  1. Roomba on New Electrolux Trilobite 2.0 Vacuum Robot · · Score: -1, Redundant

    Looks like a fancy Roomba

  2. Re:A film ? .. on HHGTG Screenwriter Interviews Himself · · Score: 1

    I do the same. I never actually seem to be "reading" books. It's like watching a movie for me!

  3. Community Edition on Mandrakelinux 10 Now Available To All · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I've been using the v.10 Community Edition on one of my older PCs for my little sister. It's easy enough for her, but powerful enough to run what I throw at it. I'll definately be upgrading to the Official Version now.

  4. James Bond of the Spam world? on Anti-Spammers Infiltrate Private Online Spam Clubs · · Score: 2, Funny

    Well 3 cheers to these fellows! I wonder how they got in if it's invitation only.

  5. Not so new on Build Your Own Stun Gun · · Score: 1

    We made these at summer camp back in Junior High, not exactly news material. Must be a slow news day. Anyways, if you get a bigger capacitor, the charge is much greater. With a regular one from most camera's, you get barely enough shock to make someone yelp.

  6. Re:General question... on Anti-Missile Laser Weapon Successfully Tested · · Score: 1

    Do you guys think that anybody thought that we'd be at war with Germany after WWI? I'm sure we never knew about any war 20 years before it happened. The world changes, my friend.

  7. Re:At $699 per CPU on How Many Google Machines, Really? · · Score: 1

    Lindon, Utah-based SCO claims that parts of Linux were directly copied from Unix, which SCO owns. Huh?

  8. Will the priests be able to... on SimChurch · · Score: -1, Troll

    Will the priests be able to virtually molest the alter boys?

  9. Re:Is gold even used as money any more? on Money That Grows On Trees · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Thanks to Wikipedia for the following: Today gold is often kept as a hedge against the US dollar or other G8 "hard currencies". In addition to other precious metals, it has several competitors as store of value: the US dollar itself and real estate (which of course is dependent on property rights recognized in a country). None of these has the stability of gold had, thus there are occasionally calls to restore the gold standard, or to move to a new standard based on ecological yield of natural capital, e.g. Global Resource Banking. Given the difficulty of assessing such standards as compared to the simple weighing of gold, it seems not likely they can really take hold. Some privately issued modern currencies (such as e-gold) are backed by gold bullion.

  10. Re:Is gold even used as money any more? on Money That Grows On Trees · · Score: 1

    Gold is actually used more as an investment. It's worth quite alot of money, still.

  11. Now MS will sue them for having DOS in their name! on Lindows Agreeing to Change Name · · Score: 1

    Watch... they will sue them for having DOS in their name!

  12. Shouldn't this be YRO? on Passive E-Mail Monitoring Leads To Arrest · · Score: 5, Insightful

    It seems like YRO, I mean, they were monitoring his email, they probably are monitoring ours!

  13. Re:If you've ever wondered why your PHB... on Why PHBs Fear Linux · · Score: 2, Redundant

    It means either of 2 things: Bachelor of Philosophy (Philosophiae Baccalaureus) or Pointy Haired Boss (Dilbert reference)

  14. Re:I have this same problem on Dealing with False AOL Spam Reports? · · Score: 1

    I've stayed on hold much longer than that, for different things.

  15. I have this same problem on Dealing with False AOL Spam Reports? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    My emails get routed to null at aol as well. Really sucks when trying to contact a client who uses AOL. Get the owner of the box (root access, some stupid AOL rule) to call the AOL Postmaster, stay on hold a bit, and you can get it all sorted out.

  16. Where is article writed located? on Microsoft's Paul Allen Funds ET Search · · Score: 2, Funny

    He mentions $US and $? What is the anonymous $ value?

  17. Does noone else see this movie as HILARIOUS? on Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow! · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I mean, it's a World War 1/2 Fighter Pilot Flying around against super-advanced aliens, all the while with the soundtrack as the Stargate SG-1 theme. The writer is a genius.
