  1. Say on Bring Home the Biotech Bacon · · Score: 0

    You don't work for the Loser Research Foundation, do you?

  2. What a coincidence on Swedish Mathematician Lennart Carleson Wins Abel · · Score: 0

    This guy Carleson helped create the iPod and his brother, Arthur, ran a radio station in Cincinatti.
    What're the odds on that?

  3. Re:not a gravitational field on First Steps Toward Artificial Gravity · · Score: 0

    "levitation fields"

    This was the first thing I thought of...if you can 'attract' something, then some variant of polarization should cause a 'repelling'.
    If true, we might get Land Speeders after all.

  4. Re:classic managment mistake on 60% Of Windows Vista Code To Be Rewritten · · Score: 0

    Get 3 women pregnant? Where do I sign up?

    Oh, and uh, are they HOTTTT?!?!?

  5. Re:Will this make anyone look at OpenOffice.org? on Office Delayed, Too · · Score: 0

    I know it's a pig, that's not my point. The point is two groups of people are answering the exact same set of questions and it would make sense to better utilize resources.
    Then things like memory management might get improved.

  6. Re:Will this make anyone look at OpenOffice.org? on Office Delayed, Too · · Score: 0

    What about NeoOffice?
    It's nice to have choice, but two groups working on the same thing seems kind of wasteful.

  7. Re:40$ for Kong? on Download-to-own Films Coming Soon · · Score: 1, Informative

    Ah no, they had to anticipate the new tier AT&T / Verizon surcharges into consideration when setting their pricing. I'm sure 'ma bell is going to want her cut of this too ..

    Aren't AT&T/Verizon == Ma Bell?

    Blasphemer.

  9. Re:It's just an OS on GoDaddy.com Dumps Linux for Microsoft · · Score: 0

    Are you building applications or answers?

  10. Re:The Alienware slogan... on It's Official Dell Acquired Alienware · · Score: 0

    Few folks remember the electrical problems Jags had before the Ford acquisition. We had a family friend with one who carried a fire extinguisher 'just in case'.

  11. Re:Gael was not fired. on Slashback: ODF Wars, Duval Layoff, French DRM · · Score: 0

    I would have kicked his ass...

    You talk tough behind that keyboard...basking in the green glow.

  12. Re:What this means, and why it's a problem on Supreme Court Declines to Hear Obscenity Case · · Score: 1

    This means that since the Internet can bring material into all communities at once, all the sex-o-phobic Feds have to do is file obscenity charges from the most conservative community in America. Bingo! It's obscene to them, and therefore it's obscene and can be banned.

    Yes, no internet for them.

  13. Re:The Supreme Court takes a step forward. on Supreme Court Declines to Hear Obscenity Case · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Supreme Court +1

    This is what happens when you get a Republican controlled bench - laws that make sense and the Federal government out of your hair.

    And to your next question...yes, I do fully expect the groupthink to rise up and mod me into oblivion, thankyouverymuch.

  14. Re:Shhhh!!! on Dismantling the Myth of IT Being a Dead-End Career · · Score: 1

    That's all well and good but the best counter argument to management is not increase talent pool or taking one for the team (country) but that in offshore endeavors, if you don't have good project management skills, i.e. real tech understanding of what it takes to 'get things done', then your project is toast.

    My current org is finding this out the hard way. I suspect others are as well.

  15. Re:Internet Stalking 101 on IRS to Allow Tax Preparers to Sell Your Info? · · Score: 3, Funny

    So you're a 'Native American' too, eh?
    It was the best answer.

  16. Re:fence-straddlers? on MS Announces Open XML Formats Developer Group · · Score: 1

    There's also a possible tax break, of course.

    I can't tell you how many folks said this was going to happen when they heard the tax credit issue raised.

  17. Re:They don't work on Building a Better Tin Foil Hat · · Score: 1

    At least I know I can trust you to tell me the truth...oh, wait.

  18. Re:This is all throughout the scientific community on Rewriting Environmental Science · · Score: 1

    Do you find it ironic that this guy the Administration is 'shutting up' is doing a 60 Minutes piece?
    Boy, that Bush. Really keeping the scientists quiet.

  19. Re:Mankind does not belong to Man on Rewriting Environmental Science · · Score: 1

    What you may need to be an evil genius to do is to come up with a good solution, because this problem looks intractable in a free society.

    Thus are born the seeds of Socialism...doing what's right for us regardless of the cost to us.

  20. Re:Transparent? on World's First Completely Transparent IC · · Score: 1

    Something tells me that putting an IC in between two pieces of clear, non-breathable laminate will result in toasted ICs.
    I'm no engineer, but that one seems fairly obvious.

  21. Re:Probably the worst beginner's distribution on Fedora Core 5 Available · · Score: 1

    This reminds me of when Slackware jumped from Version 4 to Version 7 so it didn't look like they were lagging behind.

  22. Re:Great idea on Open Source R&D Tax Credit? · · Score: 1

    I think the last thing we need is another tax cut for the rich.

  23. Re:Actually. . . on FAA Grants RSC Status to Linux-Friendly RTOS · · Score: 2, Informative

    Actually, anagrams are when you create a word or words out of another word or words' letters.

  24. Re:Mythology, lol on Microsoft Releases Atlas · · Score: 1

    Some of us just shrug, though.

  25. Re:google ads versus others on The State of Online Advertising · · Score: 2, Funny

    At the risk of sounding obvious...why don't you advertise other pr0n sites? Wouldn't that pay better and you wouldn't have to worry about 'objectionable' material?

    BTW, is 'ass heat' a measurable phenomena?
