  1. Re:before anyone else does it... on Mac OS X "Tiger" Enters Final Candidate Stage · · Score: 1
    the X was to make it sound cooler and sort of clever, but what comes after?

    OS Xtreme! (they already did it with the Airport)

  2. Re:Guess I'll miss out on Vegas this year too! on COMDEX Cancelled Again · · Score: 1

    There's always the Mint 400

  3. Re:AMSTERDAM VALLON'S N0-SPIN REVIEW OF SONY PSP on PSP Reception Lukewarm in US? · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I think the fact that he called it a 'N0-SPIN' review pretty much guaranteed that it had a serious political agenda.

  4. Re:dummer than a bag of hammers on Book 'Em, Dano · · Score: 1

    It's moron, moran. Get a brain!

  5. Re:I'd go for Beakman's World, personally on The Science Guy Returns · · Score: 5, Funny

    Tell me about it. I'd sooooo bang that fat guy in the rat suit. Wait... what?

  6. Nintendo DS is and always was a gimmick on PSP And DS Duke It Out · · Score: 1, Insightful
    But until then, the Nintendo DS is nothing more than a decent idea being used as a stop-gap to limit the sales of the Sony PSP until the next Game Boy is ready.

    I've thought this from the first time I heard about the Nintendo DS. The whole thing reeks of 'gimmick'. I mean, it's not even called a 'gameboy' for fear of ruining the brand's good name. As someone who, as a young impressionable kid, begged his parents for both a 32X and a Saturn, I think I can smell a cheap stop-gap console from a mile away.

  7. Re:Was it just me... on Intel's 64-Bit Pentium 4s Hit The Streets · · Score: 1

    You're an anti-pentite!

  8. Which once again proves my theory... on Wikipedia Reaches Half a Million Articles · · Score: 1

    Puppies love David Hasselhoff. Wait... I got that wrong, didn't I? (SFW)

  9. Re:Too bad.... on MSN Sponsors Mensa · · Score: 1

    You can't spell Mensa without M S N...

  10. Re:Obvious on Inside the Free iPod Offer · · Score: 2, Funny

    If this were Fark, I'd say it needed an [obvious] tag. That or, "I'd hit it". Whatever.

  11. Re:Get your degree in international business on MIT Urges Brazilian Government to Use Linux · · Score: 1

    What's the point of learning mathematics, science and engineering if you can't use it to improve the world?

  12. Re:Awesome! on Lucas To Redo Star Wars In 3-D · · Score: 1

    No matter how many times I hear that joke, I still laugh.

  13. Re:PERFECT on Joss Whedon to Write/Direct Wonder Woman · · Score: 1

    I hope he includes this scene.

  14. But... on IE7 Details Emerge · · Score: 1

    Yes, but will it be digitally signed?

  15. Small Wurld... on Creative Commons In the News · · Score: 2, Funny
    Sony BMG, Universal Music Group, EMI and Warner Music Group, for instance, inked deals to distribute songs on a fee-based download service run by Wurld Media, a Saratoga Springs, N.Y., peer-to-peer software company.

    Does anyone else think these guys made a serious typo in their Articles of Incorporation and couldn't be bothered to fix it?

  16. Re:Mirror (be nice) on Star Wars Revelations - May the Force Be With You! · · Score: 1
    Oh, and women fighting with light-sabers...sure to provoke some kind of reaction in this crowd.

    I'm sure folks were fighting with their own lightsabers while watching that.

  17. Posted by Timothy (Leary?) on Debian Release Mgr. Proposes Dropping Some Archs · · Score: 3, Funny

    I first read that as "Debian Release Mgr. Proposes Dropping Some Acid"

  18. Re:Someone click that link for me on AOL: We're Not Spying on AIM Users · · Score: 1

    Yeah, it's kind of cartoon making fun of folks who say things like "AOHell" and "Winblows," though there is some naughty language.

  19. Re:What I found interesting. on Donald Knuth On NPR · · Score: 1

    Well said, my friend.

  20. Suggestion on AIM's New Terms Of Service · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Here's a suggestion. Just post the interesting part of the TOS (and a link to it) as your away message. Everyone will read it.

  21. Re:Third Party Clients on AIM's New Terms Of Service · · Score: 5, Informative

    You are drastically misreading that. As the date on the TOS is "February 5, 2004"

  22. New? on AIM's New Terms Of Service · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Seeing as how these terms were introduced on February 5, 2004, I wouldn't exactly call them "new." In fact, I had already come across these ridiculous terms a few months ago in one of my first forays into the world of 'reading the licensing agreement.' I was a little taken aback at first, but then I realized that most of what I, and most people, say over IM is complete garbage anyway and probably hardly worth the expense of any kind of data mining. Plus, if I ever really wanted to send sensitive information, I'd find a better way. So essentially, I think, this is a non-issue. But I could be wrong.

  23. Re:Boycott Episode III - The Only Sensible Action on Star Wars Episode 3 PG-13? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Wow... 'at least a month,' eh? Man up, Nancy, and just don't see it. Whether you see it on opening day or a month later, you're still another 10 bucks in Lucas' pocket. Also, what you're suggesting is not a 'boycott.' Save the word 'boycott' for things that actually matter and save your money by renting a good movie on May 19th. May I suggest Malcolm X?

  24. Re:Better analogy... on OSDL Says SCO Suit Was Good for Linux · · Score: 1
    This is shear brilliance.

    Especially the bad haircut part!

  25. Re:Obligatory Simpsons Reference on Broadband to Kill Off DVD? · · Score: 1

    That's why DVDs will be around for at least as long as it takes for the final Simpsons DVD to be released.
