  1. Re:Is QNX dead? on QNX "Opens" Source Code · · Score: 1

    Quite right. OS/2 still lives on even if under a new name. http://www.ecomstation.com/

  2. Re:A=A if you ignore B on NASA Building Massively Heat-Resistant Chips · · Score: 1

    You can actually see the SSE units around the Great Lakes!!! http://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/planetary/image/earth_night.jpg

  3. Re:Huh? on The OSS Solution to the Linux Wi-Fi Problem · · Score: 1

    This is exactly why Intel is pushing for UEFI. The binary drivers interface directly to the UEFI firmware and the host OS just makes calls to the UEFI. There are supposed to be UEFI systems available in '08 but that's what they've been promising since q4 '06.

  4. Re:"only AT&T may sell iPhones" on Can Apple + AT&T Shut Down iPhone Unlockers? · · Score: 1

    That's a nice round number.

  5. Re:Speed per core? on MIT Startup Unveils New 64-Core CPU · · Score: 1

    Nobody would release a CPU made of 64 cores at 14MHz and then claim that it was a 900MHz CPU. That is so retarded that even the most suicidal marketing department would balk at the idea. May I present a '64-bit' gaming system to you? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atari_Jaguar/
  6. Re:The GPLv3 works on Microsoft Excludes GPLv3 From Linspire Deal · · Score: 1

    Hurray!! Global warming will finally have a solution.

  7. Re:Bluetooth mice? on Tiny Generator Runs Off Vibrations · · Score: 1

    You know what? You might be right.

  10. Re:It's a trap! on Riding an Ion Drive to the Asteroid Belt · · Score: 1

    They went into production a long time ago ... in a galaxy far, far away. (queue brass symphony)

  11. Re:The Epic Battle begins! on Microsoft / Adobe Competition Heating Up · · Score: 1

    Not exactly. At least the Battle at Wolf-359 was good versus evil. This is more like the Borg versus species 8472.

  12. Re:I recently switched on Windows Expert Jumps Ship · · Score: 2, Funny

    He's just pissed that Objective C doesn't support the GOSUB keyword.

  13. Re:what will they do when on Pentium 4 631 Overclocked to 8 GHz · · Score: 2, Funny

    The cpu will access all memory locations at the same time, nearly causing a bus contention; and after they clock it back down to normal speed the ALUs will slowly begin to revert to those resembling the ones on the i4004.

  14. Re:50, 51. . . on Toshiba Touts 51GB HD DVD · · Score: 1

    Not too many people here are going to pick up on a Mr. Mom joke, but I thought it was funny.

  15. Re:Oh shit! Mike Jones is coming to get you... on Gaia Project Agrees To Google Cease and Desist · · Score: 1

    Pop culture, the quintessential oxymoron.

  16. Re:Oh shit! Mike Jones is coming to get you... on Gaia Project Agrees To Google Cease and Desist · · Score: 1

    Your sarcasm is amusing, but what you don't understand is that this guys cousin is Dick Jones. If the Gaia team didn't back off, he was going to send an ED-209 over to deal with them.

  17. Re:4 8 15 16 23 42 on World's Largest Supercooled Magnet Activated · · Score: 1

    It would seem that your joke was LOST on a lot of people.

  18. Disappointing ... on NASA Making Plans To Save the Earth · · Score: 1

    If they're going to take inspiration from Michael Bay films, they need to attempt to build life size TransFormers.

  19. My conspriracy theory.... on Novell Gets $348 Million From Microsoft · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Microsoft is not directly targeting Linux, but rather apps/utilities that might persuade users from switching to it. There are two things that Novell has that Microsoft would want to bury or pollute. Evolution and Xgl. Decent email/collaboration/task management software could help corporate users break away from Outlook; and Xgl makes Aeroglass effects possible on modest hardware. I have a feeling that we'll see these two projects either stagnate (from Novell's end), or newly added features might find themselves getting non GPL code in them. I suggest forking the code on both now.

  20. Re:How About Airports Charge $5 to Use the Restroo on FCC Nixes Airport's Ban On Private Net Access · · Score: 0

    They could make the place airtight and remove all the air, then charge to use portable oxygen tanks.

  21. Re:oblig on Honeybee Genome Sequenced · · Score: 0

    I believe it might be illegal to have a post containing a Star Wars quote, also containing a sig with a ST:TNG quote.

  22. Re:Anything Can Survive... on Strange Bacteria Sustains Itself Without Sunlight · · Score: 0

    Praise his majesty, the flying spaghetti monster!

  23. Re:H1 on Study Shows Good With Math Means Bad With People · · Score: 0

    Hi there. I respectfully disagree, I have excellent social skills. I disagree with your disagreement. If you had any social skills, you wouldn't contribute to the ocular degeneration of the slashdot masses.

  24. Re:broken their own rule one in rule one on Microsoft Vista User Interface Guidelines Published · · Score: 0

    I was wondering if anyone else was going to catch that. Although I'm suprised that no one mentioned the reflection on the aero logo and how it rips off Apple's look and feel.

  25. Re:Why? on NASA Clears Shuttle Atlantis for Sunday Launch · · Score: 0

    I prefer my bagels toasted, not frozen.
