  1. Nothing to see here... on Sense of Smell Tied To Quantum Physics? · · Score: 1
    What's up with all this talk of nose tunneling? If you did it while driving your car to work today, I've got news for you: Someone saw it.

  2. At least M$ has made progress on the spam front... on Activating Vista Enterprise Using a Spoofed Server · · Score: 1
    ... for it was fortold two years ago:

    Spam will be a thing of the past in two years' time, Microsoft boss Bill Gates has promised.

  3. Re:chilling effect on In Search of Stupidity · · Score: 1
    So please people, a little less self-importance then. Ah, that's much better.

    With apologies to Ms. Streisand: Self-important people who need self-important people are the unluckiest people in the world.

  4. Re:Energy conversion devices on Company Claims New Chip Converts Heat To Electricity · · Score: 1
    "Just show us the tech - put up or shut up, that simple."

    I'll settle for the Scientific Method. Let me know how that "put up or shut up" thing works for you.

  5. Translation: on Windows Chief Suggests Vista Won't Need Antivirus · · Score: 1

    Bring 'em on!

  6. Re:Privacy Not Quite Dead. on OpenSourcing Yourself, Are You Ready? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Or you could just go fork yourself. (No offense. It just had to be said!)

  7. Does this mean what I think it means? on Bug Pushes Vista Out to November 8th · · Score: 1

    Has Microsoft cut and run on staying the course? Is Vista in it's last throes?

  8. Vox Populi on Web Geniuses Or Web Dimwits? · · Score: 1

    So basically you could have a massive system to guage the stock market, based on each quote player's unquote picks. You could call it the New York Stock Exchange, for example... Must go now. It's time for my random walk.

  9. Re:Makes you wonder... on Apple Unveils 24" iMac · · Score: 1
    I take that to mean the new intel 'merom' chips are about to appear in MacBooks and MacBook Pros.

  10. Same here. on RIAA Ends Harassment of Grieving Family · · Score: 2, Funny

    Out of an abundance of sensitivity, I have elected to stop bying DRM protected music. Thank you for your understanding.

  11. Re:Damage Control By Gates on Ballmer Speaks on His Solo Act · · Score: 1

    Not to mention that, by then, he willl have sold a boat load of stock at a higher price... to the benefit of mankind, natch.

  12. Re:I'm no anti-microsoftie, but... on Ballmer Speaks on His Solo Act · · Score: 0, Troll

    Yeah right. And then it'll be free puppies for everyone on the planet.

  13. Re:Thanks Apple on Paul Thurrott Bitten by WGA · · Score: 1

    Well not exactly true. One could run a copy of the Tiger on an older mac that originally shipped with OS 9, or an earlier Mac OS X version. It seems to me that Apple loses some revenue under such circumstances.

  14. Never underestimate... on Bacterial DVD Holds 50TB · · Score: 1

    Never underestimate the bandwidth of a station wagon full of 50TB DVDs!

  15. Re:These kinds of discussions make me sick. on On Point On Slacking · · Score: 1

    You're fired. THE MANAGEMENT

  16. Got lemons? Make lemonade! on Americans Not Bothered by NSA Spying · · Score: 2, Funny
    It's a hassle to write my Congressman, knowing that at best some lackey is reading it and checking-off on some breakdown list to determine where I stand.

    However, if I end each phone conversation with my friends with a short tirade of what an asshat George W. Bush is, then I can hang up knowing that only those at the highest level of government are hearing my views.

    Heck of a job Michael V. Hayden!

  17. Re:More imporantly on Microsoft May Delay Windows Vista Again · · Score: 1
    I take your point. However, Gartner and its ilk are generally M$ fanboi-types, so when I read them saying Vista will be further delayed, it makes me wonder.

    In any case, being a nobody in the scheme of things, I've been predicting that the latest M$ Vista delay would be the last. So I have that going for me!

  18. What this country needs is a... on Congress May Consider Mandatory ISP Snooping · · Score: 1
    What this country needs is a anonymous proxy server in every home.

  19. A young Kirk, tested. on J.J. Abrams To Direct New 'Star Trek' Film · · Score: 1
    May we assume that we'll learn more about the Kobayashi Maru test than we ever wanted to know?

    Dammit Jim! I said I want to be a DOCTOR, not a proctor!

  20. Now we can lose the flying saucers! on First Steps Toward Artificial Gravity · · Score: 1

    No need to reverse-engineer flying saucers when you can white room the Greys by doing pure research! ;^)

  21. An Actuarial Perspective on The Story of Tron · · Score: 2, Funny
    I saw TRON on opening day with a bunch of pals, on mushrooms. I 'm happen to be an actuary, and when RAM announces that he is an actuarial program, believe me, it cracked me up. I've always loved that movie and have probably seen it a dozen times since.

  22. I don't mean to ponfificate, but on Intel Ships Core Duo-based Xeon · · Score: 2, Funny
    Didn't Pope Zeon LV kiss the tarmac at Starfleet Academy?

  23. Yes, but... on Quantum Computer Works Better Shut Off · · Score: 1

    Does this mean that on February 14th I will be doing Kama Sutra with MyWife using my Blackworm? There, I said it.
