  1. Re:How do you punish a 16-year old spammer? on How Do You Punish a 16-year-old Spammer? · · Score: 1

    Somehow I have the feeling that Pink Floyd was meant to stay a LONG way away from that comment...


    "How can you have any pudding if you don't eat your meat?"

  2. Re:16? Nope. on How Do You Punish a 16-year-old Spammer? · · Score: 1

    "... the curfew times are a joke- 12.30-7.30am weekdays and 13.30-10.00 on weekends. When the little blighter will be alseep..."

    You've got a point, but you forgot about 60 hours a week in there somewhere.

  3. Figures. on SanDisk Releases New iPod rival · · Score: 1

    "Note: 1 megabyte (MB) = 1 million bytes; 1 gigabyte (GB) = 1 billion bytes."

    So, as usual, they use the "marketing" term for MB and GB.

  4. Re:Not to defend, but... on Microsoft License Goes to OSI But Not From Redmond · · Score: 1

    Microsoft didn't say 'Drop it'.

    Nooo. They said 'Drop it like it's HOT!'

  5. Re:Happy pills are good, if used properly on Ever-Happy Mouse Sheds Light on Depression · · Score: 1

    Agreed, but like you said, as we've seen in other genetic SNAFUs, there always seems to be a tradeoff. Sigh.

    If it plugs into a cigarette lighter and sits on the dash...

    Why not just unplug it?

    Why, didn't you get the memo? More isn't always better.

    Ok, ok. I lied. It is.

  8. Re:Attack of the Trailer! on Snakes on The Net Fail to Put Butts in the Seats · · Score: 1

    Well, if it's a 747, go... Upstairs. And THEN turn off the heat downstairs. Or just herd them all into the cargo hold.

  9. Re:It's been beaten to death, but... on Zelda on the Wii To Include Sword Swinging · · Score: 1

    Can we erase both these comments and Wii-try?

  10. Typo. on Microsoft Flubs Patch, Putting Users At Risk · · Score: 1

    Are you sure the submitter meant "Patch"? It's clear they meant "Operating System".

  14. Re:TrueCrypt? on Locking Up Linux, Creating a Cryptobook · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't it all look like "used" space, though, if it's filled with random characters?

  19. Re:Why oh why oh why??? on EFF Files Complaint with FTC Over AOL Data Leak · · Score: 1

    "I'm not saying that in any way AOL users "deserved" this -- nobody does"

    Fair enough, but come on, not EVEN AOL users??? We have to draw the line somewhere.

  20. Re:I'm not too interested. on AMD Announces Quad Core Tape-Out · · Score: 1

    Well yes, but ANY bang for free gives you a divide-by-zero in the Bang-for-the-buck department.

  21. Re:What are they teaching now? on The Trouble With Rounding Floats · · Score: 1

    I believe the poster meant "Try representing 1/3 in decimal form in any finite number of digits."

    Again, that's easy, you use 0.3, with a 'repeating' bar over the 3, but that's beside the point.
