    Besides, if it knew what I really wanted, everything would just end up having tits.

    George: Right now, I sit around pretending that I'm busy.
    Jerry: How do you pull that off?
    George: I always look annoyed. Yeah, when you look annoyed all the time, people think that you're busy. Think about it... [puts on an annoyed face]
    Elaine: Yeah, you do! He looks very busy!
    Jerry: Yeah, he looks busy! Yeah!
    George: I know what I'm doin.' In fact Mr. Wilhelm gave me one of those little stress dolls. All right, back to work. [puts on the annoyed face]

    What is it with that Nintendo 64 James Bond game? People keep bringing it up like it was a revolution or something.

    Ever heard of Castle Wolfenstein, Doom or Quake?

    Just because something is popular doesn't mean it's good. It just means it's popular.

    He would get a lot more money if his project used open source cloud crowdsourcing 2.0.

    Forget HDMI on the iPhone that's insane.

    Why do you think Apple released their own "mini DisplayPort" standard? Try to fit a DisplayPort, erm, port at the bottom of the iPhone. Doesn't fit. Now try with a mini DisplayPort.

  15. Re:Good luck with that on Chrome OS Designed To Start Microsoft Death Spiral · · Score: 1

    I have a PowerBook G4 and a Mac mini Core 2 Duo myself, however that 15" is for someone I know and a MacBook is three times as much as the maximum budget.

    A laptop with a 15" screen for 300$US? What model and where? The cheapest 15" I can find at the moment in Canada is around 400$CAD, which is 370$US. Granted 70$US isn't much but relative to the price of the machine it's a huge difference.

  22. Re:Hello alternative media on Murdoch Says, "We'll Charge For All Our Sites" · · Score: 5, Funny

    I get all my news and rumors from a little unknown website called "slashdot".

    The news are always fresh, they never repeat their news and the views of the editors are impartial, especially to corporations like Microsoft and Apple. They also have a moderation system that is so brilliantly designed that it cannot be messed with, even by monsters known as "trolls".

    Oh, did I mention they never repeat their news?

  23. Re:What a nice gift to progressives on Murdoch Says, "We'll Charge For All Our Sites" · · Score: 1

    You couldn't block other sources that get their information from you and then Murdoch takes from them, making your IP blocking useless.

    What you need to do is make specific typos and mistakes in the text, weird sentence structures, etc. If nobody corrects them when copying your text then you'll have proof that they ripped-off from you. I'm not sure how solid that proof would be if it's for legal reasons, but still that's better than blocking IPs IMHO.
