  1. Don't worry on Keyboards Are Disgusting · · Score: 1

    Don't worry fellow geeksters, by now we have already developed antibodies for those. Soon, pharmaceutical companies will harvest our sweat as a viable alternative to penicillin.

  2. Re:Oh, what a... on Security Vendor McAfee to Pay $50 Million Fine · · Score: 2, Funny

    This reminds me of one time I went to this small IT shop, where most of their workstations have Nortons whose expiration date is Jan. 1, 3067. :)

  3. Names names names on What Makes a Good Web Font · · Score: 1

    What's with these ajax-css-html gurus putting their names into mundane techniques as if they're godsend? They didn't name it the Watson-Crick Double Helix(tm).

  4. Nice on Novell Missteps Not Affecting SuSE · · Score: 4, Funny

    Good to see that there is someone there to feed that chameleon.

  5. Re:Excusee-my-SuSE on A Closer Look at SUSE 10 · · Score: 1

    I actually got rid of Windows on my laptop too. Well, not exactly true since I need it for work (ASP.NET stuff), so I have it running inside VMWare. Now, I'm secretly learning Ruby on Rails at the office :) I'm more likely to build from source and set my own PREFIXes, but there are some convenience services that I easily set up from the Yast2 (e.g samba, firewall, etc.). The only thing I want to see is to have a very minimal Gnome install without some of the bloat.

  6. Re:Oldie but goodie... on Your Favorite Math/Logic Riddles? · · Score: 1

    A canner can can as many cans as he can, but that is if he can can cans.

  7. Trying to remember that game... on Games Teaching the Basics of Programming · · Score: 1

    I'm trying to remember a game where it teaches some programming concepts. The setting is basically you land in a planet, program a droid to look for supplies, assemble new components, and make more droids. It has a nice in-game C style interface that lets you program the bots' behaviour and set up some complex action macros. It was probably released in '99 or '00.

  8. Re:Carmack does graphics, no physics on Carmack's QuakeCon Keynote Detailed · · Score: 1

    I think he also needs to work on his lighting skills. (Talking about Doom 3).

  9. Waiting... on Moody Non-Photo-Realistic Driving · · Score: 4, Funny

    So when will the hot coffee mod come out?

  10. Re:Nothing to see here on Stair-climbing Robot Built From R/C Car Parts · · Score: 1

    Agree. And what's with the plastic-to-concrete grinding noise when the bot was climbing up?

  11. Re:Marklar is real. From MacCentral...... on Apple Switching to Intel · · Score: 1

    Jobs demonstrated a version of Mac OS X running on a 3.6GHz Pentium 4-processor equipped system, running a build of Mac OS X v10.4.1. He showed Dashboard widgets, Spotlight, iCal, Apple's Mail, Safari and iPhoto all working on the Intel-based system.

    Is this for real? I wonder what's Apple's leakability factor.

  12. Re:Marketing ploy on Intel Head Recommends Apple · · Score: 1

    I saw the Blue Man Group last night and each one has an iPod.

  13. Re:Wow! on Al Gore to Receive Internet Achievement Award · · Score: 1

    He was a pioneer in creating the first internet. That certainly gave way to the creation of more internets like the aol that we enjoy right now.

  14. Re:MOD PARENT FUNNY! on What The Dormouse Said · · Score: 1

    Cue in the bass line and rainbow kaleidoscope.

  15. Re:Yawn on 3XS Isotope - 11 Sided Gamer's Computer · · Score: 1

    That sounds very kinky.

  16. Re:Ok, I give up on Satellite Easter Eggs · · Score: 1

    I can clearly see him right here. Lower left off center.

  17. Re:Nothing New on Satellite Easter Eggs · · Score: 1

    Enemy of the State

  18. critical mass eh? on MP3 Market Approaching Critical Mass · · Score: 5, Funny

    When will the quality of music reach tolerable mass?

  19. Cold Atoms on New Mac System Specs · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Yes, but can it make frozen light?

  20. Law? on Gordon Moore: Moore's Law is Dead · · Score: 1

    I don't understand the real significance of this law. First, it's only a prediction whose series outcome would eventually come to an end. Second, it depends on so many external factors, and there's no real measure of it's true at a certain point in time.

  21. Scroll Lock on Keyboards are Havens for Super Bugs · · Score: 3, Funny

    These superbugs are hiding under the scroll lock key. These bugs are smart and they know where to party. Although some are not smart enough that in some notebooks, the Insert key and the Scroll lock is the same. They also call Space bar the hell hole.

  22. Re:Triumph on Star Wars Fans in Line... at the Wrong Theater · · Score: 1

    I like the part when Vader and the stormtrooper started dancing after the Star Wars wedding and you faintly hear "Oh my God!" coming from an audience member. I think Dragon Master still has a chance since he's young (also Mr. Jedi standing up to the challenge). Mr. Darth Vader voice and Col. Sanders/storm trooper, now that's something else.

  23. Re:Does O'Reilly consider "penis" a profanity? on Spam Kings · · Score: 1

    That is unless Oprah writes it.

  24. wtf on Google Adds Satellite Imagery to Maps · · Score: 1

    wtf? that's me right there!

  25. Naked Linux on Paris Hilton Recruited to Publicize Linux · · Score: 2, Funny

    In other news, a new distro will come out with barebones functionality, and it's gonna suck.
