  1. Re:Feces? on Space Elevators Could Be Lethal · · Score: 1

    Think a lot of polish farmers tried to use human waste as fertilizers. Killed a few people around Europe, that did. /G

    So, if I rob a lot of banks, liquerstores and pawnshop, and then give away 33%, I'm a hero? Kewl!

    2: Ouiiiii!!!

    (Damn, that was lame!) /G

  4. Re:This is good, but... on Sun Open Sources Java Under GPL · · Score: 1

    Why is the original Bittorrent client usable, while Azereus is a resource-hog that would kill my server if I tried to execute it?

    /G

    ps: I positivoly hate coding in Python...

  5. Re:at best, good on Active Noise-Canceling Headsets In Server Rooms? · · Score: 1

    you have annoying stewardesses at work?

  6. Re:One possible scheme on Microsoft Interested In More Linux Deals · · Score: 1

    That would be similar to their approach with the Unix Services for Windows - which didn't work really...

  8. Re:Hell called. on Microsoft To Announce Linux Partnership · · Score: 1

    So does virtual sex, but that doesn't make it a good idea!

  9. No one heard about it, is why! on $100 PC Pledges Fail To Meet Minimum · · Score: 1

    "It looks like a mention in Slashback a few weeks ago gave a boost to the effort, but not a big enough one."

    Sounds reasonable, since Slashdot is still the only place where I've heard about this project. /G

  10. How is this "News"? on Antarctic Microbes Could Live on Mars · · Score: 1

    How on earth, or other flying rocks, is this news, when I remember reading about this over a decade ago, in biology-books even??? /G

  11. Re:No sympathy for McAfee and Symantec on Google To Microsoft — Give Users Choices In Vista · · Score: 1

    No, more like Twinnigs making it possible to only eat their cookies for tea!

  12. Re:In reality... on Make Linux "Gorgeous," Says Ubuntu Leader · · Score: 1

    I wonder how hard I would get hit for setting up a search-site called www.gnuugle.com

  16. Re:Most people don't know IE7 is out on Firefox 2 Downloads Top 2 million in 24 Hours · · Score: 1

    "inelegant"? Hmm..

    But not so - first time he tells IEView to alway open URLs for work in IEView (I do this for the work-domain), and now he only has to worry about having 1 browser(-window) open at any time.

    Incidently, IEView is also cool to demo Firefox with. Open page in 1 tab, open same page in IEView tab. Now show the difference to people (Bad HTML, adblocked ads etc.) Remember to show that it Works; All proper sites render correctly.

    Cheers,

  18. Drop Gilette on Moore's Law For Razor Blades? · · Score: 1

    This race-for-more-blades is silly, and worse is, Gilette still gets it wrong.

    Now, I have some pretty coarse, thick hair, but Gilette-razors are unable to give me 1 full shave. When face(!) is ~80% done, the blades are so dull, that I risk cutting myself.
    Wilkinsons Quattro (yes, 4-bladed) actually lasts me 2-3 full shaves, and even older models would last me at least 1 full shave. ...only problem is, Gilette is sold everywhere, Wilkinsons I had to get from a UK webstore. Today, when friends have borrowed a blade from me, they too switch to Wilkinson, if they can get them anywhere. /G

  19. Re:Oh the silliness of consumer marketing. on High-Def Format Wars - Battle of the Freebies · · Score: 1

    "However, the new Blu-ray and HD-DVD's....well, people are pretty happy with the normal DVD...hell, some of them have only had them for 2-4 years even now."

    Even less. I only bought one about 18 months ago - and only because they now come with (crappy?) surround-sound thingies and all in one small package.

    Yes, I'm a techie, but I do not get the obsession with having every movie on DVD, when there are cinemas and digital movie-channels... I just do not get it. /G

  20. Re:The problem... on Quebec Bans Electronic Voting · · Score: 3, Funny

    Assuming that "Larus" is from the USA, then what is wrong is that not enough elections are bought in Quebec, and not enough Quebequais (spellink anyone? help?) are randomly attacking poor countries for dubious reasons....

    See? Complete lack of Democracy! /G

  21. Re:If you can read this, we're not that bad on US Slips Again In Freedom of the Press Ranking · · Score: 1

    Yes, because there is always someone complaining.

    So:

    Little complaining == Good
    No complaining == Bad

    I'll let filling in any blanks be an exercise for the reader. /G

  22. Re:The future of clothing? on How Animatronic Clothes Work · · Score: 1

    Interesting that the nude model is one of the shortest - apparently thats her only chance of a career?

    Popey also says that pedeophiles are bad - that never stopped anyone.

  24. Re:Oh please on IT and Divorce? · · Score: 1

    I decided to only work more than 40/h weeks when I am away - the weeks I am home (most), it is never more than 40. Its a choice, and mine just works. /G

  25. Re:Its AVAILABLE ONLINE on KDE on the NBC Show "Heroes" · · Score: 1

    Requires that you are located in the US, so hardly relevant if only for ~4% of the world.
