  1. If I'm ever buried under one of these things... on Video Tombstones · · Score: 5, Funny

    please make sure the aspect ratio is correct on my video! Did anyone see the picture from the article? Wow, what a cherubic baby! It drives me nuts (in life) to see everyone one watching stretched video on their LCDs all the time. Imagine having your pet peeve playing over your former corporeal existance for eternity.

  2. In other news... on Study Shows One Third of All Studies Are Nonsense · · Score: 1

    Today is opposite day. Also: This statement is false.

  3. Re:Nearly Identical? on Sybase Releases Free Enterprise Database on Linux · · Score: 1

    MS SQL Server was rewritten from the ground up in version 7.0. Sybase and MS SQL Server were using mostly the same code up until MS SQL Server 6.5. The current version of MS SQL is 2000, which is really a 2.0 product.

  4. Best quote on How To Lose An Election · · Score: 2, Insightful
    My favorite quote from the article:

    In December, officials began backing up the data daily, to help avoid similar data wipeouts in the future, said Seth Kaplan, spokesman for the county's elections supervisor, Constance Kaplan.

    Hey, here's a novel IT solution: BACKUP YOUR DATA! Ever hear of fault tolerant disk subsystems? Sheesh!

  5. Re:It was obvious to me... on The Mathematics of Futurama · · Score: 5, Funny
    The gang goes to visit the edge of the universe. It's one of those tourist activities that you never get around to. There is a telescope looking out into the empty expanse. Fry looks into the telescope and sees a mirror image of his entire group, except everyone has a beard, as in Star Trek's evil Spock. Fry asks who they are, and Prof. Farnsworth tells him it's another universe.

    Fry: "Are there an infinite number of universes?"

    Prof. F.: "No, just the two."

  6. Re:That is so retarded on Safe and Insecure? · · Score: 2, Informative

  7. Andy Kaufman strategy on SCO Fires back, Subpoenas Stallman, Torvalds et al · · Score: 1

    I'll sue you all!

  8. You do NOT need the DVD remote on Dragon's Lair on X-box · · Score: 1

    You DO need the DVD remote to play the already released

    Dragon's Lair or

    Dragon's Lair II: Time Warp,

    but you do NOT need a DVD remote for the upcoming release of

    Dragon's Lair 3D: Return to the Lair.
