    IGNITION! ;)

  2. Re:Off-Topic: SI Units on Disk Drive Failures 15 Times What Vendors Say · · Score: 1

    Someone with brains anticipated jokes about 500 GB not being a bigi and put the bi denominator after the magnitude. She deserves a Bimer. :-)

  3. Re:Wait, what? on Academic Credentials and Wikiality · · Score: 1

    I bet it's related to the decreasing number of pirates!

  4. Re:Shareware on Data Storing Bacteria Could Last Millennia · · Score: 2, Funny

    New distros are released every flu season.

    That would explain AOL CDs.

  6. Re:Prescient SF FTW on Carbon Nanotube-Based NVRAM In 2-3 Years? · · Score: 1

    Because I browse at +3.

  7. Re:Weird, but genius on Everybody Votes on the Wii · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't you need to be biased if you placed a vote?

  8. Re:COMMENT PROTECTED on Music Execs Think DRM Slows the Marketplace · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Windows detected that it has detected that you clicked an accept button in a submit dialog box!

    Is this awesome (Y/N)?

  9. Re:Prescient SF FTW on Carbon Nanotube-Based NVRAM In 2-3 Years? · · Score: 1

    Let me correct you here: Sounds vaguely similar to the nano-scale rod-logic of K. Eric Drexler's Nanosystems.

    Credit's due where credit's due, after all.

  10. Hur, hur on US Group Wants Canada Blacklisted Over Piracy · · Score: 1

    I could understand that music and software companies would be upset, but movie producers? They're filming how many percent of their movies in Vancouver nowadays? I guess we need to tighten the, err, bacon around the waists a bit, eh?

  11. Re:Editorial board... on Is Wikipedia Failing? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Not if you go to the library...
    Libraries are financed through taxes, or tuition, and donations.
  12. Re:Double dipping bastards on Canadian Copyright Group Wants iPod Tax · · Score: 1

    The attempt at double-dipping is truly mind boggling; it's depressing that no one in power cares.

    <wouldyoubelieveit>Guess how they got the power in the first place...</wouldyoubelieveit>
  13. Re:Hard disk prices on Canadian Copyright Group Wants iPod Tax · · Score: 1

    Geez, time to buy a couple dozen of those 500GB Seagate hard-drives for $200 a pop at Best Buy :P

  14. "until a fix is created" on VPN Issues With New Airport Extreme 802.11n · · Score: 2, Funny

    Intelligently I hope!

  15. Re:Erlang on An Overview of Parallelism · · Score: 1

    languages in which the syntax design is regarded as a user-interface problem
    Lisp then is the ultimate user-interface problem :P
  16. Re:Ok but that brings me back to the 2nd question on $25M Bounty Offered for Global Warming Fix · · Score: 4, Funny

    someone would find a way to do it quickly, safely, and cheaply
    Hey, that's easy. Just dump it into the ocean. That'll give the marine biologists a couple of new monster species, too. Where is my government tax break and research grant?

  17. Re:easy solution on Canadian Government Rejects Net Neutrality Rules · · Score: 1

    Ah yes. "Truth in Advertising." Not. Don't expect any company to lobby for that kind of bill. Remember, if something can be accomplished cheaper by smearing congressmen or "donating to a good cause," then that's gonna happen. And no, I'm not being sarcastic or joking.

  18. Re:Nothing new on Upside Down Phone Patent · · Score: 1

    Or maybe people took it as an electric shaver. I doubt it was water-proof. :P

  19. Re:I'll do it... on Vista DRM Cracked by Security Researcher · · Score: 1

    It's the government. What else do you expect?

  20. 'course! on Intel, IBM Announce Chip Breakthrough · · Score: 1

    I use vim, you insensitive clod!:wq

  22. Re:Which words? on Scientists Unveil Most Dense Memory Circuit Ever Made · · Score: 3, Funny
    n bits to a word. Then I thought "wait a minute, which architecture?".

    Since they're red blood cells, which are essential to life, to the universe, and everything, I would say it's going to 42 bits to a word. :P
  23. Troll article on Microsoft PR Paying to "Correct" Wikipedia · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    legal@microsoft.com? Are you shitting me? CmdrTaco should seriously think about adding article modding to slashcode.

  24. Re:"renders those links invisible to search engine on Wikipedia Adds No Follow to Links · · Score: 1

    Thanks. You explained the 'ugly' part of the solution. I did not think of that. What would you say does 'significantly different content' mean in this context? Should a search engine penalize web sites that strip out links (and only that)?

  25. And for those who liked the Diamond Age on Walking Molecule Now Carries Packages · · Score: 1
    the following should be of interest to you:
    SCI FI Channel unveiled a new slate of programs in development, which includes shows from executive producers George Clooney, Darren Star and Mark Burnett. SCI FI made the announcement Jan. 12 at the Television Critics Association's winter press tour in Pasadena, Calif.

    Diamond Age, based on Neal Stephenson's best-selling novel The Diamond Age: Or a Young Lady's Illustrated Primer, is a six-hour miniseries from Clooney and fellow executive producer Grant Heslov of Smokehouse Productions.
