  1. Re:New Analog Format on Vinyl To Signal the End for CDs? · · Score: 0

    It's like claiming that a knife is better than a gun, because you can't shoot yourself in the foot with the knife.
    Actually, I was going to say it like this: "That's like bitching about how hot girls don't flirt with you so you slam your penis in a car door repeatedly to vent frustration."
  2. These drives are great... but, on Seagate Releases Hybrid Hard Drive · · Score: 2, Informative

    I've seen one of these at a trade event in Atlanta earlier this year. The idea is great, and after much strenuous testing, seemed to still work great. I can't wait to get my hands one some!

  3. Mod offtopic + Troll + Flamebait on Adobe Confirms Unpatched PDF Backdoor · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Typical Adobe. This business model approach is startling, but the good news is that it hasn't reached Microsoft's proportions of stupidity. On a side note, ... The flavor text at the bottom of the page, "If the rich could pay the poor to die for them, what a living the poor could make!" Don't Republicans already do this with our soilders in Iraq?

  4. On other news.. on Indiana Jones Gets Robbed · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    .. Steven Spielberg was upset that someone also stole his bottle of Extra Tangy Diet Fudge Raisin Tartar sauce.

    My ROFLcore processor goes soi soi soi soi soi soi soi soi.. and allows me to 40 box world of warcraft.

  7. This is gadgety.. but not high tech.. on U.S. Soldiers Hate New High-Tech Gear · · Score: 0

    High tech would be a robot overlord wrecking havoc against are enemies for us.. that is, unless we're the enemies.. then we'd pretty much think it was the suck.

    Stealing Theiving Appropriating Looting Kleptomanias Extortion R... ER... wait.. doh!

  9. This machine.. on Linux Based Nokia N800 Internet Tablet Reviewed · · Score: 0

    .. will open many a door for enthusiasts and companys alike. I've had a chance to see one of these things in action. Definitely a geek toy, but how it's marketed and what Toshiba will do with the machine in the end will be what makes or breaks this little gizmo.

  10. that's not all folks.. on Intel's Penryn Benchmarked · · Score: 5, Funny

    The Penryn core is just the first. Wait for the Teller core to come out. It's slight of hand techniques tricks you into thinking it has actually out performed other chips.

  11. Half of all apes agree... on Chimps Evolved More Than Humans · · Score: 1, Funny

    Half of all apes agree. The other half believe in creationism and think a giant banana yielding, intangible, hairy father figure made them in his likeness.

  12. Re:CD Burners and Zip disks on PC World's 20 Most Annoying Tech Products · · Score: 1

    Zip disks sucked, but CD Burners not working correctly in their infancy? That's like bitching about how hot girls don't flirt with you so you slam your penis in a car door repeatedly to vent frustration. CD Burners worked great then for what they were, and they work awesome now from how far they've come.

  13. Hmmm.. on PC World's 20 Most Annoying Tech Products · · Score: 0, Troll

    I'd have to put PCworld on top of that list. Crap put out to the masses by crap artists that crap lovers love to read, the wipe crap on afterwards.

  14. hmm.. and the whole time.. on Vista Taking a Nibble Out of Apple in OS Wars? · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    I just installed Vista on my machine, and my machine just died. Looks like they're not getting me. "I just installed Vista onto my computer, and it doesn't work LOLOLOLolol!!!!11"

  18. Re:Blast + Gravity = No more Holland Tunnel on FBI Foils Attack by Monitoring Chat Rooms · · Score: 1

    How to defeat steel.. Subject steel to blasts and/or heat. Steel loses. Ask any fireman.

  19. Re:Blast + Gravity = No more Holland Tunnel on FBI Foils Attack by Monitoring Chat Rooms · · Score: 2, Interesting
    Yes.. mistake made on city names.. gotcha

    Now, for the explosion in a tunnel. I understand how they make tunnels. Those are called controlled blasts. They do a little at a time for a reason. It's called, "Creating something not destroying something." Someone who wanted to destroy the tunnell would only have to create a huge explosion that couldn't vent out the tunnel's two ends. By doing so, force from the blast would damage rock. That is when Gravity would come into effect.

    You can't compare controlled blasts to someone trying to blow up something like that Holland Tunnel. Two different animals.

  20. Re:Blast + Gravity = No more Holland Tunnel on FBI Foils Attack by Monitoring Chat Rooms · · Score: 1

    Doh! Yes, that's what I meant.

  21. Blast + Gravity = No more Holland Tunnel on FBI Foils Attack by Monitoring Chat Rooms · · Score: 1
    From the article: The Holland Tunnel is protected not just by bedrock, but also by concrete and cast-iron steel. One counter-terrorism source told the Daily News it was doubtful a plot to blow it up would be feasible, saying huge amounts of explosives and a detailed knowledge of blast effect would be necessary."

    You've got to be kidding me. Timothy McVeigh used enough explosive to destroy a SOLID building in Kansas City. How much wout it take to destroy a tunnel? Remember folks, Gravity would work on the side of the explosives.

  22. For all the anonymous cowards... on Do MMORPG's Cause People to Buy Fewer Games at Retail? · · Score: 0, Offtopic
    ... let's just queue up these lines before we get 23049823098423 of them.

    Yes.. but does it run linux? and..
    I, for one, welcome our MMORPG causing people to buy fewer game masters.

    Stop regurgitating the same lines. Come up with something new.

    Now to answer the question.. MMORPG's keeping people from buying games? How about keeping people from living life? I've noticed now that the MMORPG nerds are REALLY reclusive. Heh, I should know.. I one of them.

  23. Incredible read.. on Håkon Responds to Questions About CSS and... · · Score: 1

    .. one would have to ask, "What is CSS, and do we think it's involved in these discusions some how?"

    There's also the distinct possibility that the owner of the second line isn't being straight with you.

    Haha, you don't say? Hmmm... look at the language..

    .. not being straight with you.. haha, you think?

  25. I've had this problem also.. on Has My Cell Number Been Cloned? · · Score: 5, Informative
    .. With Verizon Wireless. They wouldn't help me resolve the issue over tech support forums, or through phone call tech support. Know how I got it fixed?

    I showed up at a Verizon Wireless sales center, yelling and complaining (trust me, I can throw quite the tantrum,) until a manager finally got in touch with someone to fix the issue.

    I got three months of free service for the trouble.. and since I've had perfect phone bills.

    Never underestimate the power of being an ass when you're not treated fairly..
