  1. No Documentation? on Quanta Gold Reviewed · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Isn't documentation supposed to be one of the big reasons people buy commercial vs. use noncommercial software?

  2. No protocol I've ever heard of! on Michael Robertson of Lindows Responds · · Score: 1

    hyyp? click on the gambas link!

  3. I don't get it.... on IDSA Requests VIC 20 Cartridge Roms Takedown · · Score: 1

    Why are they going after enthusiasts that are keeping an obsolete platform alive? I can understand it if you could actually buy the games at a store, but this seems silly. They should do what more reputable companies do when their products become obsolete: support those who keep the flame alive. Instead of shutting people down, a much more nobel move would be to release the IP to public domain.

  4. Re:Lets all thank EFF! on RIAA, MPAA Lose Suit Against Streamcast and Grokster · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Personally, I donated $100 this month to EFF.

  5. You can't win a war without winning some battles! on RIAA, MPAA Lose Suit Against Streamcast and Grokster · · Score: 1

    This victory should give everyone all the more reason to donate to EFF. Hopefully ruling will be upheld in appeals court.

  6. Re:Grim Fandango and other LucasArts titles on Assorted Video Game Movies in Development · · Score: 1

    I actually think that Sam & Max Hit the Road would make a really funny animated feature.

  7. Where do they come up with these names? on Slashback: Vaidhyanathan, Oregon, Opteron · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Siva Vaidhyanathan? Is that even pronounceable?

  8. What about... on Assorted Video Game Movies in Development · · Score: 1

    Sam and Max Hit the Road? That would be pretty funny.

  9. What about The Longest Journey? on Assorted Video Game Movies in Development · · Score: 2, Insightful

    That game had an excellent plot, and would make a great movie IMO. It could star Claire Danes or Anna Paquin.

  10. What about Tomb Raider? on Assorted Video Game Movies in Development · · Score: 4, Funny

    The plot totally sucked, but Angelina Jolie sure was hot.

  11. Reindeer DNA on Ancient DNA · · Score: 1

    Everyone knows that you can find some at the North Pole.

    On an interesting side note, reindeer is one of the few words that doesn't follow the "I before E except after C"

  12. Palm Keyboard on Are Rebates Scandalous? · · Score: 1

    The rebate coupon that came with my Palm had the option to give me a free keyboard instead. I took that option, and it arrived in a few weeks. Also, Palm is a notch up from other rebates out there, as they allow you to fill it out online instead of snail-mailing a silly form.

  13. You'd think... on Canadian Lab Unravels SARS With A Beowulf Cluster · · Score: 1, Funny

    that if they can set up a beowulf cluster, they could handle a little more web traffic ;)

  14. Re:In Soviet Russia, SARS unravels you! on Canadian Lab Unravels SARS With A Beowulf Cluster · · Score: 0

    Is there enough room for all of them to fit in the SARS tower?

  15. Ramen is the cure for world hunger! on Lose Weight The Slow, Boring Way · · Score: 0

    Just think about it, if you were homeless, you could panhandle for about an hour a week, and make enough money to never go hungry by eating Ramen!

  16. C corps don't get 1099's on Tax Tips For Small Folks? · · Score: 0

    AFAIK (I'm not an accountant), when someone pays a C corp, they just cut the company a check. it is then up to the corp to take care of it's own taxes.

    As for the original post, I wish I had more answers for you, I am actually in the same boat, myself.

  17. Re:Unlocking... on Unlocking Alzheimer's Mysteries · · Score: -1, Redundant

    I had an interesting reply to this, but I seem to have forgotten it.

  18. hm on Unlocking Alzheimer's Mysteries · · Score: 2, Funny

    it gives a new meaning to brain-drain.

  19. my tips on Working Hints for a New Telecommuter? · · Score: 1

    4. Learn how to sound awake when someone calls you when you are sleping in/napping.

    5. Learn how to multitask...In between your EverCrack sessions, daytime TV, and web surfing, be sure to check your work email frequently, and reply promptly. Be sure to CC your boss on all those email replies.

    6. Spend more time on writing status reports than on actual work. The more you write, the more work it looks like you're doing. Be sure to send daily updates. For extra credit, send in your report at 8pm or later.

    7. Log in to the VPN early, and sign off late. Make sure to transfer plenty of files between the company network and your "home office". It will look like you're working hard.

    8. whenever you go into the office for meetings, be sure to reiterate to your boss how much more productive you are working at home.

  20. English version of the web site on Gameboy Advance Clone Superemulator · · Score: 1
  21. Superman's Curse on Spider-Man Has Back Problems · · Score: 1

    Hopefully Spider-Man won't end up with the same curse as Superman
