    I think it's: Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.

    Use software that wasn't done by a pimple-faced basement dweller.

    Uhm, I don't really think there is any.

    6. You don't have any dead bodies lying around. Numerous and pale spreadsheet apps, for instance.

  4. Re:To: Mr. George W. Bush on Earth's Temperature at Highest Levels in 400 Years · · Score: 0

    But Yartrebo is forgetting that Yartrebo's race did not exist at the time.
    I think Yartrebo not really want really fucking hot either. Nice Yartrebo. Want pony, laughter, green fields and a girl singing in the Alps.

  5. Re:self correcting problem on Earth's Temperature at Highest Levels in 400 Years · · Score: 0

    In the larger view of things it's a "blip".
    And this "blip" will have a dramatic, no, catastrophic impact on fine-tuned ecosystems of today.
    Races may vanish, and man along with them.

  6. Sex-offenders and APs on Man Arrested for Wireless Piggybacking · · Score: 0

    He was a sex-offender?
    Yes, that explains it.
    Sex-offenders and APs are like bizarre lake ceremonies and legendary kings and leaders of circular furniture.

    That is, after they've prodded it from Balmer's shaking hands.

    The field detects, then launch itself down on these things, smearing them into the ground.
    Really effective!

    It is simply solved by people not peeking into other people's USB sticks.
    If you opened my letter, and it contained anthrax, you couldn't blame the manufacturers of the glue.

  12. I'm gonna get it right now on The Fiber to the Premises Install Process · · Score: 0

    Fiber, cat5e, sounds great. Anyone have a torrent?

  13. That's baloney on Can the Malware Industry be Trusted? · · Score: 0

    Migrating to another OS does NOT eliminate the people writing malware.
    Changing your shoes does not change the weather.
    But walking with sandals in a blizzard is not actually helping yourself.

  14. That's too cumbersome on Google Launches Online Spreadsheet System · · Score: 0

    Yes, but we can't all go and get married every time we want a spreadsheet, can we?

  15. Re:Next Up: A Google WebOS? on Google Launches Online Spreadsheet System · · Score: 0

    Perhaps all you'll need pretty soon to be productive is a machine with Linux installed & merely a good web browser?

    Well, you'd still have to do the work. I'm waiting for the robot that logs onto my GMail, research on GScholar, reads my GBooks, updates my GBook and in general just leave me to live my life in peace on a tropical island somewhere. Where I'll sip piña coladas with my Digital Halle Berry.
    With Windows OS that is no problem. The bots on this machine have stayed here long enough to be declared sentient. They are already cancelling external work by sending out enlargement offers. I've never been as productive as this before!

  16. Re:Why do you need it? on Ultrawideband Signal Passes Data Through Walls · · Score: 0

    That being so, why would you need it to go through walls, or better yet, why would you want it to?

    It's just cool! This could give a whole new meaning to gaining remote access:
    "This just in! Teenage hacker takes over Pentagon with a Creative LX700UWB. Security forces arrived shortly after the breakin and hacked his hands off."

  17. Just an environmentalist question on Ultrawideband Signal Passes Data Through Walls · · Score: 0

    Do these signals affect animals or insects in any ways?
    I'm just curious.

  18. We all like exploits on Hacker Resells VOIP For Profit · · Score: 0

    A lot of modern cinema has got us cheering for the bad guys. I love a good diamond robbery tale.
    And look at the NOKAS robbery here in Norway. If they hadn't shot that police officer and been caught, they'd be somewhat heroic. It's because we all like to see major, titan systems exploited by one cunning little thief. We like the idea of hacking.
    Now they even may make a series about the robbery.

    It's just horrible when it ends in death, tho. Just my 2 cents.

    Trees are of limited value, they only exist in special circumstances.

    I think you'd find it hard to breathe without'em.
    As for special circumstances, I think we all could benefit from a walk in the woods every now and then.

  20. Kind of attacking the wrong angle here on Fraud in Internet Dating Prompting Regulation · · Score: 0

    Man, I think you qualify for Troll, Redundant and Nazi all at once!

  22. check your history books on Blizzard's 'Secret Sauce' · · Score: -1

    Nah, you're just making it up as you go, aren't you?

    The Romans had Massive Multiplayer Games (aka wars) and were the first to put them on line in bundles of 100 (legions).
    It wasn't until DOS and console that we had re-spawn points, though.
    And the Romans weren't actually a videogame company either. Not per se, as it were.

    Well, Jesus did throw the merchants out of the courtyard by that temple!
    I'm quite sure he would not be capitalist. Music is about feelings, mostly good feelings. Think: mr. Oizo.

    You're all right. Change Basic or $PROGRAMMING_LINGO with a/the hammer:
    "I don't like the hammer and would like to recommend that we, as an organisation, don't use it..."

    Of course, I've never used Basic in my life. I'm a hammer person.
