  1. The amount of attention they are generating on Students, ISP Sue Diebold · · Score: 0


    It's funny really, I would think Diebold would want to keep this a little lower profile, rather than involving all of these people who are obviously going to make a stink about this.

  2. Marketing potential.... on Simpsons Fan Creates Real Tomacco Plant · · Score: 0

    Could appeal to those who are quitting smoking but are also concerned about they weight they will gain because of it.

    Like the grapefruit diet, they could eat a salad with these tomatoes, when they get a craving.

    (The grapefruit diet also recomends high quantities of caffeine drinks like coffee, which also goes well with cigarettes.)

  3. Re:Easy... on DARPA's Autonomous Vehicle Challenge Too Popular? · · Score: 1


    I agree. Why is this such a big deal?

    Maybe their "big thinkers" are busy planning more wacky ideas like the terrorism stock market website, leaving little time to solve these other complex logistical problems.

  4. What's even more irritating on FCC Proposes Fining AT&T Over DNC Violation · · Score: 0


    Is when I already am a customer and they keep calling me. I obviously know who they are, since I'm using their service and paying them monthly.

    They already advertise by sendming me a bunch of joke with my bill.

    Why must they call me as well?

    Both my cable company (comcast) and my phone company (cingular) continue to do this.

  5. I for one.... on Microsoft Adding Blogs to Longhorn? · · Score: -1


    I for one welcome our new Bug Ridden Overlords.

  6. This is a lie, Bush has been setting things up on Deconstructing the Patriot Act PR Campaign · · Score: 0, Flamebait


    He's already done a bunch of other stuff like sell out the identity of US agents... which is paramount to an act of terrorism.

    He's also lied and [not very] secretly arranged things for his buddies to profit from current atrocities.

    He's even lied about who hung a damn banner on a ship proclaiming "mission accomplished".

    I think he's one of the worst possible people you'd want there. It's not even that he's evil, he's just a dumb child and hangs out with the bad seeds who tell him what to do.

  7. Re:Any effects on humans at all? on Yet Another Big Solar Flare · · Score: 1


    This is what's been causing all those wild fires in Los Angeles.

  8. Re:Low Abusability on Large Scale Collaborative Editing · · Score: 3, Funny


    The irony of having to scroll through so much tripe before reaching this post should not be lost on anyone....

  9. Re:Great Idea. on More on Talking Shopping Carts · · Score: 2, Funny


    Meanwhile, without you realising, everyone in the aisle is being told by your cart that your preferred pr0n mag is on sale and that it's been roughly one month since you've last purchased tissues...

  10. Re:Mute on More on Talking Shopping Carts · · Score: 1


    And the 1 percent discount will also prevent people from not swiping their "loyalty" card altogether so that any idiot listening in will hear the data being transmitted to the cart computer. What kind of sys admins do you think they will employ to keep security on the up and up?

  11. A fix to all this on FTC Issues Report Critical Of Patent Policy · · Score: 1


    The solution might be to patent a government organization which issues patents, then implement it.

  12. Re:Favorite Quote on Catching Up With The Rocket Guy · · Score: 1


    Or if his father's read:
    "My kid's toy rocket beat up your kid's toy rocket..."

    Until a NASA guy's dad pulls up behind him.

  13. Re:Can Elton John take any legal action? on Catching Up With The Rocket Guy · · Score: 1


    Yeah... and I suppose it's "rocket man" not "rocket guy".

    It's like Radiation Dude. Whereas Radioactive Man's catch phrase is "up and atom" in a delicious pun, Radiation Dude's is just "up and let's go."

  14. Can Elton John take any legal action? on Catching Up With The Rocket Guy · · Score: 5, Funny


    I thought *he* was the rocket man?

  15. Re:Small form factor, phhhht! Give me rack-mount! on Massive Small Form Factor Preview From Computex · · Score: 1

    I'm not sure what the attraction is for "small
    form factor."
    To me, bigger is better, and even better if rack-mount. I want room for fans (the more the better), and plenty of air-flow.


    How do you feel about blade servers?

  16. Re:SCO is the chemical symbol on SCO Madness Reigns Supreme · · Score: 1


    For an agent known to cause massive headaches.

  17. Re:Written a program to break this record... on Info Glut - Five Exabytes of Data Created in 2002 · · Score: 1


    The counter will be available in RecordBreaker XP, which will allow me to call malloc() more times than I call free(). I suspect this will significantly improve the performance, since I will be generating much more information.

  18. Written a program to break this record... on Info Glut - Five Exabytes of Data Created in 2002 · · Score: 1


    It repeatedly calls malloc() and free(), storing information in RAM, which may create an interesting problem for historians and archaeologists of the future.

  19. Re:redundancy on Who Needs Radio? · · Score: 1


    We apologize if your musical tastes don't land you in a demographic which radio advertisers care to cater too. But there's no need to be so bitter about it.

  20. Re:What? on Who Needs Radio? · · Score: 3, Funny


    But the convenience of placing a Windows XP capable computer in your glove box will bring you out of the dark ages caveman.

  21. Re:But that's the government's JOB! on Send in the Nasal Rangers · · Score: 1


    If that's the case, why not just pay them 45k a year, or whatever a politician's nepetism gets you there, and tell them to go out and not farm something. At least then you don't have to pay for training, equipment, all the additional overhead.

  22. Re:And I thought my job stinks. on Send in the Nasal Rangers · · Score: 1


    If they're going to bother hiring people who will sniff pig waste, why not just hire the VB programmers as another reader suggested, to automate the chemical testing process...?

  23. Re:This is ridiculous on Send in the Nasal Rangers · · Score: 2, Funny

    ...And that man's name was Colonel Sanders.

  24. Re:And I thought my job stinks. on Send in the Nasal Rangers · · Score: 1


    Becuase then they might not miss chemicals which have no detectable scent?

  25. Re:Smelloscope on Send in the Nasal Rangers · · Score: 1


    For all the chili cook-off jokes:
