  1. Active X and Clippy are the answer... duh! (EOM) on FSF, OpenOffice.org Team Reach Agreement on Java · · Score: 1

    Active X and Clippy are the answer... duh! (EOM)

  2. In country Russia on Nuclear Battery That Runs 10 Years · · Score: 1

    In America you charge battery. In country Russia battery charges YOU!

  3. Re:WHY are we going to the moon, a second time? on Lockheed Martin unveils Space Shuttle replacement · · Score: 1

    Because Rice played Texas, you bastard!

  4. Britney Spears cloned? on Lab-Made Fireball May Be a Black Hole · · Score: 1

    When I learned that a black hole was created in a lab, I thought someone had cloned Britney!

  5. Critique on Intelligent MIDI Sequencing with Hamster Control · · Score: 2, Interesting

    The first movement showed potential. Then the artist relied on repetative motifs remaniscent of a drunken irish jig. While approaching the cheery playfullness of Mozart at his finest, Mr. Hamster falls short of brilliance. 8/10 overall.

  6. Re:What about XFL football? on In Depth Reactions to EA / ESPN Deal · · Score: 1

    Yes, Jessie Ventura could do commentary and you get extra points for dropping the ball and generally sucking!

  7. Re:They are Stylish!!! on Wireless Bluetooth Sunglasses · · Score: 1

    Oakley markets their products to dorks. The people in these pictures are dorks. Dorks will buy them to look cool, and will look even more dorky. Dork, just to say dork again.

  8. Re:Creative wins in sound quality on Creative Gunning For the iPod · · Score: 1

    Farking Koolaid drinking Maccult members. Creative's output is better. When the volume was turned up on his overpriced Ipod, it sounded like the shit that it was.

  9. Creative wins in sound quality on Creative Gunning For the iPod · · Score: 1

    My friend was bitching about the quality of his ipod on his $1000 sound system so I hooked up the Creative Nomad Zen Xtra. The sound was louder, with less loss of quality. The difference was frankly, amazing. And the Zen cost $100 less.

  10. Re:another step in the wrong direction on G4 Drops TechTV Name · · Score: 1

    at leaar they ditched "Thunderbirds"

  11. Aquanet from 1980s on Ozone Hole Getting Smaller · · Score: 4, Funny

    Generally, it takes Aqua-net approximately 15 years to escape the earth's atmosphere. The residual Aqua-net from 1980's groups like the Cure and Poisen , as well as teenage girls, who are now fat 30-somethings, has escaped the stratosphere. So long as fashion trends to not revert to high bangs and glam-band hair... we will survive.

  12. Monolith in the background on Macaque Monkey Goes Totally Bipedal · · Score: 1

    Someone needs to photoshop a monolith in the background:-)

  13. Demos on Commodore - Back In The Hardware Biz At Last? · · Score: 1

    Hopefully they will come up with an LCD that will play all of the latest scene demos. Hopefully it will play the PAL versions cuz the NTSC suck. Also,I year to play Congo Bongo and Gorf on an mp3 player

  14. Screw methanol-I want a battery that runs on farts on Toshiba Develops World's Smallest Fuel Cells · · Score: 1

    I won't jump on board until they make a fuel cell that runs on methane. Thate way all of the sugar alcohol in those damn low carb candy bars that I eat could run my laptop, instead of running my wife out of the house. A battery that runs on farts will surely win the nobel prize.

  15. Foo's (Dan's) final d-d-d-dance? on Comcast Fires TechTV Staff · · Score: 1

    Foo's (Dan's) final d-d-d-dance?

  16. CDBaby.com on Record Labels Push for iTunes Price Hike · · Score: 4, Informative

    Yes, CDBaby is an a great company. My group, Dancing Baptists, is with them and they've distributed us to Itunes, Napster, Tower Records, and many others. We get a full half of our sales. For every 99 cent song we sell on Itunes, we get about 50 cents. Moreover, we sell 7.99 CDs on CD Baby's store, and we get $4.99 each. A wonderful service. Soundclick.com is also a great neo-MP3 like site, probably the most active, and does not steal the rights to our music.

  17. MP3 com platinum artist that got scammed on Last Great Internet Bubble Auction · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Well, I tried to sign up my band "Dancing Baptists" for $99 last fall. After they charged my credit card money, I got spit to a page telling me MP3.com is shutting down in a week, thanked me for my business, and that I could not upload any new songs. I never got a refund. After several e-mails, I gave up. It seems that many others had the same thing happen to them... too bad it did not happen to a lawyer so there could be a class action against C-net. Oh well, not worth my time, I'm having fun at my new home www.dancingbaptist.com

  18. Voices on Turn Your Head Into Speakers · · Score: 1

    I hear voices already. Who needs speakers? NO! They're coming!

  19. Re:Deactivating a PC is permanent? on Dell DJ: Yet Another MP3 Player · · Score: 1

    It does not matter, MusicMatch DRM is flawed and do not work well on any PC other than the original without asking for a password and crashing the whole system. Let's hope Napster does better. I bought $200 worth of musicmatch songs before realizing this and had to rip them all to MP3s.

  20. I used to own almost 1000 on Universal Music To Cut CD Prices · · Score: 1

    I used to own almost 1000 cds which I accumulated since high school. I sold all of them recently when I got a satellite radio. I did not keep any files or copies, though when I sold 100 at once e-bay pulled my sale and accused me of pirating.

    I've not bought a CD since the RIAA started cracking down on downloaders.

    I bought the most when, in 1999, I would download a song on Napster, like it, then go by the artist's CD.

    Now I refuse to support a racketeering mob-style organization who prays upon customers buy suing them.

  21. Lost a $300 rebate on Are Rebates Scandalous? · · Score: 1

    I bought a $1800 Sony LCD projector from a reputable mail-order place and donated it to my church. Advertised was a rebate for a $300 replacement bulb. So I got the bulb. I downloaded the rebate form and it wanted the original UPC. There is no UPC on the mail-order shipping box (just a brown box). So I'm out $300. That sucks... it is total B.S.!
