    I'm just amazed that it doesn't give the exact same results as Google.

  2. OMG DELL IS COPYING APPLE on Dell Issues Laptop Battery Recall · · Score: 5, Funny

    Apple did this like three years ago. Dell is so behind the times!

    Mr. Universe has(had?) a robot girlfriend, and that was just last year.

  4. Re:AI restaraunt managers...Cylons next? on Computer Manages Restaurant Workers · · Score: 1

    I like the idea of Cylons on the condition that they look like Tricia Helfer.

    No but I'll send a clinically depressed robot named Marvin to do so.

    On a server, yes. A GUI takes up more resources than the whole of the server in almost any case excluding a Slashdotting or a 'lightweight'-style GUI(along the lines of twm but minus X--Windows severely lacks this). Without a GUI a small server(we're not talking Google here) can be decently run from a fracking 486. It can save you thousands of dollars on performance.

  13. Re:I can't find my copy of the memo from Google, on Google Sends Legal Threats to Media Organizations · · Score: 1

    Biro pens are called Bic pens in the United States. And yes, US television has way too much advertizing and the BBC seems to have about the right amount.

  14. Re:What TIME is it kiddies? on RIAA Wants to Depose Dead Defendant's Children · · Score: 1

    Interestingly, a copy of Encyclopedia Galactica from the future defined the RIAA as "a bunch of mindless jerks who were the first against the wall when the revolution came."

  15. Re:TNG on Star Trek... Inspirational Posters? · · Score: 1

    I am an American, as far as I can tell. It's called the World Wide web because there are sites from all around the world. Webster also says that it's chiefly British. And no.

    It took you long enough to appear...someone summoned you all the way up the thread!

    What gave it away? The fact that you fracking told us!

    You are an AC. I am a registered user. Who do you think is more trustworthy?
