  1. Re:IED? on Silly String Goes to War Against IEDs · · Score: 1

    Internet Explorer Dysfunction

  2. Movie reference? on Missing Lab Mice Infected With Plague · · Score: 1

    Can anyone spot the movie reference?
    (Hint: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0084509/)

  3. Strange on SpaceX Announces Bigger Rocket · · Score: -1, Redundant

    I got an email saying something about a bigger rocket this morning, it seems to be catching on.

  4. Low energy mouse. on Logitech Unveils Smart Mouse · · Score: 5, Insightful

    What we need now is energy-saving tech in mice. It feels like i am changing batteries constantly in my Logitech MediaPlay. Does anyone else feel the same?

  5. Re:Nintendo. on Videogames: In the Beginning · · Score: 1

    I see the Atari as vintage gaming too, but i don't see it as a SYMBOL of vintage gaming. See the difference?

  6. Re:Nintendo. on Videogames: In the Beginning · · Score: 1

    Cheers to that!

  7. Nintendo. on Videogames: In the Beginning · · Score: 1

    Ok, i assume that the offending controller on the t-shirt in question is the NES 8-bit controller. Even though there absolutely were gaming-systems before that time, the NES 8-bit is still seen amongst many people as a symbol of vintage gaming. Am i right?
    I mean, how uncool would it be to have the phone-dial of the coleco vision on a t-shirt that said "know your roots"? People would be asking if you were referring to amateur radio, ATMs or perhaps early touch-tone phones..

  8. Re:Wrong. on BitTorrent: Sysadmins to face the music · · Score: 1

    Oh, i probably should RTFA.. :)

  9. Re:More like a free noticeboard than accepting mon on BitTorrent: Sysadmins to face the music · · Score: 1

    Thanks, exactly what i was trying to say, only worded better.. :)

  10. Wrong. on BitTorrent: Sysadmins to face the music · · Score: 5, Informative

    "(which contained pirated music etc)"
    .. No they didn't.

    Only .torrent files are saved at the server. No illegal material needs to be sent out from, or hosted at a bittorrent server.
    That's the beauty of Bittorrent you see..

  11. Re:Neal Stephenson on Mauritius Aims To Be First Wireless Nation · · Score: 1

    I think what triggered the connection was the characters Avi and Waterhouse (?) doing business building networks between Asian islands.

  12. Neal Stephenson on Mauritius Aims To Be First Wireless Nation · · Score: 1

    Did anyone except me think of Cryptonomicon by Neal Stephenson when they heard about this?

  13. Hmm on Bang But No Splash · · Score: 4, Funny

    " Your Subscription does not grant access to this item: Full Text : Cho,Sucking Away the Splatter, ScienceNOW 2005: 4"

    Sounds like a whole different kind of webpage..

  14. Re:Wake up, everyone on U.S. Kids Don't Understand First Amendment · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Because, you should be allowed to show maimed, bleeding iraqis and american soldiers on television, but not burn certain pieces of cloth.
    [/irony]

    And if i may quote the words of the late Bill Hicks:

    "Hey buddy, my dad died for that flag"
    "Really?...I bought mine...They sell 'em in K-Mart and ****..."
    "yeah..He died in Korea for that flag"
    "Wow, what a coincidence. Mine was made in Korea..the world is THAT big man..."
    No-one, and I repeat NO-ONE has ever died for a flag. A flag is a piece of cloth, they might have died for freedom, which, by the way, is the freedom to....Burn the.. ****ing flag you see??..Burning the flag doesn't make freedom go away, it's kinda like Free-dom ok?..ok.
    And they've had 4 cases in this country's 200 year history, so it's not that big an issue. One of the hotter smokescreens they've put down the pipe. I don't wanna burn a flag, but what business is it of mine if you do?
    Is it my business if someone wants to..Is it?...NO
    Is it my business what other people read or watch on TV? NO IT'S NOT...THANK YOU
    You see, when we talk these things through, it becomes a little clearer doesn't it? That's called logic and it'll help us all evolve and get on the ****ing spaceships and get outta here.

  15. Re: Is that really easier? on Tiny Aircraft Feeds Itself With Dead Flies · · Score: 1

    Can you prove that?

  16. Gibson on Data Miners Moving to Offshore Data Havens · · Score: 1

    Gibson anyone?

  17. Headline on Robots Do The Darndest Things · · Score: 1

    Best headline ever. =)
    I can seriously see how this would be important for the robot scientists, as it helps develop balancing and so forth.

  18. Re:Misleading on Mushroom Cloud Reported Over North Korea · · Score: 1

    The real question is: Do they want to tell you if it was a nuke or not?

  19. But... on China Goes Nuclear · · Score: 1

    Didn't China build a huge dam recently? What happened with that?

  20. Re:Ahhhhh....One Second Please on HP Releases Linux-Based Notebook · · Score: 1

    Actually, the HP windows recovery program (the one you get when you press f10 during boot) defaults to a kind of repair that only reinstalls the software that was delivered with the machine, that is: not your personal files. However, i have only given telephone support on this and i cannot verify how well it works. I can imagine that it could screw up an install however.

  21. Re:He's Dead, Jim. on Living Without a Pulse · · Score: 1

    Depending on the body fat on a person, the pulse isn't always easily detected.

    My head just exploded when about fifty different "Fat Yankee"-jokes popped up at the same time.

  22. Re:Probably.. on Slate On Worms That Plug Security Holes · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Also, virus writers, black or white hatted, should never do the work that every experienced sysadmin should do.
    Kind of like having robbers in charge of security in a bank.

  23. Re:Understand the Source Perspective on Open Source a National Security Threat · · Score: 1

    True, true.

  24. Re:Understand the Source Perspective on Open Source a National Security Threat · · Score: 1

    Well, it pretty much covered it, except the fact that geeks will now be thoroughly screened at airports.

  25. Re:Ah hah on Latest MyDoom Variant Gives Google Problems · · Score: 1

    Surprisingly, Google is 5th in the list when you search for "Search engine" on google.com. After Altavista and Lycos even! :)
