  1. Re:Anybody else suprised at the high demand? on iPhone 4 Pre-Orders Wreaking Havoc On Apple Store · · Score: 1

    Evo looks sweet to me

    The phone is great, the strings strangle you. Take a closer look. You have no choices. It is locked to Sprint, unlike most phones, you can not just get an "unlock code" to use it with another carrier, the phone has to be reflashed and Sprint will not do that. You cant activate it on a carrier that provides much more reasonable and even pay-as-you-go pricing. Virgin Mobile and Boost (both companies used Sprints CDMA infrastructure and have been purchased by Sprint) refuse to activate an Evo on their network. You can not get a cheaper voice only contract from Sprint (the wifi works fine with my home access point even without being activated). You can only get a 2 year $80/month (+ all the unmentioned additional costs) contract, take it or leave it.
    How sweet (for Sprint).

  2. Cheap polyester on Set Free Your Inner Jedi (Or Pyro) · · Score: 1

    Cheap polyester... burns like tinder.

    Even worse. It MELTS.

  3. Re:no offense, but what a windows mentality on Volume Shadow Copy For Linux? · · Score: 1

    Yes, by not using AMANDA

    If only one could install it on Ubuntu 10.4 LTS, oh well maybe it will be fixed next quarter.

  4. Re:Interpret it correctly on Publishing Company Puts Warning Label on Constitution · · Score: 1

    It is also missing the part where it enumerates whether or not you to keep the paws as well or just the arms to the wrist joint.

  5. Remmeber .... on Yahoo Faces Questions After Discovery Of Comment Replication · · Score: 1

    What you see is not information, it's not even data, it's "news" and rarely related to anything important in the real world.

  6. Re:When I started here all there was was ash! on Giant Guatemalan 'Sinkhole' Is Worse Than We Thought · · Score: 1

    And she has HUGE tracts of piping features ... it just doesn't have the right ring (pipe ... ring, heh)

  7. Re:Empathy? on Giant Guatemalan 'Sinkhole' Is Worse Than We Thought · · Score: 2, Funny

    like anyone cares about someones dramatic loss of empathy.

    Peoples are lazy, that all.

    Hmmm, just cant seem to find the energy to rebut.

  9. Oblig Stargate on Blizzard vs. Glider Battle Resumes Next Week · · Score: 1

    If it ascends, would that restrict it from interfering with actions on the mortal plane, train or automobile? :P

  10. Re:The future should be Qt. on HTML5 vs. Flash — the Case For Flash · · Score: 1

    you can write your code that is executed by the browser

    I don't want code written by femtobrained marketdroids or cybersquating Riff-Raff (or even a well intentioned Polly Purebred http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sweet_Polly_Purebred) running on my machine. If you cant present me with the information I need in a Lynx compatible format, I ll go somewhere else. As useful as a rear-deck spoiler on a soccer-mom's Kia.

  11. Re: Re-hash on Theora Development Continues Apace, VP8 Now Open Source · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It'll be nice to get a rehash of yesterday's arguments.

    Let me get this straight. Old is not necessarily good and new is not necessarily better. Bearing in mind correlation != causality. I'm sure a Russian Beowulf cluster of insensitive clods could come up with something for old Koreans that will generate ... profit!

    the guy next to you on the train just sneezed.

    I aint sick, just allergic to diesel generated electrical fields, you insensitive clod.

  14. Re:They Used To Fight Terrorism? on Marine Mammals Used To Fight Terrorism · · Score: 1

    They looked into the frikin laser with their remaining eye and are now on permanent military disability, supported by your tax dollars. This is turning out to be more costly than anticipated as the sheets on the bed need to be changed after every rehydration and the fish smell is incredibly difficult to remove completely.

  15. Re:Queue on Marine Mammals Used To Fight Terrorism · · Score: 1

    I love it when my 'frickin lasers' jokes are in nice, orderly lines

    Sorted by length, arpeture and frequency of their frikin (pun intended).

    You mean where you buy the "dancer" some "champagne" and the "hostess" sticks her head to ask you to buy her another every 5 minutes?

    Too lazy to find the opposite of "reducto" in Latin, sue me.

    thus allow a lower speed at touch down requiring less runway for breaking.

    Well, if it has a tendency to break, I suppose a lower speed would make the incident more survivable, still don't want to be aboard when it happens.

    How can that be significantly worse than reading /. in the afternoon?

    Sorry, no. You are pretty much a minority of one, in this regard.
