  1. Re:C'mon up to Canada Y'all on RCMP Won't Go After Personal Filesharers · · Score: 1

    11. Canada's the only place you won't get slapped for asking for a Beaver Tail.

  2. This is it! on FBI May Have Datamined Grocery Stores With Help From Credit Companies · · Score: 1

    This is just the tip of the iceberg lettuce!

  3. Re:Gibirish!? on Seagate Offers Refunds on 6.2 Million Hard Drives · · Score: 1

    The "gibirish" tag is a cross between 'gibibyte' (10^9 bytes) and 'gibberish'.

    (I thought it was obvious?)

  4. Re:A "Millionfold" is not the same as a Million ti on Comet Unexpectedly Brightens a Millionfold · · Score: 1

    Or roughly equivalent to a Jiggawatt, yes.

  5. FUEGO on Man Claims iPod Set His Pants Aflame · · Score: 1

    Obligatory double-entendre:

    FUEEEEEEEEEGO en mis pantalones!

  6. Oh, come on. on MMO Bans Men Playing As Women · · Score: 1

    We all know their admins just want to get the occasional peek when someone forgets where their webcam is pointing.

  7. Cars. on Canadian Dollar Reaches Parity with US$ · · Score: 1

    One problem, we still pay too damn much for the same car. And, they don't want us driving to the US to buy one, either.

  8. Re:Rights and public media on A Campaign to Block Firefox Users? · · Score: 1

    You kinda have to turn down the volume during commercials, since they turn it UP so much compared to the TV shows.

  9. Re:Power on New Chip-cooling Technology · · Score: 1

    Sorry, it looks like your tag is sticking. I'll get someone from tech support to fix it right away.

  10. Re:Smaller is better? on Pico-ITX, Because Size Matters · · Score: 1

    You've got a point. They're trying to make it look *tiny*. I guess that's why they keep marketers around ;)

  11. Re:Smaller is better? on Pico-ITX, Because Size Matters · · Score: 1

    It would make more sense to use a 2.5" hard drive if they could package whatever machine it is they're making into a smaller container, and use less power.

  12. Smaller is better? on Pico-ITX, Because Size Matters · · Score: 1

    I'm sorry, but when it gets to the point that a standard, 3.5" hard drive is bigger than your motherboard... it may be time to rethink where you're targetting it. I would have shown it next to, for example, a laptop hard drive instead; it might just make more sense.

  13. Slashdotted on Fox News' FTP Password Anyone? · · Score: 1

    This event has also been WikiNews'd , as "Fox News security hole exposes 1.5 million users' personal information".

    FARK.com also reported on WikiNews's article.

  14. Let me be the first to say... on Vonage Wins Permanent Stay in Verizon Case · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Woo hoo! Woo hoo hoo!

  15. Re:Conspiracy Theory # 90...565 on AMD Reports $611 Million Loss · · Score: 1

    Time for the obligatory "This.. Is.. BARTAAAAN!"

    I know, it's Barton. But it just doesn't yell as well.

  16. Re:Can I get a hell yeah! on Thompson Stifled by Take Two Suit · · Score: 1

    You never know, that Duck Hunt gun looks just a little TOO realistic. Might give kids the wrong idea.

  17. New Name on New Ubuntu Project Code Named 'Gutsy Gibbon' · · Score: 1

    I really think it should instead be called Ginger Gerbil.

  18. Bell Sympatico (Canada) on How Does Your ISP Handle Top-Usage Customers? · · Score: 1

    Bell won't cap your usage, so long as you sign up on one of those telemarketing sprees, and remember to ask them about the usage cap, they'll be sure to say 'none'.

    Though, I don't know if you really want your DSL with Bell.

  19. Re:hmmm on PC Makers Say Vista Is Not a Seller · · Score: 1

    "... other than flip3d... and the new start menu, it's the same old shit, only with more irritating user access control." So since "XP *really* is a steaming pile of shit", you're upgrading to Vista, which is "the same old shit".

    I don't get it.

  20. Re:Cheaper..... on Data Centers Breathe Easier With Less Oxygen · · Score: 1

    I'm not sure about that. We all know managers produce a lot of hot air.

  21. Re:Um. on Nanotechnology Reveals Hidden Fingerprints · · Score: 1

    Don't make me call Grissom.

  22. Re:Will It Run on My Mac? on Ubuntu Feisty Fawn - Desktop Linux Matured · · Score: 1

    Have you tried Feisty? Have you submitted a bug on Ubuntu's bug tracker? Just curious.

  23. Been there. on Blogger System Sites Used for Phishing · · Score: 2, Informative

    I've had numerous attacks against my site, which of course don't work because I don't allow script tags, but I've reported the target sites to their respective webhosts and registrars, and had at least a few blocked/cancelled/warned/etc. Most registrars and webhosts are more than happy to put these sites out of their misery.

  24. Re:OpenBSD - now TWICE as insecure on Remote Exploit Discovered for OpenBSD · · Score: 1

    Or it's gone from 1 in 1 million to 1 in 500,000

  25. Re:Dealing with stuff like this...... on Audit Finds FBI Abused Patriot Act · · Score: 1

    You are coming to a sad realization. Cancel or allow?
