  1. Summary! on Standard Brewing For PC Card Replacement 'Newcard' · · Score: 5, Funny

    In new computers, things will be smaller and faster.

    Thanks!

  2. Re:With all these demon problems... on HP To Sell PCs With Mandrake 9.1 · · Score: 1

    Crap! If I was smarter I would've linked that to start with... good thinking.

  3. Re:With all these demon problems... on HP To Sell PCs With Mandrake 9.1 · · Score: 2, Funny

    Ummm I think the dying variety of BSD is run by demons... Linux must be run by penguins.

    Also IBM=Inverted Bowel Movement.

    Thanks!

  4. Re:Grass on Genetically Engineered Pets Hit the Market · · Score: 2, Funny

    Also, some bushes (and houseplants) that don't die when you pee on them would be nice. Thanks!

  5. I know! on Genetically Engineered Pets Hit the Market · · Score: 1, Funny

    Put them in clear glass balls and sell them as Christmas ornaments! They'll be all the rage.

  6. Re:Another 3dfx, etc, etc. on iBox Episode 2 · · Score: 1

    Obviously, letting anyone build the hardware and just licensing the operating system could never be very profitable... what a stupid idea :)

  7. Re:Good on Wireless LAN Equipment Shipments Up · · Score: 1

    Isn't wireless sort of bad for the first person shooter type games? I was always under the impression that it added some latency... probably not enough for us campers to notice, but enough to make my younger brother swear and complain.

  8. Re:With the obvious question, being why. on AMD's Next Generation Processor Technology · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Because: New hardware sells new computers. Johnny luser only knows that he needs more megs and gigs. If you say "exploiting the technology that we have", he will start to drool and stutter.

  9. I like this.. on AMD's Next Generation Processor Technology · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Hearing about Intel getting smacked around is only slightly less satisfying than hearing about Microsoft getting smacked around.

    In all seriousness, It's great that AMD keeps pushing thier technology. If we had the same OS competetion that we have in CPU technology, well... Our OS would be a lot better.

  10. Shell Scripts on The Little Coder's Predicament · · Score: 2, Informative

    If I was going to start my kids into programming I think I'd start with some easy shell scripts. Seems like you can do almost everything that BASIC did with bash, ksh, etc...

    If they can get past doing some basic stuff like that you can move them up to a more complex and capable platform.

  11. Re:Full version XP for $93, Pro for $143-NOT Legit on Will Microsoft Subsidize WinXP For Lindows Buyers? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Methinks a cable is not a peripheral... The agreement needs tweaking.

  12. Re:Great Series - NOT on "V" Sequel Coming to NBC · · Score: 1

    Interestingly enough, and completely offtopic, the second Star Trek movie was Moby Dick.

    I'm sure many of you knew that and will now flame me.

  13. Logic Alert! on More on Oregon and GPS-tracked Gas Taxes · · Score: 1

    Parent post has violated the logic filter! Please take your life immediately.

    Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

  14. Re:whoaa..like, I got an early post..it smells goo on New Insights into Synesthesia · · Score: 1

    Actually, maybe everyone could have perfect pitch recognizion based on colors... wow I'd be a way better musician, not to mention if my bass amp made my balls itch or something.

  15. First Mitch Hedberg Post on New Insights into Synesthesia · · Score: 0, Funny

    I see music.

  16. Re:GUI not merely text apps on Mac OS X 'Panther': User at the Center · · Score: 1

    Because of the way X handles the network, GUI applications really aren't limited to a single Desktop like some other OSs... I will admit though that anyone with a little skill would be able to get the same functionality from the Mac OS.

    But your argument is not "GUI", it's "Desktop", and that isn't a new feature either.

  17. Re:Fast User Switching? on Mac OS X 'Panther': User at the Center · · Score: 1

    My point exactly... apparently sarcasm is not widely recognized here.

  18. Fast User Switching? on Mac OS X 'Panther': User at the Center · · Score: 1, Troll

    What a concept! More than one person logged on to a machine at the same time, running apps in thier own space... Amazing! What will they think of next?

  19. Bonfire of the Vanities on What's Your Favorite Underappreciated Movie? · · Score: 1

    I liked it.

  20. Re:Paper versus Plastic? on Swedes Say Recycling Wastes Time And Money · · Score: 1

    Your logic is lovely... And 100% correct. The problem is more that very few people (Americans) think that way. If you set the same amount of product side by side, one packaged in bulk and one individually wrapped with funny cartoon characters or, heaven forbid, something that makes people think about sex - What happens?

    People buy the individually wrapped ones, that's what happens. At at a higher price, no less. Why would any company that produces x ignore this data? They won't! Why? Because we are capitalists.

    Therefore communism is the answer! Thank you, Thank you, I'll be here all week.

    Seriously, it doesn't help that in our society the only thing that motivates anyone to be environmentally friendly is the rather abstract idea that we are ruining it, and the vague morals that accompany this condition.

  22. You Agreed to this.. on Ebay's Flexible Privacy Policy · · Score: 3, Informative

    If you are selling on ebay. Read the agreement.

    Thanks for your attention.
