  1. When asked a second time... on Sonic Torpedo Defense · · Score: 3, Funny
    When asked about the possible ecological effects on marine life the military had no comment.

    When asked the question a second time the military man looked up and said loudly "what, did you say something?"

  2. In other news... on 12Mbps Powerline Broadband Trial Unveiled · · Score: 1

    Tasmanian Police were sent to a house of one of the triallers after the RIAA contacted them to let them know illegal downloads were taking place. A RIAA spokeperson said that their network of informers had told them that the trialler "was using the internet to download ACDC, or something like that"

    "No question now, what had happened to the face of Apple. The Mac Zealots outside looked from Apple to Microsoft, and from Microsoft to Apple, and from Apple to Microsoft again; but already it was impossible to say which was which."

  4. Re:Look at his site using the wayback machine on Australian Man Found Guilty for Hyperlinking · · Score: 1

    ...but look at his disclaimer!!

    http://web.archive.org/web/20031001214601/www.mp3s 4free.net/disclaimer.shtml

    "All audio files can be downloaded for evaluation purposes only and must be deleted after 24 hours! If you like a song, please buy the original. If you don't agree with these rules, our webmaster of mp3s4free.net, our host and our advertisers are not responsible for anything. When you download a song, you take full responsibility for doing so. None of the files on this site are stored on our servers. We are just providing links to remote files."

    IANAL, but that disclaimer looks rock solid. I think I will use this disclaimer on my own sites, and maybe stick it on my car so that if I ever have an accident, even if it's my fault, I can just point at the disclaimer and I'll be in the clear.

  5. Re:Stupidity on Harry Potter's 'Half Blood Prince' Leaked · · Score: 1

    You don't understand!! Now that the 15 copies have been returned, the only people who can read the book before the due date is a small group comprising the owners, managers, staff members, their immediate families, friends and their friend's friends of the 4,000 or so book stores across the USA and around the world.

    I for one will be sleeping better tonight knowing that the 15 copies are back where they belong.

    Problems that occured included that the operators of the reactors did not know how to properly respond to this casuality
    Dude, don't blame Homer - hell, he didn't even graduate high school.

    Homer: [panicking, as warning sirens wail] Gotta think, gotta think...
    Okay, somewhere there's a thingie that tells you how to work this stuff. The uh, the uh, the manual! The manual! Right!
    [hunts under the console] [finds it]
    Agh! It's as fat as a phone book! [opens to first page] [reads]
    `Congratulations on your purchase of a Fissionator 1952 Slow-Fission Reactor'... D'oh! Get to the point, man! [finds an insert]
    Ooh, what's this? [unfolds it, it's a giant schematic]
    D'oh! Who'd have thought a nuclear reactor would be so complicated!

  7. Re:2001 sucked. on Blade Runner Is The Best Sci-Fi Film · · Score: 3, Funny

    ..yeah, but what's with all this "Blue Danube" crap? Everyone knows they stole their music from the Commodore 64 game Elite - when you turn their Docking Computer on. I can't believe they don't have the Elite creators listed in the 2001 credits. Sheesh.
