  1. Re:The Emperor's Clothes on Windows Vista RC1 Impresses Critics · · Score: 3, Funny
    a place where every big, corporate business wants to be

    Every big corporate business with aspirations to be evil sees Microsoft as a comrade. Of course they want to do business with them.

  2. Please Watch the SciFi Channel. Please! on Firefly Marathon on SciFi, September 18th · · Score: 1

    Or next thing you know, it'll become the "All Wrasslin, All the Time" channel... at least, that is, until it morphs into a cooking channel.

  3. Re:Wireless Brothers? on Samsung Breaks the 4G Barrier · · Score: 1
    from another planet?

    Shiiiiit, that would be truly funkadelic.

  4. Planet or not... on Pluto Decision Meets with Frustration · · Score: 1

    Pluto's orbit remains blissfully unchanged. I'm sure the Sun's classification has changed more than a few times in some alien lexicon. And yet we continue to put our shoes on in the morning.

  5. Re:You can tell something about these people on Irish Company Claims Free Energy · · Score: 1
    2) If it's true, someone will patent it and it won't be free

    For the first 17 years. A brief half-breath compared to the millennia to come of free energy for humanity. And 17 short years for all the countries with big stakes in all other forms of energy, to try to adjust to the new economy. Something like this could trigger a nuclear war.

  6. Butane powered batteries on Is Your Laptop At Risk While Traveling? · · Score: 1

    I guess this puts this technology out of business. Ain't no butane on a plane now, and there's not a GOTdamn thing you can do about it.

  7. "hand-held hacking tool" aka... on Researcher Creates Handheld Hacking Tool · · Score: 5, Funny

    a machete. TIBHAW,TTV.

  8. Re:Big Oil on Hydrogen Powered Toy Car · · Score: 1
    Reminds me of groups that have two AA's in their names.

    AARP? Quit pickin' on the old folks, man!

  9. Hope it has a wrist strap on Wii-mote In Action · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Hate to be going for that backhand shot, have the thing slip out of my fingers, and go right through my (hypothetical) $3000 TV.

  10. Hello, SCO? Please... on New Caldera Promised · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    die in a fire!

  11. Re:vice laws on WA Law Means Linking to Gambling Websites Illegal · · Score: 1
    Governments all over should just admit reality

    Yeah, good luck with that one. Same governments, that when somebody gets caught bonking his secretary or taking a wad of cash from an aggressive campaign contributor, he suddenly resigns "to-spend-more-time-with-his-family."

    Do they really think people buy that line of shit? Or is it just the accepted custom, like asking somebody how they're doing, even when you really don't give a fuck.

  12. Bogus Crash Reports on Microsoft to Turn to Driver Quality Ratings System · · Score: 2, Insightful

    From competitors for the obvious reasons. How to prevent?

  13. Fireball on New Crater On Moon Caught On Video · · Score: 1

    Mentioned a fireball, but... no air, no fire, no fireball. Little bit underwhelmed.

  14. Re:Just one problem among many. on Hawking Says Humans Must Go Into Space · · Score: 5, Funny
    Could they make a spacesuit for a cow? A cowsuit?

    A spacesuit is what you wear when you are in space. A cowsuit...?!

  15. Re:Let's not forget to bash the other bad guys too on Microsoft Misrepresenting WGA's Functionality? · · Score: 1
    And second the most evil spy ware in the universe - steam - tells me I have a banned CD key

    This is exactly why I have refused to purchase or play HL2. Steam can suck my hairy ball sack. Normally, I don't like it when people try to cheat software companies out their due payment for their product, but in this case, I hope Steam gets pirated/cracked into oblivion.

    Dirty pig fuckers.

  16. Like Digging Their Own Grave on Techies Asked To Train Foreign Replacements · · Score: 3, Insightful

    before getting a bullet in the brain.

  17. Re:Not futile or impossible: If thought about. on Ballmer Beaten by Spyware · · Score: 1
    Trying to clean a compromised OS while it's running is a losing battle. It's not even worth bothering to try.

    Get one of those IDE-to-USB cables. Comes with its own power supply for internal drives. Makes it very convenient to scan/clean a drive without cracking your case.

  18. Orbital Mechanics on On Orbital Fuel Stations · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't there be a problem with the fuel depot maintaining a stable orbit? As it offloads mass to another vehicle, it seems its orbit should change because of its changing mass. Something to do with conservation of momentum.

  19. Bloomberg also said... on A DNA Database For All U.S. Workers? · · Score: 1

    for no apparent reason, that these are not the droids you're looking for.

  20. Re:Gee, This Sounds Familiar... on Student Faces Expulsion for Blog Post · · Score: 1
    free-speech-violating-bullshit can and will happen everywhere unless we actually shout and scream

    To most people, free speech is not comfortable or natural. The concept is hard to grasp. This is especially true to those in positions of authority. The only way to preserve our rights to free speech is to diligently crush the toes of those who trespass. So long as we have the First Amendement, this will have to be the way of things.

  21. LET the Server Catch on Fire on Reporting Vulnerabilities Is For The Brave · · Score: 1

    Then giggle insanely to yourself when it does. Better than letting them shoot the messenger. Fucking vindictive fucktards.

  22. Re:Did you plug your fax into the right port? on Ahead of IPO, Vonage Faces User Complaints · · Score: 1
    You sure can fax over the main vonage line!

    Not only that, but I can get my DirecTivo unit to dial out with its internal modem. You have to bump up the bandwidth used by your Vonage service, and dial back the speed at which the Tivo connects, but it can be done.

  23. Overwhelming Response on London 2006, Meet London 1984 · · Score: 1

    Is what the bobbies are going to get. Every old biddy will call in with what she thinks is lewd behavior, and flood the lines with chaff. The signal will definitely be lost in the noise. As long as they're willing to sift through all this for the few valuable nuggets...

  24. Imagine what it saved the telecoms on Telecoms Facing $50 Billion Lawsuit for Wiretaps · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Probably at least $10 or $20 million in "campaign contributions". Yeah, let us help you out with these phone records, gubmint. And be sure to remember us next time we need something nudge nudge wink wink say no more say no more.
