  1. Re:You could always just use... on .xxx Domain Remains in Limbo · · Score: 1

    http://www.google.co.ck/

    This gives a whole new meaning to "I'm Feeling Lucky".

  2. That's nothing... on Google Searches Used in Murder Trial? · · Score: 1

    Hell, I've done searches on the old "26 ways to kill a person" howto.

    That's nothing. Yesterday I searched for the legal definition of "genocide". No shit, eh, but I guess I'm in deep shit now ;-)

  3. Re:Corporate dishonesty on Microsoft Plans Deliberate Xbox 360 Shortage · · Score: 2, Interesting

    It is not illegal in most cases to place arbitrary restrictions on supply (exceptions being public services, utilities and such).

    Contracts, arrangements or understandings that restrict dealings or affect competition and Bait advertising are illegal in Australia.

  4. It is still taxation... on Bill Gates Donates $258 Million to Fight Malaria · · Score: 1

    ... without representation, and the ends do not justify the means.

  5. Not safe for work alright... on Interview with NMAP Creator Fyodor · · Score: 2, Funny

    She has the current working directory in $PATH.

  6. Re:It's remarkable how wrong this is on Researchers Say Human Brain is Still Evolving · · Score: 1

    You misspelled "privileges" - no sex for you!

  7. Re:America has a choice.. on The Decline of Science and Technology in America · · Score: 2, Funny

    Perhaps you could explain to me the liberal bias inherent in a Greens Function or a multi-body gravitation problem?

    Right there - and you didn't even notice it!

  8. Re:The sonic boom gave me a heart attack on Shuttle Discovery Lands Safely · · Score: 1

    Is there a reason why this landing was so much louder then the others?

    Because usually the landing is in Florida.

  9. Re:95% of which is crap on Yahoo Passes Google in Total Items Searched · · Score: 1
    • useless blogs and geocities "websites": 12 billion
    • clipart, midi and hideous backgrounds for above websites: 6 billion
    • links to outdated or expired user sessions: 1 billion
    • real content: 1 billion, if lucky

    A search engine that returns relevant results: priceless.


  10. They've just copied Debian... on Terrorists Move to Cyberspace · · Score: 1

    Al Queda is just a cause; it's a flag that militant Islamic zealots hoist in order to feel part of a worldwide movement. They're a ragtag bunch of criminals who want to spread their message as far and wide as possible. There are no definate leaders (Bin Laden is just a spokesman), nor do they have a cohesive strategy. Therefore it makes perfect sense that they use the Internet to communicate.

    Now they have the right idea... Debian Al-Qaeda/Terrorism anyone?

  11. ... and safe search! on Hiring Good Programmers Matters · · Score: 1

    Yeah... and he used "safe search" for pictures of Angelina Jolie! What does this guy know?

  12. Re:Bad Wording on Japan Wants to Build 10 Petaflop Supercomputer · · Score: 5, Funny

    The wording of the article is terrible.

    You must be new here.

  13. Re:What's the deal on KDE's future: Plasma & SimpleKDE · · Score: 1

    There's a reason why I have cones in my eyes!

    Eh? Homo sapiens evolved chromatic vision to perceive kicker icons?

  14. Why did the chicken cross the Möbius strip? on What's the Best Geek Joke You Know? · · Score: 1

    To get to the same side.

  15. Re:Wives versus Mistresses... on What's the Best Geek Joke You Know? · · Score: 1

    A doctor, a lawyer, and a computer geek were having a conversation [...]

    The mathematician said that he could see both sides of that argument, [...]

    I don't get it...

  16. Going down the memory hole... on Gentoo Founder on his way to Redmond · · Score: 1

    How can someone be a former founder?

    Information that doesn't suit our purposes goes down the memory hole...

  17. Re:Those who built it on Making Small Steps Against Censorship · · Score: 1

    This works for judgement-day based religions too...

  18. Re:Abolishing copyright on EU Record Companies Push to Extend Copyright · · Score: 2, Insightful
    > Copyright Opponents

    You forgot one:

    • billions of people who like to copy music, who are happy to employ doublespeak arguments to justify this, and who also have one vote each.

  19. McAfee source code on McAfee, Macromedia Flirting With F/OSS Community · · Score: 1

    > Does this mean McAfee is going to start
    > releasing virii for linux too?

    No, that's Richard Stallman's job. This is the source code for the antivirus solution:

    #!/bin/sh

    rm /usr/share/common-licenses/*GPL*

  20. Re:How to Help? on China Forces Websites To Register · · Score: 1

    She'd better hope the Chinese government hasn't broken the encryption... nothing like a false sense of security to smoke out the dissidents.

  21. Re:Finally on Debian Sarge Coming Soon · · Score: 1

    Sure, and Etch will release with these packages: KDE 4.4 GNOME 3.5 gcc 5.1 xorg 7.2 python 3.2

  22. Re:Irresponsible statistics on Engineers Have More Sons, Nurses More Daughters · · Score: 1

    Correlation does imply causality but it might not be a direct cause.

  23. Re:Further down in the report... on Before You Fire the Company Geek · · Score: 1

    These are not deductive implications. These are conditional probablities.

    It is the Prosecutor's fallacy. The "Intelligent Design" finely-tuned universe argument also uses this fallacy.

  24. Re:I don't think so... on Could Microsoft Buy Red Hat? · · Score: 1

    All right, but apart from the kernel, Gnome, Open Office, GCJ, Apache, SELinux, and graphics capabilities, what have the Red Hatters ever done for us?

  25. Re:Wet Cement on The Worst Foods to Eat Over a Keyboard · · Score: 1

    ... or here...
