  1. I can see it now... on Military MMOG Experiments · · Score: 1

    Lvl 35 tank LFG for Tikrit, no n00bs please

    At least now when you say tank, you mean tank! :)

  2. This is stupid on U.S. Makes Plans for GPS Shutdown · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Mostly terrorist attacks occur quickly and without warning, and by the time the authorities gets a clue about what is going on, the attack most likely is over - as per 9/11. Shutting down the GPS network in such an event would only make it infinitely harder for rescue workers and police to coordinate relief efforts.

  3. Re:Anything's better than a turd on Mozilla Project Officially Releases Firefox 0.9 · · Score: 2, Funny

    Hey, I resent that! I'm very proud of my Renault Twingo. Comparing it to IE is unfair.

    :)

  4. No complaints now, but... on Cell-Phone Wars · · Score: 5, Insightful

    ...just wait until someone blocks a 911 call.

  5. Re:So, the right one? on Ridiculous Game Character Names Exposed · · Score: 1

    I've seen two explanations on the name Donkey Kong on the Web, the first one which seems more plausible to me is that the real name was supposed to be Monkey Kong. The other explanation is that the name is a rough translation of the Japanese term 'stubborn monkey' which sounds a bit far fetched..

  6. Combine this with RFID... on IETF Draft Sets up Public Namespaces · · Score: 2, Interesting

    ...and you can address (almost) everything! Look forward to a URI coming your way any time now..

    What karma?

  7. Re:What about size? on New US $20 bills Released, Colors & Layout Change · · Score: 1

    Cent, actually. Or if you want to be sure that there is no mixup with other cents you can call the Euro Cents.

  8. The circle is closed on Using Sound To Test Internet Connections · · Score: 1

    ..after all, submarines have been using an audible 'ping' for quite some time.
