  1. Cyberpunk on The Technology of Drug Prohibition · · Score: 1

    Is anyone else reminded of that game?

  2. Obligatory on Researchers Make Mount Etna Sing · · Score: 1

    But will the volcano run linux?

  3. Conspiracy! on More Massive Layoffs at AOL · · Score: 5, Funny

    26%!!?? AOL is cutting their employees by AMD's marketshare. Intel's in bed with AOL! It makes perfect sense!

  4. I wonder... on CEO Shawn Hogan Takes on MPAA · · Score: 5, Funny

    Does he call his team of lawyers "Hogan's Heroes"?

  5. Blu-ray is a poor idea on Nvidia CEO Talks Next-Gen Consoles · · Score: 1

    I do not own a 360. I do not own an X-Box. I do own a PS2. Me, personally, I won't be purchasing the PS3 because it's too damned expensive! Wii all the way. Also, how much do you think Sony paid Nvidia to have him say that? I'm taking bets.

  6. I for one... on NPR Looks to Technological Singularity · · Score: 5, Funny

    ...welcome our new post-human overlords. (Somebody had to say it.)

  7. Corporate? Pshaw... on PowerPoint 0-Day Points to Corporate Espionage · · Score: 3, Funny

    "Symantec's Huger said the sophisticated nature of the attacks suggest it is the work or well-organized criminals associated with industrial espionage." Now, now, Symantec. Everyone who's seen any 007 movie knows. It's not the criminals that are taking down the evil corporation... ...it's the british. ::walks off, whistling James Bond theme::

  8. In Soviet Russia... on 30th Anniversary of Viking Landing on Mars · · Score: 1

    ...Mars probes you! (for 6 years)

  9. Right now... on A Browser War Preview · · Score: 3, Insightful

    ...I'm viewing this with Opera. I have all 3 of the browsers on my computer. Previously, I was a dedicated firefox user. However, I've come to find that Opera uses less than half the RAM of Firefox and that Firefox and IE use about the same amount of RAM as one another when idling on a page (e.g. Google). If your RAM and speed are important to you, go Opera. If your extensions are critical, go Firefox. IE is only worth using if you need to go to an IE only page. To do my own little backlash: Opera is the most efficient. Firefox has the most utilities. IE has the most pages catering to it.

  10. And so it begins on Intel Stepping Up to Combat AMD's 4x4 · · Score: 5, Insightful

    The great hardware war heats up once again. Right now, the biggest advantage Intel has is that their chips are scheduled for an earlier release. If they wait on the Core 2s, they're screwed. They need to get the Core 2 Duos out before AMD gets out their 4x4s so that people have less of a reason to upgrade when AMD releases their chips.

  11. The surrender jokes are old... on Linux-powered Robots From France? Oui! · · Score: 1

    We should use other staples. Yes, it DOES run linux.

  12. Compaq, huh? on Fedora's New Test Lead Plans Changes · · Score: 2, Funny

    From the article: "First introduced to testing at Compaq and IBM, Woods gained enough experience that he was hired two years ago when Red Hat needed someone to develop test automation tools." Testing at Compaq? Compaq tests things!?

  13. Re:I can't be the only one... on Romero's New Gig · · Score: 1

    Wait... you mean that there's another Romero!?

  14. Not quite Geek Squad... on What Do Geek Squad Technicians Actually Do? · · Score: 1

    But I work at Staples. Yes, we do offer computer repair. I'm a high-school student, and to be fair, Best Buy won't even hire me. (You need to be 18, and I'm a year too young.) However, I've fixed computers for a long time, and I was fixing computers even before I worked at Staples. I do not know everything there is to know about computers, and nobody here does. However, everyone here does know at least a bit about computers. I'd say that about 50% of people who do paid tech work actually know anything about computers. Geek Squad is a waste, yes, but sometimes it's just best to bring it to a store where they fix computers and just let them fix it for you.

  15. So... let me get this straight. on New Patent Reform Proposal Focuses on Education · · Score: 1

    They're letting judges voulenteer to take these cases and not be trained... but if they don't want to do thie voulenteer work, they can hand it off to others who ARE trained? America at it's finest.

  16. This'll work, I swear. on New Apple Campaign Target PC Flaws · · Score: 1

    Of all the ideas. Maybe Dell should launch a campaign where they show the 20 year old "alternative" person with 40+ piercings trying to install... ANYTHING on a Mac. That'd be good advertisement. "Don't buy PCs, people target them with viruses because over 95% of the computer using market uses them." ...That always works.

  17. As a young child... on Linux vs. Windows for Schools? · · Score: 1

    I used multiple operating systems. I've used many operating systems, and considering that I am only a junior in high schook, I think I have a high level of knowledge of computers just from what I learned from using unix and linux since I was very young. Exposing them to linux is one of the best things you could do for them.
