  1. Re:Theory or God?? on Researchers Say Human Brain is Still Evolving · · Score: 1
    God? Time Cube is the power above God! God is a falsehood of idiots professing singularity!

    Supreme Power is in Nature's Harmonic Simultaneous Perpetual 4X4 =16 Corner Rotating Principle 4-Day Time Cube - Ineffable Truth.

  2. Re:You build it, one is born every minute to buy i on New 1 Kilowatt PSU - Too Much Power? · · Score: 1

    This thing will probably trip a standard 15 amp breaker.

  3. Re:copyright issues on Google Print Holds The Presses · · Score: 1

    Great Google-ey Moogle-ey!

  4. Where is the Netcraft confirms troll on Why FreeBSD · · Score: 1

    This many comments into a BSD thread, and no one has inserted the "Netcraft confirms BSD is dying" troll? Is it now confirmed that BSD is actually growing, and that troll is nonsense?

  5. Re:Cashing in on ... on Gates Calls for Increase in Tech Labor Supply · · Score: 2, Insightful
    $90,000 per year? That seems really high. Are your figures current?

    You are right that he onlywants to save money, though. He can get guest workers on visas to work for minimum wage and no benefits, the robber baron! There is no shortage of American high-tech workers. We just want to be paid a fair share for what we create, not be exploited like slaves.

  6. Re:PSP on First Week PSP Sales Results · · Score: 1

    It's a neat little gizmo, but $250 with no games thrown in? That's just too high. Add a game, and you'll throw down nearly $300. I will consider it when the price is more reasonable.

  7. Re:Fans on More On Save Enterprise Donations · · Score: 2, Funny

    I have an idea for a new Star Trek Series. It's a reality show where fans compete in outrageous and embarrassing games to become cast members in an upcoming Star Trek series. At the end, producers will admit to them that there is no upcoming series, and they just wanted to see how stupid they could get trekkies to act.

  8. Re:Pretty Good... on Intelligent MIDI Sequencing with Hamster Control · · Score: 1

    What that article didn't say is that they have recorded a CD, become celebrities, and even have a web site!

  9. Re:Oh, Boy! More Old Spacer Shows! on UPN Officially Cancels 'Star Trek: Enterprise' · · Score: 1

    I have an idea. How about a Buckaroo Banzai TV series!

  10. Re:These people.... on Escape from the Universe · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Actually, many non-western scholars suspect that no such person ever actually lived. He may be only a fictional character. Jesus is a matter of faith, not a matter of fact. Let's not spend any more time debating what we can't prove or disprove. Come to think of it, the question of wheter there are other universes is one of those. Maybe someone should Godwin this thread, so it will end.

  11. Re:Sounds like a nut. on New Calendar Proposal · · Score: 1

    Two Words: Time Cube.

  12. Re:FedEx? on Adieu to Ken Jennings · · Score: 1

    Now really! Only one type of business is so seasonal that 7000 of its employees work only a third of the year: tax preparation. H&R Block was the only reasonable answer. I think he took a dive.

  13. Re:Self Defeating on Detecting Faked Photographs Gets Easier · · Score: 2, Funny

    I don't know what the big deal is. Old style film photos can be fiddled with, but digital photographs cannot be faked, and digital photography is taking over.

  14. Re:I can't decide on Monty Python's Spamalot Musical Gets Cast · · Score: 1

    I'd like to see the live on stage version of The Life of Brian. I wonder who would play Biggus Dikkus?

  15. Re:5 bucks says the shift key circumvents this.... on Beastie Boys' New Album Silently Installs DRM Code · · Score: 5, Insightful
    To find out if this is true, borrow the disc from some sucker who actually bought it, and can't use it. By all means do not buy it yourself.

    In the 1980s. The software industry tried all this copy control nonsense with Commodore 64 software. Many companies did not survive the backlash. The record labels will not learn until everyone stops buying. Any business that alienates their customers deserves to fail. Vote with your pocket books. Stop feeding the hand that bites you.

  16. Re:Bummer. on High-Altitude 'Security Blimps' Coming Soon · · Score: 5, Funny

    If those lighted messages on these security blimps were done with light-emitting diodes, could you call one a Led Zeppelin?

  17. Re:Well... on 'Einstein Probe' Delayed · · Score: 1

    If frame dragging isn't observed, then it would have happened if we weren't watching. The Heisenberg Principle. It's just like that tree falling in the forest.

  18. Re:Not far from truth on The Average PC is Infested with Spyware · · Score: 2, Interesting

    If you mean Spybot Search and Destroy, Pest Patrol is probably finding the quarantine files it creates after cleaning a system. That's a false alarm. Many spyware removers find each other's quarantines. I am curious, if Pest Patrol really did find Spybot Search and Destroy, what kind of pest did it call it? If you have DeCSS, or anything that could remotely be considered a hackers' tool, Pest Patrol will warn you that you may face liability if caught with it.

  19. Re:Excuse me while I smash my head into the wall. on PIRATE Act Introduced in Congress · · Score: 2, Insightful
    I would like to propose something. Let's not refer to the recording industry as the music industry. There is a lot more to music than recordings sold at the mall.

    The RIAA and the labels would have us believe that music did not exist before Edison invented the phonograph, but it existed for millenia if not millions of years before then. Music will survive without the recoding industry, or should I say racket, when it goes away like the horse-and buggy industry.

    I hope that Hatch and Leahy both get voted out, and that people all over the world don't buy CDs.

  20. Re:I've Seen the future, and I've left it behind on A Law Show Set 25 Years from Now · · Score: 1

    I predict that the future will be a lot like Mad Max movies. It will begin several years after we hit peak oil. Maybe we already have hit it with gas at $2.00 per gallon. Read more.

  21. Re:Not ANOTHER law show? on A Law Show Set 25 Years from Now · · Score: 1

    It is a mid-season replacement show. It was never intended to be back in the fall. I would wager that the writer of the pilot meant it as a joke, but the dullards at CBS didn't get it, and produced the turkey. You just can't joke with humorless people, or idiots in a boardroom.

  22. Re: Moron about Mormons on MATRIX - A Dossier for Every Person in Utah · · Score: 3, Funny

    He did a little too much LDS at Berkeley in the 60's.

  23. Re:the calculator watch.. on Forgotten Electronics of the 70s and 80s · · Score: 1

    That's pronounced Horse Doovers. They are what is left after they turn a colt into a gelding. Now that you know what they are, I'll bet you'll never eat them again!

  24. Re:My dad? on Forgotten Electronics of the 70s and 80s · · Score: 1

    What really killed quadraphonic was that it had competing, and incompatible formats. A format war also doomed AM stereo. Does anyone else remember DAT vs DCC? Same deal. Considering that format wars have been a death-blow in the past, I am surprised DVD-R and DVD+R have become viable formats.

  25. Re:In short on UK Becomes Sixth Country to Implement EUCD · · Score: 1

    All around the world, punish the recording companies who lobby for these laws by boycotting them, and punish the politicians by voting them out of office.
