  1. Re:Yaay KDE! on KDE 3.3 Officially Released · · Score: 1

    Really? I thought they stood for K, you Win the Jukers Flight Combat Simulator!

  2. Re:Niche guys.... on End Of The Line For Alpha · · Score: 2, Informative

    They've got a permanent cross-licensing agreement that lets either party use what the other comes up with.

  3. Re:The whole idea is crazy on NSLU2 Now More Useful · · Score: 1

    Congratulations post number ten million!

  4. I was going to ask about that... on Cooling Toronto Using Lake Ontario · · Score: 5, Funny

    but then I had a better question: Can it cool my 64-bit prescott?

  5. Re:Dammit! on Two New Saturnian Moons · · Score: 3, Funny

    Being (presumably) composed of rock, this new moon could be considered a boulder in space. Thus, it is only logical to compare it to it's earthbound cousin.

  6. Re:SP2 incompatible on Microsoft Lists SP2 Incompatibilities · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Looks to me like they're trying to turn DVD playback to a television into an "exclusive feature" of Windows Media Center Edition.

  7. Re:easy workaround on TransGaming Tagging Downloads to Combat Piracy · · Score: 4, Funny

    And so the race begins!!

  8. Re:Franchises MMORPGs on On MMORPG Franchise Fundamentals · · Score: 2

    The damage can easily be undone by distributing a free 2 week demo.. which they have. I'm actually rather shocked by how fun the game is. Certainly I'm having more fun playing my wookie industrialist than I ever did in EQ.

  9. Re:Cult Status on What's the Worst Movie You've Ever Seen? · · Score: 1

    Speaking of bad films with cult followings, I just recently discovered that "Gay Niggers From Outer Space" actually exists. Try browsing at -1 sometime if you don't know what I'm babbling about.

  10. Re:10 shares of Google stock per CPU on SCO Linux Licenses Could Increase In Price · · Score: 1

    Hmm... Maybe someone should set up a geek currency exchange market. I'd love to know how many Gmail invites a WoW beta key is worth.

  11. Re:OK, I'll ask the question on BSA Asks Kids to Name Copyright Weasel · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Because if people started saving their money instead of living above their means via easy credit, the economy would collapse. If you want to be one of those financally responsible subversives anyway, point your kids to www.fool.com and they'll probably turn out OK.

  12. Re:What is the 104 keys bullcrap? on AlphaGrip's 3D Keyboard Ready For Pre-Orders · · Score: 1

    You've never encountered the 84-key Model F that shipped with the PC and AT have you? I love the PS/2 keyboard as much as the next guy (using one right now, but only because I gave it to my grandma after got my M13 and I'm chilling at her place) but with it's comparatively flimsy plastic casing and lack of pointy, spring loaded dials to retract and extend the footies on the back, the M has nowhere near the weaponry potential of the F.

  13. Re:Look at more recent stuff on Time Warp Computer Pricing Revealed · · Score: 1
    Grandkids? Hell, you'll probably do it yourself. I'm still using my Tandy 1000 RL...

    to prop up my monitor ;-)

  14. Totally offtopic factoid: on Dr Who, Daleks Kiss And Make Up · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Before the civil war, whenever US foreign policy was discussed in newspapers, they always read "The United States of America are..." rather than "is..." The clear shift in power to the 'federal' (damned interstate highway funds) government afterward caused the change in grammar.

  15. Re:Freespace 1&2 on Which Classic Games Have Aged Well? · · Score: 1
  16. Re:Parent is a copy of a GNU webpage on Microsoft's Marshall Phelps On Patents And Linux · · Score: 1
    First line of the grandparent post:

    from http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/words-to-avoid.html# IntellectualProperty

  17. Another prime example: on DoubleClick Hit by DDoS Attack · · Score: 1

    homestarrunner.com. How the hell did they afford all that bandwidth before the store took off, anyway? OTOH, I know at least 5 people that have bought shirts AND the cd.

  18. Pitch this one to CBS Execs!! on Electronic Arts Buys Criterion, RenderWare · · Score: 1

    Everybody loves Lance?

  19. Re:Netscape additions on Netscape 7.2 To Be Released August 3rd · · Score: 1

    and it probably cost you six times as much as my basic logitech scroll, but I"m sure it's a very nice piece of gimpy hardware.

  20. Re:Netscape additions on Netscape 7.2 To Be Released August 3rd · · Score: 1

    Just click the link with your middle mouse button and it'll open in a background tab.

  21. Re:One word: on AMD Releases Sempron Earlier Than Expected · · Score: 1

    Emenat? Isn't that one already a laxative?

  22. When? on Physicists Postulate Existance of New Particle · · Score: 2, Interesting

    As soon as the next Copernicus, Newton, Einstein, Planck or Hawking comes along. Considering the exponential population growth lately, and assuming a fixed ratio of paradigm-defining supergeniuses to the general population, we're probably overdue.

  23. Re:Game Boy in that thing? on The Ultimate Nintendo Console · · Score: 1

    He is using the thing that sticks on the bottom of a gamecube.

  24. Re:ATI on Official Doom 3 Benchmarks Released · · Score: 1

    Agreed. I've had an 8MB RAGE128 and 32MB Radeon 7000, and after all the driver issues over the years, I made the switch to nVidia and haven't looked back. I especially love the way nView desktop manager gives Windows all those nifty features it should've had in the first place. Being able to set any window as "Always on Top" is ever so useful when working in The GIMP.

  25. Warning: Terrible Puns Ahead on Storing Data In Cow Guts? · · Score: 1

    Maybe now Gateway really can make cowculators. What, you've got beef with my joke? Maybe we can take the bull by the horns and steer this conversation in another direction.
