  1. Re:"role-acting"? on Biometric Terrorist Detector · · Score: 1

    Maybe Holywood will find new uses for this technology!

    Oh wait...

  2. Oh, I know, I know!!! on Homeland Security says 'Patch Windows Now' · · Score: 1

    1 - DHS orders Windows Update for everybody
    2 - Windows update install patches and WGA
    3 - Everybody thinks their "PCs are pirated on the internets"
    4 - ???
    5 - Profit!!

  3. No problemo! on No Virtual PC for Intel-based Macs · · Score: 1

    I'm sure VMWare will rise to the occasion.

    Oh yeah, "bringing Virtual PC to Intel" LOL!

  4. Important question relevant to the issue on Strange New 'Twin' Worlds Found · · Score: 4, Funny

    Which one is the evil twin?

    Thank you , I'll be here all evening!

  5. Re:Let's switch to American Idol call-in voting on Worst Ever Security Flaw in Diebold Voting Machine · · Score: 1

    Let's not forget about DialIdol

    So that we can keep our favourite candidates safe!

  6. We Suck! on Extensive Coverage of Ottawa Linux Symposium 2006 · · Score: 3, Insightful

    The best presentations, IMHO:

    Killing Kittens (David Arlie)
    LuserSpace sucks (DaveJ)
    Myths about Linux (Greg KH)

    OK, not the exact names, but you get the picture.

    The first one adresses graphic vendors that think their closed driver has fairy poo on them.

    The second adresses brain dead programmers that keep mistreating files AND the general OS.

    The third has the coolest last slide I've seen in a presentation.

  7. Re:Suspicious Files on PowerPoint 0-Day Points to Corporate Espionage · · Score: 1

    I'd probably put this in the "trustworty" bin...

    However, if it was spelled properly, then I'd raise an alarm :P

  8. Re:Thank god in a contry on UK Street Crime Rise Blamed on iPods · · Score: 1

    The really bad thing is having people modding you as insightful for a post that has several spelling errors.

    Correct spelling of words is not my problem, it's just that, for some mysterious reason, I keep typing stuff wrong .

  9. Thank god in a contry on UK Street Crime Rise Blamed on iPods · · Score: 5, Insightful

    wthout those baaad baaad guns this would have never happened!

    Oh wait...

  10. Oh No! on Work Around for New DVD Format Protections · · Score: 5, Funny

    2 - Print Screen - DMCA circunvention

    Let's hope they don't take our entire keyboard to protect their stuff from the thieves...

  11. Re:Not again on Is Simplified Spelling Worth Reform? · · Score: 0

    german is honestly the superior language IMHO - rules are solid,

    Yeah, sure... Like the rules that determine if a word is neutral, masculine or feminine... wiat a sec, oh yes, they don't exist!

    Or even better the "solid rules" that vanish in plain air if you're talking about a dog that limps, a granny holding an umbrella OR if you were born in Febuary the 29th...

  12. Excuse me on Cell Phone Radiation Excites the Brain · · Score: 0

    Wile I get my cell phone fix ...

  13. Re:Seems Wrong.. Cell phones work in airplanes... on Has My Cell Number Been Cloned? · · Score: 0

    You seem to be forgetting one thing...

    Speed is a HUGE thing when dealing with digital communications. Because of channel estimation issues, it is efficient when moving at lower speeds (like 300kpm for GSM phones) but no way it is going t work at airplane speeds (like 800/900kph)

    Even though it may attempt to negotiate (because of lower BW most likely), the voice channel is not going to work properly.

  14. Re:The heir apparent. on Why Ballmer Should Leave Microsoft · · Score: 0

    I know what will happen!!!

    1 - MS products are outsourced to India

    2 - MS stores will be build across the USA (a cross between a WalMart and Apple store)

  15. Re:SLOC: Vista vs. Linux on Why Vista Release Date Really Slipped · · Score: 0

    As I like to say, LOC are overrated. A program written all in only one line works the same.

  16. My Idea on Net Neutrality or Not? · · Score: 0

    Ok, let's do it like this:

    Send a letter to your congressman saying that you will not be able to vote for him, since you would incurr in costs for doing it and it's not fair that (s)he gets the vote for free.

  17. Let's not hope for a change: on Allergy-Free Kittens Produced · · Score: 0

    Every time you masturbate, god kills an allergic-free kitten does not sound right...

  18. Re:They may have a winner on Wii Graphics 'Better Than At E3' · · Score: 0

    They are probably skip a version so they can come with MAC OS XII

    And maybe the successor to Vista will be Windows XPEE

  19. Yes on Would Vendor Liability for Bugs Kill OSS? · · Score: 0

    A long time after all proprietary vendors fall dead.

    Just think how much MS / etc /etc would have to pay? No, it is not going to be cheap.

  20. Re:But it's different things on Oracle Exec Strikes Out At 'Patch' Mentality · · Score: 0

    Take the phone switches for example. These things don't crash, ever.

    I am sorry. I've worked already for a major telco equip. provider and their code is a huge steaming pile of crap.

    Yes it crashes. Fortunatelly due to testing it gets reduced a lot. But anyway, there are bugs, and stuff that doesn't work, etc, etc

  21. Re:Starving... on Drug Found to Aid Vegetative Patients · · Score: 0

    Because the same people who opposed the "killing" of Terri Schiavo (all in name of God, blah, blah, blah) are in fact torturers and would never allow Terri to be respectfully put to rest.

  22. Nothing can be expected on UK Law May Criminalize IT Pros · · Score: 0

    from a contry that banned guns to make it "safer". Guess what happened...

    It's going to be the same movie, all over again. Guess what, politicians never learn.

  23. Of Course on Lenovo Banned by U.S. State Department · · Score: 0

    Only the True American Computer Equipmnt Thingie can be used by the government, like those from Diebold.

  24. Come On on UK Government Wants Private Encryption Keys · · Score: 0

    I don't know how stupid politicians can get. I'll give them my encryption keys OVER MY DEAD BODY.

    Or I'll make sure the keys is something like POLITICIANSAREARSES or something like that.

    Or maybe it's better to just give them the keys, but not divulge the secret encryption method used.

  25. We are going to need on Samsung Working On Fuel-Cell Powered Cell Phones · · Score: 5, Funny

    A Cell fueled Cell phone using the Cell processor.

    That would be cool!
