  1. Mac Crack on Think Secret Predicts Sub-$500 Headless Mac · · Score: 5, Funny

    I just want to warn everyone that OS X is addictive. That $500 box will give way to a dual G5 tower very soon. They are just giving you the first hit cheep.

  2. Re:Anarchy! on 2004 MN4 Asteroid Odds Inching Up Again · · Score: 1

    Yeah, I really need an armful of canned hams and Boobah dolls when an asteroid blows half of the crust off of our planet. Mine, all mine

  3. Re:*Sigh*... I miss dangerous toys on Top 100 Toys From The '70s or Thereabouts · · Score: 1

    And they took out the damn merry go rounds too. We used to play "Hang On." One kid gets in the middle and the other kids spin it as fast as possible. The trick is to stay in the middle, as soon as you get off center, you're out of there.

  4. Re:You'll put an eye out! on Top 100 Toys From The '70s or Thereabouts · · Score: 1

    Click clacks got pulled because once you got the hang of them, you could go so fast they exploded. Trust me on this one.

  5. Re:Toys today! on Top 100 Toys From The '70s or Thereabouts · · Score: 1

    Ahhh, Legos. I was the worst Lego thief ever when I was a kid. I used to ride my bike to the mall and steal the big deluxe sets to add to my collection. I had a large baby blue Samsonite suitcase FULL of Legos at one point. You'd think my parents would wonder how the hell I got 40+ lbs of Legos.

  6. stupid on Laptops May Be Hazardous to Your Fertility · · Score: 1

    So.. if you put something hot on your nuts, your nuts get hot. Did we really need a scientist for this?

    The only "frenzied orgy" most of us will ever see...

  8. Re:That's easy... on What Do You Look For in a Big Iron Review? · · Score: 1

    That depends on what you mean by "chicks"

  9. Best educational toy for children? on Classic Toys For Christmas? · · Score: 1

    Your time.

  10. ancient SNL ref on Classic Toys For Christmas? · · Score: 1

  11. Re:And the burning questions remain on AOL Subscribers Finding Greener Pastures · · Score: 1

    I don't see anyone getting hurt (fake or real) at Disney.

  12. Re:And the burning questions remain on AOL Subscribers Finding Greener Pastures · · Score: 3, Insightful

    One of my friends has a good term for it. "fake fun" Prepackaged, tightly controlled, limited entertainment.

  13. Re:usefulness? on TCCBOOT Compiles And Boots Linux In 15 Seconds · · Score: 1, Funny

    I want my bootloader to write the operating system from scratch.

  14. Re:Not quite on Nuclear Rockets Moving Along · · Score: 1

    If we start spelling things the way Dubya says them, the English language will become unrecognizable.

  15. Re:I'm past thinking about water-cooling on Considering Watercooling Your PC? · · Score: 1

    Haha! I usually think the same thing when I see some places wiring closets. What a great movie that is.

  16. Re:Don't stop at just a power button on The Universal Off Button · · Score: 1

    All you need is an EMP to cook that sucker. Of course, you'll need a nuclear weapon and you'll kill every electronic device for a long, long way. But, the ends justify the means, right?

  17. Still true after all these years on "Phishing" Attacks to Increase · · Score: 1

    "A fool and his money are soon parted."

  18. Hell no on The Conference Bike · · Score: 1

    I am a big fan of bicycles. They are fun, healthy transportation. But I don't want to share my bike. I don't even like tandems, get your own bike woman! I can't think of anything more dangerous or less fun than this thing. Is it really a good idea to have a detailed conversation while you ride a bike? And yes, wear a helmet. A headfirst fall from just a standing position is enough to kill you.

  19. Re:if (me) {HAMMER!} on The Conference Bike · · Score: 2, Funny

    Yeah man! Get in there and trick six fat asses into shooting a fast hill and blowing through the intersection at the bottom. The good thing is you'll have enough momentum to fuck up a car, and you'll be really obvious so the cars should avoid you. The bad thing is you'll have no control whatsoever, and the terrified screams of your passengers can be distracting.

  20. Ignore this trend on USB Thumb Drives as ... Fashion Statement? · · Score: 1

    It'll be over in two weeks anyway. I don't put the damn thing around my neck or on my keychain anyway. It's in my laptop bag or in my pocket.

  21. about 450 gigs on Neither Rain, Nor Snow, Nor Dark of Night... · · Score: 1

    I am systems admin for a medium central florida newspaper. I have spent the last day making an additional offsite backup of everything. Databases, file servers, archives, software, serial numbers, etc. The trusty Carbon Copy Cloner (for OS X) and several firewire drives have made things much easier. The servers are already duplicated to our print facilty 2 miles away, so that will give me three copies. I have a final meeting in two hours. What a giant pain in the ass.

  22. Re:Lock your dorm door = number 1 rule. on Surviving College With Gear And Sanity Intact? · · Score: 1
    1. Sex. Women do all their freaky stuff in college, so have an open mind and hit as much of it as you possibly can. Buy a big box of condoms and some good lube (google for 'millenium id').

    I guess you don't live in Florida. The freaky shit women do in college is the stuff they didn't do while they were on vacation.

  23. Re:And the Bahamas? Only 40 miles away... on How 8 Pixels Cost Microsoft Millions · · Score: 1

    Most Americans are not dumb, just complacent, which is worse. At least if your dumb you have an excuse.

  24. Radio suxors on Are We Alone in the Universe? · · Score: 1

    I think have a better chance of finding recognizable signals in gravity waves. Radio only seems to be useful on a local scale and laser is unidirectional. Now all we need is a gravity wave detector.

  25. fsck france on Virgin Accuses Apple of Abusing Monopoly · · Score: 1

    I give Apple 50/50 odds of discontinuing iTMS in France if this actually goes though. Then the consumers will go apeshit.
