  1. Re:Pages come with a translation on Domesday Book Goes Online · · Score: 1

    I honestly think that's impossible. I don't think even Daniel Jackson can translate those.

  2. Re:Tips on How to Handle Political Telemarketing? · · Score: 2, Funny

    I'm not getting a telezapper until it actually zaps telemarketers.

  3. Re:s/windows/google/g on The Ad-Supported Operating System · · Score: 1

    Gmail isn't a complete OS as far as I can tell.

  4. Re:Pro-Gress vs Con-Gress on Tracking the Congressional Attention Span · · Score: 1

    The actual opposite of progress would be contragress or regress.

  5. Re:Not lawful, is it? on U.S. Senate Ratifies Cybercrime Treaty · · Score: 1

    They cane you for chewing gum in Singapore.

  6. Re:The answer is apparent. on Moon's Bulge Explained · · Score: 1

    Well, if 70% of the population only owns one gun, they'll all be fighting over who gets to use it. But hopefully less than 70% of Scots lack a sense of humo(u)r.

  7. Re:Throw bird. on Don't Go Down Memory Lane? · · Score: 1

    Why'd you get rid of the BA? You typed that correctly. Shouldn't it be BAGN^H^HNG?

  8. Re:Oregon Trail on Don't Go Down Memory Lane? · · Score: 1

    Isn't that Darwinia?

  9. At least it's better than QuickTime on Mozilla VP Talks the State of Firefox · · Score: 1

    But for some reason you give Apple a free pass.

  10. Command and Conquer had a much smarter interface on Windows Games on Macs Without Windows · · Score: 1

    which only requires rightclick to deselect. Sadly, the gaming world seems to, against all logic and reason, prefer Blizzard's interfaces.

  11. Re:I don't get it on Windows Games on Macs Without Windows · · Score: 1

    Nethack, of course. There are even OpenGL versions of it now.

  12. Re:Enough FUD on What's Wrong with Modern Console Design? · · Score: 1

    FUD, like irony, has expanded in meaning. Except that Alanis Morrisette hasn't done a song about FUD yet...

  13. Re:Old games have advantages on Don't Go Down Memory Lane? · · Score: 3, Interesting
    as opposed to having games which take nigh on 40 hours now.
    If Valve isn't just blowing steam(pun semi-intended), we might be going full-circle there.
  14. Re:The answer is apparent. on Moon's Bulge Explained · · Score: 1

    The day they stop calling us "Yanks". That's also when I'm going to stop calling Scots English.

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

    Considering all they're trying to do to kill Stargate(changing the times, not advertizing it enough, putting on USA shows at the same time, the whole BSG time change) I don't think selling Trek to the Sci-Fi channel would be a very good idea.

  16. Re:Cider that's distilled from WINE on Windows Games on Macs Without Windows · · Score: 3, Funny

    I think you mean: "It's not truthy until Steve Colbert says it's truthy."

  17. I *like* dupes. on Defining Clicks and Click Fraud · · Score: 1, Insightful

    I never caught this the first time around.

  18. Re:Nonsense. on An Early Look at Freespire Linux · · Score: 1

    Yes, twitter makes incredibly great posts.

  19. Re:Dennis Miller is a coward on Stephen Colbert Wikipedia Prank Backfires · · Score: 1

    I think that poster was actually part of a demonstration of the fact, first proved by Chomsky, that a statement can have grammatical consistency. Chomsky's example was "Colorless green ideas sleep furiously" but this example is much better.

  20. Re:This is why... on Symantec Labels Vicars' Software as Spyware · · Score: 1

    God would never use proprietary hardware.

  21. Re:At first. on Matt Damon as Kirk in Star Trek XI? · · Score: 1

    I didn't know that Matt was a background process...

  22. Re:Cryptic? on Lead PHP Developer Quits · · Score: 1

    When the time comes, cut the green one. I still would like to know what the hell that means.

  23. Re:Has had? on Lead PHP Developer Quits · · Score: 1

    I think he said one and not one percent. One person is always singular AFAIK.

  24. Re:Shock! on Lead PHP Developer Quits · · Score: 1

    Irony is when a song about irony doesn't have a single example of irony in it.

  25. I may be in the minority but I *like* dupes on Text-Mining Technique Intelligently Learns Topics · · Score: 1

    I didn't catch this article the first time around.
