    Can I stick a fridge magnet on your car?

    Only if I have the air conditioning set to a very low temperature

  2. Re:I wonder on No Warrant Needed For GPS Tracking By Police · · Score: 1
    would be posible to atach micro gps locaors on people

    Thats why you need the tin-foil hats, so the electrodes in your head don't disclose where you are

  3. Re:Yet another desktop search tool on Yahoo Releases Desktop Search Tool Beta · · Score: 1
    isn't that why your OS has a "search" tool?

    What do you want, something that does the job easily, or the standard windows search tool?

  4. Re:Incorrect: Understand the way it's shut off on U.S. Makes Plans for GPS Shutdown · · Score: 1
    VOR's are being phased out

    Phased... I love the use of that word here

  5. Re:Guarenteed? on $1 Billion Awarded in Lawsuit Against Spammers · · Score: 1
    I have a copy of an email here somewhere (and if I can't find it, I'm sure another one will flood my inbox) offering to fix my credit.

    So, they will not be inconvenienced too much :)

    Over here in the UK, more overt nudity is used to advertise kitchen appliances and motor oil.

    In the same ad?

    I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I cant do that

  8. Why can't we all just get along? on Interceptor Missile Fails Test Launch · · Score: 2, Insightful

    That way we wouldn't need new ways of blowing things up

  9. Re:First things on The Japanese/American Tech Deficit · · Score: 1

    The U.S. usually views blockbuster movie releases first

    NO, the U.S. probably only ever sees movies produced in the U.S. first. Indian blockbuster movies are probably seen in India first, way before they reach the U.S. (if at all)

  10. Re:Our new overlords.. on Tougher Copyright Laws for Australia · · Score: 1

    Prior art, surely

    Just search for the 1950s

    Oops, thats right, prior art doesnt count for some patents.

    I work in Canberra too (just down the road from Parliament House) so don't tar me with the same brush.

    note to self - dont forget to click on that post anonymously thingo, you are a public servant after all. Ooops, too late

    I think not

  13. Re:Hrmm on Too Many Computers Hurt Learning · · Score: 1

    "fish and chip, $5"

    Or maybe you only get one chip for your money?

    Who knows how many pieces of fish you get though?

  14. Re:And it's too bad... on Spyware Removal is Big Business · · Score: 1

    ... that the average adult has one breast and one testicle.

    I would have thought that the average human would have a breast count of very, very close to two

    Or have you been too busy perv^h^h^h^hlooking at girls to notice that men, in fact, usually have 2 breasts as well?

  15. Re:But could you... on Massive Multiplayer Gaming Warehouses On The Way · · Score: 2, Insightful

    And miss the action on the other edge of the screen? Sounds like a perfect recipe for losing.

  16. But could you... on Massive Multiplayer Gaming Warehouses On The Way · · Score: 2, Insightful

    possibly see everything on the screen at once? I don't know if my field of view is that wide.

  17. Re:Why not compete? on Verizon Seeks To Nix Fee-Based Municipal Wireless Grids · · Score: 1

    For those on the West Coast, Philly is the largest city in PA.

    I am on the east coast (more or less) and I have no clue where or what a PA is. Philly is also a soft cheese, but I couldn't imagine living there.

    FWIW, I am in Australia - well outside the USA borders (for now)

  18. Upgrade Path? on Best Live Linux For Christmas Giving? · · Score: 1

    Why not go for Mandrake Move (assuming you do realise that most recipients will think you are nuts)?

    Then if they want to get the full experience, they can upgrade to a full hard disk based version of Mandrake?

    Just a thought

  19. As funny as... on Space Elevator Prototype Climbs MIT Building · · Score: 1

    A fart in an elevator.

    I'm glad I didn't go with 'Able to leap tall buildings...'

  20. Re:Hyundai Excel on Excel Registered as Trademark, 19 Years Late · · Score: 1

    It's still officially named the Hyundai Excel in Australia.

    Not so... I think you will find it very difficult to walk into an Australian car showroom and purchase a new Hyundai Excel. You will, however, have no problem with a brand new Accent (since at least 2000, when I looked at purchasing one) Move along, nothing to see here

  21. Re:MODS ARE STUPID on Google Index Doubles · · Score: 1

    I spelled it write you ass. You should learn how to spell (or how to use a dictionarie sight for that matter)

    Surely you mean you spelt it right. And surely you mean dictionary.

    If you are so fond of the dictionary, try using it occassionally to ensure that you not only have the right spelling, but the right homophone (or is that the write homophone?)
