  1. Re:In other news... on Office 2007 Delayed Again · · Score: 5, Funny

    You are obviously missing a very important detail:

    Open Office 2.0.3
    Office 2007

    Seriously people, thats centuries outdated.

  2. Re:Yes, but... on Software to Make Blue Gene Top 200 Teraflops · · Score: 1

    No. It lacks a 256mb graphics card. Well, it can run it, just not with the Aero UI.

  3. Re:searching is already good, content, "maybe" on Internet Search Company Execs Disagree on Future Search Technology · · Score: 4, Funny

    I easily found the Illinois web sites, but that has done little to move me further in the task at hand. The DOV Illinois sites are confusing, convoluted, obfuscated, and have been little help in understanding exactly all I must do to complete my responsibilities. Thankfully the most important piece of information is included on their site, the dreaded toll free phone number to call. Sigh.
    I'm amazed, I didn't think it was possible to mimic the experience of a real DMV office on a website!

  4. Re:So in other words on Exit Interview with Scoble · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Don't you just love how "startup" is becoming the next "cool" thing to do in the business world. Because if you have a startup that has a MILDLY interesting product, thats become better than years of hard work at a corporation on a resume. This is another example of a rich guy with nothing better to do than expirement.

  5. Re:Big Daddy on Verizon to Launch Mobile 'Chaperone' Service · · Score: 1

    Well if there is one thing that Barney has taught us its that Sharing is Caring and we should always share our locations and phone conversations with the NSA. Jeez you selfish pigs

  6. Re:Don't forget... on Vintage Diseases Making a Comeback · · Score: 1

    Up at Lake Tahoe Nevada/California for as long as I have known there are signs warning against bubonic plague telling people not to play with squirels because of it. As far as I know there are quite a few places with those warnings, it may not be a problem but it sure isn't gone.

  7. Ultra Monkey, Code Monkey on Code Monkey Like Fritos · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Tux is going to be pissed off if some god damn monkey tries to take his fame

  8. Re:When cars are smarter then their owners on When an Algorithm Takes the Wheel · · Score: 1

    When cars are smarter then their owners

    Here in america I get the feeling that without computers such a thing has come to pass.

  9. Re:Paddy's Day on Green Geek Beer · · Score: 1

    I just have one question, do you feel like a nerd yet?

  10. Re:Dear Novell People, on Novell Returns to the SUSE Name · · Score: 1

    Now, due to the name change, my dear Novell Tux is considered worthless and damaged goods.
    I take it you are new to the software business.

  11. I bet he had an easy job.. on Being Enron's SysAdmin · · Score: 5, Funny

    "rm -rf /" on everyone's machines.

  12. Politics on Google Delists BMW-Germany · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    So now searche engine listing has become Politics. No longer is it abouat organizing information, it's whether or not they want you listed. So if Google doesn't like you (alternate situtaion, not this one) they can remove you from what normal people think of as "on the internet"? Seems unfair to me, maybe they could have lowered it's rating, but remove it?

  13. I take it they found... on 3D Microscopy of Fossils Embedded in Solid Rock · · Score: 1

    Prehistoric meatballs.

  14. Re:These Firefox guys are everywhere on Gecko's Feet Power New RAM Chips · · Score: 1

    And then why are they studying sticky hairs on the bottom of Gecko developer's feet anyways?

    Hmm. All has been completed. With this, I no longer need my wife.
    Hmm typo, try this one:
    Hmm. All has been completed. With this, I no longer need to try and buy a wife

  16. Re:Lets look at the real world analogy... on Making Files Available Breaking the Law? · · Score: 1

    No, but the fact that you own Eminems latest album should be a crime in itselff, and giving other people the opportunity to feel the same pain should be punishable by death.

  17. Re:Hope for life on other planets on Scientists Discover World's Smallest Fish · · Score: 1

    Although it's not household cleaner-strength acid

    House hold cleaners are bases. A bar of soap is a base, so household cleaners are probably gonna be a lot more basic.

  18. Well if they *almost* used SPARC on Apple Nearly Moved to SPARC · · Score: 2, Funny

    Isn't that like, "I almost got laid with man"

  19. So they remove IE from Mac on Microsoft to Continue Office on Mac · · Score: 2, Funny

    But they leave Office

    "The Lord Giveth, and the lord taketh away"

  20. Re:Buttons on the outside? on The Year's Best Gadget Ideas · · Score: 1

    Not to mention how the "outside buttons" can often be pressed when pulling the phone out of your pocket, sending it to voicemail. I heard a peer once say to put a "Key Lock" outside then. And so the loop continues.

  21. Re:Time for patent reform? on Google Talk Targeted In Patent Lawsuit · · Score: 1

    But how does this affect the normal space enthusiast who builds one for personal use? That would be like me building a patented toasting technique, but not selling it. Where is the crime?

  22. I have adblock on Cash Pours in for Student with $1 Million Web Idea · · Score: 1

    Why does this page appear blank to me? Where are the ads? How the hell does he make money off this?

    Chairs around the Microsoft office were deeply relieved with the recent settlement between Microsoft and Google.
