  1. How useful is this? on Earthquake Prediction Months In Advance · · Score: 1, Insightful

    I mean, if they could narrow it down to +/- 3 (10?) days or something.. then maybe? But, really, I have a system of my own:
    There will be an earthquake of at least 6.4 magnitude in the state of California. Before 2010. So far, my predictions have always been accurate +/- 7 years.

  2. Nice on IBM, Intel Set Up $10m SCO Defense Fund · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Kudos to IBM/Intel for "doing the Right Thing (TM)". Also found it interesting how the ZDnet article words it "Anti-SCO". Harsh. I like it.

  3. Re:LCD TV above the stove? on Apartment Lit Solely by LEDs · · Score: 1

    Remember that this is a geek apartment. We don't actually use our stoves.

  4. Did anyone else.. on Speak Freely To Be Withdrawn January 15 · · Score: 1

    read this as "Speech Freedom To Be Withdrawn"? I figured Patriot Act 7 was here.

  5. FX5200s too? on Turning A FX5900 Into A FX5950 Ultra, Tool-Free · · Score: 1

    I have an FX5200, is there some equivalent (like a 5250 Ultra or something) that I can use on mine?

  6. So this time.. on Bush To Announce Manned Trip To Moon, Mars · · Score: 1

    Will President Bush be the monkey we send up first?

  7. Re:Mac version doesn't have this misfeature on Photoshop CS Adds Banknote Image Detection, Blocking? · · Score: 1

    Slightly O/T.. If you watch Bad Boys II there is a scene where they're putting money into something, and you can see clearly for a fraction of a second where the bills say "FOR MOTION PICTURE USE ONLY". Struck me as funny. Since I've never seen this before in other movies where millions and millions in cash is shown, I'm guessing only one side of the bills have this?

  8. Re:Suggestion to Real on Real Launches New Player, Music Store · · Score: 1

    Hmm. I'm not sure where you're looking at YOUR porn, but on the sites that I freq^H^H^H^Hhear about..

  9. Re:What he did is still illegal on Feds Thwart Extortion Plot Against Best Buy · · Score: 1, Informative

    So if I install a fountain for 'users', in front of our office, and someone takes it apart and damages it.. what is that?

  10. Re:This is about dog food on Memo Confirms IBM Move To Linux Desktop? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    You think that memo was leaked on accident? This is the best way IBM could publicize the fact that they're "eating their own dog food". No press conferences, no big statements here. Just letting it be known.

  11. Will this be like on ISS May Have A Leak · · Score: 0, Insightful

    the movie Airplane?

    FP.

  12. Re:Imagine. on You've Got Spam: AOL Blocks 1/2 Trillion Spam · · Score: 0

    Might I suggest a cleaner way would be to have some sort of a little stat in their webmails, or a daily summary/digest in their inbox..
    Total E-mail Processed: 17 Total E-mail Blocked as UBE: 13 Percentage of Spam: 76%

  13. Re:How often they get caught on Identity Theft and Social Networks · · Score: 1, Interesting

    These cards can't be faked? We've seen perfect fake IDs (Drivers' Licenses) here in the States.

  14. Re:Welll time to sell my car on Grand Theft Auto Ban To Be Decided By Courts · · Score: 0

    Unless 'x' is some variable in the equation, 30x 39.95 = ~$1200. Sounds like you're strapped. Hold on to the car.

  15. Re:whoa on 10 Ads The US Won't See · · Score: 0

    overweight, useless parent who uses a sausage and a beer glass to illustrate the facts of life.
    Is this a Simpsons episode I missed?

  17. Re:If a treebot falls... on Linux-Based Robot To Explore The Forest · · Score: 1, Funny

    Am I the only one who would be absolutely FREAKED OUT if I were camping, and saw in the distance some faint shiny object hovering above us?

  21. Re:I got the most sucky gift possible... on Weird Presents Anyone? · · Score: 0

    Going from your username, I was trying to think up a good MS-going-under joke here.. I came up dry. My regards, though.. Losing your job is a terrible gift.

  22. Re:Gadgets and a t-shirt. on Weird Presents Anyone? · · Score: 0

    Some info on the pcmcia card's brand/model might help us help you. As far as the shirt goes, sorry.

  25. Cable..? on Largest Citywide Wi-Fi Deployment · · Score: -1, Troll
    "The 51,000 residents of Cerritos have not had DSL broadband access to the Internet because the city is too far from the telephone company's central office and Cable Internet access has not been an option either."
    That's because they live in the #@%@#%% ghetto.
