  1. Re:We need more project sluts on Tim Lister on Project Sluts and Strawmen · · Score: 1

    Does Photoshop count?

  2. Re:Name change for Postini on Google to Acquire Postini · · Score: 1

    Anybody wanna Poogle?

    Maybe when I'm done with my Wii.

  3. Re:Low wage alternatives on Have Spammers Overcome the CAPTCHA? · · Score: 1

    So, for instance, if you are running a Star Trek fansite, you could have something along the lines of "click on William Shatner to continue" and have a few pictures.

    It would be really hard to click on him though, he'd keep moving around...

  4. Re:Uh, spoil much? on Captain America Buried in Arlington National Cemetary · · Score: 3, Funny

    Prime dying in a Transformers movie isn't a spoiler.

    Maybe not, but you have just brought on a relapse of Post Traumatic Stress for thousands of us who were kids in the mid-80s... ;)

  5. Re:£50 bounty, for a duck? on Thousands of Rubber Ducks to Finally End Journey · · Score: 5, Funny

    Collect them all, and win a PlayStation 3!

  6. Re:"DRM" tag...? on Nerdy Photo in Vista DVDs Thwarts Disk Pirates · · Score: 2, Funny

    Actually, the tag is correct - In this case, DRM stands for 'Dudes, Really Miniature'.

  7. Expect this lawsuit to be withdrawn shortly... on Electronic Frontier Foundation Sues Uri Geller · · Score: 2, Funny

    "I'm not the psychic you're looking for..."

  8. Fury sex? on Social Computing and Badger's Paws · · Score: 1

    Fury sex?

    Now that sounds like an anger management technique I can ascribe to...

  9. Re:The process mimics... on IBM's Snowflake Microchips · · Score: 2, Funny

    Nope, it means you create a Beowulf cluster of them, and then throw them at somebody's head while they aren't looking.

  10. Re:Raise the dead on The Unauthorized State-Owned Chinese Disneyland · · Score: 1

    Or just wait for China to copy him...

  11. Re:Homeless? on Internet2 Taken Out by Stray Cigarette · · Score: 5, Funny

    Or, more likely, the RIAA and/or MPAA. ;)

  12. Re:Let's go! on Earthlike Planet Orbiting Nearby Star · · Score: 1

    Bah, just tell the RIAA the planet is rife with piracy and we'll be there by lunchtime.

  13. Re:If you want data, be responsible OR ELSE on Personal Data Exposed! Can Legislation Fix It? · · Score: 1

    Although that sounds great in a sense, the problems there are two-fold:

    1. A lot of companies will simply want to stop holding your data, even when it may benefit you.

    2. (And perhaps more importantly) Companies will simply keep quiet or attempt to cover-up the situation if data is lost, leaked or stolen, making the entire problem far greater for those whose data is affected.

    While we certainly need to reach a point where punishments are meted out for losing or abusing data, there's a fine line that has to be drawn between acceptable punishments and overly draconian ones which will actually make things worse when issues do occur (which they are bound to, regardless of what regulations are put in place).

  14. Re:Alarmism on Is Your GPS Naive? · · Score: 1

    Great - Tell everybody about my plan, why don't you...

  15. The Maginot Line, take two? on Protected Memory Stick Easily Cracked · · Score: 1

    "the result is revolutionary, ultra safe and approved by the French intelligence service"

    Well, this is coming from the country whose idea of unbreakable security was the Maginot Line...

  16. Re:video playback from a flash-based unit on Details of Next Gen Zune Surface · · Score: 1

    That would be SanDisk, not Samsung. ;)

  17. Re:I think I know... on Despite Aging Design, x86 Still in Charge · · Score: 1

    That's because he's removed all of the useless, unnecessary legacy parts from his body, giving himself 60% more space! *

    * On a completely unrelated note, he died shortly after giving that quote.

  18. Re:Bought HP/Vista Downgraded back to XP Pro on MS Says Vista Selling At Twice XP's Pace · · Score: 1

    OpenGL is supported in Windows Vista in exactly the same way as it is in Windows XP - With basic support within the OS, and a full ICD made available via the graphics board manufacturers drivers. Nothing has changed here, despite many incorrect reports to the contrary.

  19. Re:I'll get back to you on that... on NASA Confirms Solar Storm Near 2012 · · Score: 1

    No doubt this story will be re-posted on the front page in 2013... ;)

  20. Re:WTF??? on The Future of Creative and the Sound Card Market · · Score: 1

    Most modern motherboards have 'HD' (aka 24-bit, 96KHz) on-board audio. Not comparable to a discrete sound board in overall audio quality or processing, of course, but very much competitive with regard to their base specification on that front.

  21. Re:Onboard audio processors ??! on The Future of Creative and the Sound Card Market · · Score: 1

    apparently article poster didnt try out new X-Fi series from creative.

    Actually, I have an X-Fi in my main system right now. ;) Nowhere in the article did I say that onboard solutions are on a par with the latest discrete sound boards, merely that their feature set and abilities have improved to the point where many are perfectly happy to stick with them over buying a dedicated part to handle audio.

  22. When I read the headline... on Museum IDs New Species of Dinosaur · · Score: 4, Funny

    ...it translated in my head as "Museum Intelligently Designs New Species of Dinosaur".

    I've obviously been getting involved in too many evolution-related debates.

  23. I can see the headlines now... on iPods to be Used as Flight Data Recorders · · Score: 5, Funny

    "Despite recovering the flight data recorder from the wreckage, the caush of the crash is yet to be established. It has been confirmed however that the pilot was a big Pink Floyd fan"

  24. Re:Annoying on Bird Flu Pandemic Could Choke the Net · · Score: 1

    The problem is I think, people (and by that I mean non-technical people) think of internet traffic as cars on a street. When there are too many cars there is a traffic jam.

    You'd think they'd have realised by now that the Internet is actually a series of tubes...

  25. Re:I, Robot on Parking Attendant 2.0 · · Score: 5, Funny

    I'm looking forward to Parting Attendant 3.0.

    A hairdressing robot?
