  1. Re:I feel peace in the force at last. on New Lucas Headquarters To Open in San Francisco · · Score: 1

    Peace? Well, maybe he should have considered choosing something different from a word which (in italian, but I assume also in spanish) means "garrison". Is he preparing to fight the hordes of raging SW fans? :^)

  2. Obligatory... on IE7 Will Have Tabbed Browsing · · Score: 2, Funny

    'To Start Press Any Key'. Where's the ANY key? I see Esk, Catarl, and Pig-Up. There doesn't seem to be any ANY key. Woo! All this computer hacking is making me thirsty. I think I'll order a TAB.

  3. Re:1 digit on Space Weather Warning · · Score: 1

    They're still called digits, since "digit" comes from the latin word digitus (which means finger). The deca-, deci-, and similar prefixes (or words) relating to the number ten come from the greek word deka (which means ten) :^)

  4. Re:I'm skeptical. on Artificial Retinas Bring Vision Back To The Blind · · Score: 1

    Wow, your sense of humor blinds me :|

  5. I'm skeptical. on Artificial Retinas Bring Vision Back To The Blind · · Score: 1

    I can't see the point in using this stuff.

  6. Re:Giant Cell Phone Tower? on Space Needle To Become WiMax Antenna · · Score: 1

    A popular tv ad broadcasted some years ago here in Italy featured an australian model climbing the space needle and then calling somebody with her mobile. We could ask if the cellphone is still there.

  7. Re:Trademarks on Red Hat Founder Offers Help in Apple vs.Tiger Lawsuit · · Score: 1

    Close enough ;). I actually read this, this and this =^)

  8. Re:Trademarks on Red Hat Founder Offers Help in Apple vs.Tiger Lawsuit · · Score: 1

    Coca plants have no beans.
    They produce a berry-like fruit, whereas beans are the seeds of plants belonging to the Phasoleus (which is the latin for... "bean"!) genre, or in a broader meaning, edible legumes. Coffee, vanilla, and cocoa (or cacao... non cocao) produce other types of seeds, but since we (well... the english-speaking, to the least) refer to them as beans i guess they're ok. *And* the Coca part of Coca-cola is made from the leaves. That's the fact.

    One last thing: I don't put anything up my nose... my mom always told me not to do it :^)

    A.

    (now *THAT* was OT...)

    Wtf? Cocaine now comes in beans? My pusher fooled me for years then! :|

  10. Re:And the winner is... on Cars that Can't Crash? · · Score: 1

    Looking at safety ratings, Ford cars are quite safe: http://www.euroncap.com/content/safety_ratings/int roduction.php

  11. Re:Deep Impact? on Deep Impact Catches First Glimpse of Target Comet · · Score: 1

    from the now-put-the-torpedo-into-ben-affleck's-tube dept. wuold be much better.

  12. Re:pre-emptive lawsuit on Apple Sued over Tiger, Injunction Sought · · Score: 1

    Gimme a break. Just like Apple sued Mac Mall and Club Mac, huh? Yeah. They have to be careful... the boss at McDonalds corp. is just waiting for the right moment. Revenge is a dish best served with barbecue sauce.

  13. Gee... on Longhorn Beta is Disappointing · · Score: 1

    The owner of a "SuperSite for Windows" says that OS X rules and the Longhorn sux. This must mean something... Signed: A long time PC user who's looking at the Apple Store for his next computer.

  14. At last! on First 500 Terabytes Transmitted via LHCGlobal Grid · · Score: 5, Funny

    The perfect solution to connect my beowulf clusters!

  15. Does this mean... on Mac OS X Tiger Accidentally Shipped Early · · Score: 2, Funny

    ...that Longhorn will be out earlier than expected? Cool!

  16. CSS Problems on New IE7 Information Announced · · Score: 3, Informative

    They may have solved the consistency problems, but the standards supports is in great part unimplemented. IE is still far behind its biggest competitors as can be seen easily by doing a quick comparison. The user might not care, but the developer does.

  17. Re:Feature not taken into account on USB Flash Drive Round-up · · Score: 1

    I guess that being a geek I'm supposed to take an usb extension cable with me (and that's ok). But why not just build it so that fits? (rethorical question - no answer expected)

  18. Feature not taken into account on USB Flash Drive Round-up · · Score: 2, Interesting

    It seems like the FA didn't conider the fact that some USB drives simply *don't fit* in some USB ports. I think it's one of the most annoying thing about those little things.

  19. Yeah! on Hard Drive Cooling for 10 Cents · · Score: 5, Funny

    *This* is top-grade engineering! This could be used to cool down spacecraft re-entering earth atmosphere :|
