  1. Other Industries Prosper on the Internet on Speculation On a Second Internet Economy Collapse · · Score: 4, Funny

    "The first internet bubble popped largely because all business models failed except for ad selling." (from the article).

    I disagree. Pornography and Gambling as well as on-line RX have proven to be profitable over time. Perhaps the monetary profit margin is inversely related to the moral and cultural benefit to society.

  2. Lawyers trying to make a buck on Workplace BlackBerry Use May Spur Lawsuits · · Score: 4, Insightful

    From the article, "Although experts said that they are not aware of any current lawsuits, they said it's inevitable."

    The lawyers are stirring the pot. Nothing else to see, move along. These are not the lawsuits you are looking for.

  3. Animated Ads on Adobe Makes Flash Crawlable · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Animated Ads always make my flash crawl!

  4. Yes, but more importantly... on How to Turn a PlayStation 3 Into a Linux PC · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    ...can I turn my Linux PC into a PS3?

  5. Year of the Linux of Desktop on Linux Desktop to Appear On Every Asus Motherboard · · Score: 4, Funny

    Maybe Duke Nukem Forever will also be included.

  6. And then.... on Peter Gabriel's Web Server Stolen · · Score: 1

    There were three...

  7. What about the EULA? on Researchers Infiltrate and 'Pollute' Storm Botnet · · Score: 1

    Doesn't this violate the EULA and copyright protection of the Botnet software? How do you know I don't want to be part of a Botnet? Who are you to tell me I can't participate in large scale attacks on other networks or send out massive amounts of email that has not been requested?!?!

    Now please, let me decide what software I want to unwittingly run on my computer!

  8. Re:How much for only half an Internet? on ISP Dispute Causing Connectivity Issues for Customers · · Score: 1

    I would personally pay more for bigger, more reliable tubes to the internets. I'm not worried thought, I have a closet full of AOL disks that have the internet on them, no need to connect.

  9. Real Men Don't Use DNS on Number of Rogue DNS Servers on the Rise · · Score: 1

    They use IP Addresses. If you want more manliness (mod up +1 machismo) use MAC addresses.

  10. Fat Lady... on 10K Filing Suggests Grim Outlook for SCO · · Score: 1

    ...Please sing! When will it end?

  11. Re:Unbelievable on Some DNS Requests Ruled Illegal in North Dakota · · Score: 1

    Do they have ISPs in North Dakota? I thought they were still on PonyExpress 1.0.

  12. Perhaps they could take cues from Lynx on UI Designers Hired by Mozilla · · Score: 1

    Certainly its not a busy, cluttered or difficult to navigate UI. There is no need to waste time on "shiny buttons". Lynx is the way to go. Even better, a browser based on VI navigation - now you have my attention!

  13. I Hereby Patent... on Google, Yahoo, Others Sued Over Solitaire Patent · · Score: 0, Redundant

    ...Lawsuits for patent infringement.

  14. Lynx on 'Extreme Security' Web Browsing · · Score: 1

    Lynx - The only way to browse!

  15. Lynx on Opera Files EU Complaint Against Microsoft · · Score: 1

    Why can't they bundle the Lynx browser? They are afraid of Lynx becoming the de facto browser for thousands of graphically challenged computers that's why!

  16. Vista Compatible? on Hacking VIM · · Score: -1, Troll

    Is there a VI for Vista? Does it use a gig of memory for the color interface? Is it asci 3d? Does it ask you, "esc, : wq - are you really sure you want to write and quit?"

  17. Re:speed of sound on Voyager 2 Set to Reach Termination Shock · · Score: 1

    Just a reminder: In space, no one can hear you scream.

  18. Try answering in another language on FTC Announces Crackdown on Do Not Call Violators · · Score: 2, Funny

    Answering in another language or gibberish is fun. Speak Java or C++ to them. Klingon is good.

  19. Re:Good for King Crimson. on EMI Caught Offering Illegal Downloads · · Score: 4, Funny

    and KFC owns the rights to their 11 herbs and spices secret formula.

  20. No Cash? on Apple Makes $831 On Each AT&T iPhone · · Score: 1

    I thought cash was always legal tender and could not be removed as an option for payment? If you offer cash and they refuse and you walk out with the I-Phone, it's their problem - they did not accept the currency offered. Of course INAL, so if you try this you are on your own. Call a bail bondsman beforehand.

  21. Digging that deep on Data Centers in Strange Places · · Score: 1

    Makes me worry about balrogs. Khazad-dûm had that problem you know and dwarves are known for their data centers.

  22. Could this be... on Linux Crashes the Mobile Party · · Score: 4, Funny

    The year of Linux on the deskt...Cell Phone?

  23. Enron on Internet Bandwidth to Become a Global Currency? · · Score: 1

    Isn't this what Enron attempted to do (to some extent)? Didn't they run an arbitrage exchange over dark fibre and potential bandwidth? If I remember correctly, Enron did not end up as a model of corporate ethics, innovation (except accounting practices) or good sense.

  24. Download Source on Chinese Pirates Copy iPhone, Make Improvements · · Score: 1

    If they have used GPL software, where can I download it? Should it not be available from this company?

  25. Obligatory on Enigma Machine for Sale on eBay · · Score: -1, Redundant

    Can it run Linux?
