    It takes all the fun out of a friendly-fire incident if your sergeant can just respawn.

  3. New twist on an old idea. on LaserMonks Offer Prayer, Printer Cartridges · · Score: 4, Insightful
    Monks used inks to copy and illuminate manuscripts throughout the middle ages.

    Now they are selling us the ink to copy and illuminate whatever manuscripts we want.

    Since I'm pretty sure those ancient monks never had permission to copy any of the works they did, does that make them the original data pirates?

    So it's pretty much what geeks do at home, sans campfire and threat of animal attacks?

    So how many shares of SCO do you own?

  6. More Kool-Aid, Darl? on Did SCO Actually Buy What it Thought? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I just can't help but picture Darl, locked in his office, giggling his ass off while watching the stock ticker on SCO go up everytime he released some FUD.

  18. 8x10 Gigapixel Digital View Camera? on Breaking the Gigapixel Barrier · · Score: 4, Funny
    The 196 frames in that composite are pretty close to the the actual size of the CMOS sensor in the "35mm" digital cameras. If you had a big wad of cash burning a hole in your tailored pants, you could mount those sensors onto the backplane of an 8x10 view camera.

    I don't think even a Carl Zeiss lens can actually resolve a billion pixels, but it's worth a shot. Isn't it?

  19. Please, oh please... on Peter Jackson Hints At The Hobbit · · Score: 4, Funny

    Do not let that guy with the prehensile uvula mangle the song The Road Goes Ever On like he did in the Rankin/Bass cartoon.

    If you could go back in time with the knowledge you have to day, and live the dot-com years for a second time.
