  10. Re:Um, she can't be THIS clueless... on iPhone Rumour Round-up · · Score: 1

    Maybe she ripped the songs on a PC to WMA and then transferred them to her Mac? Fuck if I know. IT reporting is pretty exasperating.

  11. Re:Make people think to figure out your e-mail on Best Method For Foiling Email Harvesters? · · Score: 1

    So you don't contact any company at all? If you call them, they can sell your phone number. If you email them or fill out a form, they can sell the email address. If you snail mail, well there's always good old fashioned junk mail.

  12. Saddam Virus back in the early nineties on Worst Security Clean-Up You've Performed? · · Score: 1

  15. Re:Illegal? on Battlefield 2142 to Bundle Spyware? · · Score: 1

    You know upon reading that I immediately imagined a bunch of guys setting up a forum to exchange tips on how to get the highest score. What the fuck.

  16. Re:Array origin fun on OSX To Feature Portable User Accounts? · · Score: 1

    what the hell, this is the second time someone has introduced arrays into this joke. It's not about arrays at all! Gutnor is correct, and goldmeer & dolphinling are wrong. End of story.

    I think you missed the ending.

  18. Re:Huh? on IE Used To Launch Yahoo IM Clickfraud · · Score: 1

  22. Re:My Mac Sucks on Noise Over Mac OS Market Share "Slip" · · Score: 3, Informative

    Wikipedia sez: "The My freelance gig in front of a Mac trolls appear in virtually every discussion about Apple Computer. The troll claims to have witnessed <the latest Apple hardware> taking 20 minutes to copy a 17 MB file from one folder to another and proceeds to question all Apple users as to their platform choice. It is a straight forward copy-and-paste from a weblog entry by Jason Kottke. It has also led to some very inspired and amusing parodies."

  23. Re:Greedy Children on New Tolkien Story To be Published · · Score: 1
    "I personally think a dead author's notes and partial works should be buried with him"

    Kafka's Der Prozess was published post-humously, after being finished (it was almost done) by his friend Max Brod who refused to burn the manuscript as Kafka had wanted. Make of that what you will :)

  24. Re:Well! I stand corrected. on New Tolkien Story To be Published · · Score: 1

    Tolkien isn't bad enough to compare him to Herbert. Sheesh.
