  1. Deck Chairs on SCO Proposes Sale of Assets To Continue Litigation · · Score: 5, Funny

    Darl has now gone from rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic, to throwing them overboard...

  2. Re:Blame those who can't answer back on Space Observatory May Have Found Dark Matter · · Score: 1

    Yet, upon further examination by the Arecibo radio telescope, an excerpt of audio in a continous loop is being transmitted from the area. It contains the following messsage: "What's the word? Thunderbird!"

  3. Re:Fin? on How Do You Fix Education? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Erm, Nokia ring a bell? (pun intended)

  4. Re:What the hell... on Cablecos, Telcos Working To Strengthen the Duopoly · · Score: 1

    Erm, no - more like editors at Broadbandreports.com have been using it for years

  5. Re:This is going nowhere. on Westinghouse Commits to Green Plug's Universal A.C. Adapter · · Score: 2, Informative

    If you are near one - http://www.batteriesplus.com/ recycles ALL battery chemistries for free. And I mean, you can recycle a couple boxes. A pallet - well, that will have usually a $50 - $75 surcharge for driving a truck out to pick them up.

  6. Re:You do not deserve fiber! on Verizon, Fiber Or Die? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    DSL has a law forcing them to unbundle it from phone service. That law does not cover Fios. You CAN buy FiOS internet service a la carte. I have done so, and use a 3rd party VoIP provider to boot since last June.
  7. Re:You do not deserve fiber! on Verizon, Fiber Or Die? · · Score: 1

    That would be no big deal if they allowed you to use your own router, but they don't. Bullshit, I've been using a Pfsense box with Fios I made a year ago with no problems, and no calls to support to use it. DHCP or PPPoE would both work with aftermarket routers. I will concur though that it does blow the crap out of the stock Actiontec.
  8. Re:Sounds of Sputnik on 50 Years Ago, Sputnik Was an Improvised Triumph · · Score: 1

    Wow, I almost died of laughter. This is why I read slashdot : to read about Sputnik, then get comments like these :-)

  9. Re:Here's what Bavaria's minister-president exclai on Germany To Build New Maglev Railway · · Score: 1

    Wow, I had to really tilt my head far to the side while listening to that. Listened to it multiple times for a grand total of... ten minutes!

    Hmm, oddity as well to note that the captcha for this post is Drunken...

  10. Re:Three things. on How Would You Refocus Linux Development? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    If I could refocus Linux Development... I would try to pool all the development into 1 distro to reduce duplication of so much effort.

  11. Re:It's all a conspiracy.... on Broadcasters Want Cash For Media Shared At Home · · Score: 1

    Holy Shit. That is ALMOST as good an explanation as any for this nonsense... my goodness, I like their plan!!!

  12. Re:CallVantage is from Lucifer Himself on Internet Phone Start-up Goes Belly-Up · · Score: 1

    Strange, I'm on VZ FiOS and Callvantage is the BEST VoIP I've used. I'm using it right now. And I have used before Sunrocket, and Lingo. It really does now sound better than POTS. I'm south of Pittsburgh, PA, and I conenct to their NYC servers via 4-5 hops I believe. So where are you located, and where are you connecting to? And as an AC suggested, ask for a more modern modem. I have a very new D-Link with the Callvantage, and it works swimmingly behind the router, no fiddling.

  13. Re:Reminds me of a pilot... on Whirling Twirling Propeller Trike · · Score: 2, Funny

    Only old Koreans would lean to turn a C172. It's all the rage now to do it in an Antonov, n00bs maybe can get away with a Starlifter

  14. Re:Apple ends up looking bad (er, less than great) on AT&T Vs. Apple Store At the iPhone Launch · · Score: 1

    And which phone in Venezuela has all these features? This is not mocking; I am genuinely curious.

  15. Re:Asynchronous Transfer Mode? on ATM Turns 40 · · Score: 1

    And next you were going to say it has a "fortune you have" to account for, or a fortune "you have to account for" . Sheesh, my head hurts.

  16. Re:No Way Is This Going To Be Successful on Stanford Gets First Sun Blackbox · · Score: -1, Troll

    Go fetch it smackenzie, you good little Apple foamer you. Steve needs a new Turtleneck!!!

  19. Re:Posted notice? on Archive.org Sued By Colorado Woman · · Score: 1

    Wow, you really think that something checking on something that you put in a PUBLIC infrastructure is the same as something in your PRIVATE residence? This is not quite the same case. And don't argue about the fact that roads are public infrastructure, and go to your residence, I know that. But something was put on the web to SHARE information with anyone who wanted to view it. Caveat emptor if she was worried enough about this happening that she didn't make it into, say, an email mailing list that wouldn't get indexed.

    Yea, and this Iran stuff just isn't helping me either...

  21. Perhaps... on Who won? · · Score: 1

    At least in my area, I am aware that every single polling area is full of people who have been running it for 40 years on average. They really have stopped caring about issues of the future, and more about more discounts for them now before they die, because hey, they'll be dead when issue "blah" becomes relevent!

    To increase accuracy and quality, I bet using citizens of US military draft age (18-21 primarily) would help, because they will give more of a damn about future issues.

  22. Re:anything special? on Laser Turns All Metals Black · · Score: 1

    Michael Richards? Are you there?

    Awesome. Thanks for the link.

  24. Re:OMG ! SWITCH TO LINUX! on Transitioning From Small Shop IT To Enterprise? · · Score: 1

    While definitely sarcastic, isn't it incredibly displeasing that this IS a part of what you think when you hear "Enterprise" Linux migrations?

    I cracked up on that, felt as random as Monty Python, thank you EmbeddedJanitor for that.
