  2. Re:What? on Hitachi Readies Fuel Cell for PDAs · · Score: 1

    Uhh...I think you mean liquor store. Now if anyone accuses you of being alchoholic, you can just say that the endless bottles of empty vodka bottles in your apartment was pda fuel.

  3. Re:Goths and Geeks on We Are All Nerds Now · · Score: 1

    For a bit more insight, "Goth" people don't wear black because of their interests, but rather to lower their image so people don't demand as much from them socially.

  4. More Info on Virginia Arrests Man For Spamming · · Score: 5, Informative

    The man arrested, Jeremy Jaynes (aka Gaven Stubberfield, and Jeremy James), was listed as the worlds 8th worst spammer on http://www.spamhaus.org/index.lasso. Spamhaus is a site that tracks the activity of spammers around the world. It also lists USA,China,And South Korea as the worst spamming countries.

  5. Uhh.... on Microsoft Retires Windows 98 · · Score: 5, Funny

    Let's look on the bright side, Windows ME is still in circulation.

  6. The Apple brand on Finding Holiday Discounts on iPods? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Part of Apple's pricing strategy is that "it cost's more, so it must be good.", backed up with Apple's general image of creating superior products. I just wonder what will happen if Apple ever releases a $200 or $300 pc. Complete Mayham?!?

  7. Re:18.4 seconds to compile quake3 on "Budget" Chips go Head-to-Head · · Score: 1

    We're not talking about an operating system here. This is a computer game. Also, QuakeIII is a game engine, so a lot of the code is contained within the mods/levels and not the Game itself. The scores are from the 3rd compile, so some cacheing was going on.

  8. Oh NO!!! on Slashback: Matrix, Terminology, Topology · · Score: 1

    ...I've fallen into a plot hole and I can't get up!!
    -Matrix Trilogy

  9. Great on Magnetic Induction Technology Headset Reviewed · · Score: 4, Funny

    Now when i stand up from my computer I wont step on the chord, yank my neck, and break my headphones everytime.

  10. SCO vs The Matrix on Could Google Be SCO's Next Big Target? · · Score: 1

    In other news, scientists in New Mexico discovered the fictional world of the Matrix, may quite possibly be real. However, unlike the description given in the movie, the matrix is actually a computer program which has been running for several years at an unknown location. He was happy to say the Matrix runs on Linux, and not windows, so a system crash is "unlikely". SCO has decided to sue the creaters of the matrix, whom he calls "God", for royaltees on free software.

  11. Design Patterns are a Shared Language on J2EE Design Patterns · · Score: 1

    Patterns save time and effort by supplying developers with a shared language when discussing common problems.

    Finally someone with an accurate description of what a design pattern actually is. In fact, that is ALL it is. I disagree that being able to identify patterns in your code saves time and effort though. And how does forcing patterns into your code help when, by definition, a design pattern is commonly occoring. Yes, you may have added new words to your vocabulary of programmer technobabble, but how helpful is it?

  12. Low Level Java on Java Frameworks and Components · · Score: 5, Funny

    With all of the high-quality frameworks available today, it's no longer necessary to even think about writing low-level code.

    And all this time i've been writing all my bytecode with a hex editor, like a sucker.

  13. Re:Very 1st Walkman Ever Had Dual Headphone Abilit on iPod-Jacked · · Score: 1

    ...And for a history lesson on the walkman, go here

  14. Open Source/Microsoft Relationship on A Monocultural Alternative: TheOpenCD · · Score: 1, Funny

    He describes the relation between Open Source and Microsoft as: "one of gnats swarming around a large, slow-moving beast."

    ...Or one of fly's swarming around a hot piece of sh*t.

  15. Post Is Misleading on AMD Predicts End of 32-bit Processors · · Score: 1

    AMD is only speaking of the PC industry #1. 32 bit processors will start fading out in the same way 2x cdrom drives did, or 1 gig hard drives. They will keep making 32 bit processors, but when 64 bit processors reach a certain price customers will have no reason to keep buying 32 bit. Plus none of it mentions anything about throwing away existing 32-bit machines. This "end of 32-bit Processors" crap is just the usual slashdot propaganda.

  16. Playing God on First Reproducing Artificial Virus Created · · Score: 1

    Should we be playing God? Does the potential for good that new life forms may have outweigh the harm they could do?

    Well, you can stop yourself from doing it. But can you stop your enemies?

  17. 5 Years again??? on HP, Princeton Develop New Memory Material · · Score: 3, Funny

    Ah, yes, the future will come...In 5 to 10 years.

  18. Fart Within the Matrix on Feature-Length Matrix Spoof to be Released Soon · · Score: 1

    All the parody you need is here

  19. Re:There already exists a spoof of Matrix on Feature-Length Matrix Spoof to be Released Soon · · Score: 1

    I especially like that one seen in Reloaded where Neo turns into a cartoon and fights hundreds of smiths (who are also cartoons) and at the climax of the scene, gets bored and flys away. Hilarious!

  20. Bring on the Matrix Nerds on Feature-Length Matrix Spoof to be Released Soon · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Great, another Matrix discussion rampant with delusional "deeper meaning" zealots. What's Next? A book on the philosophical ramifications of Demolition Man? Or one on how The Last Action Hero can improve your golf score? Please! The filmmakers are laughing at you.

  21. Article Oddities on SCO Selective About Linux Licensees · · Score: 1

    Last Thursday it revealed that it had delayed until Nov. 1 a plan to double the price of the license in order to give users more time to buy licenses at the lower rate.

    How thoughtful of SCO. So we can pay $699 instead of $1398 for free software. And we have until Halloween?


    "I think the chances of collecting from small businesses are very small, because they have very little to lose," he said. "They don't necessarily know whether they have SCO or Linux. The only time they care about their computer is when it crashes."

    This guy subliminally replaced Windows with an imaginary SCO OS in his sentence. Is Microsoft so deep into this SCO scandal that SCO and Windows can be used interchangably in a sentence?

  22. Definitely Bad on X10 Pays $4.3 million In Damages For Pop-Unders · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    All this will do is send a message that worthless patents are both acceptable and profitable.

  23. Impossible to Hack on Skype Vs. SIPphone - VoIP Compared · · Score: 1

    Calls are encrypted end-to-end using 256-bit AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) encryption, which is nearly impossible to hack

    Nonsense, I've been cracking Skype encryption codes for years. Simply tie a string around a telephone pole, hook it up to a soup can, hold the can to your ear, listen away.

  24. Wine on Seven Years of KDE Celebrated · · Score: 3, Funny

    I really had to install Wine sometimes just to play solitair, what an overhead!
