  1. Re:late again on Apple Embeds Message to OS X Hackers · · Score: 2, Funny
    ...not wanting to splash your username on the front page...

    Oh man, you could not have chosen a better verb!

  2. Thriving local economy on Interview with a Botmaster · · Score: 1
    The nearest businesses [include] a strip club, where 0x80 says he recently dropped $800 for an hour alone in a VIP room with several dancers.

    I hope at that rate the club had damn good wireless Internet access!

  3. Re:Anonymity? on Interview with a Botmaster · · Score: 2, Funny

    Now why did that remind me of (from SNPP's capsule for 2F06):

    Jones. Tonight on "Rock Bottom", we go undercover at a sex farm for sex hookers.
    Farmer. I keep telling you, I just grow sorghum here.
    Man. Uh huh. And where are the hookers?
    Farmer. 'round back.
    Oops.

    "I mean, most of these people I infect are so stupid they really ain't got no business being on [the Internet] in the first place."

    And right he is!

    Is this in the same way as someone who is mugged "really ain't got no business" being out in public "in the first place"?

  5. Re:Special sleep states on Core Duo Power Sapping Bug is Microsoft Issue · · Score: 1

    It would help if hardware vendors tested their ACPI BIOSes to check that they work with more than the weird Microsoft interpreter, and played nice with proper implementations such as those in Linux and FreeBSD as well. This is predominantly why the PM features of Windows 2000 et seq. work so well "out of the box".

  6. Re:Perish the thought... on Core Duo Power Sapping Bug is Microsoft Issue · · Score: 2, Funny
    we can ask Redmond to bring back the Teletubbie Hill with Vista
    Even the Teletubbies were smart enough to know UNIX was the only solution for the Superdome.
  7. Re:Enjoy? on RIAA: Ripping CDs to iPod not 'Fair Use' · · Score: 1
    That really depends on which end of it you are on.
    Screwing, in the active sense, as opposed to being screwed, which is indeed a dubious pleasure.
  8. Re:Enjoy? on RIAA: Ripping CDs to iPod not 'Fair Use' · · Score: 4, Funny
    Since when did enjoy == screw the customer for every last dime?
    Silly! Screwing is an inherently enjoyable activity!
  9. Re:Quick question.. on UK Government Wants a Backdoor Into Windows · · Score: 1
    What's British for "Magic Lantern?"
    "Graham Norton".
  10. A set of cardboard boxes on What Was Your First Computer? · · Score: 1

    with keyboard, disk drive and VDU drawn on with felt-tipped pens.

  11. The Illuminati on The Secret Cause of Flame Wars · · Score: 5, Funny

    Since the end of World War 2, a clandestine, shadowy organisation known colloquially as "The Illuminati" has been secretly instigating and orchestrating all major flamewars. Conflicts such as the Tannenbaum Crisis, and the ongoing battles at comp.os.ms-windows.advocacy were all sparked by this bunch as part of their twisted plan to control the world packet flow through decreasing the SNR on the Internet, and when it finally collapses, replace it with their evil commie New World Protocol. Fight the evil!

    You know who they are.

    They know who they are.

    Don't you people ever read Indymedia? It's all in there!

  12. Re:Total Annihilation on Intel Looks Beyond the Microchip · · Score: 1
    And thus began the four thousand years long war of Core vs. ARM...

    No, XScale is targeted at a completely different market.

  13. Re:404 - Page not found on Saying 'No' to an Executable Internet · · Score: 1

    Damn shame, too. If something's really that bad, it's got to be worth a look. The whole F blog's been taken down along with it.

  14. The French were there first. on A Real Transformer? · · Score: 5, Funny

    Didn't Citroen already build one of these?

  15. Re:Don't give Sony-BMG ideas! on Mind Control Parasites in Half of All Humans · · Score: 1
    I don't know. A bio-rootkit sounds pretty interesting to me. Eh? Eh?

    Argh! They got to you, too!

  16. Don't give Sony-BMG ideas! on Mind Control Parasites in Half of All Humans · · Score: 5, Funny

    The term "bio-rootkit" is not one I wish to see in common usage!

  17. Re:Great timing on Microsoft to Release 7 Patches Next Week · · Score: 1

    Shouldn't you be, like, mending fridges or something?

  18. Re:Cartoons on Danish, Western Websites Under Attack · · Score: 1

    Problem: 100,000+ Kurds, 130,000+ Shi'ites, countless others.
    Solution: Nerve gas, tanks, RPGs, torure, rape, and God knows what else.

    Conclusion: Overkill?^W Psychotic murderer who really should've been deposed?

    It's Middle-Age mentalities with Cold War-era weaponry.

  19. Re:Audio clips on Network-Monitoring Data Put to Music · · Score: 1

    It sounds like the kind of "muzak" they play in DIY stores.

    Pah, I'm going to back to Art Of Noise.

  20. Re:Gives a whole new meaning to the phrase on Children Help Their Mothers for Decades · · Score: 1

    "Windows XP Cervix Pack 2". Now that is one CD I don't see Microsoft distributing for free from their web-site.

  21. Gives a whole new meaning to the phrase on Children Help Their Mothers for Decades · · Score: 4, Funny

    "Service Pack".

  22. Re:Maturity or additional Memories on When Does Maturity Set In? · · Score: 1

    For instance, embedding the location of the pub and distance to the nearest kebab shop are key.

    Students who cannot manage this feat rarely last a week, you see them cold hungry and sober in lectures wishing they were back at home.

    And those who can manage it are seen pasty, sickly and smelly in lectures, wishing they were back at the pub.

    Dirty, noisy undergrads.

  23. Electromagnetic tolerance on Creative use for empty whiskey bottles · · Score: 1

    The metal case of a desktop computer and the internal metal panels of notebooks are designed to protect the internal components from RF interference and keep electrostatic charges on the outside, where they can be safely dissipated. I see no such protection for this mod — does anyone have any idea (I mean a proper one) just how vulnerable this machine is in a glass case?

  24. Re:But Russia has good hackers... on Computer Virus Fells Russian Stock Exchange · · Score: 1

    I believe it's known as "poetic justice".

  25. Exhausted on MIT Fashion Show Online · · Score: 1

    I had to make a double-take on Exhausted.

    For a minute there I didn't know what I was seeing. Oddly... um... phallic. It's not the sort of thing one could wear with a straight face. In fact, I don't think what one does with it constitutes "wearing".
