  1. Fine print... on Microsoft Will Pay If Its Bugs Damage Your Data · · Score: 5, Funny

    Please send in your request along with $4.99 for shipping/handling...

  2. Re:Where'd the last story go? on Dvorak on How Microsoft Can Kill Linux · · Score: 1

    Click parent. I imagine this may get modded offtopic, too...but I wanted to answer your question. I found the comment.

  3. Re:Where'd the last story go? on Dvorak on How Microsoft Can Kill Linux · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    They didn't remove the comment. It was just modded down. I think you can change your settings such that it will be viewed. Or just click X replies below your current threshold at the bottom of the page.

  4. But how does Microsoft keep making money? on Dvorak on How Microsoft Can Kill Linux · · Score: 1

    Sure they sell the drivers, but how often does someone need to buy a whole new set?

    And if it really took off, developers would start making their drivers for linux anyway.

  5. Re:Contradiction on Star Wars Episode 3 Play-By-Play In Pictures · · Score: 1

    Sounds like another star wars movie in the making.

  6. Re:MPAA's Move on Netflix Pioneers Industry To Get Left in the Dust? · · Score: 1

    Fundamentaly, when someone thinks of mail delivered DVDs they think netflix.
    There's still a lot of people who have heard of the idea but don't have netflix in mind. If you asked them to name a company that can deliver DVDs by mail they couldn't tell you. They just know a friend or brother does that. The first time they see a commercial for the walmart service may be the first time they try it.

  7. Re:I doubt this is true + blockbuster vs. Netflix on Netflix Pioneers Industry To Get Left in the Dust? · · Score: 1

    How can 6+ movies a week turn out to be well under 10 hours a week? Even if every movie is only 90 minutes 6 comes out to be 9 hours. That's not counting the + part of your comment nor all the many movies that are 2+ hours.

  8. Ctrl+Alt+Del = ..... on Wearable PC with an Artificial-Reality Helmet · · Score: 4, Funny

    They are training the soldiers to pat their head, rub their tummies and wiggle their toes simultaneously to reboot.

  9. "It runs under Windows" on Wearable PC with an Artificial-Reality Helmet · · Score: 1

    So what would the virtual reality equivalent of the blue screen of death be?

  10. Re:OMFG, READ THE LAW! on Public Park Designated Copyrighted Space · · Score: 2, Funny

    hmmm maybe only their parents could be able to copyright them because they are the original creators?

  11. MS employee says Windows is safer because... on MS Security Chief Says Windows is Safer Than Linux · · Score: 5, Funny

    MS employee says Windows is safer because using Linux puts him in danger of being fired.

  12. Re:linux speed of response? on Bill Gates Interview w/ Spiegel · · Score: 1
    There you go people. Linux is even more significantly affected by virus attacks than Windows.
    Of course Linux is more affected. Linux is still smaller than Windows. So every Windows user that switches to Linux after a virus attack affects Linux more than it affects Windows. The difference is that Linux is positively affected by the virus attacks while Windows is negatively affected.
  13. Interoperability between IE and Outlook Express on Bill Gates Claims OSS Has Poor Interoperability · · Score: 3, Funny

    So when someone designs a virus for outlook express it can even work when opened at the hotmail website with internet explorer.

  14. Exception on flag burning on U.S. Kids Don't Understand First Amendment · · Score: 1
    Three in four students said flag burning is illegal. It's not.

    The urban legend when I was a kid was that if the flag touched the ground you had to burn it.

  15. Liger... on Human Animal Hybrid Created in Lab · · Score: 1
    Forget monkey man. I want a liger!

    It's pretty much my favorite animal. It's like a lion and a tiger mixed... bred for its skills in magic.

  16. Re:There are other approaches on Oregon's Governor Backs Open Source Development · · Score: 1

    Or another approach would be for many cake connoisseurs to band together and put forth some time to help because they believe that making quality cakes is worthwhile and want everyone to have access to to great cakes.

  17. Re:Wait... on Oregon's Governor Backs Open Source Development · · Score: 3, Insightful

    There are lots of voluntary and free programs in the US and have been since its inception. How have soup kitchens, the scouting program, and church service projects effected the US economy? Why should we expect open source software to have any different effect?

  18. Free software AND... on Oregon's Governor Backs Open Source Development · · Score: 1

    as an added bonus--no sales tax for everything that isn't free!

  19. FoxyG.... on Firefox Lead Now Working For Google · · Score: 1
