  1. Re:But we have Powerbooks, right? on Don't Talk To Aliens, Warns Stephen Hawking · · Score: 2, Funny

    There's a small problem with your plan. Of the two PowerBook Wall Street G3 avaiable on eBay, the first one is complete; however , it does not work, and the seller has no idea what the problems are. It could have multiple issues. And the second one is also complete; however it does not work and the seller also has no idea what the problems are. It could have multiple issues. Obviously the keyboard is bad.

    We're doomed!

    Dooooooooooomed!!!!!*

    I imagine they might exist in massive ships, having used up all the resources from their home planet.

    If they used up all the resources from their home planet, how could they build their massive ships?

    Hey, you already have enough money. Stop posting that request everywhere.

  5. Re:But, but..."all Sony standards fail" on The End of the 3.5-inch Floppy Continues · · Score: 1

    You can add the Memory Stick to that list. It's not a failure as such, but why did Sony create their own memory media standard when there was already too many options on the market? Same thing goes for the xD-Picture Card of Fujifilm and Olympus.

  6. Obligatory Seinfeld Quote on Economy Tanked While Government Surfed Porn · · Score: 2, Funny

    Mr. Lippman: It's come to my attention that you and the cleaning woman have engaged in sexual intercourse on the desk in your office. Is that correct?
    George Costanza: Who said that?
    Mr. Lippman: She did.
    George Costanza: [pause] Was that wrong? Should I not have done that? I tell you, I gotta plead ignorence on this thing, because if anyone had said anything to me at all when I first started here that that sort of thing is frowned upon... you know, cause I've worked in a lot of offices, and I tell you, people do that all the time.
    Mr. Lippman: You're fired!
    George Costanza: Well, you didn't have to say it like that.

    Unless I'm missing a tiny detail, recent PowerPC Macs are supported up to OS X 10.4. If my 12" Powerbook G4 can run it, I really don't know why your PowerMac G5 couldn't.

  15. A4, PA Semi, what? on Google Acquires Chip Maker Startup Agnilux · · Score: 1

    Are you telling me that Apple bought PA Semi in April 2008, the formerly PA Semi team designed the A4 and then they left Apple to start their own company which Google bought right away?

  16. Re:Gotta love... on Extremists Warn South Park Creators Over Muhammad In a Bear Suit · · Score: 2, Interesting

    As an example, the guy who started FSM has a collection of threatening, angry letters posted on his site.

    And rightfully so! It is heresy to teach about anything else than the IPU!

  17. If anyone is going through their stack right now on True Tales of Tech Hoarding · · Score: 1

    Please be on the lookout for this old soundcard (Innovation SSI 2001), as well as AdLib Gold (or its echo/reverb modules), anything by Covox (especially Sound Master 1, Speech Thing), Roland (MT-32, CM-32L, CM-64, LAPC-1), and the old Creative Game Blaster.

    I'd buy the SSI 2001 and AdLib Gold modules, the rest should still be a pretty easy sell on eBay.

    If you have anything that can be classified as "Sound Blaster or compatible", it's not worth anything unless of course you want to use it yourself in an old system to play old games.

  18. Re:You call that hoarding? on True Tales of Tech Hoarding · · Score: 1

    I have a wife, and she is the opposite of a hoarder: she's a compulsive thrower-outer. If you can't justify its existence, it's gone.

    Possible replies:

    1. Make a list of all her clothes and shoes and when she wears any of them. If she ever wants to throw something away, tell her she hasn't used clothes/shoes x in y days and that therefore she should throw those out.

    2. How long before you're thrown away? /duck

    3. Don't ever tell her you don't want kids!!!
