    His head was cremated with the rest of the body. It was not frozen.

  2. Re:Problem on RadioShack To Rebrand As "The Shack"? · · Score: 1

    But will it belong to us?

    We prefer the term Earthicans

    You should know the universal greeting as actually Bah Weep Graaagnah Wheep Ni Ni Bong

  5. Re:Keep the sticker on Amazon US Refunds Windows License Fee, Too · · Score: 1

    Actually I was talking about the top sticker, thus implying that any sufficiently large number of requested refunds will likely see an increase in the bureaucracy required to navigate. (see also: mail-in instant rebates, and those returns that require every styrofoam peanut) I would hope at a minimum they would require either a return of the serial number sticker or advise him that the number is being voided and must be destroyed; otherwise (as indicated in other comments) it could trivially be resold.

  6. Keep the sticker on Amazon US Refunds Windows License Fee, Too · · Score: 5, Insightful

    They may require you to send it back along with any manuals or repair disks.

  7. Re:A cheap simple diagnostic tool.. on Use Your Cell Phone To Diagnose Blood Diseases · · Score: 0

    But can it detect midi-clorians?

  8. Re:Umm... on A Server Farm Powered By a Wind Farm · · Score: 4, Funny

    You know I could have sworn someone was trying to sell a few hundred giant turbines here a few days back...

  9. Space Invaders on Forty Years of Lunar Lander · · Score: 3, Funny

    As a child I kept searching for the version that let you land on the planet of those evil space invaders for an epic fight to the death - spacewar and asteroids were a poor facsimile.

  10. Re:Really? What about Homer Simpson? on Futurama Voices Could Be Recast · · Score: 1

    Yes, but it was the same actor who constantly made adjustments until he found a voice that works. Personally the early Homer voice is the "real" voice for me - seems like the more it changed the stupider he got until we have today's infamous Jerkass Homer.

  11. Re:NASA on NASA Requests Help With Von Braun's Notes · · Score: 5, Funny

    Next week: What to do with this big golden box thing? We tried opening it and some guy's face melted.

  12. Re:Your choice on How Do You Deal With Pirated Programs At Work? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Good advice. I'd add that if you don't think your boss/manager would stick up for you if it ever came to that I'd say get the ok from their boss too. If everyone up the chain says "screw it, we're not paying that much for photoshop, my cousin gave me a cracked cd" just make sure that they know what you're doing and that they know that you know. And of course not to make the point to which you imply but there *are* a significant amount of free and almost-free software packages available for many uses. If they *have* to have photoshop then make sure they know what Photoshop costs and that the cost can be paid by the employee, the company, or in bad karma.

  13. Re:Star Trek is in "The Future" on Could Fuller Take Trek Back To TV? · · Score: 1

    "Fall of the Federation?" that was called "Andromeda"

  14. Re:You mean physical memory right :-) on Why Use Virtual Memory In Modern Systems? · · Score: 1

    When I read this story my knee jerk reaction was "please be gentle." And thankfully the first +5 post on this story is informative and helpful and relatively kind.

    It's a Christmas miracle!

  15. Re:Maybe it's a warp bubble... on Do We Live In a Giant Cosmic Bubble? · · Score: 1

    I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought immediately of a static warp shell... where is the traveller when you need him?

    Wtf. How did I not know about this?

  17. DON'T PANIC on HP Unveils Small Commercial Linux Laptop · · Score: 1

    I am sure they'll find some way to tie in some advertising and knock the price down.

  18. logan's run? on Privacy Fears Send DNA Tests Underground · · Score: 4, Funny

  19. Re:it will lie to you about cake on A Review of the $200 Wal-Mart Linux PC · · Score: 2, Funny

    Still sounds like a POS to me.

  20. No downloading? on Original Marvel Comics Going Online · · Score: 5, Funny

    "Comics can only be viewed in a Web browser, not downloaded" - except for the fact that they have already been downloaded. Print screen, anyone?

  21. Full support on Cell Phone Jamming on the Rise · · Score: 0, Redundant

    I am in full support of this. There are some places (such as theatres, restauirants etc) that people should not be yammering away on a cell phone. While I appreciate the fact that there are a small number of professions (doctors, police, etc) who should be available 24/7, it would be far preferable to supply an exception for them . We don;t let everyone speed through red lights just because ambulances should.
