  1. Re:HandBrake? on HandBrake Abandons DivX As an Output Format · · Score: 1

    Do all Mac addicts nowadays touch up little kiddies?

    Fixed that for you. And no, of course we don't.

  2. Re:mail on Using Outlook From Orbit · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    For 2 at least: find ~/music -size -1024k -exec rm {} \; Something like that, anyway.

  3. Re:Just a point of detail but ... on Driver Gets Stuck On Cruise Control · · Score: 1

    Mr Weir eventually stopped the car ... by jumping up and down on the foot brake and pulling the hand brake.

    So why didn't he just do that to begin with?

  4. Re:NO!! on Three Lawmakers Ask For Enforcement Against Leak Sites · · Score: 1

    Oops. I was going for insightful and hit redundant. Posting to undo.

  5. Re:Intrinsic worth on Why Movies Are Not Exactly Like Music · · Score: 1

    If I have a VanGogh in my house worth 2.000.000,00 euro and I refuse to let you come in and take a picture of it or do a copy but you do so anyway, are you breaking the law?

    Yup. Trespass.

  6. Re:DVD Sales Gap on Why Movies Are Not Exactly Like Music · · Score: 1

    When they start selling music online, in lossless format, DRM free....then I'll consider buying content online.

    Magnatune. It's the only way to fly.

  7. Lastpass on Best Tool For Remembering Passwords? · · Score: 1

    Use Lastpass. Works cross-browser, cross-operating-system, the passwords sync automagically between computers, but the encryption's all done client-side.

  8. Re:Anti-Slashdot Effect on GMail Experiences Serious Outage · · Score: 1

    ... Plenty of time (if I were inclined towards mid-life crises) to get divorced and find another girlfriend.

    You're doing it wrong.

  9. Re:Misplaced apostrophe on GMail Experiences Serious Outage · · Score: 1

    Thorn. Try pressing [Compose] [t] [h] (or I believe [Alt]+0222 on Windows).

    I /believe/ this was gradually replaced with the Wynn (which looks a bit similar to the thorn) and eventually with the Y (which looks a bit similar to the Wynn).

  10. Re:Wanted: Scala Expert on Scala, a Statically Typed, Functional, O-O Language · · Score: 1

    *kick*

  11. Re:Cheapest of all? on Buying a Domain From a Cybersquatter · · Score: 1

    What's a hamburger and a pack of smokes going to do with a domain name?

  12. Re: Unclogs? on First Beta of Opera 10 Released · · Score: 1

    Opera Mini's been doing something like this for ages, for free, and I've not experienced any bottleneck issues. I just wonder about what sort of logs this proxy keeps...

  13. Re:I'd make a good one on The Neurological Basis of Con Games · · Score: 1

    I have his arm in me.

  14. Re:No problem on James Bond Gadgets · · Score: 1

    Or mice, ala that movie... what was that movie called? You know, with the magic loom. I always thought the mice-strapped-with-explosives thing was a bit awesome.

  15. Re:In my day, we had to hand format disks on PC Historian Finds Puzzling Game Diskette Image · · Score: 1

  16. Re:OpenOffice.org on Modern LaTeX Replacement? · · Score: 5, Funny

    Will all you Nazis just bugger off? That's right, I'm the Nazi Nazi.

  17. Re:they need to spread fear... on UK Academics Arrested For Researching al-Qaida · · Score: 1

    I thought that was Thor...

    Well then it's a good thing that everyone in the world is ethical... wait, what?

  19. Re:whew, fewer syllables on Toshiba To Halt HD-DVD Production · · Score: 1

    Yes it is.

  20. Re:auto-complete is at fault? on A $1 Billion Email Gaffe · · Score: 1

    Get a phone that has lists or groups... isn't this the 21st century?

  21. Re:Maybe it is not about Sun making money on Can Sun Make MySQL Pay? · · Score: 1

    N (No).

  22. Re:Taking all bets here! on Startup Offers Instant-Boot Windows Alternative · · Score: 1

    Not necessarily. I haven't used Windows at home for years, and I don't turn my machines off.

  23. Re:Now if I can find a bank open on Saturday on Y2K38 Watch Starts Saturday · · Score: 1

    Too bad you always put the decimal point in the wrong place...

  24. Re:Opposites on Mobile Phone Projectors "Will Launch This Year" · · Score: 1

    I suppose that in the context of a not-terribly-bright projector, total darkness would be perfect lighting conditions.

  25. Re:Neat in theorey, imho. on Cryptographically Hiding TCP Ports · · Score: 1

    They've always worked the first time for me... Except for one time when I was trying to read it upside down.
