  1. Comb the desert! on NASA's Mars Polar Lander Found at Last? · · Score: 3, Funny

    Somehow when they said they couldn't find it, I was reminded of the desert scene from Spaceballs. I guess they finally switched to a better comb...

  2. Rejoice!!! on 64-Bit Windows Releases Now Available · · Score: 1

    For now your blue screens will be rendered in 64-bit!

  3. Re:Good! on TrekUnited Campaign Ends · · Score: 3, Funny

    Star Trek is like a burnt out rocker, it's been on the road for years, it's out of creative juice, it's just going through the motions. I say, let Trek rest up a few years, you know, like get some new material and come back stronger than ever!

    Metallica did that and we were "rewarded" with St. Anger. Bleh... =P

  4. Re:Good riddance smoking on We're Open enough, Says Microsoft · · Score: 3, Funny

    Bullshit. A pub is private property that allows the public to enter.
    Microsoft = pub

    If a pub owner would like to allow smoking, the customers have the choice to enter or not.
    Smoking = access to document standards.

    If a pub owner would like to allow smoking, the customers have the choice to enter or not.
    I get it now... so all this fight for open standards is actually a cleverly disguised campaign to remove smoking bans! It all makes sense now!!!

  5. Re:Mail troubles not worth it... on Verizon's DSL Gets Naked · · Score: 1

    Several months ago I got Verizon DSL during a hardware promo period, and had it installed for about 4 hours. I very quickly discovered that I couldn't use their outgoing mail servers unless my "From:" contained username@verizon.net (or some other verizon domain variant). Nope, it flat-out rejected it. Well, wtf??? As if nobody ever wants to send email "From" their other email addresses for work, personal domains, etc? So I uninstalled the equipment and returned it for a refund. Back to cable for me.

    I see no point in using Verizon unless they lift these draconian restrictions on SMTP servers.

    Errr... that's not how their SMTP servers work. I send mail all the time through their servers with my other mail accounts.

    As long as you instruct your email client to authenticate with your verizon online username and password, you can send email fine using verizon's SMTP servers.

  6. I dunno... on Computer Program Makes Essay Grading Easier · · Score: 1

    I dunno if they want my essay to be graded by this program. It might crash from too many syntax errors.
