    So how long until some student at MIT figures out how to refrigerate the cone and use it for delivering beer without getting off the couch? And where can I buy one?

    I wish I thought of that... I wasted all my time learning.

  8. hey on Schools to Avoid: University of Florida · · Score: 1

    If they block P2P sharing, how else am I going to be able to download hot young co-eds in shower.mpg? Someone is out there with a web cam living the life us guys wish for, it's his right, no DUTY to share with those less fortunate than himself.

    There will probably be a $1 transaction fee for all withdrawls that will be deposited into Bill's personal account.

    I wonder if they will change the blue screens to green?

  11. Re:Uh on HP Introduces Transmeta Thin Clients · · Score: 2, Informative

    It's also the hardware, and the management that makes it slim. If a company buys 500 thin clients, they can manage the hardware from a single workstation. There are less parts to 'go wrong' with a thin client, plus less power consumption. I used to work at a place that used them, it took 3 minutes to go from nothing on someone's desk, to a thin client setup and connected to the Terminal Server. Of course, we bought $300 thin clients, which made it all the better.

  12. Re:Uh on HP Introduces Transmeta Thin Clients · · Score: 5, Insightful

    For a thin client 733 MHz is almost over powered. Remember, all it has to do is run Win CE or embeded Linux. The keyword being thin which means the server does the processing.

  13. alt transportation on Hybrid/Electric Vehicles: Should I Buy? · · Score: 1

    Have you considered riding beams of light? They require no fossil fuels and are abundant during the day time. They have great acceleration and a top end light nothing you've ever drove. Night riding can be tricky though. It's a pretty smooth ride, you get to your destination so quickly it almost eliminates driving fatigue. Not to mention you will never run into traffic jams.

  14. ID theft on Cringely on Identity Theft · · Score: 1

    Could you email me how you stole 300,000 identities? Send it to cowboyneal, I'm using his identity today :)

  15. Re:Moral compass? on Mandrake Linux 9.2, Adware Version · · Score: 5, Funny

    Or worse... Microsoft, where do you want to go today?

    Or, I'm sure SCO has 7 large... Have you paid SCO $699 to run this?

  16. IE on Microsoft-Antitrust.gov Opens for Public · · Score: 1

    What ever happened to them not integrating Internet Explorer into windows? I think there was 1 version of Windows 98SE that you could remove it from, but after that it was back in.

  17. real number of attacks on Linux Most Attacked Server? · · Score: 1

    Do you suppose that if 1 DOS attack was made on a website running a cluster of 1000 linux servers, they counted that as 1000 attacks?

  18. crashing on Chic Gear to Suit Net Generation · · Score: 1

    What if the (non-linux brand of cloths) crashes while you're wearing it? Will the ctrl-alt-del become a dance move at popular night clubs? Or even worse... the cpu in my 'embeded' underwear over heats and burns my junk? Or my socks become fragmented?

    How's the WNU football team look this year?

  21. choices on Phoenix Bios to Incorporate DRM · · Score: 1

    One thing that makes this country great, is the freedom to choose. Even if all the OEMs decide it's a good thing, we can still buy off the shelf motherboards and build the PCs ourselves like we did in the good ole days. Also, there is always LinuxBIOS (Google cache). I'm sure they'd kick it into high gear and come up with viable solutions.

  22. brochure on Semiconductor Employees Suing IBM · · Score: 0

    I'll bet that's something that doesn't make their brochure... Hmm, yes I see you have good health insurance, excellant 401K, and oh premature death, I'm in!
