  2. Re:Wine vs Windows API on Run Windows Applications Natively in OS X? · · Score: 1

    Anyone who remembers IBM's OS2 knows that IBM licensed the Windows API, and included it into OS2, and could run all Windows programs

    OS/2 could only run Windows 16-bit apps, not 32, making it pretty useless for new apps after Windows 95 came out.

  3. Buffering.. on Real Networks to Linux - DRM or Die · · Score: 1

    I have a transcript of the speech right here:

    "Hello, my name is Jeff Ayars, VP of Real Networks. Today I would like to talk to you about Buffering.... Buffering.... Buffering"

  4. It's true! on Tech Workers in Higher Demand · · Score: 4, Funny

    I know this because I watch television. In it, they say they IT jobs are in high demand, and all I need is this certificate in order to get a yacht like the guy on the tv. So, this is true.

  5. What's with all the hate for duck hunt? on You Say You Want A Revolution? · · Score: 3, Funny

    What's wrong with a next gen Duck Hunt? I already know of a next gen Duck Hunt called "Halo 2". Replace the ducks with "covenant" and replace the laughing dog with a 12 year old on Xbox live constantly yelling "You are the gay!! I am kicking your ass!!" and you see my point.

  6. Re:So now the failure will be spectacular on The New Japan 360 Plan · · Score: 1

    I call dibs on the Dukes of Hazzard anime:

    I guess the earth should try low carb. I hear good things.

  8. Duke Nukem Forever on Lucent Sues Microsoft, Wants All 360s Recalled · · Score: 3, Funny

    Using this argument, Duke Nukem Forever would need three five-year extensions, and its not even out yet ;P

  9. Re:Interesting... on Another Sony Format Bites the Dust · · Score: 1

    get all this crap instead, telling me not to pirate

    Ironically the best way to take care of this is to copy the movie and edit out the chapters that have the antipiracy warnings that take 30 minutes to get through. DVDShrink is a good tool for this, and it's free (windows only).

  10. Re:It's never been easier to be a parent on 34 ISPs Subpoenaed By U.S. Government · · Score: 1

    Yeah, because it's so easy to raise a family on a single income. When you get back from planet "everyone makes over 100k a year" please call me and let me know. As for what reality actually is, a lot of parents both HAVE TO have jobs just to live day to day. Should they not have the chance to experience the wonders of being a parent too? The world is not black or white and calling parents that work "fucktards" is a little immature at best.

  11. Re:Apple's Customer service is great. on Why Everyone Loves Apple · · Score: 2, Funny

    I'll certainly get modded down for this

    Way off topic I know, but this statement is in fact the key to getting modded up. Of course, I am going to be modded down for pointing this out ;)

  13. Bingo Bob's Chairs on Ballmer Babies Banned From iPods and Google · · Score: 1

    "Hi, my name is Steve Ballmer. When I am home with my family, sitting around the table, you may ask what kind of chairs I like to use? Well, my family knows only to sit on Bingo Bob's Chairs. Not only are they comfortable, but super light to sustain maximum throwing distance. If you're gonna throw a chair, just don't pick any chair, pick a Bingo Bob's Chair."

  15. Re:What this really means... on Ballmer Won't Dismiss Idea of Suits Against Linux · · Score: 1

    Does anyone else find the striking similarities between Homer Simpson and Steve Ballmer a bit uncanny?

    Considering the chair throwing I would compare him less with Homer Simpson and more with professional wrestler Stone Cold Steve Austin.

  18. Re:Apple, "MacOS W", & the real reason for the on 60% Of Windows Vista Code To Be Rewritten · · Score: 1

    Ballmer throws a chair at Gates and it wakes him. The dream ends.

  19. Re:Cairo? on 60% Of Windows Vista Code To Be Rewritten · · Score: 1

    Actually from what I remember Cairo was advertised more as a grouping of technologies than an operating system. Most the features eventually made their way into various Microsoft operating systems.

  20. Nintendo R.O.B. on Meet the Botnet Hunters · · Score: 1

    Call me when they start a group of hunters for the Nintendo R.O.B. . They are the bots we should be really watching out for.

  21. The comic book guy says.. on Marvel and DC Enforce "Superhero" Trademark · · Score: 2, Funny

    Worst use of trademark law.... ever

  22. Katamari Revolution on Katamari Team Disbands · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I was actually really hoping for a version of Katamari Damacy using the revolution controller. Watching my nieces play this game, while they flail the controller all over the air, made me think it would be an absolute perfect fit for the revolution.

  23. Re:And now... on Opera Software Co-Founder Passes Away · · Score: 1

    I was wondering how long it would take someone to get a 5 funny in a somber post like this. Twenty nine minutes is not bad. I take off my hat to you good sir.

  24. Or another alternative.. on No HD-DVD Movies Until April · · Score: 5, Funny

    You can get HD content right now, with no added cost to yourself. I am sure there are a torrent of options that could be found with a bit of searching.
