  1. Carlin Quote on Scientists Say a Dirty Child Is a Healthy Child · · Score: 1

    I was tempered in raw sewage!

  2. IMDB on Time Picks Top 100 Films · · Score: 1

    About the only accurate top 100 movie list is on the IMDB's top 100 http://www.imdb.com/chart/top (Well, it is actually the top 250, but you get the point)

  3. Re:Returned to life.. on BeOS Ready for a Comeback as Zeta OS · · Score: 1

    Actually, I think ZomBe OS is hacker slang for Windows.

  4. Re:Age groups on Ubisoft to Publish Puzzle Pirates · · Score: 1

    I thought it was rated "Arrrrr" for booty.

  5. Re:I wonder on Adding Pizazz to Your RAM · · Score: 1

    I take it you have already installed one on yoru keyboard?

  6. Re:Smut on DURL, a Search Tool for del.icio.us · · Score: 2, Funny

    I don't know about you, but I don't bookmark my smut. My wife might find out what a pervert I am.

  7. Re:Elegance. on Microsoft Patents 'IsNot', Enlists WTO · · Score: 1

    So if 5 people give you a nickel you would have 5 X ^H^H 5+5+5+5+5=25, or 1 quarter.

  8. Re:I wouldn't mind on RFID Drivers' Licenses Debated · · Score: 0

    Driving is not a right. In order to drive you must obey certain laws/rules. Stopping at red lights and obeying the speed limits are a couple examples. If the law states that you must be finger printed or carry an RFID tag, then that that is what you have to do. If you run to many red lights, you lose your license. If you do not want an RFID tag or be finger printed do not get a license. There are plenty of modes of public transporation out there.

  9. Re:Never understood how that game worked on Hikarunix: The Go Distro · · Score: 2, Funny

    I prefer learning by playing the 8x8 version that comes with WinXP.

  10. Prices on Cisco Applies For Patents To Secured TCP · · Score: 1

    My suggestion is to limit the number of patents a company can hold and/or apply for in a year. This forces them to keep only the truly inovative patents and discard the trival patents.

  11. Re:I changed to IT on Changing Jobs for Job Satisfaction? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I agree. I would rather love my job making 20K a year than hate my job making 100K a year.

  12. Browser Suggestion on Top 10 Software Titles Every Home PC Needs? · · Score: 1

    I used Mozilla for my web browser at home it suits all of my browsing needs.

  13. Re:amen on Exposing Personal Information in the Whois Database · · Score: 2, Insightful

    And driving down the street you cut someone off and they now have your license plate number or they follow you home. You get in an argument over the price of coffee at the local grocery store. You write the store a check, which usually has your address on it. The clerk comes after you. Did you forget to tip the pizza delivery person?

    These are every day events that happen locally. The person you piss of on the internet my be your neighbor, but more than likely they are hundreds of miles away.

    Could the above scenerios happen? Yes, but I will not let fear of possible lunatics affect my day to day actions.

  14. Re:amen on Exposing Personal Information in the Whois Database · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    I've got kind of an odd view on privacy. If you don't want someone to know you did something, don't do it. If you don't want someone to know you smoke pot, don't smoke it.

    That being said, in registering a domain, you have two options. Register the domain and have your information available out there or if you do not want people to know you have registered a domain don't do it.

    It is not your right to have a domain name registered to you. It is a privilege. Privileges come at a cost, and in this case the cost is your personal information.

    Just my thoughts.

  15. ADA on Marriage May Tame Genius · · Score: 1

    I wonder if this will be covered the Americans with Disabilities Act? If so, aftr being maried for years, I can't weight!

  16. Re:Where's Leisure Suite Larry? on Fan-Made Space Quest Prequel Released · · Score: 1

    What's wrong with using the mouse? The Monkey Island series was great.

    I will agree with you that the 'mouse' versions of the Quest games are not nearly as enjoyable as the typing versions.

  17. Re:Computer interfaces on Tim Brown On Current Design Challenges · · Score: 3, Insightful

    A computer will never be truely user freindly until it under stands plain spoke words and gives us what we want, not what we asked for.

    Since most of us do ot really know what we want, a truely user freindly interface is a myth.

  18. Folding@home on Exploit Found in Seti@Home · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Does anyone know if this exploit effects folding@home clients? I do not know if they use the same engine or if the '@Home' name is the only thing they have in common.

  19. Re:Who uses one of those things? on Users Conned by Cable Con · · Score: 1

    By time you throw in driving time and gas to and from the video store, and any late fees for not returning the movie on time, $3-$7 does not seem to be a "flaming rip off" to me.

  20. Other Games on Commander Keen: 13 Years Later · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Too bad other game manufacturers won't follow suit and make their older titles available for (legit) download.

  21. Tank on Build Your Own Sherman Tank · · Score: 1

    I just hope his son doesn't break a rib trying to put the track back on if it were to slip off.

  22. Re:Dino Deaths on New NASA Maps Show A Bad Day On Earth · · Score: 1

    I acutally support Gary Larson's theory that smoking killed the dinosours.

  23. RE:Dropped my Star-Tac into the bathtub on Your Most Damage-Resistant Hardware? · · Score: 1

    My star-tac is pretty indestructable. I have dropped it of of a 120 foot grain bin and it worked fine once I popped the battery back in. I dropped it in a parking lot and a garbage truck ran over it, and it still works. Just the other night I dropped into a toilet, rinsed it off and it still works. I think it's about ready for retirement after the last one though.

  24. Re:I call BS on Mixing the Unmixable · · Score: 1

    "This has got to be a dupe."

    I have only seen this article posted once, maybe tomorrow it will be a dupe.

  25. Don't foget on DMCA Invoked Against Garage Door Openers · · Score: 2, Funny

    And don't forget about IBM and their Universal Bussiness Adapter.
