  1. Re:bad writeup! FTTH = fiber to the home on Verizon To Pump $18B Into FiOS · · Score: 1

    I googled FTTH:

    Fiber to the Home Council Join the FTTH Council in Las Vegas for what promises to be the ... mark is provided to service providers who meet the FTTH Council's requirements for ... www.ftthcouncil.org/ - 26k - Cached - Similar pages

    It took all of three seconds to do, and less then I imagine five calories burned. Get over it.

  2. Re:What about a 360 MMORPG?!? on Doom on Xbox Live, Jackson Making Halo Game · · Score: 4, Funny

    When you're chatting around the water cooler with your friends at work do you need a fucking keyboard?!?!

    "Yes"

  3. Re:That list is clearly missing one on The Man Who Literally Saved the World · · Score: 5, Funny

    Everytime they would say WOPR in War Games I would say "with cheese". It was possibly the funniest joke ever made, at least to my five year old self.

  4. My Prediction on Online Budget Database Planned by White House · · Score: 1

    A four terrabyte .xls file

  5. A smart company would take advantage of this.. on Apple Goes After the Term 'Podcast' · · Score: 1

    For example, lets say Microsoft starts pushing out the term "Zunecasting". More and more people start using such term and associating it with Microsoft's new DAP. At the same time, maybe Apple will be slightly humbled and stop suing everyone in sight. I know the "podcast" suings have not started yet, but they will trust me.

  6. OT but look what I just found out on Charge in 5 minutes, Drive 500 miles? · · Score: 1

    "In the wake of rising gasoline costs there have been plenty of alternatives seen on the horizon. Including Hybrids, Biofuels, fuel cells and battery powered all electric cars. CNN has recently posted a story about a company (EEStor) that plans on offering Ultra-Capacitor storage products. The claim being that you charge the ultra-capacitor in 5 minutes, with approximately 9$ (~$.45 a gallon) of electricity and then drive 500 miles."

  7. Re:Macintosh = Dell PC = HP PC on Noise Over Mac OS Market Share "Slip" · · Score: 1

    I want my computers to simply work when plugging in a peripheral

    ..and you bought a Mac? From my experience The term "not Mac supported" is more likely to be uttered than anything else in the hardware peripheral world. If you cant plug a USB Device into a Windows XP box and click next once or twice, and generally on the first time using the hardware, then yes you deserve your mac. I am not saying XP does not have it's (huge) problems, but patting yourself on the back for "Mac compatibility" is somewhat akin to a joke.

  8. Weather.. sure.. right on Space Shuttle Atlantis Delayed Again · · Score: 3, Funny

    ..or maybe it's the Goa'uld Ha'tak mothership sitting a couple hundred miles above Port Canaveral preventing the launch. You can fool me Nasa, I watch television.

  9. Higher clock than E3 dev kits? on IBM Announces Wii Chips In Nintendo Hands · · Score: 2, Interesting

    FTFA: According to the company, Silicon on Insulator technology from IBM helps deliver to Nintendo a generous improvement in processing power, while achieving a 20 percent reduction in energy consumption compared to the 'Gekko'.

    Less energy consumption usually means less heat. If there is less heat could we be seeing a higher clocked version of the chip than the one shown at E3?

  10. iTunes Music Store name on Apple Movie Store Only Serving Disney Films? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Does the name iTunes Music Store still really apply? If they are now selling movies and music, you would think a name change would come about. Just a thought.

  11. Another Sony Delay.. on Wireless HDMI Prototype Announced · · Score: 5, Funny

    In other news, in an attempt to make the PS3 future proof, Sony has once again delayed the PS3 till 2009 so that they may integrate wireless HDMI. Wireless HDMI will not come standard however, but be part of the 1500 dollar "ZOMG" SKU.

  12. Re:So basically on European PS3 Launch Delayed to 2007 · · Score: 1

    Nothing's changed:

    The PS3 was originally not going to be released in Europe until Q1 2007
    Correct: No Change
    It then got brought forward to November 2006
    This is indeed a change
    It then got put back to March 2007
    This is also a change


    I do not think the word change means what you think it means.

  13. Re:Approved by administrators before publishing ? on Not As Wiki As It Used To Be · · Score: 5, Insightful

    This goes back to "and who is policing the police?". If there is human involvement, then all things human will naturally be involved (emotions, agendas, etc..). There is nothing that you can do about it except to just trust that the system "works", at least most of the time.

  14. A "special" video? on Marketing Mozilla · · Score: 2, Funny

    "Accidentally" leak a video of mozilla doing the nasty on the internet and it will become an overnight household name. Worked for Paris Hilton.

  15. This goes back to the original problem.. on AT&T Breached, Exposes 19,000 Identities · · Score: 3, Interesting

    You should not be able to do so much damage with a simple number and some extra data. It is ridiculous that armed with merely this amount of information one could cause so much damage. The system needs to be completely reworked.

  16. Octopus? on HP Launches Ink Patent Violation Manhunt · · Score: 1

    I hope the octopus forms a large class action countersuit for prior art.

  17. Re:history repeating itself on Original Star Trek Getting CGI Makeover · · Score: 2, Insightful

    George Lucas made a ton of cash from re-releasing the original trilogy in theatres. What exactly do they have to learn from "the Star Wars debacle"? Oh, thats right, there's a ton of money to be had in re-releasing old stuff with new graphics.

  18. Shocked, shocked I say! on Dell Quietly Leaves MP3 Market · · Score: 2, Insightful

    ..because I thought they left the mp3 market like two years ago

  19. Everytime you threaten to cancel SG-1... on 'Stargate: SG-1' Cancelled · · Score: 5, Funny

    .. Teal'c kills a kitten

    Just a thought

  20. Re:Outsourcing gone mad or a good idea? on Wozniak to Judge American Idol-Inspired Mac App Contest · · Score: 1

    "It's like excel meets my-space, you arrange your friends into rows and columns ..."
     
    If I could Excel macros to make certain "friends" perform the same task over and over, well you got yourself a customer.

  21. Kanye West says.. on Dark Matter Exists · · Score: 5, Funny

    George Bush hates dark matter

  22. This will change everything! on Downloadable Movies from Amazon? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Bezos says cities will have to be rebuilt to accommodate this new concept of "downloading" "movies". This changes everything.

  23. We don't need this on Turning Garbage into Gold · · Score: 1

    The Mr. Fusion already produces 1.21 jiggawatts of electricity. They are about 18 years too late.

  24. Re:Go Google! on The Military Aims to Develop 'Smart' & Secure WiFi · · Score: 1

    Hey, I don't work for google, and me am pretty smart!

  25. What a nefariously wonderful idea on Jack Thompson Files Take-Two, Rockstar Lawsuit · · Score: 1

    You guys don't get it do you? He is working with the console warez scene groups! Instead of the shady tactics used in the past (Wal-Mart employees taking pre-release, some guy at the media duplication plant, cheese fries) he is going to do the easy thing and sue them to get an early release build. He will then release it onto the Intarweb. My hats off to you Jack Thompson, you crazy magnificient bastard!
