  1. Please tell me this is a joke? on Alternative Browsers Impede Investigations · · Score: 0

    Good grief, it's stuff like this that makes me afraid for the future of humanity. So if I were to use emacs on my windows box they couldn't read any of my files???

  2. Re:Had my cup o' pedant this morning.. on Happy Birthday, Amiga · · Score: 0

    Hell no, could you play the killing gameshow on a Cray? I think Not! :)

  3. Re:I'm still tired and coffee'd up to my eyeballs! on Daylight Savings Change Proposed · · Score: 0

    It don't effect me one way or the other. I work best in the wee hours of the night. I prefer to sleep when the giant ball of flame rises! "Time is an illusion, lunchtime doubly so." -Ford Prefect

  4. So What? on Fl. County Halts FTTP Until Installation Is Safer · · Score: 0

    Hey, I'll put up with that for a fiber connection. The roads are so bad in my town anyway. I reported a water leak down my street over four months ago and they are just looking at it now. Not fixing, just looking!

  5. Love stuff like this on Shootout: 'rm -Rf /' vs. 'Format C:' · · Score: 0

    Very interesting. I still prefer the EMP device I carry in my shoe for speed. :)

  6. Battery powered? on Battery-powered Cigarettes? · · Score: 0

    So I can just see it now. People asking to bum a charge off your pack...

  7. Huge market potential on Coating Promises Scratch-Proof CDs, DVDs, LCDs · · Score: 0

    Hey, if they could put this stuff on watch crystals they would have something.

  8. Re:just look for the urgency on The 419eater Community Pulls Some Legs · · Score: 0

    Could be either? I don't even remember typing it.

  9. Re:just look for the urgency on The 419eater Community Pulls Some Legs · · Score: 0

    Unless your at the Post Office. :)

  10. Scares me on Car Hacks & Mods for Dummies · · Score: 0

    Ok, I've moded my PCs and alot of other equipment. But I'm a little leary of moding something I travel 70mph down the freeway in. If I forget to secure the clips on my water block it doesn't cause a 20 car pile up on the 405.

  11. Re:What about Worldwind? on Google Acquires Keyhole Corp. · · Score: 0

    Tried Woldwind before I signed up with Keyhole a while ago, Keyhole is way faster and better interface. Now with Google behind them maybe they will beef up their servers.

  12. Re:Am I the only one... on Godless Godzilla and Godzilla at 50 · · Score: 0

    Did anyone watch the trailer? Like they need a 500k feed to show darkness? I'd like to see more than a one second flash and cheezy titles!

  13. Brilliant Marketing on Short Text Messages In Mid-Air · · Score: 1, Funny

    What a great idea, a phone that you have to wave wildly in the air to send your message! The marketing people at Nokia are geniuses. It has built in repeat sales all over it. Think of all the extras they can sell too! Impact insurance, bystandard protection plan and of course for the die hards little tethers like on surfboards.

  14. Ultimate Security? on One-Time Pads To Protect Electronic Bank Access · · Score: 0

    Yeah, but security is no match for stupidity. How much you want to bet people will write their passwords on the back of the card for safe keeping. I still see people with their passwords on a 3X5 card in their desk drawer.

  15. Theatre Employees on Night Vision Goggles vs Pirates · · Score: 0

    I don't think people with handhelds in the theatre are the real problem. When I saw the opening of Return of the King, the projectionist had a DV cam set up to record from the booth. It was very obvious and yet nobody working there said anything.

  16. Re:Your brother is in China on business on Do-It-Yourself VOIP Telco · · Score: 0

    A whitelist on your phone, sweet. Now if only I could add that to my cell phone!

  17. Netscape vs Mozilla on AOL to Release Netscape 7.2 Based on Mozilla 1.7 · · Score: 0

    I know many people that still use Netscape at home. The main difference from Mozilla is you can check Netscape WebMail accounts straight from the mail client, you get AOL Instant Messenger built in, and the spellchecker is much better than Mozilla's.

  18. I feel better on Newsflash: Gourmet Coffees Have Lots Of Caffeine · · Score: 0

    At last, I have justification for walking down to the corner Starbucks rather than drinking the coffee from the machine 20 feet from my desk.

  19. Jar Jar free? on Star Wars Episode III : Birth Of The Empire · · Score: 0

    I can handle surfing on lava, no problem. But, if Jar Jar is in this movie I swear I'm going to freak out and start clawing at the screen. :)

  20. Desktop UFO on Those Amazing Antigravity Machines? · · Score: 0

    Ok, so they are not anit-gravity. But they look cool and would make great desktop toys. (Except for the High DC voltage running through them.)

  21. Wow on Hard Drives Instead of Tapes? · · Score: 0, Troll

    That would take a while to fill with MP3s!
