  1. Back from the dead on Firefox Struggling to Compete as Corporate Browser · · Score: 1

    while giving 9% to Netscape I wanna work for those companies! Since they obviously do their web browsing through a wormhole which comes out roughly ten years ago, I can use my knowledge of the future to make a mint.
  2. Re:still waiting... on Rock Band Drum Kit Modded · · Score: 2

    I'd just like to get my spreadsheets done with one.

  3. Re:Now give us 10 best keyboards of all time.... on The 10 Worst PC Keyboards of All Time · · Score: 1

    1. IBM Model M 2. GOTO 1.

  4. Re:can somebody please explain on SecondLife Bans Unregistered In-World Banks · · Score: 1

    It's a platform. Like any other platform, assholes will make asshole things with it, but on the other hands artists will make art with it, and pragmatists will make useful things with it.

    Bitching about SL in general because of financial scams within it is like trashing the entire Web over the very first web-phishing schemes.

  5. Re:So... on Plastic Fiber Could Make Optical Networking a DIY Project · · Score: 1

    It would appear to be easier and cheaper to make and work with once they get a streamlined process together.

  6. RTF Vs. OOXML on RTF Vs. OOXML · · Score: 4, Funny

    I think I could beat OOXML, if I took a few weeks to train up with some old kung fu movies beforehand.

    -- RTF

  7. Re:Recursive dreams? on Dreams Actually Virtual Reality Threat Simulation? · · Score: 0, Redundant

    What's a recursive dream meant to prepare you for? The next level of recursion or that I am living in the matrix? I answered that in my response to this post.
  8. Re:Murder Simulator? on Dreams Actually Virtual Reality Threat Simulation? · · Score: 1

    Are you quite sure you're not just a homicidal sleepwalker?

  9. obAhnold on Mars Asteroid Impact More Likely Than Before · · Score: 1

    Get your asteroid to Mars!

  10. Re:Stop allowing humans on flights on TSA Limits Lithium Batteries on Airplanes · · Score: 1

    It'd be an easy enough conclusion to leap to, given the length and breadth of the average TSA employee's experience with actual humans.

    I wouldn't be surprised if a major TSA advisor dreams this one up on his own tonight, while snuggled up safe and sound with his cold, unfeeling wireframe mother.

  11. Re:Proton packs on Hospitals Look to a Nuclear Tool to Fight Cancer · · Score: 1

    Yes, have some.

  12. Re:Proton packs on Hospitals Look to a Nuclear Tool to Fight Cancer · · Score: 1

    Do you want some coffee?

  13. Proton packs on Hospitals Look to a Nuclear Tool to Fight Cancer · · Score: 5, Funny

    As another unrelated side benefit, you can strap it to your back and use it to catch ghosts.

  14. Re:Ding dong on SCO Receives Nasdaq's Delisting Notice · · Score: 1

    Ding dong.
    Ding dong, yo.
    Ding dong.

  15. Future target of sweet, sweet hax on FBI to Put Criminals Up in Lights · · Score: 3, Funny

    I can hardly wait for these to be subverted into showing Future Conan or old "Get Smart" episodes or something.

  16. Re:Old and Pointless News on Quoted in Google News? Post a Comment · · Score: 1

    Why? Because 75% of the time, when I'm interviewed for an article, I'm misquoted. Can we quote you as saying you were misqouted?
  17. Re:Not only that.. on Quoted in Google News? Post a Comment · · Score: 1

    It's down there somewhere, let me take another look.

  18. Not only that.. on Quoted in Google News? Post a Comment · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Even if they do somehow verify your name, how do they know you're the right person with that name? I can't wait for someone called John Smith to make the news.

  19. Not all that batty on Batcave Home Theater · · Score: 3, Insightful

    While it certainly looks like a cave, I can't really see anything bat-like about it. Not Bat-computers or Bat-insignia or anything. Still interesting though, in an armchair geologist or spray-foam aficionado sort of way.

    Besides, there's no big penny! A Batcave without a big penny is no Batcave at all.

  20. Happy Decemberween! on Plexiglass-like DVD to Hold 1TB of Data · · Score: 1

    Hopefully this will be the blank media that The Dethemberween Thnikkaman puts in my slippers this year.

  21. Hey now! on Diebold Election Results Released By AZ Judge · · Score: 3, Funny

    In closing arguments of the four-day trial that began Dec. 4, Pima County argued the databases meet the definition of a computer program In that case, all the filing cabinets in my office meet the definition of filing clerks, and should all be drawing salaries. Just write those checks out in my name, boss, I'll take care of the details...
  22. Re:Good news on FTC Approves Google-DoubleClick Deal · · Score: 1

    Marketing has basically been the focus of Google's business model Google has had from the start.

    I'm just worried because Doubleclick has been blocked in my hosts file for so long that birds have nested in the pits it leaves on my RAM. Now that Google's involved, Doubleclick might actually get an ad through to me somehow.

  23. /me looks shifty on Supernova Detonates In Empty Space · · Score: 2, Funny

    I didn't do it!

  24. Re:Monkey off his back? on Think Secret Shutting Down · · Score: 3, Funny

    I wonder if he's "pleased" in the sense that he has a "big fat Apple check" to "deposit."

  25. Re:Why do the rest even bother? on Official 700MHz Bidder List · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Ego trips, publicity stunts, and a desire to get one's name in the history books with the big boys. Big Roy's Internet Service and Gerbil Grooming may not have an honest chance at actually winning an auction, but it'll get him into the Google rankings alongside the likes of AT&T for a bit.
