  1. Re:Paperless on Hardware for a Paperless Business? · · Score: 1

    Save the trees!

    :-)

  2. Re:Elitism on Mandriva Linux 2006 Released · · Score: 2, Informative

    Yes, because it's totally Mandr[ake|iva]'s fault that LG decided to use a certain ATAPI command (which, according to ATAPI spec, should do nothing or return an error) and make it nuke the firmware. For the record, I experienced the same problem on 2 other mainstream distros which I shall not name, to minimise flamewars.

  3. Re:Malone on Bug Tracking Across Multiple Code Streams? · · Score: 1

    That's why he said its the *goal* of the project. Just reading GP's post it seems pretty obvious that Malone is not a finished product.

  4. Re:its just AOL on HP to Install Netscape on all new PCs · · Score: 1
    Do you not do any Windows Updates?

    Unless I'm mistaken, you have to use IE for that...
    Unless you configure automatic update (obviously with sane settings that prompt before installing), yes you do need IE for that.
  5. Re:And many more... on Happy 7th Birthday Google! · · Score: 1

    Ballmer will bee too busy chanting "GVelopers! GVelopers! GVelopers!" and throwing his GChair at GPeople.

  6. Re:A search for "web browser"... on Opera Reaches 1 Million Downloads Thanks To Google · · Score: 1
    Try doing a search on "free webbrowser". Number one is not what you expect...
    Except that your link doesn't search for "free webbrowser", just "free browser". A search for "free webbrowser" is rather different.
  7. Re:Pre-beta? on Under the Hood of Office 12 · · Score: 1

    I imagine pre-beta is what most folks would refer to as "Alpha", i.e. "Mostly working, still missing key features, undoubtedly buggy".

  8. Re:Hey dude, on Under the Hood of Office 12 · · Score: 0, Redundant

    They're for Mac.

  9. Re:Global Warming on Mars? on Mars Orbiter Sees Changes · · Score: 1

    That's no moon. That's a Hummer.

  10. Re:Nuclear Fusion on Linux Five Years Away From Mainstream · · Score: 1

    Richard M Stallman, is that you?

  11. Re:Oh goody. on New Round of P2P Lawsuits from Hollywood · · Score: 1
    You won't know if a file is a movie, music, program, or pure garbage until it's downloaded, let alone if it is being distributed without permission.
    Yes, it'd be much easier if files were named for easy identification, something like "Star Wars Episode 3.avi", instead of some random name.

    Oh wait...
  12. Re:Using Google Talk on Google, Skype and the Future of IM · · Score: 2, Funny

    s/dim-wit/yet

  13. Re:In the words of Ali G... on Quake 3 Source Code to be Released · · Score: 1

    Haven't seen the character of Ali G in a while myself, but Sacha did the voice for the lemur King Julien in Madagascar. Hilarious!

  14. Re:Broken Link, Naming Contest. on Planet X Larger Than Pluto? · · Score: 1

    Oh man, I think I need to get into the printing business and get me an exclusive contract on updating all the Plutonites' letterheads and business cards.

  15. Re:Inconsistent Rant on Bob Metcalfe on Open Source, IPv6, IETF · · Score: 1

    So that makes their plane about as reliable as every Ford car I've ever seen, up to the present day. :P

    And I'm pretty sure the Wright plane didn't leak oil all over the place. ;-)

  16. Re:This keyboard will be great for mapping keys on Update on the Optimus Keyboard · · Score: 1

    I hope the folks behind Optimus patent this idea. This is the kind of thing patents were meant for.

  17. Re:Raise your hand... on 'MP3' Celebrates its Tenth Anniversary · · Score: 1

    *raises hand*

    After that, Winamp 1.7. Still using Winamp.

  18. Re:!= accident. on Attack of the Corporate Weasel Words · · Score: 1

    "Sudden change in momentum" could be me pulling away from traffic lights too.

  19. Re:Help on After 20 Years, Phrack's Final Issue Looms · · Score: 2, Funny

    You misspelled "phorking" and "phast".

  20. Mandatory? on EU Proposes Online Music System · · Score: 1

    Mandatory? Surely you mean optional?

    wrong way around, it was 97's younger brother and 2000's older brother.

  22. Re:It's not for consumers... on Longhorn Beta Begins · · Score: 0, Troll

    Didya hear that *whoosh*? ;-)
