  1. Re:Yeah.. on Universal Remote's Days Are Numbered · · Score: 5, Funny

    Yeah, I really want to be lying on the couch underneath a blanket, and fiddling with/rolling over onto my touchscreen smartphone.

    That's why you need a Snuggie! Those old fashioned blankets make it impossible to do simple things like change the channel or answer a phone.

  2. Re:MPG is an obsolete measurement on 1000-mph Car Planned · · Score: 4, Funny

    Yeah, and I bet the Dodge Neon you strap those rockets to hold up real good at 1000mph. It takes some engineering to withstand those kind of forces without blowing the car and the driver into tiny pieces. But please give me a call when you try your little experiment - I'd love to watch.

  3. Re:Protection of the tech jobs market on Judge Rejects H-1B Visa Injunction · · Score: 1, Troll

    And the reason that Linux is more popular outside the US, is because more Linux programmers are from outside the US. See? I can use circular logic too.

  4. Re:Where can I get a list of these TLD to block ou on McAfee Picks the Most Dangerous TLDs · · Score: 1

    Are you crazy? Prince Abu Madu is in the process right now of sending me a check for $500,000. All I had to do was send him $5000 to cover the bank release charges. So you go ahead and keep thinking nothing good comes from .ng - I'll be laughing at you from my yacht.

  6. Re:Heh... on HP Seals the Deal, Buys EDS For $14B · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Yeah because I'm sure the few hundred dollars they spent on coke and sporks in a year cut REAL deep into the $9.6billion profit from last year. Treating people like their actually human and throwing them a few tiny perks here and there goes a long way.

  7. Re:just taking care to take care. on Anti-Terrorism and the Death of the Chemistry Set · · Score: 1

    Surprised chemistry sets didn't go this route long ago, what with their potential to put together explosives approaching that of a couple firecrackers combined! Warm fuzzies.

    Oh sure, one set can make an explosive with the power of a couple firecrackers, but what happens when those Evildoers(tm) get their hands on One Billion sets?
    Thank God the Bush administration has thought of this.

    Ahh - If only I had some points to give for Time Bandits references.

    He's talking about reading Ox hides to get information - What's next? Casting chicken bones, or reading tea leaves? Oh, OXIDES - never mind, he's not a troll.

    Wait, Her dad's a transvestite?

    Just come up with a list of porn sites - How many porn sites could there possibly be on the internet?

    No way. That was a real 250 GT. And they dropped it 100 feet too. Really.

  13. Re:My Guesses & Opinions on Linux Users Banned From World of Warcraft? · · Score: 1
    I suppose they could just be excepting any client that reports as being run on a Mac, but if that were the case, all of the people working to hack the system would just switch to running on a Mac.
    It's just a guess, but I'd tend to think that MOST people trying to cheat or hack are kids still living in mom & dad's house. I can't believe that many of them would be able to convince their parents to go out and buy a brand new (expensive) Mac so they can cheat in a game. Even if they're not a kid, I'd find it hard to believe any gamer would go out and buy a new Mac just to cheat. Plus if you've ever visited any of the cheat or hack sites you'll find that pre-written programs to hack and cheat with are written for Windows. That makes it a whole lot easier for the kiddies running Windows to cheat, and means that if you want to cheat on the Mac you need to write your own. If I were working in Blizzard's anti-cheat department, I'd focus my limited time and resources on stopping the most cheaters which happen to be Windows based.
  14. Re:An old co-worker used to say... on Self Cleaning Mouse · · Score: 1

    Two guys walk into a bathroom, and both take a leak.
    The first guy starts walking out without washing his hands at which point the second guy says, "My mother taught me to always wash my hands after using the bathroom."
    The First guy replies, "Well my mother taught me not to piss on my hands."

  15. Re:Business Students... on Which Grad Students Cheat the Most? · · Score: 1

    This got modded funny, but I drive an extra 30 minutes every day to avoid the Big Dig tunnels. I figure it's just a matter of time before one of them is full of Boston Harbor water.
