    That ending would be so funny for a fan-made X-Files-style movie.

    Which is fine if all you have is a monochromatic view of the world.

    One idea to make their websites more transparent would be to use 32-bit PNGs.

    I think you'll be dissapointed.

    Turns out Area 51 was the dump site for all those unsold Atari 2600 E.T. game carts.

  8. Re:Well, screw Britannica on Britannica Goes After Wikipedia and Google · · Score: 1

    Could be a publicity stunt for a hard drive company though.

    "The new Western Digital 1TB Wikipedia Model". 1TB of storage, with the whole of Wikipedia on it. (don't pay attention to the fact that there's ~350GB of that 1TB used by Wikipedia files, thank you).

    That's because Hoover sucks

  10. Re:Well, screw Britannica on Britannica Goes After Wikipedia and Google · · Score: 1

    And if I could edit my post I would replace "the Hitchhiker's Guide" by "Wikipedia".

  11. Well, screw Britannica on Britannica Goes After Wikipedia and Google · · Score: 5, Funny

    In many of the more relaxed civilizations on the Outer Eastern Rim of the Galaxy, the Hitchhiker's Guide has already supplanted the great Encyclopaedia Britannica as the standard repository of all knowledge and wisdom, for though it has many omissions and contains much that is apocryphal, or at least wildly inaccurate, it scores over the older, more pedestrian work in two important respects.

    First, it is slightly cheaper; and second, it has the words DON'T PANIC inscribed in large friendly letters on its cover.

    Ok, but which one is Alien and which one is Predator?

    Too bad Netcraft just confirmed that desktop computers are dying.

    I think the real problem is pixels recycling. Does Windows 7 implement that feature or not?

  15. Re:Duh on Is Microsoft Improving Its Image? · · Score: 1

    The real problem is, I keep seeing more and more posts that do this.

    And since it's posted as AC, you can never know if:
    - it's really person XYZ posting AC
    - an AC posting shit and pointing to a user account of somebody they don't like.

  16. Duh on Is Microsoft Improving Its Image? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Windows XP = lean
    Windows Vista = fat
    Windows 7 = leaner than Vista = Windows XP

    Or so people keep saying (about XP and Vista).

    Back to square one?

    Wow, these guys are still alive?!

    Ok then, we want new Space Quest games!!!

  18. CSS Sprites on The ASP.NET Code Behind Whitehouse.gov · · Score: 1

    The author states that CSS sprites are "somewhat involved to implement". Unless you're really new to CSS, it's very easy to do.

    What I find sad is the poor choice of image formats, i.e. all the graphics of the blue border should have been in 24-bit PNG, not JPEG.

    I do applaud them for having clean URLs. Most of them anyway.

  23. Re:Doesn't need to be a spaceship on The Science and Physics of Back To the Future · · Score: 1

    There isn't one universe either. There is only ALL universes all at once. Every moment of time is itself a whole different universe. The long and short of what this means is that the incredibly big universe we know becomes far bigger than anything we can possibly comprehend. The universe multiplied times itself. Not 2 x 2 = 4. Everything x Everything = there's no word for it. Infinity is not infinite enough.

    So what you're saying is.... buffer overflow?

    The other interesting thing is that, if you take for granted that humans are the only intelligent beings in the universe (let's assume that for a fact just for the fun of it), then time travel doesn't exists yet. However, as soon as we discover it and make something to travel through time and space (Tardis style), then it will always been available, so to speak.

    Make that brain overflow.

    Well, iTunes and Safari of course! It comes pre-installed on all Macs.... oh wait. Don't mention that part to the EU.

    Also don't tell them that Firefox and XMMS are programs installed by default on some Linux Distros.
