  1. Most important feature on What Do You Look For in a Big Iron Review? · · Score: 5, Funny

    If you knew our operations guy, you would test resistance to physical attacks.

  2. Re:Thanks! on Ohio Law Could Send Spammers To Jail · · Score: 1

    I get them on PacketNews.com. And yes, despite the original response I'm already a FF user.

  3. Thanks! on Ohio Law Could Send Spammers To Jail · · Score: 4, Funny

    Save me from popups while you're at it.

  4. Russian Oil Mafia? on Energia Reveals New Russian Spacecraft · · Score: 1

    See, they want to be like the US too.

  5. Re:Yes, the gov't should fund it, and here's why.. on Paralyzed Woman Walks Again · · Score: 1

    Additionally, do you think industry would work towards a CURE for a disease when they're already making a killing (no pun intended) on the TREATMENT?

  6. Bought my iPod Mini on Monday on Some iPod Fans Dump PCs For Macs · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I had always thought that Mac users were a rabid, elitist group until I started using the iPod. It was an upgrade from my older iRiver player. I'm far too entrenched in my PC to switch, but I'll admit that I'm Mac-curious now.

  7. Interesting quote from article on FireFox Sets the World Ablaze · · Score: 5, Insightful

    "Having a good open-source browser that appears to be evolving very quickly exposes Microsoft to the risk that Mozilla will get good enough to start luring folks to it."

    Over 1 million downloads in one day. I think the luring may have already begun.

  8. This means... on Transgaming to Support Half Life 2 Under Linux · · Score: 3, Funny

    Steamed pengiun for dinner!

  9. Installation on Fl. County Halts FTTP Until Installation Is Safer · · Score: 1

    Am I the only one that took a second to make the leap from software to hardware when I hear the word 'installation'?

  10. Re:LSB? on Four Linux Vendors Agree On An LSB Implemenation · · Score: 5, Funny

    LSB is obviously USB for Linux. Version 2.0 should offer twice as much throughput as LSB 1.0.

  11. How to go triple platinum overnight: on Shawn Fanning Is Back Into Digital Music · · Score: 5, Funny

    FTA:Record executives say they are also interested in a feature that will track peer-to-peer requests for songs that aren't yet licensed for digital distribution.

    Just release a single titled "Teen sex anime barnyard hack crack lolita".

  12. Anyone else notice: on Netscape Reborn? · · Score: 1

    FTA: [...]the revamped browser will likely extend Firefox's feature set[...]

    That's exactly what I like about Firefox. It doesn't NEED a bunch of other crap bloating it.

  13. This is the wrong approach. on Students Tracked By RFID · · Score: 3, Insightful

    If the student to teacher ratio is so large that the instructor can't even accurately take role, what is the level of education going to be like?

  14. Coldest place on Earth? on Chinese Team Heading for Coldest Spot on Earth · · Score: 2, Funny

    They obviously haven't been in our server room.

  15. Why is there no Linux DVD software? on MPAA Sues Movie-Swappers · · Score: 1

    I didn't know there wasn't any legal software on the market. Can someone tell me why?

  16. Re:Yes, it will suck. on Disney to Make Toy Story 3 Without Pixar · · Score: 1

    Exactly my point. Pixar is a tough act to follow, too. There's a certain style to their work that audiences have come to appreciate and expect. The characters are only part of the story. Perhaps 'suck' is too harsh. 'Disappoint' may be more appropriate.

    Who cares as long as it makes money though, right?

  17. Yes, it will suck. on Disney to Make Toy Story 3 Without Pixar · · Score: 1

    Just like the Aladin sequel did without Robin Williams as the genie.

  18. A key component of news on Firefox News Roundup · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    It should be NEW. This is OLDs.

  19. Re:Ummmmm on Patrick Volkerding Battles Mystery Illness · · Score: 1

    He's not asking for help to save a few bucks. He's asking for help to expedite his access to medication. If your RTFA (or mirror) he's waiting consultation at the end of the week with another docter before they'll allow him access to IV antibiotics.

    Dick.

  20. You mean people write code? on The State of Natural Language Programming · · Score: 1

    I thought it was some kind of Code Gnome(tm) that only came out at night.

    We used to leave a case of Mountain Dew out for them in the computer labs in college.

  21. How long until PETA throws a fit? on Robots to Rid Us of Cockroaches? · · Score: 1

    I mean, cockroaches ARE animals. Right?

  22. Re:NSFW on Tom's Holiday Buying Guide · · Score: 1

    There's a big difference, and not all work places are the same. We're allowed to use our internet connection for personal business during lunch/breaks/personal time as long as the use is reasonable. No porn, no gambling, no questionable sites. The rule is, if you have to ask, you shouldn't do it. Personal email is fine, paying bills online is fine, looking at a gift guide for the holidays is fine. Scantily clad women... Probably not fine.

  23. US Military has been using this for years. on Bill Gates Proclaims End of Passwords · · Score: 2, Informative

    Newer US Military ID cards (~last 2 years)have a 'chip' in them that allow instant login to DOD computer systems. It also stores the user's medical records.

  24. Lucky one? on The Verdict on WinXP SP2? · · Score: 1

    I installed SP2 and had absolutely no problems. It's easy to bash MS and chant the open source mantra, but XP works well for me, and SP2 didn't give me any problems at all. Maybe I'm the minority here. (Ya think?)

  25. Right. on Are Usability & Security Opposites in Computing? · · Score: 1

    Because nothing makes a system more usable than being completely pwned.
