    Oh it's irrational alright.

  2. Re:Linux market share? on Is Apple Killing Linux on the Desktop? · · Score: 0
    "Also, those must be US-only figures, surely? OSX 7%!?"

    OMFG! SkaterBoi sez teh $+ring "OSX 7%!" pwns all yr base belongs to us. Woot!

  3. And in other news... on Microsoft Patents Frustration-Detection System · · Score: 0

    Apple Stock Ticker Widgets serve as a Lack-of-Frustration Detection System.

  4. Yes, I can hear you now. on Major Breakthrough in Direct Neural Interface · · Score: 0

    Please turn this around the other way: let me know when I can get IM, my RSS feeds, and search results neurally via bluetooth.

  5. Call it Embr... on Microsoft Plans Flickr Competitor · · Score: 0

    Trust me. It'll "flicker" for a while, and then burn out.

  6. Re:So in other words... on Tools To Squash the Botnets · · Score: 0

    That brings up a point for me, which I've always wondered about. Couldn't someone release a virus that fixed everybody's PC? Somehow I don't ever expect to hear myself saying "I, for one, welcome my PC-fixing viral overlords!"

  7. I swear: on First Details of Windows 7 Emerge · · Score: 0

    When Windows 8.6 arrives... I'm outa here.

  8. Paris when it's speeding on Geek and Gadgets Set Cross-US Speed Record · · Score: 0

    This reminds me of a film I saw once called Rendezvous made back in the seventies, I think. Some guy straps a camera on the front grill of a Ferarri and early in the morning heads through Paris at very high speed (running every streetlight) to meet a hottie on the top of Montmartre at sunrise. The sound of the gear changes and tire squeals as he winds through the city in a blur makes you almost forget how freaking dangerous it must've been for him and the pedestrians (although at that time of day, the streets are much more empty.) Check it out if you can find it.

  9. c4v3aT 3mpt0R on Storm Worm Botnet Partitions May Be Up For Sale · · Score: 2, Funny

    The partition you just purchased is on your own hard drive.

  10. Re:Let's try to be helpful on Numerically Approximating the Wave Equation? · · Score: 0
    Yes, I seriously agree, but only after I post this rather well-meaning, but (like Parent) unhelpful comment.

  11. Microsoft Motto on One Species' Genome Discovered Inside Another's · · Score: 0, Offtopic
    First Do Evil.

  12. Re:Nah this is not correct either. on New Theory Explains Periodic Mass Extinctions · · Score: 1

    Geez. I wonder what he's been smoting.

  13. Infinitely, I must regress on Watching My Neighbors Watch On-Demand TV · · Score: 1
    I can't wait until the guy's neighbor gets the same setup.

  14. Nothing to see here. on MS Wants To Identify All Web Surfers · · Score: 1
    Ballmer just wants better GAYDAR.

    Move along.

  15. Two Words, or is it one word? on Dell Rethinking the Direct-Sales Market · · Score: 1, Insightful
    CostCo. I used to find Dell PCs in CostCo, but not for a while now. Dell should have a permanent pile of lower-end boxen on display whenever I walk into the place. Power users will always need to interact with the sales process I suppose.

  16. Plus c'est la meme chose, plus ça change on Show Office 2007 Who's the Boss · · Score: 0
    The more things change, the more things stay the same.

    It must also be said: The more windows is broken, the more chairs are thrown.

  17. Spooky! on Quantum Physics Parts Ways With Reality · · Score: -1, Redundant
    How cool would it be if this gets m0dded +5 Funny from a distance? Spooky!

    Cursors? Foiled again!

  20. Non-destructive to Pr0n on Microsoft Move to be the End of JPEG? · · Score: 1

    Microsoft claims that adjustments can be made to color balance and exposure settings that won't discard or truncate data that occurs with other bit-map formats.

    So my pr0n stays fresh? Sweet!

  21. Re:May cause som collateral damage on 67-Kilowatt Laser Unveiled · · Score: 1
    I was an early pioneer in the field with DiscoBall 1.0 back in 1975.

  22. Yes, but... on Apple, the New Microsoft? · · Score: 1
    What do you think, could Apple eventually take the place of Microsoft?"

    Yes, but not on Slashdot.
