  1. Bah! on HP Developing Hybrid Tablet PC / Coffee Table · · Score: 1

    Bah! Go out and buy an old IBM Netfinity box. After getting it (and a hernia after attempting to haul it to your pad), place a sheet of plexi-glass on top of the 8U, 160+lb server box.

  2. Re:Meanwhile on Games Announced, Dated, and Delayed · · Score: 3, Funny
    Duke Nukem Forever is promised to be out shortly after the sun expands into a red giant and destroys the Earth and the entire population of gamers left on it.


    That soon??!?? I always thought that the ship date for that game will be right about the time the entire universe is destroyed.

    I don't think I would ever buy a powersupply that didn't function like this, as I due value the quiet


    In my lab the 8 node AMD 64 cluster exclusively uses Antec SmartPower 2.0 450W power suppiles. Quiet machines lead to very happy users. The silent ps'es are the best thing ever.

    Now if it was possible to silence the crappy fans on the rack mounted machines (including our netfinity boxen), everything would be super.

    Damn Red Shirts / Macos! Never are dependable...

    As a lawyer for the government, I'd like to clarify the statement made by our client to point out that we do not in fact owe you anything.


    As a non-lawyer impersonating a lawyer from the RIAA, I'd like to clarify every statement made by any and every client to point out that you do owe us everything.

    Sure it exists, just not necessarily in every universe.

    Next you'll be telling me that Schrodinger's Cat is alive. Wait, dead... Wait, alive...

  7. Re:my system on How Do You Store Your Previously-Written Code? · · Score: 1

    Yes, but can you install Linux on a dead wolverine?

  8. Re:my system on How Do You Store Your Previously-Written Code? · · Score: 1

    Rookie! I use badgers badgers badgers... magic mushroom.... to store my code.

  9. Re:Oh boy! on Linux beats Windows to Intel iMac · · Score: 1

    Too bad it took 3 months to compile that white text on the black background.

  10. Re:Canada = The new America? on Canadians To Douse Chinese Firewall · · Score: 1

    This wouldn't be the first time the Canadians kicked our American asses... afterall, they DID burn down the White House in 1812.

  11. Re:Right... on Nintendo DS Hurts The Children! · · Score: 1

    I can see the various groups protesting Mario Kart because it teaches children to whack other children.

  12. Re:Right... on Nintendo DS Hurts The Children! · · Score: 1

    Even moreso depending on the orientation of the unit upon insertion.

  13. Re:Right... on Nintendo DS Hurts The Children! · · Score: 1

    That little wrist strap could be a real killer too.

  14. Right... on Nintendo DS Hurts The Children! · · Score: 1

    The **only** real way a Nintendo DS can hurt a child is if the child whacks him/herself with it really hard casusing massive brain damage.

  15. Re:Oopsie. on 10 Best S/F Films That Never Existed · · Score: 1

    I think a Neuromancer movie *could* be made, however it would have to be an anime feature.

    Riiiight, so now those little droplets of piss will form puddles.

    The best way is prevention; blacklights.


    No, actualy the best way is prevention by improving your damn aim, and the creative use of plastic wrap when visitors are at your place.
  18. Re:Anticipation... Anticipayaytion... on Duke Nukem Forever in Production · · Score: 1

    You forgot "waiting for hell to freeze over."

  19. Re:Wait wait wait... in 3001: The Final Oddissy... on Petabyte Storage Array · · Score: 1

    Of course, 3001 was assuming that it would take a long time for a filesystem to be developed that could handle the 1 petabyte drives. This timeframe has since been sped up due to the fact Microsoft has announced that Vista will ship soon and has promised WinFS to be released by 3001.

  20. Re:Wikipedians expose the "congressional edits" on Wikipedia Entries 'Cleaned' By Political Staffers · · Score: 1

    > "These edits range from benificial and informative to libelous and childish."

    That pretty much sums up the internet as we know it.

  21. Re:So what? on Startup Prepares Cracker Attack Emulator · · Score: 4, Funny

    Your testing tool must be outdated. With a new Windows XP box the test now takes 10 minutes or less.

    Graham Crackers can be a real bitch too.

  23. Re:My Method on Stubborn Spyware Removal Advice? · · Score: 1

    True. I guess that reading about the process made it seem much more complicated than just doing it.

    Didn't a few of the people who worked on the Alpha chips work for Samsung too?
