  1. Careful on Google Won't Pay Bell South · · Score: 1

    You'll get the $50-60 for the craptacular service and $100-120 for the all-inclusive deal if you give them the idea.

  2. Anyone told Bill Frist? on New Device to Detect Skin Cancer From A Picture? · · Score: 1

    I hear he's into remote diagnostics...

  3. I have a text-only cellphone! on Admission Tickets as Text Messages · · Score: 1

    You insensitive clod!

  4. Re:not thieves? on iPod Owners Not Thieves · · Score: 2, Funny

    That's not theft, that's a gift. The gift of gonorrhea.

  5. Not tech but the top spoken gaffe of 2005 on 2005 Foot In Mouth Awards · · Score: 5, Funny

    Without a DOUBT was, "Brownie, you're doing a heck of a job."

  6. Re:Do we own it on Tennessee to Tax Software as Property? · · Score: 1

    Property is itself an abstraction. How can you tell that those rocks belong to Person A while those other rocks over there belong to Person B?

    It's all a legal fiction.

  7. Re:Appropriate Family Guy Quote on Groening Confident on Futurama Relaunch · · Score: 1

    Brisco County, Jr.

  8. Re:Wrong on Up Next... Skypecasting · · Score: 1

    The TOP 100m dash speed is about 10 meters per second or 22 miles per hour, and 90% of those guys are nowhere near that fast. That's WIllie Gault or Darrel Green maybe, but not most of the players.

    I'll grant your point on combining two players speeds together in opposite directions, but that wasn't the implication of the original statement.

  9. Re:Wrong on Up Next... Skypecasting · · Score: 1

    The only way you'll get a football player up to 30 miles per hour is if you fling him.

  10. Re:whole cloth? on Blackberry Competitor Announced · · Score: 1

    "So when they say "they're creating a competitor to Blackberry out of whole cloth", what are they implying?"

    A lack of education?

  11. Re:Electricity in third-world countries on Laptop Makers Skeptical of $100 Laptop Schedule · · Score: 1

    It's got a crank that charges the battery. You can crank it for a few minutes and compute away, far from any other source of energy.

  12. Re:Like taking your PC in for a tune up on Microsoft Launches Anti-Virus Public Beta · · Score: 4, Funny

    Well, it would get the oil and brake fluid out of your PC for one thing!

  13. Used to be called "Curious" on Hooked On The Web · · Score: 1

    I guess the corporate media are trying to stamp out curiosity. If someone pent all day in a library or in a public square talking to people they would be called "Intellectual" or "Gregarious".

    Quit surfing the web and consume, you drones!

  14. And thus... on The RIAA's Halloween Tricks · · Score: 5, Insightful

    And thus did the American cultural hegemony over the rest of the world collapse, leading to a world where India and China exported their values through their music and films while the Hollywood studios argued about whether consumers should be allowed to keep a taped episode of Will and Grace for 24 hours or only 12...

  15. Re:Shouldn't that be ... on Review: Serious Sam II · · Score: 1

    Shouln't they have called it "Son of Sam"?

    This is about the democratization of communication

  17. Forbes has Long been the Crap-Standard on Forbes Goes After Bloggers · · Score: 1, Funny

    I shudder everytime I get called into a senior exec's office and he's got a copy of the Forbes Christmas tech guide on his desk.

    "Says here that everyone is going to ARCnet. Why aren't we?"

    Grrrrrrrumble.

  18. HUGE Opportunity on Microsoft Threatens To Withdraw Windows in S.Korea · · Score: 1

    IBM and Novell and Red Hat should be in South Korea now en masse offering huge deals on hardware, software, and services. They could completley capture one of the most dynamic economies in the world for Linux.

    Selling point one - if we take our marbles and go home - it doesn't matter! There are others who can support you on OSS.

  19. Re:Who the heck is SBC? on Ma Bell is Back · · Score: 1

    To her customers - Satanic Bell Corporation.

  20. Re:That's it, I'm porting on 1/5 of All Human Genes Have Been Patented · · Score: 1

    No only am I with you, I'm imagining a Beowulf cluster of you.

  21. Re:Here comes the flame war... on Western Software Used to Support Censorship · · Score: 1

    Or "Atomic bomb manufacturers"

  22. Re:Fair and Balanced... on Microsoft Spinning Against OpenDocument Via Fox News · · Score: 1

    Traditional my ass. The traditional networks aren't run by former media consultants to Nixon, Reagan and Bush the elder. Traditional news networks aren't run by the guy who came up with the Willie Horton ads.

  23. Re:Try the ING Direct site on Schneier: Make Banks Responsible for Phishers · · Score: 1

    Can I ask what bank that is?

  24. Understatement of the Century on RIAA Goes After Satellite Radio · · Score: 4, Insightful

    "the RIAA is starting to overstep its bounds"

  25. Re:Try the ING Direct site on Schneier: Make Banks Responsible for Phishers · · Score: 1

    The little calculator dohickey (a token, I assume) is the weak spot. People lose those. A lot.
