  1. I thought it was kinda amusing. on The Solar Death Ray · · Score: 1

    Now make a reflector on one side of the moon and cook cities!!!

  2. That laptop is gorgeous on Wooden-Cased Computers, Small and Extra-Large · · Score: 1

    That's some beautiful handiwork, I want one :-)

  3. Never, Apple makes Gates seem like a Saint. on Forbes Predicts 5% Desktop Share for Apple in 2005 · · Score: 1

    I'll never forgive Apple (Back in the apple II days) for pricing $5 replacement parts for $200 because they could not be obtained elsewhere.

    If Macs dominated the market, Mac OS would triple in cost every year.

  4. Too much of a stretch. on What Will We Do With Innocent People's DNA? · · Score: 1

    Hiding your identity is not a legal way to protect from self incrimination.

    Otherwise we could all cover our faces in drivers license photos too.

    The protection against self incrimination means if you are asked something and cannot answer it without harming yourself, you are not obligated to lie. You can simply take the 5th.

  5. The truth behind all free offers on Inside the Free iPod Offer · · Score: 0

    Free Ipod = Getting Spammed beyond belief, your personal information sold, your identity stolen, and Oh Yea, No Ipod, but mabye an Exciting new E-Pod? (pull the string and it plays a little tune)

    Free Candy = Getting shoved into a van and touched in horrible ways

    Free Lunch = Your about to be asked for something big (Money, Favor, etc), or given lousy news

    Free Space Ship Ride = You are actually getting tricked into cutting off your own genitals, and then offing yourself as a comit goes by. Oh wait, mabye that one is legit?

    Free Study Medical Care = You are about to grow a tail and vomit your spleen out

    Free Software = You have just added your computer to the network of a million spam zombies

    Free offer to "Serve Mankind" = IT'S A COOKBOOK!! IT'S A COOKBOOK!!!!

    Like they say "if it sounds to good to be true... You are about to be eaten by aliens!"

  6. Y10K on date +%s Turning 1111111111 · · Score: 1

    Hehehe, I'de be happy if I didn't have to re-write stuff every 5 years to change with the times. Anyone who thinks their software is going to last 8000 years is a bit overconfident.

  7. QBASIC IS BEING DROPPED!!! on Visual Basic Developers Revolt Against Microsoft · · Score: 1

    OH NO!!,
    I was gonna build our entire infrastructure around it.

  8. It Simple to explain, men & women are differe on Women Leaving I.T. · · Score: 1

    Just like more guys like the 3 stooges, and more women like romantic films. More men like IT and more women like Real Estate. etc. However Both men and women LOVE money, and back in '96 Tech payed NICE! so both sexes went after those jobs. Tech doesn't pay as good anymore, so now its being reduced to those who do it primarily because they like it.

  9. Actually Yes, I think so on When Should You Quit Your Job? · · Score: 1

    Unless you have something else lined up.

    I myself left a job because of disgust and etical reasons. But I didn't storm out the door. It was a trigger for me to LOOK for other work, and I left very shortly thereafter.

  10. Give the man some credit on Bill Gates to Receive Honorary UK Knighthood · · Score: 1

    Whatever you think of his competitive strategies you have to admit that his contribution to our advancement is substantial.

    If you think the computer industry would be anywhere near as advanced without him and MS you are nucking futs.

  11. I'de call it price fixing on MP3 Download Prices to Rise? · · Score: 1

    I think if the music industry is so fond of price fixing, they deserve no protection against bootlegging.

  12. Sadly the result was dissapointing when... on MIT Certifies Biological Engineering Major · · Score: 1

    they discovered that even artificial chicks prefer Foodball player to band geeks!

  13. We all know the real issue between France & Go on French Court Orders Google to Stop Competing Ad Displays · · Score: 2, Funny
    Go to Google, and type "French military victories"
    Then push the "I'm feeling lucky" button.

    Did you mean: french military defeats



    I think that is their REAL issue with Google :P

  14. Getting drunk and mistaking it for a urinal? on Most Common Ways to Kill a PC · · Score: 0, Troll

    I don't see it on the list, surely I can't be the only one?

  15. WOW, well put on Repair Costs for Hubble Are Vexing to Scientists · · Score: 1

    Somebody did his homework.

  16. The 80B is more important than hubble. on Repair Costs for Hubble Are Vexing to Scientists · · Score: 1

    Hubble helps us gather knowledge and advance the progress of mankind and send us into the future, Pretty Important.

    Certain people want to send mankind back to the stoneage, loosing all advancements we have made since then. Killing them is even more important that fixing hubble.

  17. Wow and I thought Kim Kommando was an idiot on New Spam Zombies Use ISPs' Mailservers · · Score: 1

    These guys would make her look look an expert.

  18. Complete Wacko! on Robots that Lust and Reproduce · · Score: 1

    I can't belive that anyone would even give this nut print. This is complete BS.

  19. I second the motion on UPN Officially Cancels 'Star Trek: Enterprise' · · Score: 1

    There can oly be one dominant Sci Fi Captain!

    Mabye on the last episode they'll have Captain Archer get his head chopped off by Adamma!

  20. Heck I thought it was already off the air. on UPN Officially Cancels 'Star Trek: Enterprise' · · Score: 1

    Move it to fridays, and stop promoting it. Result: even die hards forget it exists.

    Hey, they could do something like NBCs must see Thursday, called UPNs gonna cancel Friday!

  21. We don't need the ALL skills on Secret Kazaa Documents Revealed in Court · · Score: 1

    I know how to find a few things, I'm sure some of you know how to find others. Between all of us we warn each other. Thus why we all know Kazaa is bundled with Adware.

  22. Thanks, I didn't know that. on Google Rewards Employees With Millions · · Score: 1

    If I were modding I'de give ya informative points galore.

  23. Sounds like butt pirates... on Ubisoft to Publish Puzzle Pirates · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Arr, that not be me sword...

  24. What on Earth does Google need with an IPO? on Google Rewards Employees With Millions · · Score: 1

    Short of being a scam to take the money and run, I see no real growth potential.

    They have a nice pice of the market, and the will likely keep it, and they do a nice job

    HOWEVER, Additional capitol will do nothing to increase it's value, it's not like it needs money for more servers so they can serve more people, they are already maxxed out

    i think the IPO is an opportunity to cash in on the past growth, knowing darn well future growth will be VERY tame.

  25. Give them some credit on Can-Spam Increased Spam · · Score: 1

    They honest to goodness did a good job on the do not call list. They just need a better understanding of what they are voting on. Their previous failure might help them get a better law in place.
