  1. Re:Or the more serious topic. on Human-Animal Hybrids Fail · · Score: 0

    Mmmmm...breaded humans.

  2. Re:Why should we care? on Canonical Close To $30M Critical Mass; Should Microsoft Worry? · · Score: 0

    Vendor support! If Linux on the desktop gets enough attention then vendors will accept having to write good drivers for their products so that it runs on Linux comparable to Windows. Maybe even a "Works With Linux" logo would be a bonus for their sales.

    1. 45 minutes to type a simple email.
    2. The dude that said "I'll buy anything thats shiny made by Apple!"

  6. Re:Simple shit you didn't know existed on Ubuntu Kung Fu · · Score: 0

    I was kind of in the same boat as you but over the holidays last week I finally moved over completely to Ubuntu. I set up a VirtualBox XP install for the windows apps and I'm a happy camper. It was extremely simple. [cliche]It makes using the PC fun again.[/cliche]

  7. Karma anyone? on Is the Yellowstone Supervolcano About To Blow? · · Score: 0

    OK, so the worlds about to end. All I'd like is to go out with a little karma on here. I've tried hard but gained none regardless because of some funny comments I've made. Please...please...its not like your going to need it after a few hours!

  8. Re:Best "mouse": Logitech Trackman on The Best Computer Mice In Every Category · · Score: 0

    I've used this for several years at work and home and love it. Surprisingly, it's not on the list. I'd never go back to a regular mouse but I don't use a PC for gaming so that may make a difference.

  9. Govt Exemptions? on Oregon Governor Proposes Vehicle Mileage Tax · · Score: 0

    If they removed the tax on gas and used this, I'm sure they would exempt many government vehicles and save the MANY $$$ on government fuel costs.

  10. Re:Punish failure? on Avoiding Wasted Time With Prince of Persia · · Score: 0

    Whereas the Xbox360 only scratches the game disc beyond playability. This is known as the GameOver() function within MS.

  11. Re:Eat the planet on This Is the Way the World Ends · · Score: 0

    Somebody's been watching too much Dirty Jobs.

  12. Re:More than Two words on Barack Obama Wins US Presidency · · Score: 0

    I would suggest that Saturday Night Live running her into the ground (portrayed by Tina Fey) did more to hurt her than most people think. I'm not sure of her true intelligence but SNL sure made her look like an idiot and she was probably seen by more people on there (and via you-tube) than all news clips and debate coverage combined. Very funny though!

  13. Re:Deck chairs on the Titanic on Barack Obama Wins US Presidency · · Score: 0

    For some reason I can only picture the rats running for safer ground.

  14. Re:I'll Tell You What It Means on Barack Obama Wins US Presidency · · Score: 0

    I disagree about Bush. I don't think he could find his way out of a paper bag. He's only a puppet of the party. I do think both parties are to blame though.

  15. What is it? on Storing Qubits In Nuclei · · Score: 0, Insightful

    What is a quantum computer anyway? Why would someone want one?

  16. Re:for the love of god on Microsoft Uses "I'm a PC" Character In New Ads · · Score: -1

    This is just the successor to the i-everything!

  17. Re:The secret science is wrong on The US Swim Team's Secret Weapon, Science · · Score: -1

    I think you mean "time masheen"

  18. Re:What's the point? on Americans Refusing To Wait For Mainstream EVs · · Score: -1

    My dirt bike gets ~70MPG. You know how long it takes to ride 70 miles of trails?

  19. Well duhhh... on US Broadband Won't Catch Up With Japan's For 101 Years · · Score: -1

    ...they are closer to the Internet than we are - isn't the Internet somewhere in Asia?

  20. So what... on Olympic Opening Ceremony Fireworks Were (Partly) Faked · · Score: 5, Funny

    ...my wife fakes her fireworks all the time and it doesn't bother me.

  21. Re:The lifestyle of small-scale private aviation on MacBook Air Confuses Airport Security · · Score: 0

    found the routine at private airports refreshingly easy - go to the plane, walk around it to make sure nothing's fallen off, run up the engine and take off
    Partner, I'll see you on the 6:00 news!
