  1. Re:1999: My Life *was* hell; then Columbine on Bully Trailer Hits the Web · · Score: 1

    Wiggin, not Wiggins. But I don't think you're going to see him here for over a hundred years.

  2. Re:Prions? on Contagious Cancer Found in Dogs · · Score: 1

    Priors are people who have been taken to the Flames of Enlightenment(their name) at Celestis and genetically improved to be as close as possible to Ascension without actually Ascending them. They are then used like a missionary to preach Origin to other planets. They are also a necessary component in the construction of the Ori Toiletships(not their name) which are used to kill unbelievers. Oh, wait, you wanted to know about Prions? Sorry, no experience there.

  3. Re:Which is why... on Contagious Cancer Found in Dogs · · Score: 1

    I can confirm this because my mother, who has survived lymphoma(I think that's how it's spelled), can no longer donate blood.

  4. Re:We're sorry, that name is taken. on First Impressions of Sabayon Linux · · Score: 1

    Gentoo itself hijacked the name from some file manager.

  5. Re:Speaking of FUD... on Microsoft Port 25 interviews Miguel de Icaza · · Score: 1

    Wow, you're good. I can't tell if you're trolling or not!

  6. Re:Worthless drivel on Microsoft Port 25 interviews Miguel de Icaza · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Wow, multiple-personality disorder and schizophrenia--that's pretty nasty.

  7. Re:Myspace taking over...... on Google Signs $900m MySpace Deal · · Score: 1

    A guy who made a song from Ted Stevens' speech was sued for copyright infringement, even though Congressional speeches are ipso facto public domain, and said song would be fair use as parody. Note that News Corp, who owns Myspace, is also the largest campaign donor to Ted Stevens' campaign.

  8. Re:Indeed! Cases in point! on First Impressions of Sabayon Linux · · Score: 1

    I thought that E17 was just short for Enlightenment version 17.

  9. Re:Not quite on Microsoft Bracing for Worm Attack · · Score: 1

    So how many STDs does she have? And how many has she given to you so far?

  10. Re:Let's mobilize on Microsoft Bracing for Worm Attack · · Score: 1

    Take off every Vista. EVERY.

  11. Re:Program Naming on First Impressions of Sabayon Linux · · Score: 1

    In GNOME, at least the last time I used GNOME(which admittedly was back in the 2.10 days), it said "Firefox Web Browser".

  12. The Question on OpenCyc 1.0 Stutters Out of the Gates · · Score: 1

    What do Douglas Adams fans say that the answer to life, the universe, and everything is?

  13. Re:Other way around? on New Kind of Spam 'Un-Training' Filters? · · Score: 1

    People are in denial because there's a lesser frequency of girls than the maximum frequency of guys who pretend to be girls(MFOGWPTBG I guess) on this forum. I'm not in denial because I've been on fora with much greater numbers of girls(higher than the MFOGWPTBG). At least that's my theory.

    Post As An AC: Deduct 2 Points
    That one I can agree with.
    Be Un-Funny: Deduct 5 Points
    Call kettle black while being pot: Deduct 3 points
    Gee, you sure you still want to play? Your heart just doesn't seem to be in the game...
    Again losing three points...are you sure you want to do this?
  15. Re:Reactionary much? on Charter Flight Websites / Services? · · Score: 2, Funny

    You never actually get to see the G-man for more than a few seconds except at the end of the game.

  16. Re:Oh yeah, like it's going to be anonymous on Tracking Your Cell Phone for Traffic Reports · · Score: 2, Insightful

    That works right now, but eventually this shit will be built into the car. Pull it out and the car won't start. Use a car that doesn't work like that and get a fine. Oh, and don't forget the forced obsolescence.

  17. Re:Agreed on Apple vs Microsoft- Who's the Copycat? · · Score: 1

    Or it could be that some Macites are envisioning that the Intel move is pulling them closer to every other vendor qualitywise with the whines and such. I've never been interested in Macs so I don't really care.

  18. Re:Preaching to the choir? on The FSF, GPLv3 and DRM · · Score: 1

    Until the proprietary modification becomes popular. Like it did with the original UNIX(although technically not BSD-licensed it ended up forking into 20 000 proprietary commercial Unices because its licence was close to BSD's) and to a lesser degree with XFree86(a lot of hardware makers made special versions of such for their hardware).

  19. Re:If that's the first Google Maps-based RTS... on Endgame- Google Maps RTS (beta) · · Score: 1

    A poor ripoff of NationStates(which fell down the tube about a year ago) with Google Maps.

  20. Re:Can I buy a vowel? on The FSF, GPLv3 and DRM · · Score: 1

    Were you ever in the SGC?

  21. Re:Preaching to the choir? on The FSF, GPLv3 and DRM · · Score: 1

    If you want to keep your libs open while allowing proprietary libs to link to them use the LGPL. If you want people to adopt your standard as fast as possible use BSD.

  22. Re:Of course RMS is not a DRM! on The FSF, GPLv3 and DRM · · Score: 1

    There's really a place in Germany called Rammstein?

  23. Re:News for Nerds? on Stephen Colbert vs The Hungarian Government · · Score: 1

    I think you mean all the tubes which are being built to nowhere.

  24. Re:Dammit on James A. Van Allen - Dies at 91 · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Can I ask what the virus is?

  25. MOD PARENT WAY DOWN on Stephen Colbert vs The Hungarian Government · · Score: 1, Funny

    Chuck Norris is the antithesis of funny.
