    Or you can do it all with the Proxomitron

  3. Re:New Tron on 3D, FPS File Manager · · Score: 1

    While the BOFH really did allow beancounters to play Doom for a chance to save their files, the BGFH did something very similar to the original program stated in the article.

  4. I knew spam was bad.. on Google's Gmail To Offer 1GB E-mail Storage? · · Score: 1

    But filling 1GB with it? That's going to suck.

    Well, I did post this while sitting on a bag of rice...

  9. Well on Would You Like Drugs in Your Rice? · · Score: 1

    If they're willing to grow it in secure environments far away from me, then it's all nice and good. However, if they grow it within a 5000 mile radius of my rice, there's gunna be some hurtin'.

  10. Re:Year of Linux on HP Starts Pushing Desktop Linux · · Score: 5, Funny

    Oddly enough, I think this is going to be the year of people stating: "I think this is going to be the Year of Linux"

  11. Re:This story seems suspiciously like... on Need a Job? Move to India · · Score: 1

    And this one...

  12. Re:Programmer, get thee to a lawyer! on Nintendo Patents Handheld Emulation, Cracks Down · · Score: 4, Informative

    I don't think there are any freeware Game Boy Advance games in circulation yet.
    Think again.

  13. Re:Backup Copies on Nintendo Patents Handheld Emulation, Cracks Down · · Score: 1
    Do you have a ROM dumper lying around? If not, you really can't copy any cartridge based game yourself.

    Of course, you can always exercise your fair use rights by downloading a backup copy, but they seem to want to keep you from doing that.

  14. Exchange rate? on Did HP Defraud the Canadian Government? · · Score: 4, Funny

    $160 million in software, hardware, and labour
    So after the exchange rate, what's that in moose?

    Yeah, Homer had a dream about drinking the gas at a alcohol based gas station (One for me; one for the car; one for me and so on) after seeing a very small alcohol fueled car.

  17. Re:Doesn't really strike a chord with me, nope. on The Oft Frustrating Job of a Sysadmin · · Score: 2, Funny

    Yes, it may help relations somewhat, but acting like the BOFH will often cure the problem of ignorance quickly and posthumously.

  18. Re:Works in the lab, never in reality. on Legislators Looking At Peer to Peer Monitor · · Score: 5, Insightful

    And what about those open source and non-American filesharing programs? Are these folks going to be ecstatic to add this wonderful DRM type technology to their programs? I really doubt it...

  19. Re:stephen lost on Famous Hawking Black Hole Bet Resolved? · · Score: 1

    He may have to do another album just about his loss.

  20. You know... on Audit Finds Problems with ISS Management · · Score: 5, Interesting

    For something so complicated as rocket science, they really need to work at double checking their work.
    Heck, in the last while we've heard of Challenger breaking apart, a space suit malfunction and a faulty file system on the Mars probe. However, it must be noted that they almost always figure out the problem, afterwards.

  21. Disruption/delay tolerant networking... on Vint Cerf's Disruption-Tolerant Networking · · Score: 4, Funny

    ...is all nice and fine, but disruption/delay tolerant people, those are a rarity.

    Yep, he did not fondle any donkeys. The Ministry of Education, perhaps, but no donkeys.

  23. Re:Article Text, Site Slow on China Plans Domestic Software Quotas · · Score: 2, Funny

    CEO Steve Ballmer visited last November and fondled donkeys with the Ministry of Education to provide $10 million to promote computer use in schools.
    Should read:
    CEO Steve Ballmer visited last November and signed an agreement with the Ministry of Education to provide $10 million to promote computer use in schools.
    But what's the difference?
