  3. Re:Think outside of the box! on When Cellphones Become Webservers · · Score: 1

    I guess that would give new meaning to the old term 'wardialing'?

    Yarrrrr! Thar be tha booty!

  5. Re:Just wait a gosh darn minute, here.... on The 25 Worst Tech Products of All Time · · Score: 1

    Actually, the 100MB disks were more like $25-$30. The scary part? They've stuck around in some uses.

  6. Buggy software gets shipped... on Why Buggy Software Gets Shipped · · Score: 1

    Isn't that part of Microsoft's business model?

  7. Re:No different than normal on Free Nationwide Wireless Internet Access? · · Score: 1

    No, that's called 'government'.

  8. Re:Retention policy? on Convicted Hacker Adrian Lamo Refuses to Give Blood · · Score: 2, Informative

    AFAIK, there was a case where they did this with a rape suspect.. Got his DNA to rule him out of a murder trial, but they used it to convict him in the rape trial.

  9. Re:SSN's....Too Late on Congress To Restrict Social Security Number Use · · Score: 1

    >No number? No employment, no credit, no benifits, no STATE drivers license

    And.. No soup for you!

  10. Lunch on MPAA training Dogs to Sniff Out DVDs · · Score: 1

    "Seriously, this is like training drug dogs to find plastic bags."

    What, you mean I can't ship sandwiches with FedEx anymore?

  11. Obligatory on Mainframe Programming to Make a Comeback? · · Score: 3, Funny

    I, for one, welcome our old COBOL overlords.

  12. Re:Not Bad on Pepper Pad, an Open Alternative to MS Origami · · Score: 1

    I think the stand's there if you want to watch movies or other long processes, but you can fold up the stand and carry it around to browse the internet or take notes. I still think that keyboard will hurt, though...

  13. Re:Welcome to Software Engineering on Places Feature Cut From Firefox 2 · · Score: 1

    I thought that's what happens when a government job gets done.

  14. Re:Gridpoint in a gridlock on Store Your Own Juice · · Score: 1

    > Therefore it is only capable to run 2 PC's (oh make that one because it already has one itself) and a few lights.

    Also noting that computer power supplies don't run at full rated capacities. And also note that you can get fluorescent bulbs that run about 15W a piece.

    The whole idea of the thing is to allow for storage (although not very efficiently) of power. This is always supplemented by line power if needed.

  15. "Big Brother" on Are National ID Cards a Good Idea? · · Score: 1

    I know this may sound absurd, but everyone's all like "OMG Governments want to spy on us".

    Anyone ever notice other forms of government identification they already use? think.. SIN number/Social Security Number? They track your employment, how much you make, everything about your employment.

    For Canadian provinces with health care, there's a health card with, amazingly enough, a number.

    We're already numbers, face it.

  16. Obligatory on Nintendo Revolution Renamed 'Wii' · · Score: 0

    Nintendo Whyy?

    Mmm... Cornchips!

  19. I won't mince words on Asus PW191 LCD Review · · Score: 1

    But I think "handsomest" is a pretty well-butchered word.

  20. Re:Cue Paranoia on New Internet Regulation Proposed · · Score: 1

    'Won't someone PLEASE think of the children??'

  21. Re:Semantics are important here on The Future of Innovation At Stake? · · Score: 1

    How is it a monopoly if they bundle *two* players into a product? I would hardly call open-source software a "monopoly".

  22. Re:Vista exceeds Linux and OS X? on How Vista Disappoints · · Score: 1

    I think you mean to say, "Where's the beef???"

  23. Re:WOW on Google Wins Rights to Aussie Algorithm · · Score: 1

    I, for one, don't welcome our new English-major, CS-minor overlords.

  24. Re:Too little too late? on Lucent Sues Microsoft, Wants All 360s Recalled · · Score: 1

    But how much money could Lucent make enforcing patents on FREE products?
