  3. 21 Pages?!?!?! on February 2008 Hardware Roundup · · Score: 4, Funny

    Wow! 21 pages with 50% ads. Now I remember why I stopped reading Tom's Hardware years ago.

  4. Enlarge it after shrinking? on Tiny Flyer Navigates Like Fly · · Score: 2, Funny

    Unshrink you?! Well that would require some sort of a REbigulator, which is a concept so ridiculous it makes me want to laugh out loud and chortle.. but not at you O holiest of gods with the wrathfulness and the vengence and the bloodrain and the "hey hey hey it hurts me"

    Next time someone gets carjacked, lets sue Toyota.. after all, they should have mounted machine guns to take care of any intruders.
    ,
    Or at least some freakin' lasers.

  7. When is he planning on graduating??? on Napster To Be Acquired by Google? · · Score: 5, Funny

    Napster, founded by college student Shawn Fanning...

    He must be having trouble chossing a major. I suggest something involving computers.

  8. The great red planet??? on China Overtakes US as Supplier of IT Goods · · Score: 5, Insightful

    When I was growing up in the 80's, there was a big anti-communist thing going on (Most notibly, the great war epic Red Dawn). There was also a big "buy American" movement due to a strong Japanese economy. Now we have a communist economic powerhouse and noone seems to be raising a stink. Why is that? My only thought on this is that with China, US executives are still making money. The Japanese kept everything from manufacturing to management in-house. China just does the manufacturing and leaves the US management to their big salaries. I think you will only see the "Made in China" issue come to the forefront when they start managing everything, thereby screwing the US upper management.

  9. Re:No Open Source Book? on Just Say No to Microsoft · · Score: 1

    You can get it cheaper on Amazon, or most places for that matter. And I prefer paper books over E-books as well. You pay a little more for the convenience and ease of use of a paper edition. I prefer to pay extra for a PC with Windows and Office for my parents because it's easier and more convenient. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to point that out.

  10. No Open Source Book? on Just Say No to Microsoft · · Score: 1

    How does one touting the greatness of Open Source software justify charging $24.95(List) for a book on doing it?

  11. Re:Anyone know...? on Sony Profits Low, Halts CRT Production · · Score: 1

    That's funny. When I bought my CRT TV while living in Tokyo 1.5 years ago there were quite a few choices.

  12. Avion flu? on ISS Orbit-Raising Attempt Fails · · Score: 5, Funny

    A chicken ran by me today yelling, "The sky is falling!!!" I thought he was just delirious from the flu.

  13. Re:Yet again... on Fedora Core 4 Available · · Score: 3, Funny

    Have the editors not learned from all the times they've done this and screwed up in the past?

    You're ID 202812 yet you speak like it's your first time here :-)

  14. Where do you get your prices??? on PC Prices Reach $300 Milestone · · Score: 5, Informative

    'Ten or so years ago, when PCs cost five or even 10 times what they do now,

    I got a fully loaded (ie Windows and such) for ~$300 about eight years ago. It was (and still is..runs like a champ) an Emachines which I would call a major brand. These prices have been around for a while.

  15. Simpsons Movie??? on Simpsons Film in Preproduction · · Score: 5, Funny

    That's unpossible!!!

  16. Re:I think this calls for a googlegasm on Google Takes Top Spot From Time Warner · · Score: 2

    No definitions were found for googlegasm.

    Suggestions: - Make sure all words are spelled correctly.
    - Search the Web for documents that contain "
    googlegasm"


    I don't think that's correct. Google doesn't turn up any definitions for it.

  17. Over-confident on Cisco Confirms Arrest In Theft Of Its Code · · Score: 5, Funny

    "As a result of recent actions, the criminal activity appears to have stopped."

  20. Not Spyware? on iDownload Tries to Silence Spyware Critics · · Score: 5, Funny

    from TFA, Not only can't the products be called "Spyware", they can't be called "Foistware" or "Malware" either.

    I deem thee, "Assware"

  21. Re:Lets face it on US ISP Terminates Iranian News Website · · Score: 1

    I love it when people say stuff like this. The US government/corporations have been doing the same shit for years. The only difference is now with the instant communications and constant media reporting every little thing gets noticed. I suppose more scrutiny is a good thing but for people to comment that things are changing is naive.

  22. Re:because on Take Two Lands Exclusive MLB Deal · · Score: 1

    Does baseball even have cheerleaders? (sorry I know nothing about american sports, so feel free to mod me down!) They have baseball cheerleaders in Japan. Another example of Japanese improvment of an American idea :-)

  24. Hot cans of coffee in vending machines? on Coming Soon: Self-Heating Coffee · · Score: 1

    When will they have these in The States? I miss the Japanese coffee vending machines. They sell coffee in cans just like those Starbucks double-shot cans except they're hot and there's like 30 different choices.

  25. Re:GCHQ on Secret Agents Hold Code-Breaking Contest · · Score: 1

    Where did you read this? What publicity value does blowing up GCHQ hold as opposed to say, Big Ben? How many uneducated terrorists even know this place exists?

    I recently read somethere that my wang is the most desirable target for the ladies. Doesn't mean it's true though :)
