  1. Love? on FMRI Shows Man Loves Wife More Than Angelina Jolie · · Score: 1

    That's the wrong question...

  2. Re:Why does everyone hate Ribbon? It's great! on Office 2010 Technical Preview Leaked · · Score: 1

    Cedric: Why don't you want to wear the ribbon?
    Kramer: Why should I?
    Cedric: You have to, everyone is.
    Kramer: That's why I don't want to.

  3. Re:Haha on Computer Chess Programs Vie "Live" For World Championship · · Score: 1

    Ah! When will Dungeons & Dragons be admitted as an Olympic sport!

  4. Re:The World's Greatest Spectator Sport on Computer Chess Programs Vie "Live" For World Championship · · Score: 3, Insightful

    It will be when computers start playing dramatic moves, or really know, read and adapt to their opponents well. As it is, I found that most comp vs comp games very boring in a strangely drawish way.

  5. Hey dawg on Surveying the World of the Biggest Server Farms · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I heard you like to farm servers, so I put a server farm in your farm so you can service your servers while serving your farm.

  6. Re:These places should do what others do on Portables Without Cameras? · · Score: 1

    A special tamper-proof tag? Do you mean all my consumer electronics contain a special spying camera?!

  7. Re:Some, not all... on Old-School Coding Techniques You May Not Miss · · Score: 1

    They're just a tiny minority these days?

    yeah, but a lot of.. "programmers".. make a "tiny" salary these days also :)

    You got a Mac, why not deal with the core problem? :)

  9. Re:I felt... on USB-Based NIC Torrents While Your PC Sleeps · · Score: 1

    Use the force!

  10. Re:release date on How Vista Mistakes Changed Windows 7 Development · · Score: 0

    Done with the OS X.6 already! Why don't they call it OS XI? Or OS Y? Or iOS?

    At least Ubuntu has cute names I can rely on!

    (on a side note, if I spelled Ubuntu wrong, it's because of the parent because I never remember if we put the "n" before or after the "b" :) )

  11. Re:Tv went blank. on Digital TV Coupon Program Under Way Again · · Score: 1

    What about the gone-on-DVD series you rip off BitTorrent?

  12. Re:Is Dreamweaver good? on Dreamweaver Is Dying; Long Live Drupal! · · Score: 1

    Yeah, why a designer would need *design* tools anyway ... like we're all nerds and programmers and such ... read the first sentence of the summary for god sake.

  13. This is all a big honeypot! on Pirate Bay Operators Stand Trial On Monday · · Score: 2, Funny

    Don't listen to the free streaming!! Everyone knows the Internets aren't free! And pirated content always comes with installers in weird languages. If you listen to this you are pirating the Internets, and FBI agents will come to you. Buy cable TV and get your news straight please.

  14. Where's is on Some Of Australia's Tubes Are About To Be Filtered · · Score: 1

    Yahoo Serious when you need him?!

  15. Re:I don't understand on Some Of Australia's Tubes Are About To Be Filtered · · Score: 2, Funny

    You're very right sir. We very much prefer nice comfy chairs.

  16. Re:I have resisted Facebook and will continue to on FBML Essentials · · Score: 1

    Well there are two ways to pick up girls ...

    Face the challenge of getting her phone-number and actually call her (if the phone number is real, that is!) ...

    Or face the challenge of casually telling her "hey, I'll add you on Facebook!" and REMEMBER her last & first names ...

    Unfortunately, I'm bad at both :/

    But fortunately, the girls have way better memory (or they tend to get less drunk?) so Facebook still sometimes works.

    Anyway, that is the sole reason I have a profile on Facebook (oh, and to re-trace my ex-girlfriends & pre-school crushes ... in order to get news about their babies and happy families ... *sigh*) ... yeah, after all, I agree with all your privacy stuff :)

  17. Re:How should Google respond? on Google Privacy Counsel Facing Criminal Charges · · Score: 1

    That would probably be what would have happened had Bush father given junior a job at Google instead of in politics ;)

  18. GDrive slogan! on Google Unofficially Announces GDrive By Leaked Code · · Score: 2, Funny

    GDrive! A hard-disk governments and corporate businesses can finally google on!

  19. Re:Oh no on Microsoft Surface To Coordinate SuperBowl Security · · Score: 1

    Well I wouldn't Mod that parent "troll", he kinda has a point.. BSOD are anecdotal these days. Sure.. under certain situations, and especially if you work in IT, you'll see them more often.. but for the average user it's practically gone.

    The only times I remember having to hard reboot my computer in the last few years except when trying experimental things were in the summer when my CPU overheats while playing games.

    Anyway, it's way less worst than it was before, and I agree that criticizing Windows for its stability is a little old-school. I had problems with Unbuntu and Macs as well ... maybe OpenVMS is better?

      - my two cents

  20. What's with the flamebait title? on Bill Gates' Plan To Destroy Music, Note By Note · · Score: 1

    Here we have a software à la Band-in-a-box with note recognition and automatic music generation from a live recording ... what's so bad about it?

    Sure you can cue jokes on it, it's funny to see a calypso version of Roxanne with crappy MIDI-like instruments ... but the user has selected this style of music to start off with so it's not has it has been generated out of the blue. And there seems to be an advanced mode to tweak the instrumentation as well ... so in theory I guess you can create something much closer to the real song.

    These kind of softwares are meant to be a kind of canvas to practice music, not to publish songs ... or a fun "karaoke-let's-do-silly-things" thing as Songsmith seems to promote. So what's the big deal here? I find it to be quite an ingenious piece of software for what it's worth (it's a field of research where everything is far from being perfect!)

    If this was some obscure Open-Source Project seeking founds people would be ecstatic ... what, you don't like Microsoft being creative for once?

  21. Re:Offered his brain for further scientific study on The Unforgettable Amnesiac · · Score: 2, Funny

    You only have to get his signature on some paper ONCE ;)

  22. Other side of the story on Guitarist Hopes To Play Again With The Help of Bionic Hand · · Score: 3, Funny

    Bionic hand hopes to play again with the help of a guitarist.

  23. Why are we even answering this? on Losing My Software Rights? · · Score: 1

    I see lot of posts with "get an attorney" but you didn't even explain your situation ... ok, you wrote a piece of research software in the context of your research project. Why do you want exclusivity here?

    1 - do you think you'll not be quoted in publications?
    2 - were you on coke and do you think you cannot duplicate the results of your coding for a private company?
    3 - are you American?

  24. I use my own computer for a child on Computer For a Child? · · Score: 1

    It's a desktop and I call it Bobby. No diapers and all that crap, only pure parenting joy!

  25. Re:When I was a little boy.... on The Laptop Celebrates Its 40th Year · · Score: 1

    your abacus was heavier than my wife?!
