  1. Re:live-CD on Andy Tanenbaum Releases Minix 3 · · Score: 2, Funny

    Well before I burn the bandwidth, does it have KDE or Gnome?

  2. Re:Employ Me on NASA Puts A Stop To Space Romance · · Score: 0

    Ah, you're the 'guy' who also find Star Wars more appealing than both zero gravity and sex...I'd heard stories, but you confirm it. May the fist be with you.

  3. What is this garbage on iPod Nano Scratches Result In Suit · · Score: 0

    So what product was it that said it best? Yeah, that's right, shampoo, rinse and repeat. Yawn.

    On the 29th of September ./'rs were informed that Apple had agreed to fix the nanos with a faulty screen due to manufactures.We all know that its tiny and get stuck places normal ipods never have.

  4. What the future holds on Novell Layoffs Coming This Month? · · Score: 0

    I would think that the next year will really show us the future of Novell in the enterprise. With all that Novell has been doing with Suse. Not one my favorite distros nor is Novell my prefered directory service. As in the past, my prediction is that it will be a slow and painful death for Novell. Either that or it will be bought up in chunks, not really coming out the same company in the end.

  5. Re:Browser UI on Firefox-based Social Browser Flock Launches · · Score: 2, Funny

    dude totally. dis be myspace wit mo buttons! sweet....

  6. Who'd have thought... on Windows Vista Build 5231 Review · · Score: -1, Redundant

    Wow, an actual release, not a leak? Incredible.

  7. and on the same day... on Google Changes Privacy Policy · · Score: 0

    ...they released the toolbar for firefox that has AutoFill for faster online shopping! I'll bet Yahoo released that in relation to this 'new' release of the FF toolbar in a futile attempt to reduce the numbers. Yeah, tin-foil hat, better make that a bodysuit...

  8. I'd have to say... on P2P Users More Likely to Cheat, Shoplift · · Score: 0

    ...this poll is dead on. I don't know about you, but after I go out and electronically steal an entire CD, I just don't feel right until I go to the store and steal the same CD physically. I guess that in some way in my own mind it legitimizes the 'illegal' downloads. As an added bonus, I get to hit the RIAA where it hurts 2x.

  9. Re:That's Nice And All on StarOffice 8 May Be MS Office Killer · · Score: 0

    I suppose that .1% margin is where VHS comes in......LONG LIVE BetaMax!

  10. Hmm,... on Magnetic Computing Takes a Step Forward · · Score: 4, Funny

    Does this mean we'll eventually have computers we can stick to the fridge?

  11. Word of Mouf.... on Dell Launches Flash Music Player · · Score: 4, Funny
    That's the marketing campaign Dell is using on this soon to be failure. And here it is 3 days later...spreading like wildfire I tell ya! Even their own sales reps were unaware.
    "The announcement was so low-key that a Dell UK spokeswoman was unaware of the launch."

  12. I don't know about you, but.... on Preference Engines Side-Effects in Online Retail · · Score: 2, Funny
    "Music discovery is very social," said Jon Herlocker, computer science professor at Oregon State University and co-founder of MusicStrands, which makes music recommendations by tracking what its subscribers do


    It sounds like an oxymoron when a computer science professor talks about something being 'very social'.
  13. Style::Function on Symantec: Mac OS X Becoming a Malware Target · · Score: 1
    ...choosing style over function
    Try this one on for size, ...choosing integrity over revenue

    How you like them Apples?
  14. Re:BPI claims losses, how? on European Piracy Crackdowns · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I would have to agree with you here. Just because I like a song, and chose to download it, does not mean that if I couldn't download it that I would run out and purchase it.

    So therefore, I was not a real sales loss. I think that most people fit in to the same category as myself.

    Also, Y is the guilty party. X only provided the oppertunity for Y, X didn't make Y a Y, Y did.
    Totally crazy and confusing, reminds me of calculus...

  15. Re:Translation... or not. on European Piracy Crackdowns · · Score: 1

    Maybe I'm a bit slow on the take, but it sounds like a horror movie.

    Did you translate Troll 3(Sweedish Collectors Edition)?
