  1. Re:how are harry potter fanfics improved writing? on Kids Improve Writing Online · · Score: 1

    Tax-exempt status for geeky endeavors is old. The Klingon Language Institute is a registered non-profit oranization.

  2. Re:It's all coming true! on Kids Improve Writing Online · · Score: 1

    Hey, I get that. Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card, a way underrated Scifi writer. Goddamn am I feeling nerdy right now.

  3. Since SCO is blocked... on Grokster/Morpheus Hearing Recap · · Score: 0, Funny

    SCO.com is blocked by Google as a top result for "Litigious Bastards", I have a viable alternative:

    Litigious Bastards.

  4. Re:near-first post on From Silicon To Microprocessors · · Score: 0, Troll

    in thrid-woirld countries like korea and germany

    Germany is not a third world country! Places like Elbonia are third world countries, where their "computers" are actually Game Boys with 56k modems.

  5. Ant reference on The Swarmbots Are Coming · · Score: 5, Informative

    Mute Filesharing is one of the projects talking about ant technology, with a pretty thorough description of how they use AntTech.

  6. Re:This is very important to me on Decode Your Barcode, Get Your Personal Info · · Score: 1

    Too much crap in the basement. Radio and TV reception are still poor.

  7. This is very important to me on Decode Your Barcode, Get Your Personal Info · · Score: 5, Funny

    Well, it would be, if I didn't live in my parent's attic and if I did actually have a driver's license.

  8. SCO Joke on Netcraft Jokes About SCO's Virus Fears · · Score: 1

    What do SCO's Product and Leader have in common? They're both UNIX (eunuchs).

  9. Closing SMTP's on FTC vs. Open Relays, round 2 · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    So this means that it's going to be harder for me to spoof emails, and that I *might* get a little less spam than I do already. Um, yay?

  10. Re:But seriously . . . on FBI Agent Talks Crime, Macs · · Score: 1

    No, we need to weed the "weaker sisters" out of the internet. Curse user friendliness!

  11. Better alternative on FBI Agent Talks Crime, Macs · · Score: 2, Funny

    SCO flavored UNIX. If the law enforcement people are in any way technologically literate, they'll just assume you're "some idiot" and leave you alone.

  12. Re:Imitation is the highest form of flattery? on Comcast Targets Internet "Abusers" · · Score: 1

    As soon as I saw a +5 post by an AC, I figured it was plagarized. It's happened to me before elsewhere, but an email to someone got it straightened out.

  13. So IE has another bug... on Another Serious MSIE Hole · · Score: 1

    What else is new? Why do people insist on using Internet Explorer when there are better alternatives elsewhere?

  14. Re:off-topic note on Today's Windows Virus - MyDoom / Novarg · · Score: 1

    No it doesn't. I just get a "The document contains no data" message. Oh. Right.

    I'm doing what I can to help take out those litigious bastards.

  15. More to come on Part of Patriot Act Ruled Unconstitutional · · Score: 1

    If someone can rule it unconstitutional and not be labeled a terrorist, then more rulings against this are in the future.

  16. They've had technology like this... on Yamaha Releases Singing Synthesis Software · · Score: 1

    There's Sprectrasonic's Symphony of voices, which is recordings of voices singing, (in the song Sonne, by Rammstein). It's not the same thing; it has Oooh's and Ahhh's, but not actual words, although that seems to be the logical next step.

  17. And they're still in business... how? on Darl & SCO Overview · · Score: 4, Interesting

    "Filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission show that SCO posted hundreds of millions in losses from 1994 to 2002."

    Only a company like AOL could do that and stay in business.

  18. It's a Trap! on Bill Gates to be Knighted · · Score: 2, Funny

    She's going to take the opportunity when she's got a sword on his shoulder, to lop off his head. I don't feel like stopping it ;).

  19. I'd love to see them... on Stores Use Discount Cards To Notify Of Recall · · Score: 0

    ...try and send a recall to "Mike Rotch" who lives on 666 South 69th street.

    Working at a food store, I get all sorts of people's cards every day, and I know from all these discussions I've had with my bosses etc. that we collect the data to not be linked with the consumer's name and only to track general trends and market data. Only this and nothing more.

  20. Re:How geniuses come to be on Justin Frankel On AOL, Subverting The Status Quo · · Score: 0

    I "cut my teeth" on an Apple IIGS, back in kindergarten. Yes, I learned how to do rudimentary programming in kindergarten, I kid you not. Geeks, this is an important message: send your geeklings to a private school!

  21. I look forward to this on Commercials Come To The Net (After This Word) · · Score: 0

    These sites are going to have their traffic drop, bandwidth costs increase, and people the people that still use those pages are going to start switching over to the first browser that circumvents the ads. And if you need MSIE and WMP, then I'm going to check out their "guarantee" with a linux box. Maybe their guarantees only work for the people who use AOL.

  22. This isn't about money... on Israel v. Microsoft, Next Round · · Score: 0

    This is about honor. If MS loses the contract with Israel, other nations could fall in a "Domino Effect" and then we'd have a world full of free software and communism.

  23. A workable alternative on Is WiFi Access Worth $10/hour? · · Score: 0

    Wardriving is free, or even profitable if you locate the server, knock on their door, and ask for consulting fees to secure their wireless router.

  24. Re:You don't trust Microsoft to evaluate Windows.. on Putting Linux Reliability to the Test · · Score: 0

    We would trust Microsoft if they didn't have a history of being satan.

  25. Another safe move... on MUTE: Simple, Private File Sharing · · Score: 0

    To keep the Recording Industry Association of America ("RIAA") off your back, try moving to Canada.
