  1. Believers are idiots. on Enterprise-class Car Audio · · Score: 1
    This is just a funny joke. Anyone who took this seriously is an idiot.

  2. Wrong. on Hosting Service Closes 3000 Blogs Without Notice · · Score: 5, Funny
    It's as though a couple of thousand babbling idiots were suddenly silenced.

    No no, Slashdot is still up. :P

  3. SO many reasons, all listed in one place. on What Keeps You Off of Windows? · · Score: 0, Flamebait
    Here is why I don't use windows:

  4. AMAZING! IT IS ALSO A RANGE EXTENDER! on Apple Rolls Out AirPort Express, AirTunes · · Score: 2, Informative
    From the Apple site:

    You can use AirPort Express as a wireless bridge to extend the range of your primary base station.

    I already want and need two. Sold. Amazing.

  5. GREAT IDEA! on Hotmail Loses Customer Files · · Score: 1
    Why not forward all email to a second account with a different provider for backup?

    That is why I backup by Hotmail e-mail to my MSN account. Even my MSN connection which I'm on right now is as rock solid as my MSN e-mAI@*FDHJ#0+0+[NO CARRIER]

    ...ignores your wife...

    If I were a porn buddy, I think I would quickly break my promise, forget the porn, and give all of my attention to the lonely wife. :)

  8. Huh? I think the use of the work "perfect" is... on A Former Microsoftie Forecasts Microsoft Doom · · Score: 1
    ...wrong!

    perfectly stable for weeks on end

    That's like saying "the operation was a perfect success, the patient lived for a whole week afterward".

    My Powerbook goes months at a time. I only need to reboot when an update requires it (rarely) to a server I am running. Otherwise most updates can wait or require no reboot.

    I'll bet $100 that even a clean install of XP with updates can not live on a laptop for a month, with a dozen or so lid-closings and openings a day (in and out of hibernation, that is). Never. Mac laptops do it all the time. There is a HUGE difference in stability.

    That said, XP is a good OS for it's own reasons (build your own box, XP with Moz ok for Mom, some apps Windoze only) but people must be on Crack Rock(TM) if they think Windoze is nearly as stable as Mac OS, or Solaris, or most Linux kernels.

  9. Fuck it all. Just might as well make it simple. on How The Government Spies On Your Internet Use · · Score: 1
    I leave VNC server open on port 666 and emailed the FBI with the IP, Port, and password, so they can have a peak whenever they want. At least I KNOW when they are looking because the little icon turns from white to black whenever the spooks are peekin' on my screen.

    Unfortunately, I could care less about politics, so all some agent in an underground bunker is looking at is a lot of pr0n and Slashdot with some Fark thrown in. Who knows, maybe my VNC connection ends with a monitor in their lunch room so they can have a read while munching whatever it is that spooks eat.

  11. TOO FUCKING MUCH. on Google Experiments With Local Filesystem Search · · Score: 1

    Google will soon own, for many millions of noobs:

    - A life worth of the noobs e-mail.
    - A record of what the noob searches for (includes a persons likes, wants, needs, jobs, etc).
    - Access to every file on their computer.
    - All of the above will be cross-referenced (you are a fucking idiot if you think it will not. JetBlue will never give data to the Gov for TIA tests, either, eh? EH?)

    This is waaaay too much info for a single company to have on a person. VERY scary. VERY.

  12. Sygate!!! on The Windows Security Nightmare · · Score: 1
    Sygate personal firewall is awesome. And it has an option (which I have selected) to disable all internet connections until it has fully loaded after boot-up.

  13. You're missing the point. on Webby Award 2004 Winners Announced · · Score: 1
    If I create a Flash animation

    PLEASE! STOP RIGHT THERE! THAT'S THE POINT!

    There is no need for animations on the web. MAYBE for scientific research, or medical use, but most of that could be done with trusty animated gifs or for real research a video clip.

    Flash is used by 99.99999% of web sites because it CAN and because it look cool, not because it SHOULD. ANyone with a modicum of UI know-how and study knows how much of a shitty job most websites do with the basics, simple navigation with tabs and buttons. Give someone who is bad at using buttons to design a UI some Flash and all goes to hell. Oh, and not everyone uses Lynx any more, but that doesn't mean we are all on the web using IE 6.069 on a 3.2ghz Dell. My trusty Treo 600 can handle all the nice sites, including the normal versions of Slashdot and TheRegister. That's what standard complient code like HTML, XML, CSS will do.

    An analogy to flash would be, well, really large anal-plugs are good at stretching an ass. doesn't mean I should put one up my ass every time I browse the web. See, that's what Flash animations are like.

  14. Re:I know some of these people ... on Royal Bank of Canada Cashes Out of SCO; SCO Begins Layoffs · · Score: 1
    :) I didn't think too many people know about that law. I can't stop laughing :)

    Anyway, I seriously do think that the employees at SCO were part of the problem, so boo-hoo. I feel bad for kids that need feeding, couples that are strained, houses that need fixing, etc, but it's a big planet and shit happens and I would rather see SCO sink at the cost of a few people than have their jobs kept but SCO prosper.

    So, again, and with no mention of Mr. H, boo-fuckin-hoo.

    Still, some good friends of mine are now without work, without prescription benefits, and in this jobless recovery, without much hope. I feel very badly for them.

    And in other news, many SS officers lost their jobs at the end of World War II. Boo fuckin-hoo.

    Not having to spend time reviewing distros is why I spend money on Apple. Plug in, set auto-update to every 24 hours, and just use it.

    I just don't think that students should take advantage of the *currently* open nature of the network just because they can.

    First, know that the "OK" sign in many countries is considered vulgar, and in a lot of Europe is a way to signify a pussy, vagina, female genitalia, in a vulgar regerence.

    Second, know that a fish, in the united states, is a non-direct however clear reference to the same. Pussy. Vagina. The odor of both is what has made the two a match in American vernacular.

    Now, look at the photo again, and you will see a hard-core, sex crazed bird with two big references to pussy. I am laughing so hard right now I can't breathe. Need... help... and a 15 year old girl created this?!?!? Arrg.... short of breath.... help... too... funny...
