  1. Re:Article summary wrong (surprise) on Gilmore Loses Airport ID Case · · Score: 0

    Airliners don't fly high enough for explosive decompression. You could blow a hole in the side of a plane the size of a desk and it'll just be a little windy.

    Oh God, don't say that! You'll break the poor mans heart.

    And then there's the look of horror when they see the command line again. Thinking that they got rid of that when DOS died. Terminal? What's that? OH GOD NO!!

  4. Re:I bought his last album on Weird Al Says 'Don't Download This Song' · · Score: 0

    Running with Scissors did have some kind of DRM attached. When you browse to the CD drive there's nothing but a text file explaining that because of the special multimedia on the CD, you could not play them or rip the songs to your computer.

  5. Re:Virus/adware-spreading ads on Banner Ad on Myspace Serves Adware to 1 Million · · Score: 3, Funny

    The Government is spying on you and killing off people who speak bad about the government. The whole "Freedom" thing is a public face, the original writers of the Constitution are a mysterious and well hidden group that has links to The Masons and Illuminati.

    Can I substantiate this? Yes. Will I substantiate it? No.

    I don't care if anyone believes me. Just remember, you heard it here first.


    Oh and pass the bong, dude. Thanks.

  6. Re:that's great, but why? on Microsoft COO Warns Google Away From Corp Search · · Score: 0

    why don't they stop focusing on a competitor that they have essentially imagined and start focusing on making vista worth upgrading to

    Because they could put a turd in a Windows box and they'll still sell millions of copies.

  9. Re:It's like comparing apples and idiots on How Nintendo Could Win It All · · Score: 0
    How can you read an article that starts with the question of who will win the handheld console war and COMPLETELY FAIL TO MENTION THAT PSP's PLAY MOVIES!!! I would try to be nice, or even diplomatic about it, but I have to say that this article is crap and the author is an idiot.


    Yea, if you like to spend $20 on a UMD when you can buy a DVD and watch the same movie in a much higher quality for the same or less money. Plus the fact that only a few movies are released in that format.

    Yea but Clippy doesn't spy on you. He happily sits there and watches you type and gives useful little hints!

    Firefox = Clunky fixer-upper that you have to restart every time you change something

    Hmm, that's a new one, you sure you're talking about Firefox?

    You know, Opera used to be a real P.O.S. in its earlier versions...

  16. Re:Multiplatform? I think not. on Google Instant Messenger Coming Really (or Not?) · · Score: -1

    Jabber does work with Trilian Basic. All IM Protocol plugins work with Basic. You might want to doublecheck your info.

  22. Re:well... on FCC Proposes Abolishing Morse Code Requirement · · Score: 0

    Learning Morse Code can be a difficult barrier for many new members. I suck at morse code (just barely passed the 5 WPM test after the second time) so I'm sure it was more difficult for others.

    The written exam is not on Morse Code, it's on general radio knowledge (and much more difficult knowledge depending on what license you are going for).

  23. Re:Seriously- on Doomed: How id Lost Its Crown · · Score: 0

    Actually the Gravity Gun was supposed to be in the original version of Doom3 but was scrapped due to time restraints. You can actually use it with a few fancy hacks but it's missing all the fancy graphics to go along with it (including the gun itself) but it does work with many objects.

    ... or even bring back the Saturn V An International Treaty states that no one can build more Saturn (or similarly sized) rockets or put the still existing ones (I think there are 3 or 4) back together. But then again, since when have we given a shit about what the rest of the world thinks?
