  1. choo-choo on Longhorn Beta is Disappointing · · Score: 1

    if a train leaves New York at 10:17 EST, carrying 10,000 copies of Longhorn, and traveling at 120mph, and another train leaves Los Angeles, carrying 12,000 copies of Longhorn SP1, traveling East at 97mph, at what time to the two trains collide and how many copies of SP1 actually survive the wreck? How many copies of Longhorn survive the wreck? Extra Credit: Factor the averages of the number of copies of software on both trains, including the purchase price and marketing cost, and contrive the net loss to be incurred by the average consumer. Grammar counts.

  2. Landfills on Will America's Favorite Technology Go Dark? · · Score: 1

    Imagine how the bottom of the ocea^H^H landfills will look with all those Big Ass (tm) tubes piled on top of all the computers and cell phones. We won't need SETI anymore - just wait for intelligent life to contact *us* asking to turn the radio emissions down.

  3. Re:Lies, Damn Lies and Statistics on Interest in CS as a Major Drops · · Score: 1

    "There is enough software in the world now to run for the next 10 years."

    Yup.. and it's all coming out of third-world countries, not the US. Tell your parents to save their money for gassing up their H2 so they can get to WalMart for all those great chinese goods.

  4. Update IE? on New IE7 Information Announced · · Score: 1

    umm.. why?

  5. Re:Is it April Fools Day? on Offshoring to a Ship in International Waters · · Score: 1

    It's not offshoring that is out of hand, it is Capitalism (tm) that is out of hand and has been for a good few decades.

  6. reminiscent of Demolition Man on IBM to Help UAE Track Drivers on the Road · · Score: 1

    "...speed tracking devices that will automatically warn violators of traffic laws.."

    Wait till those truck drivers find out they gotta wipe their ass with 3 shells.

    >The GPL is a work of sheer genius.

    And we can thank Eben Moglen (as well as others) for that.

  8. In other words on Firefox-Based Start-Up Gets Off The Ground · · Score: 1

    'We see tremendous room for innovating on top of the Mozilla and Firefox platform' Translated: Here comes The Bloat (tm)

  9. Re:Sounds from Hell on Hole Drilled to Bottom of Earth's Crust · · Score: 2, Funny

    I wonder if hell was pissed about their new skylight?

    7) Mandoo

    So you see.. linux distros should not interbreed..

  12. heehee.. crack found in shuttle on Crack Found in Shuttle Tank · · Score: 1

    At first glance I thought they were talking about drug traffiking.

  14. pdf viruses on PDF Tracking On the Way · · Score: 1

    here they come. The AdobeBufferOverflowExploit() function call should come in handy.

  15. Why the ocean? on Hubble Verdict: De-Orbit · · Score: 1

    You know, why don't they aim that rocket at the sun and burn it up instead of throwing more shit in the ocean? They could get some cool pics on the way to the furnace.

  16. More scheming on Microsoft Offers New Data-Security Scheme · · Score: 1

    nuff said? I wish they would fix the stuff that is broke now instead of creating new headaches for everyone.

  17. Re:Actual Court Transcript on Supreme Court Takes Hard Look at P2P · · Score: 1

    You left out the part where the bench recieves a large sum of cash under the table.

  18. my results on Objectively Comparing Competing Search Engines? · · Score: 2, Funny

    keywords: microsoft sucks
    Google == 658,000 hits
    Hotbot == 136,000 hits
    AltaVista == 1,350,000 hits
    search.msn.com == 1,957,101 hits

    keywords:apple sucks
    Google == 750,00 hits
    Hotbot == 139,000 hits
    Altavista == 1,540,000 hits
    search.msn.com == 2,415,023

    keywords:linux sucks
    Google == 620,000 hits
    Hotbot == 117,000 hits
    Altavista == 1,110,000 hits
    search.msn.com == 1,828,755 hits

    So there you have it. To break it down:
    - msn HATES apple but would use linux before windows.
    - Altavista prefers Linux but would use windows before using a mac
    - Hotbot was afraid to take a stance.
    - Google clearly thinks apple sucks the worst and linux the least.

    This is about as objective as you can get :)

  19. fork the bastard on Java Fallout: OO.o 2.0 and the FOSS Community · · Score: 1

    If Sun is going to purposely leverage java dependancies into OO simply because they can, then f#ck them. Take the codebase that is available, strip the java, and offer an alternative. It worked for Xorg.

  20. That explains it on How the Secret Service Cracks Encrypted Evidence · · Score: 1

    I guess Mitnick taught them a thing or two while he was caged up.

  21. Cancelled on Large Prize Offered For Writing Mac Virus · · Score: 1

    Cancelled??......... uh oh.....

  22. I trust Eben on GPL 3 Forking Risks Discussed · · Score: 2, Insightful

    He's a smart shit. People don't like change - fear it rather. There are some valid concerns about license "portability" but I can't think of anyone else I would rather have sorting it all out.

  23. Good news for SCO on Utah Governor Signs Net-Porn Bill · · Score: 1

    if you can forfeit your turn to instead draw more letters to form the words "greedy fucking capitalist prick". hahaaa.. naw I'm kidding. Even communist lawyers are pricks. So the dude copied the game, the name, the rules and all. Wouldn't be surprised if we see a Scrabble Subscription Service on iTunes one of these days after they assimilate his ass. Maybe mikey can offer some help. http://www.mikerowesoft.com/
