  1. Broad Patents on Google Awarded Broad Patent For Location-Based Advertising · · Score: 0

    Broad Patents suck.

    That is all.

  2. Re:Finally! on Communities of Mutants Form as DNA Testing Grows · · Score: 0

    you & the other Hummer drivers may, in fact, be suffering from SPS

  3. Budget cuts on Florida Literally Scraps Touch-Screen Voting · · Score: 0
    Way to go, State Government. Drastically cut budgets across the board then throw $20 million out the window.

    That makes perfect sense

  4. Re:Waste of effort on Robots Teach Autistic Kids Social Skills · · Score: 0
    This is possibly the most insensitive thing I've ever read.

    Autistic people are capable of development and many go on to lead productive, relatively normal lives.

    Anything that aids in the development of an afflicted human mind or body is A-Ok in my book.

  5. Album Art Search Engine on Google Launches Google Music · · Score: 0

    Yay! Now I won't have to look all over for album art images. Thanks google :)

  6. Snape kills Dumbledore on Amazon to Sell Books by Page, Display Books You Own · · Score: 0

    Now, not only can the haters spoil a twist like this, but they can have page 606 on hand for proof!

  7. Isn't it possible.. on Rat Cunning May Allow For Island Colonization · · Score: 0

    ..that the rat was eaten? Now, that's cunning: getten eaten to avoid scientific study

  8. Re:Too Much! on XBox 360 Launching Nov 22 · · Score: 0

    Look at the specs. I'd say the price is very reasonable for a system with those parts (even if it is closed and proprietary).

  9. Hey Gamers on Maps on Path to Mass Innovation · · Score: 0

    "GTA: World" anyone?

  10. Re:Get on those torrents on Knoppix 4.0 DVD - Like a Kid in a Candy Store · · Score: 0

    dl/ws (downloading will seed)

  11. First rule of Google's plan to take over the world on No Secret Plan at Google? · · Score: -1, Flamebait
    Don't talk about Google's plan to take over the world.

    In all seriousness, I expect to see more integration with the desktop (OSX Tiger?) as well as more services offered

  12. ZENworks on Anatomy of a Successful Enterprise Linux Distro? · · Score: 0

    Yesterday's thread about ZENworks looks like an interesting push forward for Novell.

  13. From the Hanging Chad Dept. on Study Finds Windows More Secure Than Linux · · Score: 0

    Don't worry, Tux!
    You still have a chance with the subsequent recounts.

  14. Other uses on 18 Live Linux CDs -- In A Row · · Score: 1, Informative
    Linux LiveCD's are great for more that I've seen mentioned here:

    Disaster Recovery - I've become fond of the (R)ecovery (I)s (P)ossible Linux rescue system
    He even publishes a PXE image!

    Troubleshooting - To quickly determine if a problem is hardware or software related, boot from a LiveCD

    Highly customizable imaging and installation solutions

  15. mildly funny one on Best Wireless SSIDs You Have Seen? · · Score: 0

    TheGSpot -- it was 802.11g keke

  16. Re:Dual booting OS X? on Gentoo Linux Releases 2004.3 · · Score: 0
    Dual booting between OSX and Linux is easy. Yaboot is very flexible and is as easy to configure as grub/lilo.

    Of course, if you'd rather not reboot to use your favorite Apple apps., the MOL (Mac On Linux) project is phenomenal.

  17. Re:New PPC Live CD on Gentoo Linux Releases 2004.3 · · Score: 0

    For real though. There is much need for this update to the live cd for ppc32. Oh well...now it's offtopic. I guess being verbose would have scored more points around here. A lot of folks probably don't have much linux on mac (or mac on linux) experience.

  18. New PPC Live CD on Gentoo Linux Releases 2004.3 · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Booyah!
