  1. Re:fair swap? on Daleks Exterminated From New Dr. Who · · Score: 1, Funny

    Maybe they could get Chris Evans to be the new evil enemy. He scares the sh*t out of me.

  2. This could be great... on Indemnification Roundup · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Without this indemnity SCO will carry on picking on smaller companies that use linux, who may pay up on the basis of licence<court costs*risk.

    With this indemnity, SCO will be just going to a few companies who are insuring the individual users. Here the equation would be reversed, and you will have effectively pooled the legal resources of all of the linux using companies.

    The insurer will have a lot more to lose in court, and a lot more resources with which to destroy SCO's arguments.

  3. Not creative enough... on Linux-Powered Auto-Parking Car · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't it be better if, instead of parallel parking, the car just circled the block?

    You wouldn't even need to find a space, and you wouldn't have to feed a meter!

    Wouldn't it be great if all cars did that?

    Oh wait...

  4. Power source? on Microsoft Patents The Body Bus · · Score: 1

    If all of these devices are using power conducted over my skin, where do I stick the power pack?

    If it's any bigger than an AA cell I'm gonna scream like a pig (cue banjo).

  5. Re:Dream of Administrator? on Apple Remote Desktop 2 Released · · Score: 1
    #!/bin/ksh
    command=$1
    for hostname in $(cat hosts.txt)
    do
    echo "ssh $hostname $command"
    ssh $hostname $command
    done

    I knew preview was there for something...

    Please make cheques payable to...

  7. Re:Question of the day : food or music ? on Apple Music Store Coming to Europe & iTunes in China · · Score: 2, Insightful

    China, population below poverty line 10%, USA, er, oh, wait, erm, 12.7%. Did I get those the wrong way round, oh, let me check again, aha, oh no. USA has 12.7% of it's population below the poverty line.

    So, as I was saying, you're in south central, and you think, tunes or medical provision, what are you going to choose, hmmm... hard choice but I'll download Outkast.

    US China (world factbook).

  8. Re:No way to win that game. on "Real" Real Time Strategy? · · Score: 1

    Where's the fun in that you hippy?

    Oh, now I get you, lull them into a false sense of security then lay mines all around their positions before bringing in the daisycutters.

    That would be a good game.

  9. Re:Tiger wishlist on Mac OS X 10.4 "Tiger" Preview at WWDC · · Score: 1
    Wishlist:
    • Finder: actually find things, like keys, etc.
    • Faster user switching: when I've got thirty windows of hot slut does dido up. No need for 3D effect though
    • Expose: a bit like exposé, but when I press Command alt F12 the person sitting next to me's clothes fly off to the corner of the room
    • Rendezvous: gets chicks to sit next to me, see Expose

    Huh, 129 bucks still seems steep.

  10. Re:Quality hardware? on Fixing the Dreaded iBook Backlight? · · Score: 1

    My wife's bronze keyboard pb is over four years old (maybe older...), the battery still works fine for an hour or so, the screen is perfect and there have been no faults at all. It's still more than fast enough for her to do everything she wants, although, admittedly, she's not mapping the human genome on it.

    Prior to this I had a 540c which I was still doing serious work on (as in stuff I was being paid for) three years after I bought it, I only had to buy a new power supply.

    Every doze laptop I've ever seen has been junk after two years.

    Mac users are used to the best engineering and quality control, so any design and manufacturing faults jar, however every mac zealot knows never buy rev a portables (unless you have just got to have it).
