stay home while stand out in the cold, blustery rain. That has absolutely nothing, NOTHING, to do with it. OK, so it actually has everything to do with it, dagnabbit.

    As it becomes more commonplace, congress will figure it out. They always do, right?

  18. Re:Obvious Tag on Massachusetts' CIO Defends Move to OpenDocument · · Score: 1

    Huh... I always thought 2 dumbasses plus 2 dumbasses = 1 bar fight. Is there no end to what you can learn with open standards?

  19. Obvious Tag on Massachusetts' CIO Defends Move to OpenDocument · · Score: 4, Funny
    From TFS: Linda Hamel, the general counsel for the Massachusetts Information Technology Department (ITD), suggested that groups that oppose the OpenDocument file format standard might be influenced by Microsoft.

    Later on in the press conference she goes on to assert that rain is wet and and that 2 plus 2 does indeed add up to 4. She did not, however, make any comments concerning what you get 4 of.

  20. Re:The logo looks like... on FreeBSD Logo Contest Winner Announced · · Score: 1

    Netcraft just confirmed it's the latter.

  21. Like unto a virus on Sony DRM Installs a Rootkit? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Man, Sony'll do anything to make sure your system has their Cell in it.

  22. Pretty Sure on Blizzcon Writeup · · Score: 3, Funny

    It's the first Blizzard that has ever visited Anaheim. Though my Grandpa once told me that it snowed there once (I think he said in the 50's).

  23. Re: Looking Back On Looking Forward on Looking Back On Looking Forward · · Score: 1

    That's because time is an illusion. Lunchtime doubly so.

  24. Re:In Other Breaking News... on Microsoft Loses Two Key Executives · · Score: 3, Funny

    Be careful! He's got a chair and he knows how to use it!
