  1. Re:But They Do Have Internet... Seriously on The Internet Black Hole That Is North Korea · · Score: 1

    Just a note on that. Their online store offers a DRM free version of "Hong Kil Dong" for only $2.50 US.

    What a bargain.

  2. Re:What happened? on IE7 Released and Available for Download · · Score: 1

    Wow! You have exactly the same homepage as me! What are the chances?

  3. Finally! on World's Smallest Robotic Hand · · Score: 4, Funny

    Finally something small enough to massage my... never mind.

  4. Just one? on Google Campus to Become Solar-powered · · Score: 1

    Just one Solar panel? What if it breaks? Will they need to replace the whole thing?

  5. Gnome version? on KOffice 1.6 Released · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I'm not trying to sound stupid here. But what are the chances of getting a gnome version of Koffice? I don't mean a complete rewrite start from scratch office suite tied into the Gnome desktop project. I mean a port of Koffice to a gnome environment.

    Is that even possible? It seems kind of dumb to port a linux application to linux.

    Perhaps I'm way off base here.

  6. Re:MySpace should check for more than this! on MySpace Predator Caught By Code · · Score: 1

    I run a CS Clan, we have many members that range from 12 years old right up until 40. Yes we all talk together, are all friends and *GASP* meet up every month for a Lan party. And I could say the same about my local Cricket club.

  7. Re:Why use standby? on The True Cost of Standby Power · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    TLDR

  8. Re:Intel Open Source Graphics Driver on Root Exploit For NVIDIA Closed-Source Linux Driver · · Score: 1

    Yes except that Intels plans for making their graphics cards perform faster is to name them with cooler and more Xtreme names. Nvidia and ATI actually inovate.

  9. Re:MySpace's fall on Friendster's Rise and Fall · · Score: 1

    Tamagotchi and Mood Shirts! There's two! ...

    What?

  10. Re:When the money dries up... on A Lot of Money for Playing Games · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Yes I'm sure someone handling their own expensive sponsership deals, complex contracts and his own business would have no marketable skills outside of playing quake.

  11. Re:Atleast they're telling us... on North Korea Says It Has Conducted Nuclear Test · · Score: 1

    Yeah... I heard Muroa has been secretly stashing away French nukes for years now!

  13. Re:Billions of *Jupiter sized* gas giants on Billions of Planets In Milky Way? · · Score: 1

    Okay here's what I don't get, and correct me if I'm wrong but how can you have 10% of infinity?

  14. Re:My AP World History teacher recommended it on The Daily Show as Substantive as Broadcast News · · Score: 1

    Isn't that kind of like saying that when Saddam tallied up his last election results he got 100% of the vote?

  15. Re:Not decimating on Globalization Decimating US I.T. Jobs · · Score: 1

    Actually decimating is only 10%. Decimate originally referred to the killing of every tenth person, a punishment used in the Roman army for mutinous legions. Soldiers would be grouped into 10's and then made to draw lots. The one with the short straw would then be killed by the nine others, typically with clubs.

  16. Re:OMG Ponies!!! on Going Pink For October · · Score: 1

    Yeah, pull your finger out of your arse!

  17. Re:Give me a printout! on Will the Next Election Be Hacked? · · Score: 1

    That would also be really handy to prove who I voted for to the guy who offered me $20 to vote for candidate X.

  18. Re:Not quite surprised here on A Quantitative Analysis of Online Dating · · Score: 3, Funny

    Wow... just wow.

    I give that one +1 Jaded as Fuck.

  19. Re:This isn't about competition. . it's about cont on Online Gambling Not Banned Yet · · Score: 1

    Reminds me of a quote I found quite funny.

    A Puritan is someone who is deathly afraid that someone, somewhere, is having fun.

  20. Re:Why Only U.S. & Russia? on The Man Who Literally Saved the World · · Score: 1, Funny

    Don't worry I just changed the article so that no countries have nuclear weapons anymore. What a relief, I wonder why someone didn't do that before.

    I guess it's just one of those things that just seems obvious in hindsite.

  21. It still doesn't fix the biggest problem on Hypoallergenic Cats · · Score: 0, Troll

    This still doesn't fix the biggest problem I have with cats. Cats kill native animals at night, drag home dead things and are perhaps the most disgusting of all domestic animals. Although perhaps most of those things are the fault of the owners, not the cats.

  22. What happened? on Proposal to Fund Debian Sparks Debate · · Score: 2, Insightful

    What has happened to Debian of late? I'm the first to admit that I don't follow the politics of the linux scene with anything more then a passing glance but the current Debian team appears to be disolving into a clusterfuck of massive egos clashing about trivial changes. Wost still it seems that they end up bitching and debating more then they actually spend doing something. The whole situation reminds me of the People's Front of Judea, fighting with the Judean Peoples Front. They just debate endlessly and end up doing nothing.

  23. Re:Thank God on The US Navy Says Goodbye to the Tomcat · · Score: 1, Troll

    I'm just happy because it means that Australia will be getting a whole new batch of secondhand, breaking down, last generation military equipment.

  24. Re:I bet some hydraulic techs are happy about this on The US Navy Says Goodbye to the Tomcat · · Score: 1

    My solution would be to have six actuator testers.

    Because when we tried to cut down the tallest tree in the forest with it and simply couldn't.
