  1. Re:One wipe is not enough. on Single Drive Wipe Protects Data · · Score: 1

    Actually, they do. At least the newer or remodeled ones. Older ones might not have it yet, but it's becoming more prevalent.

  2. Re:Gorilla Arm Syndrome on Computer Mouse Heading For Extinction · · Score: 1

    Even graphic tablets can cause G.A.S.

    Beano tablets can take care of that.

  3. Re:Of Course Ulysses's Dead! on Ulysses Spacecraft Not Dead Yet · · Score: 1

    Ulysses S. Grant died at 8:06 a.m. on Thursday, July 23, 1885, at the age of 63 in Mount McGregor, Saratoga County, New York. His last word was a request, "Hydrazine."

    Yeah, he may be dead, but who's buried in Grant's tomb?

  4. Re:Why is this news? Because it's Microsoft. on MSN Music DRM Servers Going Dark In September · · Score: 1

    So you have to spend $25 to get a new key cut by the dealership.

    Only $25? Whew! To get a new key for our PT Cruiser it's like 10x that much.

    That of course is one thing I can't stand about newer cars. I miss being able to get a car key duped for $1 at Walmart instead of $100+ or $200+ at the dealership

    DRM for cars, I'd never thought about it that way.

  10. Think $$ on Scientist Develops Caffeinated Baked Goods · · Score: 1

    Of course, ThinkGeek has probably already placed their order....

  11. Re:Stupid post on NASA Avoids "Happy New Year" On Shuttle · · Score: 1

    Well, programming language aside, it's not a stupid post. Your main point is still sound: it's planned obsolescence, or "they don't make 'em like they used to!"

  12. Re:So.... on Apollo 11 TV Tapes Go Missing · · Score: 1

    We don't even need to build the set. Just build a green room and let George Lucas do the rest!

  13. HP is so vain...... on Forbes Now Thinks Carly Saved HP · · Score: 4, Funny

  14. I love Pico on 13 Pico-Satellites to Launch June 28th · · Score: 5, Funny

    Pico-satellites are way better than Vi-satellites or Emacs-satellites.

    Reborushion.

  17. Re:Where Dvorak's ideas come from on Dvorak Avocates Open Sourcing OS X · · Score: 1

    Anyone else get the feeling that Dvorak's articles are written by manatee's in a large tank filled with idea balls...?

    Apple + Open source + War

    "Oh, the makings of another great Dvorak article, I can see it now..."

    What's this? The sequel to Minority Report?

  18. 2.0 on Space Race 2.0 has Begun · · Score: 1

    It's always 2.0 now.... it was cute the first 0x088 times, but now.... it's just -1, Redundant. How about

  19. Why he didn't get it taken care of. on King Tut Killed by a Knee Infection? · · Score: 1

    He probably kept saying, "It's only a flesh wound!"

  20. Re:offtopic, but you know what I'd like? on PUBPAT Makes Progress Against JPEG Patent · · Score: 1

    I guess a story about a guy who builds his own gadget based on a sci-fi fantasy movie and gets into a patent war with a corporation, and takes the case to the Supreme Court wouldn't suffice, would it?
