  1. Re:largest software project in mankind's history on Why Vista Release Date Really Slipped · · Score: 1

    How? Ctrl-C, Ctrl-V

  2. Re:Give Vista Developers A Break on Why Vista Release Date Really Slipped · · Score: 1

    No, the .exe extension is hidden, so just "What the SCANDISK"?

  3. Re:Export regulations? on Hifn Restricts Crypto Docs, OpenBSD Opens Fire · · Score: 1

    No, HiFn isn't selling OpenBSD any chips, therefore OpenBSD is not a customer and there is no need to collect that information. OpenBSD is a software house. HiFn is a hardware house which doesn't understand the difference between hardware and software...

  4. Simple - more coffee - less beer on Study Says Coffee Protects Against Cirrhosis · · Score: 1

    I mean come on, you can only handle so much fluid. Sixteen cups of water a day will provide complete protection against alcoholic cirrosis of the liver...

  5. Many new designs in past 20 years on Labs Compete to Build New Nuclear Bomb · · Score: 4, Funny

    Why doesn't the US just buy some new designs from South Africa, Israel, India or Pakistan?

  6. Re:Right now? on Hawking Says Humans Must Go Into Space · · Score: 1

    Just grab a towel and your sub-etha-sensomatic...

  7. Re:Strange Days on June Windows Update To Be Biggest in a Year · · Score: 1

    I tell my clients that I don't use Windows myself, since nobody pays me to repair my own systems all the time... That tends to make them think!

    The only reason my notebook is dual booting, is to be able to support other people, so I can test out fixes, or walk through the menus of some incomprehensible program with a client. I don't actually use Windows for anything.

  8. Yes, but on Working Model of MIT $100 Laptop a Hit · · Score: 1

    will a cracked black market copy of Windows Vista run on it?

  9. 1,700 degrees Celsius on A Cleaner, Cheaper Route to Titanium · · Score: 0

    That is rather hot. So apart from the natural gas well required to melt the stuff, you also need a nuclear power station for electricity. Something tells me it is going to cost a leeeetle bit more than $3 per pound.

  10. Sony 'sploit on Social Engineering Using USB Drives · · Score: 1

    Just hand out some Sony CDs too and the whole thing can remain perfectly cloaked...

    I have wondered how difficult it would be to do a DNS poisoning of the MS Update address. That could yield full control of heaps of PCs.

  11. Re:With regulation, dating sites will look like th on Fraud in Internet Dating Prompting Regulation · · Score: 1

    Of course not, but an honest hard working blue collar girl is going to be a lot easier to find than an honest hard working upper middle class girl. One simple reason being that there are a 100 times more of them. So by looking at a lower socio-economic group, you increase the odds of finding a soul mate enormously.

  12. Hammer on Ultrawideband Signal Passes Data Through Walls · · Score: 1

    If your data won't pass through walls, then you just need a bigger hammer... ;)

  13. Re:The SUV of notebooks... on Notebook with Huge 20 Inch Screen Reviewed · · Score: 1

    Need to power this baby with a fuel cell: "My laptop gets 20 hours to the hogs-head and that's the way I like it..."

  14. Bugs in documentation? on Windows Servers Beat Linux Servers · · Score: 1

    So, how exactly would documentation make a machine fail? This report must have been written by someone from the 'Duh' department...

  15. Re:With regulation, dating sites will look like th on Fraud in Internet Dating Prompting Regulation · · Score: 1

    Just look for a hard working girl on the other side of town. You are obviously living in the well-to-do part and the girls there are the ne-er-do-well Victoria's Secrets kind. So change the pubs and clubs that you attend to an area 10 miles east and you'll soon find a beautiful, muscular, down to earth girl that won't believe her good luck and who will adore you forever...

  16. Re:Extraterrestrial weather reports? on Huge Storms Converge on Jupiter · · Score: 1

    It is more evidence of the effect of humans on climate change and global warming... ;)

  17. # nc -l -p 50000 | dd of=/dev/hda on Ballmer Beaten by Spyware · · Score: 1

    # ssh root@image.example.com
    # dd if=pc.img | nc 192.168.x.y 50000

    Never fear when Knoppix is near.

  18. Multiple licences on The Worst Bill You've Never Heard Of · · Score: 1

    Cool, separate licenses for the buffering in my CD player and the sound that is travelling through the air, plus a license for the sound in my head and I guess I have to pay every time a stupid song gets stuck in my head too...

    Actually, I think all these stupid laws are good. The result will be a totally broken system and the laws will end up being universally ignored. The faster the politicians can bring it on, the sooner the pendulum will start to swing back.

  19. Re:space psychology on Astronauts Lost Tools in Space, Forced to Improvise · · Score: 1

    Simple. Soap on a Rope. Just string the tools up. How hard can that be?

  20. Re:Anyone for monopoly? on EU May Push for Competitive Spectrum Trading · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Not odd at all - they don't want to pay multiple times to maintain their monopolies - it is all an anti-monopolistic plot by money grubbing beaurocrats against the poor and sensitive spectrum monopolies - sniff...

  21. Re:Well, it ipv6 has to start somewhere on 6Bone IPv6 Network Shutting Down Tomorrow · · Score: 1

    Hmm, it may make hacking a whole lot easier...

  22. Re:i'm okay with the new design but.. on The 100 Best Tech Products of 2006 · · Score: 1

    There is that switch called 'Plain Old Text' down below.

    Works for me...

  23. Re:Watch out though... on Web 2.0 As A New Wave of Innovation? · · Score: 1

    Don't worry, the worst will be Web ME, thereafter things will get better again...

  24. Re:News for Nerds... on Bellagio Fountains Recreated with Mentos and Coke · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Sugar in regular cola makes sticky mess - the diet version doesn't.

  25. Re:According to the site, it's a physical thing on Bellagio Fountains Recreated with Mentos and Coke · · Score: 1

    Hmmm, should try some activated carbon then. Anybody got an old gas mask canister?
