  1. Re:Sensationalism... on International Space Station Gyroscope Fails · · Score: 1

    Yes but with NASA's current "Fun with Budgeting" activities someone will be by to check on the station sometime before the damn, dirty apes gain control of the world, and after the ISS slams into one of the oceans, hitting a vinyl target.

  2. Re:ummmm..... on LUG Pres Resigns Over Military Linux Use · · Score: 1
    No, I would rather the military use Linux than Windows, the thought of my tax dollars getting blue screened does not make me a happy camper. Notice the end of my quote from netfall, "Would you rather they use windows?" My answer to that was no.

    Anything that is used to protect our men and women in the armed forces, be it a drone taking the place of a person or whatever, needs to be on the best software avaiable for that use. If Linux works best, wonderful. If by some fluke something runs better on Windows, fine.

    I guess we need "Read The Fscking Comment" as well as RTFA now.

    You'd think the linux community would be proud that linux is so reliable that the military uses it. Would you rather they use windows?

    Well when things like Predators cost $2.5 Million USD each, hell no.

  4. Re:Too much? on Beer Bubbles Really Do Sink · · Score: 1

    Not exactly sure, I'll let you know when I sober up.

  5. Too much? on Beer Bubbles Really Do Sink · · Score: 5, Funny
    So, if you see it happen, it's not just that you've had too much to drink.

    So do bubbles going around the glass mean I'm half-way there?

  6. Look on the right side... on Lawmakers Game The System · · Score: 1

    Maybe, just maybe they could have loaded a back-up made pre-Sept. 11th/Enron/Worldcom/Iraq Reloaded/ect, but then we'd have Gigli again...

    Anyone else suddenly feel forced Realm vs Realm wouldn't be so bad?

  7. Well.. on Today's Windows Virus - MyDoom / Novarg · · Score: 1

    People might not willingly load it onto their machine, but it would be interesting to know how many people turn a blind eye when their AV detects it.

  8. Bill should worry... on Bill Gates to be Knighted · · Score: 1

    if the Brits announce they're adopting Linux before (or during) his knighting.

  9. Re:Quentin Tarantino's next movie... on Martial Arts Robots · · Score: 1

    Isn't bad enough that we have to deal with any Tarantino movies? Stop giving him ideas, sheesh.

  10. And to make matters worse... on Is There An OS On My Hard Drive? · · Score: 5, Funny

    ...their "fluoride" causes a fatal exception in h2o.dll, and causes lungs.exe to be closed.

  11. Re:I'd rather on Growth Job Sector: Freelance Technical Support · · Score: 1

    I don't know, I also live in Oklahoma and think I would rather enjoy Tech Supporting, I already take care of several of my neighbors computers, and after having one try to get online without having a modem I don't think anything would shock me again.

  12. Wait a minute... on MPAA to Launch Anti-Piracy Commercials · · Score: 1

    If the studios close, and the actors and actresses fade away, does this mean we'll get to watch great Indie movies instead of this rehashed trash?

  13. Re:intelligent? on Robot Balloon Escapes In Britain · · Score: 1

    As another comment pointed out, the battery isn't in it.

    Obviously it is not the balloon that is smart, it is the people with nets that are very, very dumb.

  14. However... on Filesharing Traffic Drops After RIAA Threats · · Score: 1

    ...everyone downloads Ogg's now.

  15. Re:it's a bad idea on Segway Banned In San Francisco · · Score: 1

    You can't blame the machine, it doesn't have auto-pilot. Instead remember that there is a person operating it, and because they're not paying a bit of attention to what they are doing they end up hurting others. This is the same from cars to wheelchairs, bicycles to just pushing a shopping cart. I'd rather someone be on one of these and hit me than behind the wheel of a vehicle.

  16. Re:Slashdot -- And I survived! on Can Independent Game Developers Survive? · · Score: 1

    The only reason the server are still up is because my contract with Zanth states that I have to use all of my mana for server buffs.

    By the way, someone please cast a clarity on me :-p
