  1. Hey! on IT Worker Shortages Everywhere · · Score: 4, Funny

    Most IT workers aren't short all over. They're only short where it counts...

  2. Re:Paper ballots on Voting Machine Glitches Already Being Reported · · Score: 1

    I'm not sure he be stupid enough...

  3. Re:Vote because some of us cant.. on Voting Machine Glitches Already Being Reported · · Score: 2, Funny

    Yeah, I agree. I can't for the life of me understand why our founding fathers didn't just go somewhere else when they were faced with circumstances that they didn't like. But noooooo, instead they had to go and actually enact change...

  4. Re:Vote because some of us cant.. on Voting Machine Glitches Already Being Reported · · Score: 1

    Are you saying Fenty smokes crack? ;-)

  5. Re:And in the UK, they want to make human/cow hybr on Stem Cell Research Bill Clears Australian Senate · · Score: 1

    And in the UK, they want to make human/cow hybrids

    Pffft. We already have those here in America. We call them "midwesterners."

  6. Re:Mission Accomplished on Saddam Hussein Sentenced to Death · · Score: 1

    When I take my car to the carwash and a bird shits on the car after it's been cleaned but before they give it back to me, I still expect them to clean it off. Even if it means they need to do it a second time.

  7. Those wacky Turks on Mahir To Borat, I Sue You! · · Score: 1

    I can play many instruments, but best I play accordion-flute-mandolin-violin-drum-and-saz (Turkish instrument).

    Where can I get one of these Turkish accordian-flute-mandolin-violin-drum-and-saz things? And how the hell are you supposed to play it?

  8. Re:Mission Accomplished on Saddam Hussein Sentenced to Death · · Score: 1

    Meanwhile, companies like Bechtel are withdrawing from Iraq, even though they haven't accomplished the tasks that they were awarded contracts to do.

  9. Re:Who is Peter Jenner? on Music Labels Screwed, DRM Is Dead · · Score: 1

    You clearly have no clue as to what a manager's function is, since you make reference as to whether or not Jenner affected PF's sound (you're possibly getting the role confused with a producer, who does affect the sound). A manager is the person who manages the band's business aspects--booking shows, dealing with contracts, setting up licensing, etc. It's very much a behind-the-scenes role, which is why you generally don't hear about them. However, they are very instrumental (ha!) in guiding a band's career.

  10. AMFV on Games That Advanced the Art of Storytelling · · Score: 1

    I'm glad to see that A Mind Forever Voyaging made it onto their honorable mentions list. I remember getting sucked into that game around sixth grade or so. It was truly an experience to sit there at the computer reading the screen and seeing how the authors made civilization change from decade to decade. Parks and streets came and went. Businesses transformed themselves. Honestly, it really did open my eyes to the types of changes I could expect to see over my lifetime (not the sort of thing a typical 13 year old thinks about). I should sit down and play through it again one of these days.

  11. "Free" on Cingular's Free Music · · Score: 1

    Write to me now for FREE information on how you can make money by sitting on your ass! Send me $10 and I'll tell you how...

  12. Re:Wi-fi sharing on iPod Owners Not As Loyal To Brand As Mac Owners · · Score: 1

    downloading a song over wi-fi will kill your battery life faster than you can say my battery's dead.

    But downloading a song over wi-fi from someone else's zune won't?

  13. Re:but can Zune become the new iPod? No. on iPod Owners Not As Loyal To Brand As Mac Owners · · Score: 3, Funny

    Interesting I can't see anywhere on the Zune site where it actually states that the Zune comes with headphones. Does it? If it does include them then what are they like?

    More importantly, where will I be able to get a replacement set of headphones in shit-brown?

  14. Re:Clearly. on FCC Nixes Airport's Ban On Private Net Access · · Score: 1

    Have you seen the prices they charge for that crap-in-a-box they serve there?

    I thought he said they took out the pay-toilets...

  15. Re:Thank you Nintendo on Japan To Get Wii With DVD Player · · Score: 1

    Unless your audio receiver/amplifier will let you play four inputs simultaneously, you're probably better off just downloading one of the pre-mixed versions of it. Even then, it's not that great. It was a nice concept though...

  16. release date on Halo Movie Postponed, Street Fighter Movie On · · Score: 2, Funny

    I heard the Halo movie will be released alongside Duke Nukem Forever: The Movie.

  17. chair on Throwable Game Controllers · · Score: 4, Funny

    The chair version of this controller will be an xBox 360 exclusive.

  18. Re:Features? on Motorola Develops Bare-Bones Phone · · Score: 1

    Ahhh, but it does do wireless!

  19. Re: ????? Link working? on Apple Unveils Extra Leopard-isms To Developers · · Score: 5, Funny

    3 browsers and 2 OSes, no luck loading the link yet.. anyone else?

    The problem is clearly that you're using the wrong browser and OS combination. Keep on trying different ones. One of them will get the link to load.

  20. Re:Too floppy on Cringely's Shameless Self-Promotion · · Score: 1

    Yes, but what about gyroscopic forces? :-p

  21. Re:Secure, non-transferable... no DRM? on Selling Independent MP3s Direct to Customer? · · Score: 1

    That's exactly the question I had. The only other explanation that I can think of is that he wants to generate a one-time link to the file after the purchase has been successfully processed.

  22. Re:"Quixtory" and "Vrows" ?? on Carpenter Breaks Previous Scrabble Point Record · · Score: 1

    Yes, I realized that I should have mentioned that quixotry is the noun form of quixotic right after I posted. I figured someone would come along and make that distinction for me. : p

  23. Re:Major misconception on The Web 2.0 Conundrum - How Much Control is Too Much? · · Score: 2, Funny

    I thought it meant that all posts belonged to this guy.

  24. Re:"Quixtory" and "Vrows" ?? on Carpenter Breaks Previous Scrabble Point Record · · Score: 5, Informative

    'Quixotry' is a variant of 'quixotic,' which means (from Merriam-Webster) "foolishly impractical especially in the pursuit of ideals; especially : marked by rash lofty romantic ideas or extravagantly chivalrous action." The word derives from Cervantes' Don Quixote.

  25. Re:reason on Creepy Windows XP Halloween mask · · Score: 1

    I'd be pretty terrified of a Microsoft Bob or a Clippy mask.
