  1. Re:Funniest ATM theft I've heard of on Flash Mob Steals $9 Million From ATMs · · Score: 1

    This would have made a funny Corner Gas episode IMHO.

  2. Wow, that's pretty cool on Nanotube Memory Finally Beats Flash For Speed · · Score: 5, Informative

    Call me back when it's available at Costco for 100$ per Terabyte.

  3. Dear fliers-posting malware authors on Malware Spreading Via ... Windshield Fliers? · · Score: 4, Funny

    I don't have a car, you insensitive clod!

  4. Fortunately on Discovery Launch Delayed Due To Engine Issue · · Score: 1

    You guys have been keeping count on the horsepower of the shuttle engines.

    The trouble now, I guess, is to get 500,000 horses and attach them to Discovery.

  5. Games sold via iTunes? on Legal Trouble For MMOs In Australia · · Score: 1

    Is there even a rating system available when someone sells a game via the iTunes Store? Are all iPhone/iPod touch game developpers world-wide targeted for lawsuits from the Australian government?!

  6. Re:6 versions? on MS Confirms Six Different Versions of Windows 7 · · Score: 5, Funny

    Nope. 6 x 7 = 42.

    It's all making sense now.

  7. Re:Why? on MS Confirms Six Different Versions of Windows 7 · · Score: 1

    How about "Microsoft is just too big a company to even know what it's doing anymore"?

  8. Re:Starter Edition on MS Confirms Six Different Versions of Windows 7 · · Score: 1

    Not to mention that "ony three programs" makes no sense whatsoever. Running iTunes, Microsoft Word and Firefox isn't the same as running WordPad, Calculator and Solitaire.

  9. Re:Link? on Comcast Apologizes For Super Bowl Porn Glitch · · Score: 1

    I googled "Porn" and nothing came up.

    You're doing it wrong (somehow).

  10. Re:How we would treat 'sub-humans' on Human-Animal Hybrids Fail · · Score: 1

    And confusing. Did he mean "I want my monkey, man!" or "I want my monkey-man!"?

  11. Re:US and Canada? on Apple's Terms No Longer Allow ITMS Purchases Outside of US · · Score: 4, Informative

    No idea, but it's something you don't have to worry about if you get your media from other sources that don't keep on putting up artificial barriers...

  12. Re:Quick someone register itunesproxy.com on Apple's Terms No Longer Allow ITMS Purchases Outside of US · · Score: 3, Funny

    Even better, someone register itunes.apple.com, quick!

  13. PDF Reader on Mac OS X? on FSFE Launches Free PDF Readers Campaign · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Unless you haven't used a (somewhat recent) Mac recently, you'd know that you don't need a PDF reader on Mac OS X. The OS itself can open, print and print to PDF directly.

    On OS X 10.5, if I press [Space] while I have a PDF document selected in Finder it displays it nearly instantly.

    So unless I'm missing something obvious, installing a PDF reader on Mac OS X seems pointless to me.

  14. Re:Solved? on New Paper Offers Additional Reasoning for Fermi's Paradox · · Score: 1

    Nope, but Tricia Helfer and Jeri Ryan are in the dream for some reason.

  15. Re:only humans think in this way on New Paper Offers Additional Reasoning for Fermi's Paradox · · Score: 1

    Says the Ferengi.

  16. Re:Solved? on New Paper Offers Additional Reasoning for Fermi's Paradox · · Score: 2, Funny

    I don't know why, but I keep having this dream about "six times seven", whatever that means.

  17. Re:Solved? on New Paper Offers Additional Reasoning for Fermi's Paradox · · Score: 1

    How about we build an hyperspace bypass near their home planet? They'd have to move somewhere else, right?

  18. WMF on All Korea To Have 1Gbps Broadband By 2012? · · Score: 1

    WMF: Weapons of Mass Flooding.

  19. Nintendo did it on Apple Planning Video-Call iPhone · · Score: 4, Informative

    See the new Nintendo DSi for a good example:
    - hi-res camera in the rear for taking pictures
    - low-res camera in the front for video conferencing (given the resolution of the Nintendo DSi, even a 0.3 megapixel camera is completely overkill)

  20. Earth to businesses on Making the "Free" Business Model Work In a Tough Economy · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Yes, free can beat not free. Can't argue with that.

    You have to realise, however, that sometimes it's not the fact that it's free, it's the fact that's it's available at all.

    Pirates don't care about international borders, different launch dates for different countries, how old the content is, etc, etc.

    If you want to sell your content, don't build artificial borders that prevents us from buying it.

    As an example: how long has the iTunes store been running? Why can't the labels tear sell their content to everyone on the planet? It's your own mess of contracts and licenses, figure it out for yourselves and leave us out of it.

  21. Re:Just plain silly on Retailer Planning Laptops With Intel Core i7 Chips · · Score: 5, Funny

    The laptop is 12 pounds: two pounds for the laptop, ten pounds for the batteries.

  22. Re:Hmmmmm on More Indications Windows 7 Is Coming In 2009 · · Score: 1

    Dude, you really, really should upgrade your version of Windows at home. Windows 98SE is much more stable.

  23. They learn to read online? on Learning To Read With Click and Jane · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Aye tink day will bee find.

  24. Re:BUILD YOUR OWN on The "Bloody Mess" That Is Intel's Poulsbo Driver · · Score: 2, Informative
  25. Re:Snow Leopard on Windows 7 To Skip Straight To a Release Candidate · · Score: 1

    It's not about how much they spend, it's about the size of the marketing budget vs the R&D budget.

    But yeah, it could be the opposite, i.e. Apple's the one putting more money into marketing than R&D, though given the results, I'd still choose Apple anyway.
