    It was TV Offal.

    Rimmer - Oh yes? What's it called?
    Cat - Soliciumfrankolithicmixyalebidiumrixydixydoxydexyd roxide. You look surprised.
    Rimmer - I never thought I'd ever hear you say that. Can you write it down for me?
    Cat - Certainly. Can I have an extremely *long* piece of paper, my dear?

    ...or that some asshat exploits a security hole in your wifi-enabled belt buckle and your pants fall down while you're in town shopping for an internet-enabled screwdriver that has a camera and mp5 player built into it. Man, I'm so ahead of my time.

  4. I, for one, on Microsoft Remains Firm On Ending VB6 Support · · Score: 1

    The cosmic ray blast was measured at 10,000 trillion trillion trillion watts of power!"

    Reckon that's enough to power a P4?

  8. One thing I'd like fixed on Firefox Reviewed in the Globe and Mail · · Score: 1

    Firefox seems to consume 100% CPU for up to 20 seconds upon attempting to start a download, even for small files. Really annoying when you combine it with the sluggishness of multiple tabs.
