  1. First clue...really the hieroglyphs? on Thieves Find Cemetery of Pharaoh's Dentists · · Score: 3, Funny
    "an eye over a tusk -- which appear frequently among the neat rows of symbols decorating the tombs. He said those hieroglyphs identify the men as dentists."


    As if the stack of old Highlights magazines in the entryway were not clue enough...
  2. *twitch* on Email Servers Will Choke, Says Spamhaus · · Score: 1

    "More common" does not equal "correct", unfortunately. Like "try and" (rather than "try to"), "could of" is just plain wrong.

    Now where did I leave my gabble?

  3. Re:Planetary dingleberries? on Hubble Discovers Dark Spot on Uranus · · Score: 1

    Oh, for some mod points today!

  4. Re:What I really want to know... on Chinese Lasers Blind US Satelites · · Score: 1
    The proliferation of nuclear weapons through the Middle East may be the only thing capable of stabilizing the region at this point.

    You do know that there is a difference between "stabilizing" and "leveling", right? The latter would surely bring on the former, but what a price.

  5. Re:as a non-cynic on HP Spying Incident Included Journalists · · Score: 1

    "therefore, your cynicism is useless, a waste of your time, and a waste of my time"

    I find it ironic that you are apparently not familiar with the maxim "Two wrongs do not make a right." Or, perhaps "Two bits of wasted time are not productive."

  6. Re:I may want one of these after all on Microsoft leaks Zune Details in FCC filing · · Score: 1

    And as a sure sign that I am getting old: iPods *ARE* lame.

  7. Re:Well written, but on Windows vs Mac Security · · Score: 2, Informative

    Sweet Jeebus, I hope you are joking here and are fully aware that all that does is remove the IE shortcuts from the Start Menu and Desktop. If not...wow.

  8. Not for prevention of S.A.D. ... DAMMIT! on Ever-Happy Mouse Sheds Light on Depression · · Score: 1

    When I first (mis-)read the title of this article, I was hoping someone had invented a sunlight-emitting pointing device to help prevent seasonal affective disorder.

    Nope. It looks like my second winter here in Seattle will be as bleak as the first. *sigh*

  9. Re:"Crowds are Wise" ?!? on The Tech Support of the Crowds · · Score: 1

    Agreed. Whenever I see the word "crowd" I read it as "herd".

  10. Re:Your Answer, Stephen on Stephen Hawking Asks The Internet a Question · · Score: 1

    "high growth countries like Africa" Isn't that country on the continent of Ethiopia?

  11. Re:Ppeople? on Windows Genuine Advantage Makes Few Friends · · Score: 1

    Ppotentially...

  12. Ppeople? on Windows Genuine Advantage Makes Few Friends · · Score: 2, Funny

    Pee people? Pea people? WTF is with the same typo about 8 times? O_O

  13. Re:And Windows/Microsoft update on Browsers Fighting to Keep up with the Web · · Score: 1

    I've mitigated this pain in my life by installing the IE Tab extension and telling it to use IE's engine for *.microsoft.com. Sure, it still really *is* IE underneath it all, but it sure is fun looking at WindowsUpdate running in a Firefox window.

  14. SLI on a laptop? on Alienware GeForce 7900 SLI Notebook Tested · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    I must just be getting old. Why the HELL would anyone even want to do this? To prove that he has no use for a woman? To show that he has more money than sense? I really just do not get it.

  15. Not an American Phrase on High Court Trims Whistleblower Rights · · Score: 1

    "Meet the new boss, same as the old boss."

    The Who hailed from the UK, didn't they? *wink*

  16. fight against pirrracy on MPAA Being Sued For Allegedly Hacking Torrentspy · · Score: 1

    Arrrrrrrrr!

  17. Twice? on MS Word Zero-Day Exploit Found · · Score: 2, Insightful
    way too many people will open this without thinking twice
    I'd be happy if more people thought ONCE before opening attachments.
  18. Photoshop...on a laptop... on Apple MacBook Pro 'Fastest Windows XP Notebook'? · · Score: 1

    Sorry...this is a big "who the fizzuck cares" article. Anyone purposely running Photoshop on a laptop needs their head examined. Get a desktop for this sort of thing, for chrissakes.

  19. Re:Some tips on Time Management for System Administrators · · Score: 3, Funny

    It was a password problem. Emailing a fresh one for you.

  20. Re:BFD on Linux Boots on Treo 650 · · Score: 1

    Heh-heh...flush the cache...heh-heh...

  21. Digged? on Sony Rootkit Phones Home · · Score: 1

    Holy Crazy Conjugations, Batman!

  22. Re:privacy smivacy on Google Changes Privacy Policy · · Score: 2, Funny

    Not to pick nits, but I think the correct term would be "Privacy Schmivacy". A subtle difference, no doubt, but one that makes me feel important.

  23. Re:The big question? on Half-Life 2 - Aftermath · · Score: 1

    Amen, brother.

  24. Re:st00pid on 'Geek Speak' Confuses Net Users · · Score: 1

    Or ph@t. Which one is a bad thing again?

  25. Re:Older Hardware on Debian Release Mgr. Proposes Dropping Some Archs · · Score: 1

    "Various kinds of historical preservation is seen as valuable in other fields culture, why not also in computers?"

    Isn't that what museums are for? O_o /me resumes daydreaming about smooches
