  1. Re:Appeal on How Do You Find Programming Superstars? · · Score: 2, Informative

    You can't forge a sword out of cotton

    Yes you can. But you will need lots of cotton and lots of pressure.

  2. Re:Well... on Big Red Button Disasters? · · Score: 1

    In Soviet Russia, the 'fire' department would have dealt with you alright.

    Damn kids.

  3. Re:I know you hate the RIAA on RIAA Caught in Tough Legal Situation · · Score: 1

    So, you prevented a customer from buying a CD, and you wonder why is it that you sell less CDs?

  4. Quoting Carl Sagan... on DIY Laptop · · Score: 1

    In order to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first create the universe.

  5. Re:Wunderschöne pink elephant? on Bilingualism Delays Onset of Dementia · · Score: 1

    but can you tell me the difference between "absofuckinglutely" and "abfuckingsolutely," which sounds more correct,

    I find your example excelfuckingent, or fanfuckingtastic at the very least.

    where you would insert "fucking" into "librarian" to preserve the feel of a native speaker?

    "fucking librarian"? :D

    Of course, no offence meant to librarians.

  6. Re:Dead languages... on Bilingualism Delays Onset of Dementia · · Score: 1

    The sole intention of learning Latin strongly suggests that it might be too late for you ;)

  7. Re:That hardly qualifies as a 'hand' on World's Smallest Robotic Hand · · Score: 1

    The Simpsons seem to do fine with their current hand configuration.

  8. Re:Jurassic Park on 10 Terrible Portrayals of Technology in Film · · Score: 1

    Actually, the file viewer used in Jurassic Park was fsn from Silicon Graphics.

  9. Re:Is it just me? on Spanish Region Goes Entirely Open Source · · Score: 1

    Most religions are already open source - apart from the Scientology that is.

    Nonsense. If Linux was as open source as the religions you mention, you would never get to see the kernel, and you would have to trust the drivers to interact with it for you.

    Oh, wait...

  10. Some thought on Judge Creates Own Da Vinci Code · · Score: 2, Interesting

    The judge's hidden string and the titles of the books have the same length.

    smithycodeJaeiextostgpsacgreamqwfkadpmqzv
    TheHolyBloodandtheHolyGrailTheDaVinciCode

    Anybody here who can make something out of it?

  11. Re:Text on Microsoft PowerShell RC1 · · Score: 1

    They purposefully [for instance] use the wrong direction on the slashes to make things incompatible.

    Nonsense. That would like saying English people purposefully drive on the left to make a difference.

    Er, wait...

  12. Re:So the CPU will still be waiting for RAM? on HyperTransport 3.0 Ratified · · Score: 1

    You aught to be more respectful with others' orthographic faults.

  13. Re:So just for perspective... on How Vista Disappoints · · Score: 1

    Can anyone here name any Microsoft product that lived up to its hype?

    Microsoft Bob?

    *Hides*

  14. Re: Microsoft admits? on Microsoft Admits to Hiding Flaw Details · · Score: 1

    There is only one possible reaction to this.

  15. Re:The 8080? No way! The Intel 4004 was smokin' ho on Core Duo - Intel's Best CPU? · · Score: 1

    The world will never again see the day when one manufacturer so dominated the microprocessor market that a single product had a 100.0% market share.

    It will, when Cyberdyne finds the T-1000's microprocessor.

  16. Re:You didn't expect on Mafia Boss Using Crook Crypto Captured · · Score: 1

    A good leader would delegate tasks like communication security to someone who could do that well.

    Well, most surely the man had one or more consiglieri, who most surely got to think twice about suggesting the capo he was doing something stupid.

    And, most surely, this/these sidekick/s got a paid vacation to a nearby lake. With concrete shoes, of course. :P

  17. Not very secure on Aero To Be Unavailable To Pirates · · Score: 1

    I believe Microsoft must know from the start this Aero protection is not very secure, and will be (sooner than later) cracked. If not, why wouldn't they apply it to the full operating system?

    Just my opinion.

  18. Re:I've been there on Help for an MMORPG Addict? · · Score: 1

    Being "4) Profit", I deduce its place is between 3) and 5).

  19. Re:Would a different approach be better? on Ballmer Babies Banned From iPods and Google · · Score: 4, Funny

    Of course, given they are Ballmer's offspring, they would not be simply Linux developers, but Linux developers! Linux developers! Linux developers!

  20. Re:Amazing! on Want to Experience Zero G? Stay in Bed · · Score: 1

    I simply floated wherever I wanted to go

    Just remember you can always do that by throwing yourself at the ground and missing...

  21. Re:the real question is on Windows XP on Intel Mac Confirmed · · Score: 1

    What? People on commodity PCs already have 10.5.5, and I, who sweated every bloody buck for my PowerBook 17", am only allowed 10.4.5?

    I demand explanations!

  22. Re:Leader of the pack, not on No EFI Support for Vista · · Score: 5, Funny

    I used to leave a 150 MB FAT16 partition on my HD to store data for flashing the BIOS

    You must have one hell of a BIOS.

  23. I can't understand why not... on No EFI Support for Vista · · Score: 1

    I can't understand it. After all, XP boots on a Mac...

  24. Re:Why? on Google's New Calendar CL2 · · Score: 1

    It is, if you put 'not' before one of them.

  25. I already have one... on Unlock Your Doors With a Knock Code · · Score: 1

    ... I call it 'Mom'.
