  1. Re:You're Fired! (an ego problem?) on Bruce Perens Voted off SPI Board · · Score: 1
    So much to do, so little Bruce. Sigh.
    My suggestion is to clone yourself.
  2. Re:Obvious? on PR Firm Behind Al Gore YouTube Spoof? · · Score: 1

    His quotes indicate what they want you to think. Yours indicate what's really happening.

  3. Those aren't Fark slashes on 40 Percent of World of Warcraft Players Addicted · · Score: 1

    Those are IRC slashes. Fark uses some weird slash then slash-slash system for postscripts. Those slashes signify commands.

  4. Re:Sci-Fi channel isn't that much better. on Matt Damon as Kirk in Star Trek XI? · · Score: 1

    No. They used to be on at 8PM and 9PM, now it's 9PM and 10PM. And those ads only really appeared on the Sci-Fi channel, as opposed to the Eureka ads which were much more widespread.

  5. Re:Isn't art highbrow? on Why Are There No Highbrow Video Games? · · Score: 1

    So, basically you want a Firefly game?

  6. Re:Dear Fidel... on The Next Three Days are the x86 Days · · Score: 1

    May you burn in the holy flames of Celestis, unbeliever. Hallowed are the Ori.

  7. Re:It's funny. Laugh. on The Next Three Days are the x86 Days · · Score: 1

    There are actually six zoo.pl icons that can appear. But only four can appear at a time as you can't simultaneously be friend and foe, and same with fan and freak.

  8. Re:All Your Cars Are Belong To Us on Hoboken, NJ vs. Giant Parking Robot · · Score: 1
    (and infinitely better than pure communism, but then again, what isn't?)
    Pure corporate fascism.
  9. Funny, zero KDE integration was my favorite thing on Mozilla Calls on User Community Today for Testing · · Score: 1

    about Firefox.

  10. Re:Bender on London Gamers Shoot It Out In The Streets · · Score: 1

    If anybody says "In fact, forget the game" I'll shoot them.

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

    I had a myspace account about a year ago but I deleted it because I realized it was all chain-letters.

  12. Re:Fedora (est. 1997) on What's Fedora Up To? Ask the Project Leader · · Score: 1

    There was an RPM repository at fedora.us. Originally, Fedora was called just RHL. However, the people at the RPM repository and the people at RHL decided to join up and call their project "Fedora".

  13. Re:Comics are for kids on Warren Ellis Curates new Webcomic Site · · Score: 1

    Paul Graham: "As usual the popular image is several decades behind reality. Now the misunderstood artist is not a chain-smoking drunk who pours his soul into big, messy canvases that philistines see and say "that's not art" because it isn't a picture of anything. The philistines have now been trained that anything hung on a wall is art. Now the misunderstood artist is a coffee-drinking vegan cartoonist whose work they see and say "that's not art" because it looks like stuff they've seen in the Sunday paper."

  14. Re:Comics are for kids on Warren Ellis Curates new Webcomic Site · · Score: 1

    You, my friend, fail.

  15. Re:New Ideas For FPS Thread on Prey Review · · Score: 1
    And what the hell is it with all the fucking crates?
    Because Gordon Frohman ordered 100000 of them.
  16. Re:Oh, Yes! on Matt Damon as Kirk in Star Trek XI? · · Score: 1

    The first two are right, the third to a slightly lesser degree now that we have the Daedalus, but there aren't very many 'real' aliens in Atlantis. There's the Wraith and that's really it as far as aliens go.

  17. Re:There's one Problem with that. on Matt Damon as Kirk in Star Trek XI? · · Score: 1

    Actually, I think there are some producers that would do that but none of them work on Star Trek.

  18. Re:Do we have a war on social networking yet? on Proxy Sites Offer Secret Passage to Myspace · · Score: 1

    He's probably talking about UUCP.

  19. Re:Nanoweapons scare me on Lifeboat Foundation Nanoshield · · Score: 1
    Do you think they could out-perform white blood cells?
    Yes, especially if they're based off of the genetic code for white blood cells.
  20. Re:Dependency hell on What's Fedora Up To? Ask the Project Leader · · Score: 1
    If you have the knowledge to tweak compile options on a FreeBSD machine, you're probably just as comfortable editing the .spec file of a source rpm and rebuilding it to get rid of those pesky dependencies.
    No, I'm not. With Gentoo, you can just put "Don't have X support for gnuseog" or "Never include X support unless you absolutely have to" instead of removing the X dependency each time.
  21. Re:Says you. on What's Fedora Up To? Ask the Project Leader · · Score: 1

    He's talking about Debian. Personally, after discovering Gentoo, I wouldn't be caught dead with binary packages ever again. Binary packages are the definition of old and busted.

  22. Re:I so would have Digged that comment... on The Sometimes Fallacy of The Long Tail · · Score: 1

    Or maybe he didn't mention AJAX, Web 2.0, Google, or trackback because you would not have digged that comment.

  23. Re:That math makes no sense to me. Help me out. on An Older, Larger Universe · · Score: 1
    He, to think of it, who was the bastard that ejaculated this universe out?
    I believe His name is Yahweh or something.
  24. Re:Atlantis rising on Lotus 'Agenda' Returns as Open-Source 'Chandler' · · Score: 1

    Only if you don't have a ZPM with which to cloak the city. And if the Wraith already know, make sure you have drones.

  25. Re:Java != Javascript on Open Source AJAX toolkits · · Score: 1

    I always thought that Java was a beyond-bastardized Smalltalk.
