  1. Heh.... on Jonathan Ive Named Designer of the Year · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    It's funny to see /.ers trying to make jokes out of the name "Ive"....

    " 'Ive' got a good idea! "

    Haha, yippee, I'm crying from laughter.

    Damn karma whores.

  2. Re:Hetrogeneous networks on Symantec CTO on Flash Attacks · · Score: 4, Interesting

    So many theories exist on the downfall of the Mayans, but one prominent theory has always been their perfection of corn (this is already a flawed analogy, seeing as Microsoft has most certainly not perfected the OS market).

    However, the corn was then susceptible to one virus that could have killed nearly all the corn.

    With one OS dictating the market's every move, it only takes one virus to render the world useless.

  3. Oh Great. on Symantec CTO on Flash Attacks · · Score: 1

    You just know that Microsoft is going to use this as an excuse for Windows vulnerabilities.

    "Yes, that blue screen that you're seeing is actually what is known as a 'flash attack' that is becomming so common...."

  4. Re:#1 Reason why DVD-R is a must at work... on Blow the Whistle, Lose Your Job? · · Score: 1

    Finally something useful! I bet it even keep things cool when you want them to. Oh the possibilities....

  6. Re:That's Easy on What Would You Put Into A Software Survival Kit? · · Score: 1

    It seems so easy in retrospect; if only I could reach that escape key......

  7. Re:That's Easy on What Would You Put Into A Software Survival Kit? · · Score: 1

    Maybe he wouldn't need a survival kit if he ran Mac OS X....

    Okay, okay, I'm just kidding; Mac OS X has just as many quirks (currently, I can't press the escape or delete keys). In either case, those two CDs have bailed out my Macs on more than one occasion, with either a permission repair or a repair installation to return to "productivity" sans bugs.

  8. That's Easy on What Would You Put Into A Software Survival Kit? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Just my two Mac OS X 10.2 CDs.

  9. Re:Next up: Microsoft Battles God on Microsoft Wants to Take on Google · · Score: 1

    Don't you mean "deity" and not "diety"? Unless, of course, you are insinuating that Microsoft is dieting in terms of their software production, and is therefore an anemic company; not that one wouldn't imply this based on Microsoft Word's performance.

  10. This can't be that great... on George Foreman USB iGrill · · Score: 2, Funny

    George Foreman! Pshah! Jimmy Dean Sausages. Now that's a winner.

  11. Re:Old answer I'm affraid on LCD Price Fixing? · · Score: 1

    Actually, it's more of a "nobody cares if we have high prices" thing. There is too little competition with too little initiative to lower prices. Even if demand skyrocketed, it would be competition that would lower prices.

  15. Wow. on Why ICANN Needs Fresh Blood · · Score: 1

    Their site is almost as bad as their service.

    I've seen this on multiple occasions, actually. Exactly why this is the case, ask Taco.

  17. EFF? on Mitchell Kapor Leaves Groove Over TIA · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    "one of the founders of the EFF"

    The Extremely Fat Females? I love that site!

  18. Help on PHP4 Web Development Solutions · · Score: 2

    I own the PHP Bible (not the newest one), so here's a question: what reasons would you give me for buying this book and ditching the PHP Bible?

  19. Sweet! on McDonalds to go Wireless? · · Score: 5, Funny

    Now I can get fat twice over.

  20. Other Sites on An IMDb for Books · · Score: -1, Redundant

    Can't one simply go to Amazon.com to get reviews and ratings? IMDb is a great and magnificently large site, but Amazon.com does virtually the same thing, only with more of a commercial twist.

    Unless the new books website is large enough, I just see no reason for the endeavour, and I'll keep on visiting Amazon.com for my reviews.

    (not that Amazon.com is the only site that does reviews)

  21. I'll never like tape backup on MiniDV As A Backup Medium · · Score: 2, Insightful

    What's the point? DVDs and CDs are, as far as I can tell, the best way to backup data. I've been backing up data for years, and tape drives are slow, relatively expensive, and provide little protection against time.

  22. LOTR on Helms Deep Battle Recreated In Doom · · Score: -1, Troll

    Lord of the Rings blows.

  23. It's Done For? on NASA Gives Up On Pioneer 10 · · Score: 3, Funny

    So, it's just dying out there? And what about our other "deep-space" probes? Yep, on the death bed.

    So, using rice_web's ingenious stupidity, I've come up with:

    (1) Send a new probe to follow our dying probes and act as a relay for the information.

    (2) Just completely start over and get new probes up and running, and moving more quickly than our dying probes.

  24. Re:first spacecraft on Mars on More on the Mars Ice Cap · · Score: 1

    Okay, I just wasn't sure.

    Perhaps it actually was evidence from 1965, as opposed to the 1966 that the story says--it wouldn't be the first editing error.

  25. Re:first spacecraft on Mars on More on the Mars Ice Cap · · Score: 2, Informative

    Well, July 14th plus nine months equals 1966. Remember, it takes a while to get to there (unless, of course, those dates are the ddates when they flew by).
