  1. Re:But on Revenge Really Does Taste Sweet · · Score: 3, Funny
    From the served-cold-of-course department.

    Repeat joke from submission, get modded funny. Got it.

  2. Re:Unjust on Blaster Variant Creator Pleads Guilty · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Pass the crack pipe. He modified and improved the virus. He didn't disable it. He didn't just look at it. He made it better and re-released it. What a swell guy! Besides if it's no big deal, why did he please guilty? Most people who go for the deal are afraid of how hard they'll get hit if they go to trial. He knows he's getting off easy.

  3. Re:A good ruling on Jerry Falwell Wins Dispute Over Fallwell.com · · Score: 2, Funny
    It is like if I try to get slashdo.org, and put up a anti Slashdot site, I would be in violation of copyright laws.

    No, you wouldn't.

  4. Re:FUD on Public Markets For Predicting Google's Market Cap · · Score: 1

    What are you on about? Everything I've read points to big investors being cool on Google's IPO. They know that Google won't be able to sustain a price above $100 for very long so they'd rather wait until the stock price settles so they know what they're getting. Why buy now for $135 when in a week you can buy for $30? The only people going gaga over this are stupid people without any money who think this is their big chance to win the lottery.

  5. Re:Then you can't buy a one-handed keyboard for $2 on A One-Handed Keyboard For $25 · · Score: 2, Informative

    Mod this up. This isn't even close to a one handed keyboard. It's just a Belkin Speedpad that gamers use for FPSs. They've been out forever. The link is just some blogger speculating about what might be done with it. Belkin isn't marketing one handed keyboards. Just one handed keypads. Stupid post.

  6. Re:Linus. on Why Consider Linux Kernel Patent Risks? · · Score: 1

    I was going to ask the same thing. Do you really believe the lawyers take this stuff personally? Do you think IBM's lawyers know what Linux is and actually care about saving it? lol. That's so naive. They get paid either way.

  7. Re:legality on VoIP Terms of Service May Surprise You · · Score: 2, Insightful
    Do you really think these companies have the time to keep up with monitoring your conversations and such when they barely stay afloat with user demand?

    No, but I'm sure there are those who have the time to make false complaints against you thereby causing your telco to zip up your phone convo's and forward them to the FBI.

  8. Re:Internet Provider on AOL IM 'Away' Message Security Hole Found · · Score: 2, Informative

    You don't have to be an AOL subscriber to use AIM.

  9. Re:message of means? on Should SETI Be Looking For Lasers Instead? · · Score: 0

    54. Learn your damn times tables.

  10. Re:How Fast? on AlphaGrip's 3D Keyboard Ready For Pre-Orders · · Score: 1

    There's no way you can hunt and peck 70wpm. No friggin' way.

  11. Re:Bah. on AlphaGrip's 3D Keyboard Ready For Pre-Orders · · Score: 2, Funny
    ...and as I know how ten hours of marathon gaming can kill my hands...

    Skim over that sentence quickly and see what you get...

  12. Re:Icons. on Apple vs. Microsoft Myths Revisited · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Ahhh, but Xerox sold the idea to Apple whereas Microsoft stole them. Didn't you watch Pirates of Silicon Valley? Remember Bill ranting "I WANT IT!" Contrast with the scene of Steve slyly asking Xerox what they wanted for their ideas and Xerox telling him to just haul it all away. Big difference.

  13. Re:My Rights Online? on Google and Yahoo Settle Overture Lawsuit · · Score: 2, Funny

    Yes, this obviously should have been posted under either Books or Apache.

  14. Re:Stop playing solitaire on my dialysis machine on Fed-Up Hospitals Defy Windows Patching Rules · · Score: 1
    I'd build it as an entirely atomic OS

    I'm assuming you meant "autonomic" meaning "functionally independent".

  15. Re:Enterpise: Greatest Hits on More On Shatner's Possible Return To Trek · · Score: 2, Funny

    What about Clint Howard?

  16. Re:Doom3 for linux on Doom 3 - Linux, Multi-Monitor, DirectX 8 Solutions · · Score: 1

    If you think BSOD jokes are still relevant you must have spent that the last few years sleeping under a rock. XP doesn't crash. Ever.

  17. Re:Just do what I do on Passwords - 64 Characters, Changed Daily? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Are you trying to say that that is an easy to guess password? Because I'd never have tried it. A better story would have been that his password was "drew" or "dean" or "password". All I'm trying to say is that "dddrewww" is nowhere near "the simplest password."

  18. HOKY SHIT! THERE'S LIKE NO MAGSTRIPE INFORMATION! on Unlocking The Power Of the Magstripe · · Score: 4, Funny
    I was shocked by the lack of magstripe information.

    Maybe you were mildly suprised?

  19. Re:How to make the warranty work for you on Kensington Laptop Locks Not So Secure · · Score: 2
    40GB drive, 2.2GHz P4, ATI Radeon 9000 (independant video memory), CDRW+DVD, and 4-6 hours of battery life with the display dimmed, 802.11B.

    That isn't all that "sweet" and is worth nowhere near 4 grand today or even when you bought it.

  20. Is it just me? on Why Wall Street Wants Google to Fail · · Score: 1

    I'm starting to get sick of goody two shoes Google. I want them to fail as well actually. I'm sorry but let the Google backlash begin.

  21. Re:Linux Performance on Marine Finds Duct Tape on Mars · · Score: 3, Funny
    ...when the Linux port comes out...

    Or I could just play Doom III on XP TODAY! BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Have fun waiting.

  22. I guess CNN didn't think it was newsworthy. on Olympics to Have Live Online Coverage, But Not For Americans · · Score: 4, Funny

    They were right.

  23. Re:guns.. on Ready, Aim, HACK! · · Score: 1
    read the article...it's not an actual rifle!

    Read the grandparent. It looks like one from far away.

  24. Re:Giving Sony Competition on Microsoft Lusts Nintendo, To Little Avail · · Score: 1

    Then why the fuck did you buy a Cube? Try a little research next time stupid.

  25. Re:Huh on Moving To Linux · · Score: 0, Troll

    I've already kissed the BSOD goodbye. I run XP. It hasn't crashed in over 2 years. It's incredibly stable.
