    Look at it this way: be grateful that at least (for the time being) GoBots is safe... uh... yeah.

  2. Re:"What will this mean for US foreign policy" on China Tests Anti-Satellite Laser Weapon · · Score: 1
    America has a bad opinion of the China regardless...
    I wonder where we got that idea?

    Well, I guess by then dog truly will be my co-pilot...

    At my signal, these containers will be opened via remote control, releasing the toads to wreak havok upon your fragile environments

    You forgot:

    ...these containers (delivered by my fleet of oceananic cargo-liners) will open via a heavy-water-based, mechanical-clockwork remote control. From here, my project: "Toad the Wet Sprocket" will release the toads to wreak havok upon your fragile environments...
  6. ...better than one... on 3D Human Cells Grown · · Score: 1

    I, for one, welcome our two-headed overlords.

  7. Re:I had no idea what carrier grade means on DIY Carrier Grade Linux with Debian · · Score: 1

    Heh, how about that - I always thought 'carrier' grade refered to RFC 1149

  8. Wake me up when software supports 64-bit on Core Duo Reaches the Desktop · · Score: 1

    When OTS software supports 64-bit processors, they'll be worth a look. Until then who cares? --see I can play too...

  9. I can see the legislative arguments now... on Louisiana Passes Violent Games Bill · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Video games = Bad! Cockfighting = Good!

  10. Re:The Emperor Has No Clothes On on Samsung Working On Fuel-Cell Powered Cell Phones · · Score: 2, Informative
    People might just do that if the fuel cells have a lifespan of a year.
    ...of course, maybe they're not telling people how long the cells last because they suck. (the cells, not the people)
    Agreed - if the capacity of mobile fuel cells is anything like their larger cousin - they probably do suck...
  11. Re:Darwin Streaming Server on Stream MythTV to Your Cell Phone · · Score: 1
    and I aint heard of the "microsoft fox server" either
    Wha? You haven't heard of Foxpro? I mean, not that its been around since '84 and all... shame-shame... someone should revoke your geek status card.
  12. Re:Nope. No MTV. on Microsoft to Become Mobile DRM Standard? · · Score: 1

    It isn't so much MTV as it is its communication powerhouse parent Viacom... Big V + M$ = Oh noes! Look out Apple!

    A search for common sense results in the top city being Washington!? Yeah... sure...

  14. Re:Yawn... on SQL Cookbook · · Score: 1
    ...hence the quotes around "Northwind", tiger. suggsjc got my drift - perhaps this quote from the review will illustrate my point better.
    Many of the recipes are obviously oriented towards corporate reporting. If this is a big need for you, then this book goes along way to meeting your needs. If you have no need for corporate reporting, it's wasted paper.
    ...which summarily explains my frustration with many of the modern 'IT' publishers. Advertising a book as containing 'answers to real world problems' is misleading, at best. Many real-world problems of SQL programming exist outside the range of corporate hierarchy representations or say: order/invoice relationships.
  15. Yawn... on SQL Cookbook · · Score: 1

    Great - yet another book that teaches me the "ins-and-outs" of the "Northwind" database. Seriously, when are publishers and authors going to come out with more original content? For instance - content for those of us that AREN'T designing HR or order entry apps?

    Ah well, it could be worse - it could be teaching me how to build another class registration system....

  16. Gotta love the stats.... on 40% of Adults Play Games · · Score: 1

    ...I smell a lawsuit coming...

  18. Re:Earn Points...Claim Valuable Prizes on Vendor Pays OSS Developers for Enterprise Support · · Score: 1
    You will receive 10 Bazooka Joe comics for each Apache installation, and 5 Chuck E. Cheese tickets per debugged line of code.
    Personally, I'm hoping they'll pay in Linden dollars.
