  1. Re:Surfers, lichen protest WaveGen on Wave Driven Generators · · Score: 1

    Wow, choral reefs? Are those the mythical singing isles we hear so little about these days?

  2. Missing TLD Proposal on ICANN Selects New Top Level Domains · · Score: 2

    I see a couple of useful TLDs that have been thrown out, however I haven't even seen a proposal put forward for .aol! I can't imagine a more useful TLD, it would make it so much easier to write all your filtering software. As soon as all usenet feeds and discussion groups, not to mention irc start dropping everything that comes from the .aol domain the average iq of the net would probably double overnight. Meanwhile everything inside .aol would have their own 'value added' services to keep them satified with 'the internet' still so everyone would be happy,\.

  3. Re:Probably on Chip News To Crunch On · · Score: 1

    You're selling it? Mine even lower so bidding on this one opens at $5000 ;]

  4. Re:Hmmm... Meme virii... on Candle · · Score: 1

    No I dont think so, he said linux not Windows. I very much doubt the AMA would allow Windows to be ported to the brain, imagine the dangers of people BSODing all over the place.

  5. Re:I believe it.. on Do Penguins Topple When Planes Fly Over? · · Score: 1

    You might find it easier to use a laser pointer to do that. However it is somewhat similar to an already patented application for for the device to tease cats. So chances are you might get some patent lawyer after you for doing it.

  6. Re:All well and good on Coders Say Yes To Telecommuting, No To Ping Pong · · Score: 1

    you've not spoken to another living soul

    Comeon, at least you've spoken to the pizza delivery guy.

  8. Re:That's all we need! on Chandra Discovers Enormous 'Skull' · · Score: 1

    I think a civilisation that contructed such an object would have to be very prescient and powerful. As the size of the object is probably a few million light years across and would be a monumental engineering effort to say the least. It is also at least a billion light years old which puts its current appearance being that long ago in years way before there even was any human skulls in existance to model it on.
    Go form your own paranoid conclusions from this.

  9. Re: It seems... on Intel Submits Patent Covering Itanium Instructions · · Score: 1

    Really? If so what exactly are they charging it on, and how do they count it?

  10. Re:Regulatory headache... on Buy Yourself A Russian Space Capsule · · Score: 1

    It actually might make a good diving bell, or an aquarium (as long as you dont mind having a tiny viewing area).

  11. Re:THE CAP ON KARMA on Carnivore In Living Color · · Score: 1

    Argh think I need some sleep, lets try that again:

    What happens is the score of the article is increased so that readers will find such a valuable comment easily. This is the whole point of the moderation system, to give scores to comments NOT to users.

  12. Re:THE CAP ON KARMA on Carnivore In Living Color · · Score: 1

    What do you mean nothing happens? What happens is the score of the article so readers will find such a valuable comment easily, which is the whole point of the moderation system.

  13. Re:Personally... on Playstation II Launch Notes From the Field · · Score: 1

    I think you've got a couple of wrong words in that comment. Here it is corrected:
    Well, let's see...Daikatana had over a $40 million budget, but it had John Romero behind it...so it still sucked.

  14. Re:when in rome on English, The Global Internet Language? · · Score: 2

    So the French were always considered uneducated vulgates back then too? ;]

  15. Re:Could Someone "Become You"? on Hong Kong Smart Identity Cards In 2003 · · Score: 1
    hrrmm... this guy used his card twice within an hour 100 miles apart, both times leaving the country...(or whatever)

    Have to nitpick here, but I'd like to see two places 100 miles apart inside hong kong to do things at... ;]

  16. Re:Dont you watch James Bond? on Hong Kong Smart Identity Cards In 2003 · · Score: 1

    I always thought the pen sticking through the middle of that eyeball would oscure the retina somewhat and make the scan fail in that segment...

  17. Re:Well, now I can dodge bullets! on Click! Ultra-High-Speed Digital Camera · · Score: 1

    Are you sure? Classifying an Intercontinetal Ballistic Missile as an assault weapon seems a stretch of imagination to me.

  18. Re:Drag-n-Drop Shopping on Enter The 'Stupid Patent Tricks' Contest · · Score: 2

    That system really sounds like a clothes store for crossdressers, or alternatively a pet store where you can buy _really_ big reptiles.

  19. Re:Patent on annoying stories on BT's Hyperlinking Patent Refuted · · Score: 1

    I'm sure there is way to much prior art in the public domain on this one to make your patent stand up.

  20. Re:GOAT SEX!!! on Mickey Mouse Propels ISS To New Heights · · Score: 1

    Ok this is interesting, disguising a different url as a goatse.cx link, what is the point in that?

  21. Re:Sigh. on 2001: A Space Laptop · · Score: 1

    Lets not say to much about those people with non-prime numbered account numbers too.

  22. Re:I like MPEG-4... on Copying A DVD To A CD? · · Score: 1

    Is this particular format something invented by OOG THE CAVEMAN by any chance? If so why wasn't it released several hundred thousand years ago, and wouldn't mp3 be a much newer format than it then?

  23. Re:Remember when... on Linux 2.2.17 Released · · Score: 1

    Could still be, it aint summer down here yet...

  24. Re:simple on What Happens When Patents Meet Antipatents? · · Score: 1

    I'm afraid you'll never get this one, theres just too much prior art out there...
    Hold on thats never stopped the patent office before as we've seen recently, so go ahead and give it a try..

  25. Re:Found in a quick google search... on Prior Art to Squash Database Patent? · · Score: 1

    And that system is probably the current patent holder to boot... ;]
