  1. Gouge out my eyes on Griefers Assault Epileptics Via Message Board · · Score: 1

    Makes you want a Trans-orbital Leucotomy...

    Who is this? ^click^

  2. Hardware on Meet the Laptop of 2015 · · Score: 1

    So long as we're tied to the hardware in this manner - we will continue with a:

    1) display of some sort
    2) input of some sort

    You can throw it into a million fabulous configurations and it will always be the same - just something to lug around.

    When we start using wetware, that's when the real innovation will take place.

  3. Geeksquad Repairman on University of Penn. Recommends Against Vista SP1 · · Score: 1

    Perhaps this guy has some vested interest in suggesting not to upgrade.

    Service packs (while should be installed with caution) usually fix things. Oh and this one does.. not great but vista is better.


    If you're using vista - update it. Duh.

  4. Missle Defense on Google Patents Detecting, Tracking, Targeting Kids · · Score: 1

    Did anyone else read the headline like Google is wireless tracking kids and targeting them with a big bullseye?

    We are all not as smart as all of us.

  5. Cutting you off on A Robotic Taxi Named robuCAB · · Score: 1

    Great... now who's going to program them to cut you off?

  6. It;'s really about passion on How Do You Find Programming Superstars? · · Score: 1

    For superstars...
    Look for those who are in a different field completely and yet are able to answer
    those tough interview questions.

    Passion drives those ones.

  7. Nutcrack on Tetris Creator Claims FOSS Destroys the Market · · Score: 1

    What a nutcracker.

    Ironic that this Russian is advocating this evil capitalistic practice.
    Can't we all just...get along?

  8. Looking ahead on Scientists Find Solar System Like Ours · · Score: 1

    This is our future and just a mirror of it.

  9. Re:Earth First, People on Titan's Organics Surpass Oil Reserves on Earth · · Score: 1

    Like Venus? Hmm .. that ark story sounds... convenient.

  10. Receipt on Should Apple Give Back Replaced Disks? · · Score: 1

    We we see a copy of the Apple agreement but what did this guy
    actually pay for?

    Let's see the receipt.
    Did he pay for warranty replacement?
    Or did he pay for immediate service?

    If you replace anything under warranty then usually labour and parts are free.

    If his system is out of warranty then the $160 fee seems nominal - it is
    Apple after all.

  11. Re:Muppets? on Head Tracking w/ the Wiimote · · Score: 1

    His girlfriend is Kermit the Frog.

    Everybody knows that, it's a well known fact.

  12. Obviously, on Chuck Norris Sues Publisher, Tears Don't Cure Cancer · · Score: 1

    He's going for the death penalty.

  13. HOAX on Student Given Detention For Using Firefox [UPDATED] · · Score: 1

    I don't believe it.

  14. Snakes on planes on Electricity Over Glass · · Score: 1

    This is exactly like Snakes on a Plane.

    Well... except the snakes are replaces with fiberoptics and the poison is
    replaced with lasers and they're not really in the passenger area.....

    Snakes with frikkin lasers in the fuselage.

    But other than that... well, it's really nothing alike.

  15. Tinfoil hat time on Juror From RIAA Trial Speaks · · Score: 1

    From all the mistakes this woman has made:

    Didn't settle out of court
    Didn't tell the truth, or lie convincingly
    Didn't hire the right attorney or provide the right defence

    Doesn't anyone else here feel they've set us up the bomb?

    With recent court failures, they've been looking to strike fear back into people. Was she working with/for them?

  16. Considering on MIT Student Arrested For Wearing 'Tech Art' Shirt At Airport · · Score: 1

    2 Cents to join the crowd

    Considering a simple bomb could be made with a power source, switch, detonator and explosive (simple, no? there is simpler...) the breadboard on her chest could be ..something... {waving hands into thin air}

    Oh yes, maybe the cops knew it wasn't a threat but also knew she should be stopped cold for her own sake and sake of others. Wow.

    Hell, who knows, maybe she was testing the waters?

    If someone walked into a crowded room wearing something like this, would anyone be surprised if they threw open their coats and yelled 'NOW YOU ALL DIE!!!'.

    It would be *my* final oops, not theirs.

  17. Excellent!! Finally some angst on Trent Reznor Says "Steal My Music" · · Score: 1

    I've found the nin softening more recently,
    maybe this will add fuel to the fire of TR.

    Burn them baby, burn 'em all!!!

  18. Reincarnate where... on China Says Tibetans Need Permission To Reincarnate · · Score: 1

    I think he should reincarnate wherever he's needed most.

  19. Even the Fire Department though it was dumb on Dell Laptops Still Exploding · · Score: 1

    "Way too much manpower for one little laptop," he said, but "I guess it sounded like it was more then it really was" to the 911 dispatcher.

    Was the guy making more out of this than he claims? The fire department thinks so.
  20. Ubuntu Live CD on Pirate Banned From Using Linux · · Score: 1

    Luckily for him Ubuntu is a LiveCD Distro. He can leave it in the drive and if anyone asks, he can say he was installing Firefox. Problem solved.

  21. Well, on Failing Our Geniuses · · Score: 1

    Duh!!

  22. Re:Canada? on Ubuntu Dell Now In UK, France, and Germany · · Score: 1

    Quebec French language restrictions are probably to blame for this.

    For example: France has 'Stop' signs whereas Quebec has 'Arretez'...

    It should also be noted that Parisian french and Canadian french are bastard cousins of each other.

  23. Re:Ubuntu drive partition on Tales of Conversion - Using Ubuntu at Work · · Score: 1

    Many noobs have had the same idea, they are no longer noobs as they know how to read. Seriously though, the partition software is feature rich, powerful and simple. Can you please give us an example of drive partitioning software that you like and understand, because most will allow you to partition for linux. Ranish, fdisk, partition magic?? --- Bill, is that you?

  24. Both on Mouse or Trackball? · · Score: 1

    Having more than 1 computer, as I'm sure you all do.....

    We have a good mixture currently used in my house.

    1 wireless optical trackball
    1 wired m$ trackball
    1 wired optical logitech trackball
    1 logitech Optical gaming mouse
    1 laptop wireless optical mouse
    1 ps2 'rolo' mouse

    We used to have a 6 inch serial trackball but alas,
    my young'uns beat the shit out of it.
