  1. Re:Why? on Interstellar Ark · · Score: 1

    You don't learn much by sitting in a cave I'm conducting an important philosophical experiment, you insensitive clod!
  2. Re:Does this mean... on Adult Brains Grow From Specialist Use · · Score: 1
    I'm confused. In you question, do you compare programmers to actual people who have a life, or the logicality of programmers to their people-ness?


    Oh wait, now I'm confused by my question.

  3. Rule of thumb on Life Without Traffic Signs · · Score: 1

    Some day, we'll see a traffic school where the first (and only) thing they teach you is: 1) Limited visibility is a problem if, and ONLY if, the obstacles you hit are prone to slowing you down :)

  4. Re:No suprise on How Many Windows? · · Score: 1
    right now, I only have ~2 windows open

    Ah, the uncertainty principle...

  5. Re:Finland's good. on If Not America, Then Where? · · Score: 1

    As a Finn I agree with the OP (Original Python), except for the lofty mountains part ;)

  6. Re:A major threat? on YouTube No Friend of Copyright Violators · · Score: 1

    Doing this will, of course, eat up all your CPU cycles too.

  7. Re:SGI appears to be out of the graphics business on SGI Arises From the Ashes · · Score: 1

    F*ck. Once again, I have outdone myself... This time in the land of abbreviations.

  8. Re:SGI appears to be out of the graphics business on SGI Arises From the Ashes · · Score: 2, Funny

    Yep, it is Silicon Graphics after all... Unless they only use "SGI" now and smugly change the words it was abbreviated from to "Superb Velocity Industries" or something :P

  9. Re:The problem with this is on Human Species May Split In Two · · Score: 1
    Nothing is more attractive to somebody who wants to be needed than somebody who has failed at the ultimate failure.
    I don't know if that was a quote or one of your own, but if I had mod points I'd mod ya up.

    And yes, I'm one of the people who have an extreme need to be needed.

  10. Re:You did not see that game... on Judge Clears Bully For Publishing · · Score: 1
    it's like implying that one can't figure out what's going on on the screen because it's anime.

    I'll be damned if I can figure out what all the long-winded philosophical discussions have to do with those huge robot battles and all the outbursts of high-pitched screaming :P

  11. Re:Sounds Like... on Web Censorship on the University Campus? · · Score: 1

    I, for one, know quite a lot of "anatomy" sites which will keep your tubes busy.

  12. Re:DRM=Digital Rights Manipulation on The Day Against DRM · · Score: 1
    Please don't take this as flamebait, but I watched the trailer and
    • they were all men, which gave the show an "only techies would care" atmosphere
    • the first time RMS popped up, I thought "OMFG, I'm watching hippie propaganda"
    • A normal consumer will not want to open, much less reprogram their Xbox. I hope they give a good reason why one would want to do that.
  13. Re:My Internal Struggle on Vista Shell Team now Blogging · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    On a slightly related note, I reckon that being a dick is the way to go when being accompanied by pussies. Not that I would know, of course. I suck at human relationships on more literal, non-literal and numerous levels than you can possibly imagine.

  14. Re:Would you go? on X-Prize Funder Will Be First Female Tourist In Space · · Score: 1
    (Not to mention the italian restaurant module)
    Ahh yes, the bistromatic drive. I hear they're a little behind schedule in that area, but rest assured that your orders will be in shortly.
  15. Re:Why the name... on GO3 Electronic Entertainment Expo To Replace E3? · · Score: 1

    Because they wanted something that sounds like "goat tree"?
    No?
    Well NOW I'm stumped.

  16. Essential and timeless questions on Domesday Book Goes Online · · Score: 1

    The questions asked can be summarised as follows:

    1. What is the manorglossary icon called?
    2. Who held it in the time of King Edward?
    3. Who holds it now?
    4. How many hides are there?
    5. How many ploughglossary icons on the demesneglossary icon and among the men?
    6. How many free men, sokemenglossary icon, villans, cottarsglossary icon, slavesglossary icon?

    11. Are you, or is a person you are closely acquainted with, a witch?
    12. What is the airspeed of an unladen swallow?

  17. Re:Novel Idea? on Ancient Fossilized Bone Marrow Found · · Score: 1

    Sorry, but your idea sucks. I don't think anyone of us would go see it in a movie theatre, even if you threw in some desperate reference about chicks and UNIX.

  18. Yes, but only for a while... on When Will Games Disturb Us? · · Score: 1

    Doom 3 was kinda uncomfortable for the first 5 minutes or so, but then became just plain predictable and boring. The games that have disturbed me most are System Shock 2 and - somewhat surprisingly - Sentinel Returns.

  19. Re:2 FPS? on Quake is 10 · · Score: 1

    A fast Tseng videocard and some L2 cache made it quite playable on my 486 DX2/66.

  20. Re:Dubious Spelling and Grammar on Scientists Find Missing Link in Bird Evolution · · Score: 1

    My first thought concerning "dubious dating techniques" involves a use of chloroform, but I'm sure manicky preaching about extinct species in a chicken-or-egg context could be just as intimidating.

  21. Re:OT but.. on Microsoft Stops Supporting Win98 Early · · Score: 1
    > That still makes below 1GB. What the hell they filled the rest with, no clue.


    DRM?

  22. Re:Food AND an education! on Working Model of MIT $100 Laptop a Hit · · Score: 1

    Yep, kids need shelter... Not to protect them from the elements, but to see those pesky LCD screens :P

  23. Re:Mbytes? on Seagate Announces First Hybrid Hard Drive · · Score: 5, Funny
    > Are those 6 minute MegaAbs?

    No, not six minutes, SEVEN! No one could get a good workout in just six minutes, duh!

    Hmm... MegaBS = 1000^2 people bullshitted? Could come in handy with all these RIAA topics.

  24. Re:caveman impulses on Techie Fight Clubs Springing Up · · Score: 1

    Or perhaps the reason for not partaking in sports was low self esteem, fear or inferior physique, so to defend my ego my brain explained it away by creating an illusion of "being better than them"? Remember, I don't say that this is true for us all, just hinting that the true motives for our deeds might not always be as we'd like to remember them...

  25. Re:That sure sounds nice, but... on Merrill Lynch Predicts $200 Wii · · Score: 1

    I agree, but I don't think three years equated "a generation or two" in the early 1980's ;)
