  2. Patent on True Random Number Generator Goes Online · · Score: 1

    I patent it. All random numbers are mine, unless you pay me a random fee. And who is to say that all software which are 1s and 0s, are not really ripping me off by stealing my random numbers! How about mp3s - also just a bunch of numbers - there mine too! However you look at it - PAY ME! Thank you for your support.

  3. Does it come... on Bionic Hand Makes it to Market · · Score: 1

    ...in i-fruit colors?

  4. Obligatory on Bionic Hand Makes it to Market · · Score: 4, Funny

  7. They are running tubes on Will Linux Win the Next Presidential Election? · · Score: 1

    They are running tubes on the internets Al Gore invented. Duh!

  8. Re:so let me get this straight... on Will Linux Win the Next Presidential Election? · · Score: 1

    He probably asked his neighbor's 14 year old nephew to design his website. Or maybe he outsourced it.

  9. What would Cthulhu use? on Will Linux Win the Next Presidential Election? · · Score: 1

    If Cthulhu were running what OS would he prefer?

    Sorry, I had to ask.

  11. What About Independents, Libertarians, socialists on Will Linux Win the Next Presidential Election? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    What do they use? We have more than two parties you know.

  12. Re:Yawn on OpenSuSE to Release Linux Distro for Educators · · Score: 1

    I recently deployed a small school lab with Edubuntu (with LTSP) and it was easy! OpenSuSE had better do their homework since the bar has been set high.

  13. "Lasers" on Giant Penguins Once Roamed Peru · · Score: 0, Redundant

    All I want is a giant penguin with a laser beam on its head. Do they live near rivers of liquid hot magma?

    But does it emulate Linux?

  15. Revenge: on Industry Insider Blasts Comcast · · Score: 1

    Rabbit Ears! That's what I use. Picks up approximately 10 stations. That's more than I can handle. If I want more, I go to the library and borrow it. Cable offers little for quite a lot.

  17. Deviant Thinker on Sci-fi Writers Join War on Terror · · Score: 1

    You insensitive clod, /. is comprised of deviant thinkers.

  18. Open Source on Microsoft's Multitouch Coffee Table Display · · Score: 1

    How long before there is an open source project like this? Or is there already one? I must admit, I think it is pretty "nifty".

  19. Poor Novell on Novell Worries About GPL v3 · · Score: 1

    I personally like SuSE, OpenExchange (Not covered by the MS agreement) and Novell's open source products. It is disappointing to see them needlessly jeopardize a great open source business model by continuing with this MS agreement farce. I would hate to see Novell tank because of this, but isn't inevitable when playing both sides of fence?

  20. Death Knell on New Zealand Rejects Office For Macs · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Unfortunately the Ministry of Education has probably signed a death warrant for the adoption of an open source office package. Without planning, forethought, notice and buy-in, most projects will die on the branch. This is a poor introduction for many to open source software and will leave a sour taste.

  21. Cthulhu on Best Presidential Candidate for Nerds? · · Score: 5, Funny

    Cthulhu. "Why vote for a lesser evil?"

  22. Waste of Money on Microsoft, Sue Me First · · Score: 1

  24. Getting Back At Disney on The Unauthorized State-Owned Chinese Disneyland · · Score: 1

    For the unauthorized "China" in Epcot. Did Disney license that from the Chinese, I think not!

    Back in West Virginia we'all used to go spam catchin' every weekend while they was in season! Them spam made good eatin'.
