  1. I for one blah blah on Giant Penguins Once Roamed Peru · · Score: 5, Funny

    I, welcome, overlords, etc.

    Now that that's out of the way, we can actually have a serious discussion about this

    (just kidding)

  2. Quantum gates? on First Quantum Computing Gate on a Chip · · Score: 5, Funny

    They're opening the quantum gates now? They're insane! Who knows what might pour out of them... I hope they're at least doing it on the moon.

    The future of the human race is up to one lone marine now. Thanks a lot, scientists.

  3. Perhaps it's because I'm a youngin... on How Long Could You Live Without Your Gadgets? · · Score: 1

    but I can do it rather easily. I've been grounded a number of times for multiple reasons... it's not as hard as it sounds.

  4. That's pretty cool, but on The Ultimate Reset Button · · Score: 2, Funny

    I think I'd call THIS the ultimate reset button.

  5. Re:The REAL application is high-density memory. on Nanoglue Could Be Used To Make Spiderman Web-Shooters · · Score: 1

    Energy-efficient computers? Psh, I'm waiting for the iPod Nano 80GB!

  6. Re:Piracy on Dell PCs with Ubuntu Are A Little Less Expensive · · Score: 1, Informative

    Search any torrent site. I bet you will be able to find a copy of Windows XP that has updates to May 2007, passes WGA, AND doesn't even require a key. I've seen them, and in the past, used them.

  7. PIME TARADOX on 2008 - The Year Internet TV Became Mainstream? · · Score: 2, Funny

    OH GOD IT'S A TIME PARADOX

    2008 - The Year Internet TV Became Mainstream?

  8. Re:Hm, I've got a pretty good idea... on Who Isn't Afraid of Google? · · Score: 1

    Haha, the sad part is that few of the members are really fans of Dream Theater anymore.

  9. Hm, I've got a pretty good idea... on Who Isn't Afraid of Google? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    How about... anybody who isn't a company/corporation?

  10. Re:/b/tards on Culture Determines Which Emoticon You Use · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Rules 1 and 2, asshat. :P

  11. Re:Go on OLPC Project Rollout Begins In Uruguay · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Thank you captain obvious. Your post was either ridiculously insightful, or ridiculously useless.

  12. Maybe I'm missing something here... on VMWare Rolls Out Vista Virtualization · · Score: 2, Interesting

    ...but didn't Vista's TOS specifically ban using Vista under a virtual machine?

  13. Re:I know this probably sounds like a troll... on NIN Releases Garageband Sources For 3 New Tracks · · Score: 1

    So get a manager. A manager would need a lot less of the money, and yet he would be paid to deal with this kind of thing. A far better idea than paying 80%+ to a record company. At that point, you really DON'T need to play in the Continental Arena to get a good chunk of cash.

  14. Re:9 gigabits?! on Researchers Break Internet Speed Records · · Score: 1

    No, it's, it's a series of tubes.

  15. Re:Why bother getting into CS on Tech Sector Expansion Blunting U.S. Job Outsourcing · · Score: 3, Informative

    Because some people enjoy it?

    I don't know about you, but I could never see myself as a plumber or car mechanic or house painter. They're probably far easier than computer science could ever be, but I don't think I could find a fulfilling life in it.

    Why are people teachers when there's not a lot of money in it? Scientists? Come on.

  16. Re:Oh no! on A Step Towards an Invisibility Cloak · · Score: 1

    Right.

    Third mission? Aww, that sucks. Amazing game.

  17. Oh no! on A Step Towards an Invisibility Cloak · · Score: 2, Funny

    It's Denton. Remember the briefing.

    Don't mod me down just because you don't get it. ;)

  18. My turn yet? on Star Trek "DeMastered" Video Service to Launch · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Is it my turn to be modded insightful for no reason?

  19. I, for one... on World's First Polymorphic Computer · · Score: 1

    I, for one, welcome our MONARCH overlords.

    Wait...

  20. Re:Wow. on John W. Backus Dies at 82; Developed FORTRAN · · Score: -1, Troll

    I may be a jerk, but at least I didn't invent FORTRAN.

    ...

    Okay, okay, I'll leave now. :D

  21. Wow. on John W. Backus Dies at 82; Developed FORTRAN · · Score: 2, Funny
    FTA:

    His daughter Karen Backus announced the death, saying the family did not know the cause, other than age.

    Psh, he developed FORTRAN. I'm surprised he even lived to 82 without being killed by a rabid programmer. ;)
  22. Re:Gnome 2.18 with performance improvements! on Gnome 2.18 Released · · Score: 4, Funny

    Hah, first post. Bet you wish you were using KDE now, don't you. ;)

  23. Printer-friendly version on Intel Viiv vs. AMD LIVE! · · Score: 1
  24. Re:I've always assumed et-cetera on Define - /etc? · · Score: 5, Funny

    /bin for top-level binaries

    Wait wait wait... I always thought /bin was the recycling bin.

    ...

    Shit.
  25. Re:Why SUSE? on Dell To Linux Users — Not So Fast · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Why SUSE? Two answers, both simple.

    One, they are partnered with Microsoft, so they won't lose the deals they get from MS for their Windows-based systems, which will undoubtedly outsell their Linux-based systems, at the very least for a long time.

    Two, SUSE is one of the few distros that has paid support. Unfortunately, as hard as it may seem to believe, people actually tend to PREFER paid support. Mostly because it means end-users can have people kissing their ass as they try to find the any key. Also, I'm sure it's easier for Dell to figure out who's full of it when they get applicants for Linux support because "experience in Ubuntu" doesn't mean quite as much as "worked at Novell".

    Disclaimer: I'm both a Windows (2000 and XP) and Kubuntu user, but most certainly not a Dell user.
