  1. http://www.dell.com/vista/ on Why Won't Dell Promote Its Linux Desktops? · · Score: 1

    try http://www.dell.com/vista/ and you get a page titled 'Microsoft Clarity. Dell's Vision.'

  2. Fuzzy math on Let Joe Average Help You Code · · Score: 1

    The line between hardcore developers and the average Joe will start to get very fuzzy.

    But if your job or your life depended on it, I think the logical choice would be to go with a hardcore developer.

  3. Dual-layer DVD price drop anyone? on Sony Announces Date for Blu-Ray Roll Out · · Score: 1

    Reuters is reporting that 'Sony Pictures on Tuesday said it aims to deliver its new Blu-ray DVD format to U.S. stores on May 23 to coincide with the entry of compatible disc players

    So does this mean that 8.5GB Dual Layer DVDs will finally be coming down in price on May 23rd as well?

  4. Hit the store an hour ago on Apple Announces Wonderful Toys · · Score: 1

    Other new products are an iPod Leather Case and three new media-center-style Intel Mac minis which will hit the Apple Store within the hour.

    Sorry, we're all sold out...you'll have to come back in about a month when the new shipment arrives.
    In the meantime, can I interest you in a new PowerMac G5 Quad with an NVIDIA Quadro FX 4500?

  5. Where did Bill go? on Utah Votes 'No' to Darwin's Critics · · Score: 1

    But the bill died on a 46-to-28 vote in the Republican-controlled House after being amended by the majority whip, Stephen H. Urquhart, a Mormon

    Now we must ask ourselves:

    1) Did the Bill go to Heaven, Hell or Purgatory?
    2) Did the Bill become reincarnated as a better Bill?
    3) Did the Bill do nothing, and now remains just a memory for its beloved?

  6. Re:Somewhere.... out there... on New York Times sues DoD over Domestic Spying · · Score: 1

    Somewhere out there, Journalists are looking into their pants, and finding they have testicles. -paraphased from Penny-Arcade.

    If my pants had testicles, I would immediately make them cut-offs.

  7. car spam on College Student Receives Email of the Lost · · Score: 4, Funny

    In the world of software design, "Null" is commonly used to represent "no value" or "0." Developers of mobile services use the "Null" address during testing routines, assuming that the messages won't be sent to anyone.

    I wonder if he even thought about this before he got that address.
    Now the question is - can he sue for textual harassment?

  8. Re:Do most people in Jordan own a PC with an ISP? on Ask About Life, Blogging and Linux in the Middle East · · Score: 1

    Thanks for the info, I just wondered what this particular person's experience is with his area/country.

  9. Another reason NOT to use AOL on Spam King Busted by Secret Service · · Score: 1

    In spam kings stories like these, AOL always seems to come up as the spammers favourite target.
    AOL really needs to get serious about their spam problem.

  10. Do most people in Jordan own a PC with an ISP? on Ask About Life, Blogging and Linux in the Middle East · · Score: 1

    If they do, do they mostly use dial-up, DSL or cable modems for their internet access?

  11. If the golf ball punctures the side of the ISS.... on Golf in Space · · Score: 1

    ...does he get a hole in one?

  12. Just for fun I tried http://www.dell.com/linux/ on Why Won't Dell Promote Its Linux Desktops? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Just for fun and to see if it existed, I tried http://www.dell.com/linux/ and it brought up a page full of information about Dell Linux products and information.

    But it is interesting to note that on the http://www.dell.com/ page, there is nothing about Linux.
    Maybe Dell could add a link to Linux on their root page? Just a thought.

  13. Re:Attention parents on MySpace Fears, Just Another Backlash? · · Score: 1

    Because you did the same thing when you were their age.

    I totally agree, the Hippie Generation is now the Hypocrite Generation
    If you are really worried about your teenage daughter dating men from MySpace, just talk to them about it. Show that you love and care for them, then maybe they won't go do stupid things or at least will have some discretion in their dating.

  14. Book lacking space? Just add paper on Patterns in Game Design · · Score: 2, Funny

    At the end of many subcategories are references to "Additional Patterns," which are only explored on the CD-ROM that accompanies the book, apparently having been left out for lack of space.

    And all this time I thought it was CD media that would leave things out due to 'lack of space.'
    But this will all be explained in the sequel "Patterns II: The Missing Pages"

  15. Put a one character text file on them and then.... on Canada's CD Tax Out of Hand? · · Score: 1

    ...resell them as 'almost new'

  16. Die-bolder on Diebold Whistle-Blower Charged With Felony Access · · Score: 1

    Man that guy was bold for trying to show that Diebold was acting fraudulently.
    Send him directly to jail, that'll show him! Problem solved!

  17. Re:Next Project: A Ballmer-Proof Chair on Indestructible Super Mug To Save Humanity · · Score: 1

    Dick Cheney is probably going to shoot you if you keep using that "chair throwing" joke.

    I wish he would shoot me, then I could come back and apologize to him and his family for all the problems I had caused.

  18. Next Project: A Ballmer-Proof Chair on Indestructible Super Mug To Save Humanity · · Score: 1, Funny

    The NewMexTech students are purportedly working on a new indestructable chair.
    It will have the ability to absorb impacts from dropping, kicking or throwing due to sudden fits of rage and violent outbursts of anger.

  19. When Apples get worms... on Computer 'Worms' Turn on Macs · · Score: 1

    ...use RAID

  20. Is this really a top priority right now? on Justice Dept. Rejects Google's Privacy Concerns · · Score: 1

    With all the other problems in the world, I am at a loss as to why this is a top concern for this Administration?

    How about addressing problems related to global warming, poverty, war, and pollution - first and foremost?

  21. But what about the children? on Lapinator and Lapinator Plus, a Closer Look · · Score: 1

    with the evolution of power (which creates heat) infused into them

    And all this time people were wondering why they could never procreate.

  22. MissedJoe on HP Developing Hybrid Tablet PC / Coffee Table · · Score: 1

    Great! Now when you spill your coffee all over your fancy new Tablet PC, you can blame it all on the HP design team.

    I think Kramer is going to sue for copyright infringement.

  23. Update: Due to Server error, Unix is still on top on Windows Bumps Unix as Top Server OS · · Score: 1

    Computer makers sold $17.7 billion worth of Windows servers worldwide in 2005 compared with $17.5 billion in Unix servers,

    Update: It was later found that the forementioned sales figures were inaccurate. The true numbers were skewed and mistakenly put Microsoft on top. The true numbers reflect the fact that Unix servers continued their reign as top seller and Microsoft was still behind.

    No further information was available, but insiders say the mistake was caused by a Windows Server 'error.'

  24. When is a crackdown - a crackdown? on Chinese Journalists Beat Censorship With Web · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The party's propaganda department had targeted Freezing Point in its media crackdown because it often published investigative reports that embarrassed officials, as well as essays on history, society and current events that challenged the party line.

    It surprises me that they didn't just call the cops to come in there, arrest everyone and shut the whole thing down.

    Or just lock the doors to the place and tell everyone to stay home and do some censored blogging.

  25. Take the CEO to the Woodshed... on RadioShack CEO Resigns · · Score: 1

    ...err make that the WoodShack!
