  1. Re:In the future... on Disney Licenses MS Windows Media DRM · · Score: 1

    Brother, I hope you are wrong, but I doubt it.

    Please mod up so more people can read this.

  2. Re:Who really wants to download movies anyway? on Disney Licenses MS Windows Media DRM · · Score: 1

    Very true. SPJ has said many times that Apple are categorically not interested in this 'market' because it will never amount to anything, that people want 'instant gratification', and no matter you've a T-1, this is not going to be 'in an instant'.

    It would last.

    Jobs knows how to deal with MS. He proved that back in 1997, didn't he?

  4. Re:Disney movies on MS? on Disney Licenses MS Windows Media DRM · · Score: 1

    No but very very soon.

    How do you know this?

    Just because you're paranoid, doesn't mean they're not after you - Kurt Cobain

    And Cat Stevens covered Sheryl Crow, and Bob Dylan covered Guns 'n' Roses - the quote is from /usr/games/fortune, and probably dates to almost before little Kurt was even a naughty look in Mr Cobain Sr's eyes.

    Erudition is an elusive butterfly...

  6. Re:Turn on PBS instead of the Eisner Channel on Disney Licenses MS Windows Media DRM · · Score: 1

    The people of Cambridge (the real one, in the UK) are up in arms about Disney. They feel Winnie belongs to them.

    Even my 8yo son is up in arms. He HATES what Disney has so typically done to this figure.

    I fully agree with them all.

  7. It's Not Wannabe on Learn How to Program Using Any Web Browser · · Score: 1

    It is sad that programming is becoming yet another wannabe art and is rather ceasing to be an art altogether.

  9. No Diff on The Useless Meeting Wack Jobs · · Score: 1

    There is no difference between types of meetings. Any categorisation is completely unnecessary. The only people who like to go to meetings are people who offer the company no other innate value.

    We learned early on that you have to hide when everyone is leaving for a meeting, and if you ever get caught, move slowly towards the meeting locale, so you can backtrack when the coast is clear.

    People who like to go to meetings are the scourge of the industry. They often go into politics. Which is probably good riddance.

    evangelism efforts

    Such a sweet term...

  11. Re:With the way these guys get into name disputes. on Mozilla Firebird gets .8 Release, and New Name · · Score: 3, Funny

    'Samantha Fox' would also have been appropriate. After all, the Gecko engine makes it a bit top-heavy.

  12. Re:Totally brutal... on Mozilla Firebird gets .8 Release, and New Name · · Score: 1

    Name conflicts - resolved by picking the name of an Eastwood movie. Will it be Thunderfox now too? Or can we expect the emailer's spam filter renamed Dirty Harry sometime soon?

  13. Re:The gift he'll cherish on What to Get My Geek for Valentine's Day? · · Score: 1

    Mod up, mod up, mod up.

    Then someone go out and get some girls. This is getting boring.

    Parent proves what many have always suspected - namely that anal sex and illiteracy go hand in lubed hand.

    There is only Zuul.

    Are you the Gatekeeper? Where the fuck you been?

  16. Re:Blow job on What to Get My Geek for Valentine's Day? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Don't agree. A good BJ is not a distraction; a non-geek woman hanging about and wanting your attention all the time when you are trying to do SERIOUS WORK - that's a distraction.

    But some women don't understand and some women do - and the ones that do, those are the ones we stick with.

    If you want to make sure you get that BJ for Valentine's Day - buy her velour knee pads.

  17. Re:Something classy on What to Get My Geek for Valentine's Day? · · Score: 1

    If it doesn't have a million blinking blue leds on it, they don't buy it... maybe a nice shirt or two.

    With blinking LEDs?

    I got an even better idea: We throw a big party and invite YOU, and we all lube our fingers and stick them up YOUR butt, and then we have a good laugh and kick you out.

    Now that's a Valentine's Day present!

    I do have some male friends that like purple, but most of them are gay

  25. Re:I agree, mod parent up! on Ten Technologies That Refuse to Die · · Score: 1

    A watch is not a timepiece - it's JEWELRY, you fool.

    But OK - you go around without a watch, and I'll keep my gold one on (which I never use to tell the time, ever) and we'll see who looks better and who stands out at an insufferable schmuck.
