  1. Sky captain on Fuel Loss May Cut Short GlobalFlyer's Journey · · Score: 5, Funny

    Why not just land on a flying fortess and never really stop?

  2. Re:Acrobat Reader on Adobe Unveils Open Source Library · · Score: 1

    d00d, gimp is teh awsomezorz! You are going to, umm, kill children if you don't use OSS. So switch.

  3. Re:Does it run Ubuntu...? on Linux Handhelds in African Schools · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Imagine a beowulf cluster of these running Ubuntu...

  4. Re:Makes sense on Was the Mac mini Intended to Have an iPod dock? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    But those multi-button mice are so confusing!

  5. Real department... on RFID + Dart gun = DartMail! · · Score: 1

    This seems to be from the ever-expanding stolen-several-days-after-being-on-hackaday depatment.

  6. Tidbit on Solar Power Put to Good Use · · Score: 1

    IIRC, my step-mom's company, Terion provides tracking for this.

  7. Re:No, this is different on Visa To Push Swipeless Credit Cards · · Score: 1

    It's not like current credit cards are so impressively secure.

  8. Re:The correct answer is.... on BIOS-Approved PCI Cards For Laptops · · Score: 1

    Can anyone confirm this?

  9. Re:Look at it from MS's standpoint on Trouble Brewing at the W3C? · · Score: 1

    it costs them money to support it

    Since when have they put any effort into supporting new standards?

    (note: there is a level of seriousness here)

  10. Re:I think on Microsoft Blocking Wine Users From Downloads Site · · Score: 1

    So much they apparently added innappropriate comments to their code.

  11. Re:Drops? on Mozilla Drops Support for International Domains · · Score: 1

    That was the implication.

  12. Re:I wonder what MS has stolen from firefox on IE7 Announced for Longhorn and WinXP · · Score: 1

    Who wants to bet we'll see 'tabs' in IE7

    I'll have you know that I have a Microsoft keyboard, and it has tab, so I don't know what you could mean.

  13. Re:Skype on VoIP for Deployed Soldiers? · · Score: 1

    I definately have a mental picture of it.

  14. Re:Next on /.: Inside Big Mac Without Cheese on Inside Windows XP Reduced Media Edition · · Score: 1

    I left out the fact that I add some juice and dregs from a pickle jar, because I don't typically keep relish around. But I knew that was ghetto.

    And the tartar sauce at the market and restaurants seems like more than that to me. In my limited culinary experience, I thought you were supposed to add things like mustard seed, onion, garlic, and lemon juice.

  15. Re:Who cares? on Server Inside a Suitcase · · Score: 1

    mini-ATX is a form factor?

  16. Re:Yep. on Server Inside a Suitcase · · Score: 1

    This will go over well with airport security.

    Made me think of this mini-itx project.

  17. Are you sure... on College Students Turn Away From Landlines · · Score: 1

    this isn't from the "No Shit" department?

  18. Re:Next on /.: Inside Big Mac Without Cheese on Inside Windows XP Reduced Media Edition · · Score: 1

    My mom (and hence, I) always made it with mayo, not tartar sauce.

  19. Re:Next on /.: Inside Big Mac Without Cheese on Inside Windows XP Reduced Media Edition · · Score: 1

    The FDA has recently required the renaming "semi-edible oil product."

  20. Re:As long as.... on Should Dual Cores Require Dual Licenses? · · Score: 1

    Currently many people don't pay once for every piece of software they purchase.

    Seriously, though, this is a different market. Oracle already charges per processor, because of the type of clientelle they have, something that doesn't take place with most software.

  21. Re:Even better... on Why MS is Not Opening More Source Code · · Score: 1

    I just laughed at a SCO joke... I HATE THEE, /.!

  22. Re:psh, Star Trek beats that anyday on Use A Regular Phone For Cellphone Calls · · Score: 1

    We damn near could do it. I am utterly convinced we could build a phone similar to a bulky bluetooth headset. Simple, small screen (like the Jabra BT800), no games, SMS, none of that crap. Voice dialing (including voice input of numbers) or an optional BT dialer if we can fit it. Take away the buttons and screens, and the things are practically non-existant. Battery would be most of the bulk of the headset-phone.

  23. Re:My memory Usage on Where Have All The Cycles Gone? · · Score: 1

    Speaking of MATLAB, why is it that it uses like 30MiB when it is closed?

  24. Re:Good luck! on Family Guy Video Game in the Works · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Hello, the old Konami arcade game?

  25. Re:Mmm on Sushi Prepared on a Printer · · Score: 1

    And more importantly, does it run Eelix?
