  1. Re:How many.... on Digital Future of the Library of Congress · · Score: 0, Troll

    That would be the point... I've been a user here since 1999, and while quips and jokes are amusing, memes like "hot grits" and such are really just noise.

  2. Re:Definition of portable on A History of Portable Computing · · Score: 1

    Bingo.

  3. Re:UTP doesn't have shielding! on 1.4mm Thick Gigabit Ethernet Cable · · Score: 1

    Your cable will be bought out by Apple? (Yes, I know what near end cross talk is...)

  4. Irony? on Torvalds Switches to a Mac · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Yeah, because doing that wouldn't be pretentious at all...

  5. Re:Not that big of a deal on Windows 2003 and XP SP2 Vulnerable To LAND Attack · · Score: 1

    That is quite possibly the worst comparison I've ever read in my life.

  6. RTF film description on MS-DOS Paternity Dispute Goes to Court · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The book / film is about American inventors / innovators / corporate moguls for the last 200 years. Microsoft is in there because, like it or not, their OS has been the predominate one over the last 20 years. The book also discuss things like the steam engine and modern banking. Stop being an ass and find something useful to complain about, like how the book claim this guy's work underlies "every computer application today".

  10. Re:battlefield on The Cure for Cancer Might be: HIV · · Score: 1

    I'm sorry, I missed the part where the article said HIV-based treatment (or any other treatment) would be any more mandatory than chemo. Could you point it out?

  11. Re:Instead of OS X... on iPod Shuffle RAID · · Score: 4, Funny

    can I mod you "not hugged enough as a kid"?

  12. Ghost in the Machine? on Household Emergent Behavior? · · Score: 1

    There is no political solution To our troubled evolution Have no faith in constitution There is no bloody revolution We are spirits in the material world Are spirits in the material world Are spirits in the material world Are spirits in the material world Our so-called leaders speak With words they try to jail you The subjugate the meek But it's the rhetoric of failure We are spirits in the material world Are spirits in the material world Are spirits in the material world Are spirits in the material world Where does the answer lie? Living from day to day If it's something we can't buy There must be another way We are spirits in the material world Are spirits in the material world Are spirits in the material world Are spirits in the material world

  13. Re:Cube? on Top 10 Apple Flops · · Score: 2, Interesting

    The only thing wrong with the cube was the price. The cube should have been what the mini mac is now: a low priced gateway to the platform. Instead it was a really cool piece of hardware the reinforced the "Macs cost more" stereotype...

    I'm a robot, you insensitive clod!

  22. Re:Right. on Netscape 7.2 To Be Released August 3rd · · Score: 2, Insightful

    How about version 4.0, where they re-wrote nearly the entire suite (this was the first of the "Communicator" suites). For me, that was first release that took a step in the wrong direction in terms of bloat and speed, and I had been using Navigator since v.1.1.

  23. more classic blunders... on Early Tiger Benchmarks Show Slight Speed-Ups · · Score: 1, Insightful
