  1. Re:Catholics and condoms on Vatican Says Alien Life Plausible · · Score: 1

    Next week they'll be approving a new brand of condoms. They're open at both ends ... And they're soaked in holy water, so the infant is instantly baptized at conception. A lot of R&D went into this, I am told.

  3. Re:Why is this tagged richbastard? on The Home Library Problem Solved · · Score: 1

    Last I checked, an awful lot of geeks had a particular hobby they enjoyed and spent money on, and they don't have to be 'rich bastards' to do so. yeah, leave the poor man alone.

    Now does anyone have any advice on how I should organise my collection of sixty-nine Fabergé Imperial Easter eggs?

  5. Re:I've said it before and I'll say it again on WGA Meltdown Blamed On Human Error · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Microsoft has its monopoly on the desktop market because DOS and Windows have been pirated like crazy in the past. I remember when the little local computershops would throw in a little box with freshly copied diskettes with the expensive beige 386 you just bought. It seems stupid to start cracking down on piracy just when free OS'es are starting to become an attractive alternative and the fruit-logo competitor is offering a relatively cheap shiny system with more bling.

    The effect would be similar to what my girlfriend calls 'bad hair day', especially if it happens during the weekend.

    I RTFA again and I guess the fans that pull the waste into the commode run throughout the process (not just when you flush... like in an airplane).
    What happens when the shit hits the fan?

    So, I wonder what they'll do if you drive an all electric vehicle. It doesn't use fuel. If it doesn't use fuel, it runs on magic.
  14. Re:Linux made my daughter cry on After Ubuntu, Windows Looks Increasingly Bad · · Score: 1

    She has good instincts because there is virtually no kids software for linux That's right, no animated paperclip on Linux. You have to have MS Office installed for that.

    How would it replicate? One iPod 'squirting' it at another iPod? That sounds more like a Zune-disease... Still, I keep my iPod in its woolly iSock, so it won't catch a cold.
