  1. Re:oh no, its happened... on Mars Rovers Find More Evidence of Water · · Score: 1

    * Names the face on Mars Linus. *

  2. Re:Legal issues with artificial eyes... on Need A New Retina? Look No Further · · Score: 1

    MPAA: "Congratulations on your restored sight. Now, I must inform you that you're under arrest for bringing not one, but two cameras into a movie theater. That's a felony son."
    That'll go over REALLY well in the court of public opinion . . . . .

  3. Re:Yay on Two Strikes for Eolas Plug-In Patent · · Score: 5, Funny

    Only this time, and for the first time . . . . well ever they're fighting for the forces of good.

    The enemy of my enemy . . . is still my enemy but I'd rather they get shot at instead of us. ;)

  4. Re:"record our entire lives" on 100 Terabyte 3.5-inch Optical Storage · · Score: 0

    I've always thought that we should use "hours of divx porn" as a good benchmark for storage devices.

  5. Re:The most beautiful 12" Powerbook is the BEST on Laptops with the Longest Battery Life? · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    what else can one ask for?
    A second mouse button and a pricetag less than $1000. :p

  6. What? on McBride Says No More Lawsuits From SCO · · Score: 5, Funny

    SCO has a product and engineers to maintain it? When the hell? I thought they were just a group of ninja-attack lawyers based out of a defunct Taco Bell store owned by a Microsoft operative . . . . .

  7. Re:um. on Telstra Used Linux To Get Microsoft Discounts · · Score: 1
    As an American who had a Telstra phone magically dispense with a $20 phone card for a ten minute call to the states, I'd be inclined to second that hatred. ;)


    Still, you're right. It's not like they did anything weird here. Telstra threatens to fire Microsoft, Microsoft lowers their bid. Capitalism.

  8. Re: Yay! on Slackware 10.0 Officially Released · · Score: 1

    I'll believe it because it's just too adorable to attack.
    Also, if it's true it means that the only class of women capable of ever loving me is real . . . . .

  9. Re:The Hidden Data... on iTMS Europe: 800,000 Tracks In A Week · · Score: 5, Funny

    You have just dragged a song out of my memory that I thought I had ordered deleted and banished years ago. I hate you and I hope you die.

  10. Um . . . on Rowing the Pond Again · · Score: 1

    Sharks don't live in the north atlantic you insensitive clod, er, dolt!

  11. How long before . . . . . on Mechanical Computing · · Score: 2, Funny

    . . . . Linux gets ported to steampunk arcitecture?

  12. Re:Cone of Silence? More like cone of annoyance. on Directed Sound · · Score: 1

    For us engineery/hackery types it'll actually be kind of an adventure. It'll be an arms race between our noise-cancellation technology and the advertisers' ever more advanced yap-up technology.
    Or, we can just wear headphones to drown out the idiocy . . . .

  13. Of course I have a plan . . . . on What Happens To Your Data When You Die? · · Score: 2, Funny

    My data knows exactly what to do when I die. Oh my yes. Ever vigelant it stands waiting for word that I am no longer living. When that day come you will know. You will all know. MWHAHAHAHA!!!

  14. Video?! on Wi-Fi in the Sky · · Score: 5, Funny

    Will they ever learn? Anything but plain text fed to ./ will turn your server into a heap of molten destruction. . . . .

  15. Our government may be corrupt and evil . . . . . on Robosaurus · · Score: 4, Funny

    . . . . . but damnit, if you give me 40 foot robodroids you've given me enough!

  16. Prior Art: on Microsoft Patents Timed Button Presses · · Score: 1

    Smoke detector test.

  17. Snow Crash on Military Develops Liquid Body Armor · · Score: 5, Interesting

    "sintered armorgel: feels like gritty jello, protects like a stack of telephone books."

  18. Re:improving short-term working memory on Brain's Cache Memory Found · · Score: 1

    My short-term memory sucks. The workaround I use to solve complex problems is simply to think more slowly. Judging from the fact that I find scraps of problems in my long-term memory sometimes I think my brain is caching back to there and then purging back out later.

  19. Old News on Futurama: Can it be True!? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    CGEF carried this over a month ago. At the time it was considered a case of "overenthusiastic editor." It still is as far as I'm concerned.
    I'll believe it when there's an announcement from Fox.

  20. Jack Rabbit on Off Grid Via Slow Moving River? · · Score: 1

    This thing is the only applicable product that I've ever seen.

  21. Re:Pico? on New Windows Vulnerability in Help System · · Score: 1

    Hey, you can be a real hacker and use pico! I'll prove it, er, as soon as I'm a real hacker . . . . .

  22. Re:DRM shouldn't matter for Public Radio! on Real Problems · · Score: 1

    Who said you need to record it to capture it?

    "mplayer thing.rm -ao pcm -aofile thing.wav". Bam. Works great.

  23. The order of the dotted slash! on 500 EURO reward for finding car by finding laptop · · Score: 1

    * Imagines an international orginization of crime-fighting nerds recovering stolen Linux boxen and cars with clever 802.11g hacks . . . . . . *

  24. Re:...and the whole thing is over!? on IBM Files For Declaratory Judgement In SCO Case · · Score: 1

    In your SCO-is-Vader cosmology, who's Jar Jar Binks?

    Hmm. Annoying, stupid, helpless and slightly dangerous . . . . .

    Cary Sherman?

  25. Re:The underlying problem... on The Subtle Tyranny Of Spreadsheets · · Score: 1, Funny

    * Clutches Matlab and mumbles. *
