  1. Re:Reply now for exciting business opurtunity! on SCO's Next Target: SGI? · · Score: 1

    Now I know what the fuck all this SCO stuff is all about. Thanks for the easy to read Nigerian scam version.

  2. Re:CD Contents? on Sunday Newspapers, Now With CDs · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Not sure if the CD that comes with the Sunday Times has a static copy but they already have an "ePaper" version of their daily available for around $120 a year. It's "printed" at 5am GMT on the day of publication!

  3. Re:De-orbit the ISS NOW while you still can on More on the Orbital Space Plane · · Score: 1

    " I'm saying that the ISS has turned into a colossal waste of resources better spent on other things (Mars)" Quite a bit of what's going on in the ISS is preparing for a manned trip to Mars actually.

  4. The Orlando Sentinel is a Florida paper? on More on the Orbital Space Plane · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I guess only Floridians could take a poll among Floridians and assume it reflects the will of the American people, and it's also not surprising that 60% of Floridians polled think the space program is cool seeing as most of NASA is based there! I actually agree with them but c'mon Florida, you don't exactly have your finger on the pulse of the Nation!

  5. Re:Here we go again: on IBM Releases Compiler for Power4 and G5 · · Score: 1

    Ever considered a job at Best Buy? They'll need people like you when Apple starts selling their stuff there!

  6. Tell the truth!! on Learning to Say No in the Workplace? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I've told customers in the past that we're not taking on any new clients until our production system has been upgraded to handle increased workloads, and in almost all cases they were willing hold until we were ready. They appreciated the fact that we weren't spreading ourselves too thin, risking long term failure for the sake of padding our short term coffers, so just tell the truth.

  7. Re:not renewing... on Brazilian Government Continues Push For Free Software · · Score: 1

    What would happen if the Brazilian Govt. (or any govt. for that matter) decided to start using kracked copies of Microsoft products to run their PC's? Would Microsoft get the U.S. Govt. to go kick their asses?

  8. Re:So what DO we do? on Osirusoft Blacklists The World · · Score: 1

    IPS should read ISP. Ok, ok, I didn't use the Preview button just this one time and see what happens!

  9. Re:So what DO we do? on Osirusoft Blacklists The World · · Score: 1

    When you waste time every day going through the spam that got through your IPS's filters, and your own filters, deciding what is, and what is not actually spam, you are effectively doing what you suggest in paragraph two of your post, namely wasting time going through your mail and deciding what is, and what is not actually spam. The only difference is you would have to notify the non-spammer that you did indeed want them to send you some mail, and how would they know you weren't them spamming them?

  10. Re:Are you sure it's tea? on How About A Cup Of The Answer To Everything? · · Score: 1

    If you need a good cup of tea that tastes like a good cup of tea pick up a box of Tetley British Blend! It beats all that fancy overpriced crap from Twinings hands down, and has nothing whatsoever to do with the number 42.

  11. Re:This is VERY true on Electronic Voting Machine Cracker Challenge · · Score: 1

    They could always hire the spouse of a local priest to pick balls at random out of a bingo machine ;-)

  12. Virtual Sex Game Levels on Carmack on New id Game, Game Theory · · Score: 1

    I wonder how many levels there will be, and what they will be called, when virtual sex games hit the shelves?

    Level One - Virgin, Level Fifty - Mega Galaxia Nightstrobe

  13. Re:Toyish? on New Longhorn Screenshots Leaked · · Score: 2, Funny

    I hear the next version of Windows will come with a can of Turd Polish.

  14. Re:Cost Benefit Analysis on SoBig: Worst is Yet to Come · · Score: 1

    On a hunch I just looked up F. Gibos in the phone book but the closest I saw was a Mr. F. Gibosi, 16 Virus St., Hackertown, NJ. Could this be the mastermind behind the SoBig.F virus I wonder?!

  15. Re:No firewall? Probably not. on Microsoft Worms Crash Ohio Nuke Plant, MD Trains · · Score: 2, Funny

    Most likely the laptop belonging to the guy who drops by every week to make sure the firewall is up and running.

  16. Re:uh huh... on MSN Messenger Access To Be Restricted · · Score: 1

    Hope AOL doesn't lock iChat out, I use that more than email. Would they do that?

  17. Re:Good grief - In the good old days on Solving a Wiring Mess? · · Score: 3, Funny

    Big pansy! You call not having hands tough. When I was a kid we didn't even have bodies.

  18. Re:IBM's research = REAL applications on Meet Martin Taylor Of Microsoft's Open Source Test Lab · · Score: 1

    I can't figure out how IBM is still so massive! It's not like they've been changing the OS or hardware World recently. Are they so huge that sheer momentum will keep them going and going forever.

  19. OK, Microsoft, now you can open that iToons Store on Mitch Bainwol To Succeed Hilary Rosen As RIAA Head · · Score: 1

    Amazing isn't it, a republican getting the top spot at the RIAA just as Microsoft is poised to launch its monopoly building closed source WMA based music download service.

    Is this the end of the brave new music download world as we know it?

  20. Forgive me if I'm wrong but on How To Make Dual Booting A (Bigger) Pain · · Score: 1

    isn't this Copying as opposed to Installing an OS?

    How about, "Have you ever been TO Slovakia and DRUNKEN Beer?" Will that work?

  23. Ooops on Linux Beer Hike in Slovakia · · Score: 1

    Should be called The Linux LAGER Hike in Slovakia - no Beer there!
