  1. something to watch out for... on MMOGs in South Korea And The Future For Us? · · Score: 1

    ...when people starting dying on the can after marathon gaming sessions. Then we know that the 'social ills' of MMOGS have gone too far in north america.

  2. Re:This of course will force the networks to evolv on The War Between p2p and Record Companies Heating Up? · · Score: 1

    Gnutella's use of SHA1 checking seems to work well; unless the Dark Powers set up a large number of servers with the bogus files, most people will delete the fake tracks. If what you got doesn't match up with the SHA1 of most of the hosted copies, you've probably got a garbage file.

  3. Great Idea! on GoboLinux Rethinks The Linux Filesystems · · Score: 2, Funny

    While we're at it, let's rename all the streets so we all have to relearn how to get where we want to go! Excellent!

  4. Secure data? on Windows Security Through Annoyances? · · Score: 3, Funny

    Is that 'Microsoft' secure or 'secure' secure?

    Besides, I've always found that the little lock in the Mozilla window works fine.

  5. Re:NVidia got itself a good deal on EA and NVIDIA in Alliance · · Score: 1

    No need to imagine. Check out UT2k3. Does "the way it's meant to be played" count as 'NVidia' recommended?

  6. Re:images of the process on Gas Clouds As Giant Telescopes · · Score: 1

    yea I know, but I was hopeing for something a little more interesting, like maybe a sample image taken using the process, or a picture of the gas clouds themselves.

  7. images of the process on Gas Clouds As Giant Telescopes · · Score: 4, Funny

    I'm so glad they included those giant 5mb copies of the images. Those puny little jpegs just weren't enough to explain the process to me. If there's no scrollbar, it's too small.

  8. Excellent on Internet Enabled... Toilet Paper Dispenser · · Score: 5, Funny

    With my stock portfolio, toilet paper is the perfect place to print them out on. At least then they'd be good for something.

  9. alternative on RIAA Seeks Estimated $97.8 Billion From MTU Student · · Score: 1

    As always, Canada welcomes those of you sickened with the current state of American corporate chicanery. Just head north, you'll find us eventually.

  10. No! on AOL will launch TiVo-like Mystro service · · Score: 1, Funny

    Mystro?? It's a mysteron plot! Can't you see! Call Sprectrum and get Captain Scarlet on this one! He's indestructable!

  11. Re:poke-it-with-a-stick department? on First Look At SuSE Linux 8.2 · · Score: 1

    I think that would be more like the rape-it-with-a-sledgehammer department. Must be referring to the distro.

  12. Big deal... on First U.S. Desalination Plant Goes Online · · Score: 1

    My city has dozens of those things. It's cheaper than building a ton of waterpumps and my advisors say that I'm a more popular mayor because of it.

  13. Re:STSF Looks Pretty Cool on The XFree86 Fork() Saga Continues · · Score: 3, Funny

    Yes those are some damn fine clocks. Why bother with xfree at all?

  14. Re:Helm's Deep recreation on Myth. on Myth II Updated · · Score: 1

    Just needs sound, Aragorn, Lego and Gimli

    Yea lego would kick ass in the battle of Helm's Deep. If the orcs blow up your wall, you just rebuild it!

  15. Re:Might not be "geeky" enough... on Great Surplus Stores? · · Score: 1

    Especially if he took it out of its blister package. You know whenever you open the blister package things plummet in value.

  16. The big question... on Brain Prosthesis Ready For Testing · · Score: 3, Funny

    is how long before someone overclocks one of these things? How many tops (thought operations per second) could you get? How would you cool something like that?

  17. Horrors of Tomorrow on Tomorrow's 5G Cell Phone · · Score: 1

    He also said that sending a 10 MB email in a zone where carrier charges are high might cause the CR to alert its user, and suggest waiting until getting to the office to use the LAN instead

    Why do I get the feeling that we haven't seen the last of clippy yet?

    "It seems you're going to screw yourself on bandwidth costs. Would you like some help?"

  18. Re:I don't want to sound like a troll but on Open Source Book a Collective Effort · · Score: 3, Funny

    With enough eyes, all stylistic errors are transparent.

  19. Slammer 1.1 on Slashback: Slammer, Frames, Pop-Ups · · Score: 5, Funny

    There were also two bugs in the random number generator

    Does that mean someone's going to release a patch for it then?

  20. Re:Funny...in AIX... on Large File Problems in Modern Unices · · Score: 1

    Ok, but how many Library of Congresses is that?

  21. Finally! on New Moon of Jupiter Discovered · · Score: 3, Funny

    Does it have tiny volcanos that have to be cleaned every day with a chimney broom? Now we know where that little boy from the stars returns to at the end of every episode!

  22. Implications on Bell Canada Turns Payphones into Public Hotspots · · Score: 5, Funny

    Of course, anyone wishing to use these hotspots will have to persuade the clueless moron inside, trying to call home and wondering why his quarter won't fit anywhere, to come out.

  23. Old News on The Heretofore Unpublished Letters of Ernest Glitch · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Sierra has known about this for some time now.

  24. What's Mozilla On? on Phoenix 0.5 Has Arrived · · Score: 5, Funny

    With the steady increase in computer power (led by the Moore company I believe) and larger disk drive space, why does anyone need a SMALLER browser? I had to upgrade my memory when I bought WinXP - that's how I knew it was better than the OLD windows. I think Mozilla should concentrate on their browser better, like making the GUI translucent, including the latest version of Flash, and packaging those handy (and FREE!) software packages that speed up your internet connection. For myself, I'll stick with IE - the browser that gets BIGGER all the time, and therefore BETTER.

    (remove tongue from cheek)

  25. 1000 bits... on Molecular Photography · · Score: 5, Funny

    If they could just fit 24 more on there, it would be a much easier number to work with...
