  1. Re:No Camera... on A Truly Open Linux Phone · · Score: 1

    According to this the phone will accept MicroSD cards, also lets not forget it has bluetooth, so you could use a bluetooth stereo headset if you're so inclined. I'm tempted by the GPS myself.

  2. Re:Decoy Files on P2P Sites Become Income on Decoy Files on P2P Sites Become Ad Vehicles · · Score: 2, Funny

    I'm all for these people replacing MP3 files of Jay-Z's music with other adverts, I believe that would do the world a service and be a step towards eliminating his music completely.
    But for them to be replacing good music with videos of Jay-Z, tsk, a pox on them I say.
    I guess it's all a moot topic though if you use emule, whenever I try and grab "XXX Hot horny Jenna Brianna Crystal Bukkake Cum Lesbo Splat Fest" it rarely is what I think it is (normally an iso of windows, damn and blast).

  3. Re:Yes, but... on World's Smallest Robotic Hand · · Score: 1

    can it play the world's smallest violin?
    I bet it can, when coupled with Jeremy Beadles other hand.

  4. Re:Radio-Cochlear Overlords on Radioactive Snails Crawl Up From Beneath · · Score: 5, Funny

    Lets hope noone gets bitten by one of these suckers, then we'll have to put up with "Snailman" who can do anything that a snail can.
    Cue very slow W 0 0 T.

  5. Re:Creative: prepare to pay the lawyers on New Copy Protection to Make Playing DVDs on a PC Difficult · · Score: 1

    Maybe you could spend your spare time working in a part time job, not looking for class action suits to participate in?
    I'm sure this would prove much more fruitful and give you a few more cheques you can cash.

  6. Re:DVD Jon on New Copy Protection to Make Playing DVDs on a PC Difficult · · Score: 1

    "I'm DVD Jon."
    "Look, I'm DVD Jon."
    "I'm DVD Jon."
    "I'm DVD Jon, and so's my wife."

  7. Re:Power usage? on Folding@Home Releases GPU Client · · Score: 2, Informative

    If you have a look around, the X1900XT actually uses about 110 watts peak, for most board suppliers. The X1900XTX only uses about 120 watts.
    There's a few places that confirm this, here they show just the VGA card usage, here they show the total system power usage.

  8. Re:A solvable problem? on Chinese Lasers Blind US Satelites · · Score: 1

    Jack Bauer wouldn't stand for this shit.

  10. Think of the possibilities on George the Next Generation AI? · · Score: 2, Funny

    As soon as this is integrated into a real doll, I'll never need a woman again!

  11. Re:Bah on 10 Terrible Portrayals of Technology in Film · · Score: 1

    I hope you don't get excited by them. And now I've got a terrible vision in my head of someone screaming "Oh yeah Baby! You dirty, dirty dmesg | tail. Let me mount you like an NTFS. Grunt."

  12. Re:recursion on Spaceballs Animated Series in Production · · Score: 1

    I'm hoping it goes the other way and they pull in Genndy Tartakovsky to do the animation as in "Clone Wars".

  13. Re:Ill informed post on Gentoo Announces 'Seeds' · · Score: 1

    I was under the impression that stage 1 installations are now redundant, you may as well just start form a stage 2 as the updates done afterwards negate anything done in a stage 1 install.

  14. Re:But, the software tool,... on Toshiba to Exchange 340,000 Laptop Batteries · · Score: 2, Informative

    Nope, the software tool only runs on windows. Which would make sense, as all the machines affected are supplied with windows. You can always just check the PN on the battery: PA3465U-1BAS PA3399U-2BAS PA3400U-1BAS PA3465U-1BRS PA3399U-2BRS PA3400U-1BRS All affected batteries.

  15. If you couple it with this one... on Giant 'Leap' for Robotics · · Score: 5, Funny

    Bionic Arm + Bionic Leg = 1 step closer to becoming 6 Million Dollar Man

  16. Re:What? No Freebird? on The Top 5 Games of All Time · · Score: 1

    You think that's bad, there's no Big Rigs or Charlie's Angels. Heresy I tells ya.

  17. If only. on Space Shuttle Atlantis Delayed Again · · Score: 4, Funny

    I bet they wished they bought Duracell now.

  18. Re:Why an Xbox? on Xbox for Stroke Rehabilitation · · Score: 1

    I can see the benefit of using an Xbox rather than an old PC. This way, Microsoft can attempt to patent it with a very tenuous link to their production of the Xbox, since it's just a more advanced method of their first hand exercise "CTRL ALT DEL".



    (Yes I do realise that MS didn't create it, but then they never invented Conjugated Verbs either....)

  19. Re:Theres just one.. on Firefly Marathon on SciFi, September 18th · · Score: 1
    "an entire season of Firefly" - Not to say THE entire season! ;-/
    I was under the impression it didn't get a full season shown, they stopped filming half way through and even then didn't originally show all the episodes.
  20. Re:Just what we need on Microsoft Research Builds 'BrowserShield' · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I bet it's going to do nothing for the latency of loading web pages either.

  21. Re:sigh on Vista Startup Sound to be Mandatory? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Just you wait until they lock the desktop background to a picture of Bill Gates with a cheesy smile and two thumbs up.
    The imagine how glorious it'll look on your 30" multi Monitor setup. *sigh*

  22. Re:Overblown Drama on My Maxtor Hard Drive Just Caught Fire! · · Score: 1

    Now imagine the fun and joviality you could give if you tool a failing laptop onto a plane. It's a better premise than fucking Snakes.

  23. Re:Hmmm on New Web Browser Leaves No Footprints · · Score: 2, Funny

    Or the My Web Search toolbar. I bet the adverts'll load reeeaalllly fast on this browser.

  24. Re:Best idea I've heard all decade on New Web Browser Leaves No Footprints · · Score: 2, Informative

    Or they find out about when the unproven software ends up giving someone full access due to a dodgy exploit.
    I suppose only the same will happen with other browsers though.

  25. Re:British Porn Cannot Compare to myRedbook in USA on Possession of Violent Pornography Outlawed in UK · · Score: 1

    In London, we call those "Phoneboxes". You can get any perversion you want from the adverts in those.
