  1. Re:slashdot is soooo dead on Play Random Sounds for E-Mail Notifications? · · Score: 1

    fark was a word before the site.

  2. Re:when DOS wasn't something evil... on What Are Your Favorite Computing Memories? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Prodigy...Ah yes. Played plenty of that slow ass 3d maze game on 1200 baud myself. That and the National Geographic page. The early nineties were a fun time.

  3. Re:Coming to America on Riot Control Ray-Gun for Use in Iraq · · Score: 1

    shotguns are also very not silent...

  4. Re:Old proverb on Can a Bayesian Spam Filter Play Chess? · · Score: 1

    Spam is close to a pig, but not too close...i'm pretty sure a pig could eat it without being cannibalistic...

  5. Re:A-ha! on Fold 'n' Drop Window Interaction · · Score: 1

    it also depends if you happen to be hanging by your ankles

  6. Re:Cool... on Elive Beta: Enlightenment Sans Commitment · · Score: 1

    I think enlightenment or blackbox are a great way to interpret the unix philosophy. X provides the method, the wm provides the method, and any panel/dock or file manager should be seperate. enlightenment provides an easy way to get to a CLI (ctrl/alt/insert) and everything else is accesible from there in unix fashion.

  7. Re:Obligatory fanboy comment on The GBA's Last Stand · · Score: 1

    the original Army Men game was 2D...still not fun.

  8. Re:Still a chance on The GBA's Last Stand · · Score: 1

    oh come on, i think no analogue stick is a better indication. The thing has plenty of buttons (6, plus a + pad), not to mention the touch screen, which could serve as several "vertual" buttons. In all seriousness i think it's possible but not likely.

  9. Re:Uh? What? on The GBA's Last Stand · · Score: 2, Funny

    not to mention why would they release another handheld so soon after releasing the DS...it seems like nobody can compete on the handheld market (the PSP is too high end to directly compete, even with the DS). I guess Nintendo wants to compete with themselves just for the challenge.

  10. Re:Still a chance on The GBA's Last Stand · · Score: 1

    i really think it'd be neat if they released a cart or firmware update to make the DS the new controller...

  11. Re:I would gladly pay on Optimus Keyboard With OLED Display Keys · · Score: 1

    If all of the keyboards are usb, there is a device that combines them, like /dev/usb/kbds or something. I have multiple USB mice set up, with xorg.conf pointing at /dev/mice and it works fine.

  12. Re:Something Familiar - Here to Help on Clinton To Take On Rockstar · · Score: 1

    yea, but you're looking at the world help the wrong way

    'Government Help == Bad' =~ s/Help/Censorship/;

    there ya go

  13. Re:Remember Lynx and Mosaic? on Remembering Netscape and The Birth of the Web · · Score: 1

    yep, just you.

  14. Re:Hm.. on Legal Music Downloads Increase in 2005 · · Score: 1

    Not to mention it's a stage name (after Jameson Whiskey)

  15. Re:Disappointed on The Floating PowerBook · · Score: 1

    let's see

    40 gig hard drive...cheap and small
    40 gigs of CF...expensive and bulky

    do the math

  16. Re:I want my 5 minutes back on The End of a Floppy Era · · Score: 1

    Zip drives are no more reliable than floppy disks, in fact less so IMHO

  17. Re:New Format on The End of a Floppy Era · · Score: 1

    not as bad as when they refer to their PC towers as "Hard Drives"

    I even had one client that referred to her Tower as "Monitor" and her monitor as "Screen"

  18. Re:Disappointed on The Floating PowerBook · · Score: 1

    yea, but wouldn't a magnetic field that strong fuck up the hard drive?

  19. Re:Game console requires a PC? on Nintendo Releasing Wireless Router for Revolution · · Score: 1

    I'm a member of that group, you insensitive clod!

  20. Re:One question about that 128K machine... on A Review of the 128KB Macintosh · · Score: 1

    Probably, but I wouldn't want to...

  21. Re:The Force is *retarded* with this one... on Britain's First Jedi Member of Parliament · · Score: 1

    Only until he loses it (anakins blue sabre) in The Empire Strikes Back and builds his (green) light sabre...

  22. Re:I turned them off immediately on Marketers Back "Cookies Are Good For You" Campaign · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Or keep them...

  23. Re:Weird.. on Google Maps Now Cover Whole World · · Score: 1

    of course you know that belgium doesn't exist...

  24. Re:Linux---great! But 'Linspire'? on Big Retailers Timid About Selling Linux Boxen · · Score: 1

    Are there really Linspire zealots? i've never heard of such a thing...

  25. Re:Linux-Knowledgeable Clerks? on Big Retailers Timid About Selling Linux Boxen · · Score: 1

    problem is, those jobs don't pay enough to be attractive to people who know their shit...
