  1. Re:iPod functionality on Apple and AT&T Announce iPhone Service Plans · · Score: 1

    Something tells me this is what the next gen of ipods will be like. In fact, i wouldn't be surprised if they put out a non-cell version of the ipod, but kept all of the wifi and internet browsing capability. Sell that for $399, and hot damn, you've got yourself a winner.

  2. Re:Yeah well... on Judge Deals Blow to RIAA · · Score: 5, Funny

    Well, according to the headline, this Judge is not smoking Pot. He's Dealing Blow.

  3. Re:So when your license is suspended... on Driver's License to be the Next Debit Card · · Score: 3, Funny

    This is a very insensitive proposition to those of us in the bodybuilding profession who have no necks.

  4. Re:if it requires latex gloves on How Far Should a Job Screening Go? · · Score: 2, Funny

    unless... of course... those employees know where to score me some mad chronic... for my, um... glaucoma.

  5. Re:this does NOT suck on Two US States Restrict Used CD Sales · · Score: 1

    Someone ought to tell my public library that.

  6. Return to Sender on Mercury Contamination Vs. Energy-Efficient Lightbulbs · · Score: 1

    NYC has a rechargable battery law that states any retailer that sells rechargable batteries must accept them for recycling. I'd imagine cities can do the same with CFLs.

  7. Re:Gee. on New Sony DVDs Not Working In Some Players · · Score: 2, Informative

    I doubt it... I've been able to rip both Stranger Than Fiction and Casino Royale with no problems using the latest beta release of MacTheRipper in "Feature Only" mode. My guess is the new scheme is meant to prevent casual ripping rather than reduce downloads.

  8. Re:Quick Mac Buying Tip on Apple Ships 8-Core MacPro · · Score: 1
    Not exactly.

    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=250 97

    Adding DRAM, VRAM or other user-installable upgrade or expansion products to an Apple computer is not considered a modification to that Apple product.
  9. Re:But...but.. on Daylight Saving Change Saved No Power · · Score: 2, Funny

    I'm against puppies and kittens when they're attacking the children. Won't somebody please think of the children?

  10. Re:More than a pretty face. . . on Windows Vista, More Than Just a Pretty Face · · Score: 5, Funny

    Whores are less expensive, and less prone to viruses than Vista.

  11. Re:Classic Radio on Internet Radio In Danger of Extinction in United States · · Score: 1

    What's to stop someone from doing this with traditional radio as well?

  12. Re:allinone on Palm Responds to the iPhone · · Score: 2, Funny

    does it warm my buns and keep my can cold?

  13. Re:DRM costs to much already. on EMI — Ditching DRM is Going To Cost You · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Or they were idiots and purchased phones that, at least in the US, you're unable to upload your own ringtones and can only purchase the ones provided by the mobile carrier. I'm looking at you, Sidekick!

  14. Re:DRM costs to much already. on EMI — Ditching DRM is Going To Cost You · · Score: 4, Funny

    You've got a wife, that in and of itself will cost you plenty.

  15. Balancing Security with Ease of use on "Very Severe Hole" In Vista UAC Design · · Score: 5, Funny

    Looks like "Ease of Use" is the morbidly obese 10-year-old kid on this see-saw, and "Security" is up in the air with her legs dangling, and all the kids are lookin' up her skirt.

  16. Re:One word for you: eMusic on Jobs Favors DRM-Free Music Distribution · · Score: 1

    if I want more songs than are offered in the plan I choose, I either have to upgrade, or if I've already got the highest plan, I have to wait for next month.
    Incorrect. If you want more than the songs in your plan, you can get booster packs, you do not have to upgrade your account, even if you have the most expensive plan.

    You obviously don't download as much music as the people who use eMusic. For those that do, it's a great deal. But it's obviously not for everyone.
  17. Obligatory Emily Litella Joke on Public Iris Scanning Device In the Works · · Score: 1

    I don't want anyone scanning my pubes.

    Oh, it says public...

    Never mind!

  18. Re:One word for you: eMusic on Jobs Favors DRM-Free Music Distribution · · Score: 1

    Not sure if you realize this, but you don't need to keep paying eMusic to listen to your music. You keep anything you download after you cancel the service. YOu're not paying them $10-20 ad infinitum. You're paying them as long as you want access to their downloads. There's no "lock-in". How is this any different from Cable TV? You're paying for a service that you're only using a tiny fraction of.

  19. Re:In Soviet Russia... on Gorbachev Asks Gates to Intervene in Piracy Case · · Score: 5, Funny

    Eh... i think i'll wait for Gulag SP2.

  20. Re:Mooninites on NASA Considers Plans for Permanent Moon Base · · Score: 1

    We're fighting the mooninites there, so we don't have to fight them here.

  21. Re:Have you actually talked to Microsoft? on Repair Computer, Repurchase OS? · · Score: 3, Funny

    Just hit random numbers until you get a real person. Or punch the keypad a few times with your fists. At least that way you can get out some of the frustration while you're at it. :D

  22. Re:1,400 years on NMR Shows That Nuclear Storage Degrades · · Score: 1

    A question is an interogative statement, used to test knowlege. But that's not important right now, mister.

    What, you've never seen Airplane II?

  23. Re:ppc on Premiere Back on Mac · · Score: 1

    I doubt it... they build those machines to last quite a long time. Besides, i bought a quad core G5 about a month before the Intel Mac Pros came out, so they better support my G5 for at least the next several years!

  24. No mention of Access? on Office 2007 — Better But a Tough Switch · · Score: 1

    I always thought *that* was the fourth pillar.

  25. Re:It's good news ... on Material With Negative Refractive Index Created · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Now that this has been invented, can we get a patch for Sneak King?
