  1. Not an easy install... and breaking new things... on Should Being Competitive With Windows Matter For Linux? · · Score: 1

    The problem I have with Linux desktop environments is the constant tinkering that must go on to get it to work properly. (And of course the next release comes out and breaks stuff that was working fine before.)

  2. We need crotch sniffing dogs... on TSA To Make Pat-Downs More Embarrassing To Encourage Scanner Use · · Score: 1

    My brother's dog would qualify, no problem. Nothing more embarrassing than having the crotch missile at family gatherings or when trying to talk to that hot chick at the dog park...

  3. Depends on how much you want to spend... on Why Are We Losing Vertical Pixels? · · Score: 1

    DELL UltraSharp U2211H 21.5-inch, 1920x1200 $249 DELL UltraSharp U2711 27-inch, 2560 x 1440 $949 Personally I would go with a multi-monitor setup at this point. You could have one landscape and one portrait for your full page display.

  4. "Piracy driving people to vinyl..." on CD Sales Continue To Plummet, Vinyl Records Soar · · Score: 1

    "Piracy is driving people to vinyl," industry experts concluded.

  5. Re:Its a pilot program, an experiment, it might wo on School Swaps Math Textbooks For iPads · · Score: 1

    Wasn't there some university trial on Kindles similar to this?

  6. Flash game titles for NK games... on Rupert Murdoch Publishes North Korean Flash Games · · Score: 1

    Sim-Nuke
    Missile Command
    Border Defense (version of Tower Defense)
    Whack-a-Dissident (version of Whack-a-Mole)
    Great Leader (third person, role fantasy game)
    ...

  7. Re:A good idea on Top Authors Make eBook Deal, Bypassing Publishers · · Score: 1

    So at some point the publisher's start suing the end-users (just to stay consistent with the media business models we've been seeing so far...)

  8. Re:Missing context... on Google Engineer Decries Complexity of Java, C++ · · Score: 1

    Okay so he's bashing compiled languages and bashing interpreted languages, so what's left? I guess flipping 1's and 0's with a binary editor I guess...

  9. Ozzy and AC/DC --- gateway sounds... on Sound As the New Illegal Narcotic? · · Score: 1

    Ozzy and AC/DC were always gateway sounds that led to hardcore drug use...

  10. Re:Uses on Solar Plane Completes 24-Hour Flight · · Score: 1

    Or alternatives to satellite repeaters? Just have a blanket of these encircling areas 24/7.

  11. Re:Does the U.S. really want to be like China or I on Say No To a Government Internet "Kill Switch" · · Score: 1

    Probably wouldn't do any good. Skynet would have figured out other methods to disseminate command and control operations by the time the ISPs got notified.

  12. How about a tweet when the dryer cycle is over? on Why Intel Wants To Network Your Clothes Dryer · · Score: 1

    What I'd really care more about the power usage is knowing when the washer or dryer cycle has completed. How about if we network those notifications...

  13. Use the people monitoring SCRAM bracelets... on California Tracks Parolees With GPS, Then Ignores Alerts · · Score: 1

    They seem to be monitoring those alerts at the micro-second level. Just ask Lindsay Lohan...

  14. Now try Monkey Pron... on Study Shows Monkeys Like Watching TV · · Score: 1

    Using the circus videos as a control, now give them a channel changer and put pron on the other channel...

  15. Re:Correction: 37% is NUDITY on Over a Third of the Internet Is Pornographic · · Score: 1

    Oh I thought it was farm animals...

  16. Re:Thats more porn... on Over a Third of the Internet Is Pornographic · · Score: 5, Funny

    Yes, it's such a shame that the intrigue and drama in the porn plot lines have suffered so. I was always on the edge of my seat because who ever knew why the pizza delivery boy was there at the mansion? And the anguish and inner conflict experienced by the pool boy or gardener as they struggle with the business/client relationship. Should they pursue the relationship with the housewife who's there alone, but yet pays their bills?

  17. Would that work in Hollywood? on Nose Scanners — the New Face of Biometrics? · · Score: 1

    Rhinoplasty capital of the world?

  18. Went out for a pack of cigarettes... on Long-Running Underwater Robot Lost At Sea · · Score: 1

    They should have suspected something when it said it was just going down to the corner store for a pack of smokes...

  19. Germans also love The Hoff on One Quarter of Germans Happy To Have Chip Implants · · Score: 1

    Nuff said...

  20. Re:No one is wrong here... on Officials Sue Couple Who Removed Their Lawn · · Score: 1

    So I guess artificial turf isn't an option...

  21. Just happened to have a cannonball handy? on Delta Rocket Crashes In Mongolia · · Score: 1

    What's up with the cannonball? So they just happened to carry a supply of these in the truck?

  22. Re:If it bricks, it's their fault. on Should I Take Toyota's Software Update? · · Score: 1

    Dude, be a REAL software engineer and hack in your own firmware!!

  23. Re:Finally on Ubisoft's Constant Net Connection DRM Confirmed · · Score: 1

    Seems to me a DDOS against their activation servers or DNS would make for a lot of unhappy gamers.

  24. Might be a good replacement for my doublewide... on Lacking Buyers, NASA Cuts Prices On Shuttles and Old Engines · · Score: 1

    Hopefully it has a working bathroom...

  25. Re:Amazon should love this precedent on US DOJ Says Kindle In Classroom Hurts Blind Students · · Score: 1

    I think you mean "add back in the text-to-speech feature". It was deactivated on the Kindle after publishers got all bent out of shape.
