  1. "I'm a Mac... on Intel Says Brain Implants Could Control Computers By 2020 · · Score: 2, Funny

    And I have computers that control brain implants." "I'm a PC, and I have brain implants that control a computer." Mac: "Good Luck with that."

  2. Re:Well. on Artists Strive To Wrest Rights From Music Industry · · Score: 2, Informative

    Sorry, I clicked on Redundant by accident. I'm a bad mod. This post is to fix.

  3. Virtual Dancer on Using Computers for Sophisticated Music Analysis · · Score: 1

    I had a Virtua "dancer" on my desktop back in '98, but all she did was give my computer a virus.

  4. Re:Can you bypass using WGA at all? on Black Screens For Unauthorized Copies of Windows · · Score: 1

    easy. Using Firefox go to http://windizupdate.com/ . No IE, no WGA, no bad updates. It's the only way to update.

  5. Re:Just one question? on Cost-Effective Server Room Air Conditioning? · · Score: 1

    You don't even have to wait for it to fail. Telling the boss that they are in the process of failing and handing him a printout of what it costs to replace stuff, and then say "it's ok, but we're gonna need to spend a little money on A/C or that will happen." You'd be amazed at how fast wheels get greased.

  6. Re:I'll admit, I'm a bit confused on Newegg Defies New York Sales Tax Law · · Score: 1

    I think the key there is to drink the beer in Illinois, go back to Indiana and go to the state tax offices, and then it's up to you as how to present the beer for taxation. IANAAccountant, so this isn't professional advice. :)

  7. Re:A Successful Test! on NASA's Orion Mock-Up Fails Parachute Test · · Score: 1

    Well, I'm never eating at Taco Bell again after reading that. I hope you're happy...

  8. Re:Ovaltine and airplane peanuts on Jerry Seinfeld Will Plug Vista · · Score: 1

    "What's the deal with the UAC? I mean it's always Cancel or Allow? Cancel or Allow? I don't know what to do! You're the computer, you tell me! I tried to cancel a credit card the other day. When I logged on, it asked Cancel or Allow? I need more information! Are you asking to allow the canceling? What if I cancel the cancel? Will the world end?"

  9. Re:So what, liberal media is still dying. on Measuring the "Colbert Bump" · · Score: 1

    Umm, NPR is not a liberal station, if that is what you're implying. Just because they use facts once in a while, does not mean they have a liberal bias. Also, the Wall Street Journal is a bit different than TWP and NYT, they're different services altogether. I think I see what you're getting at, I'm just not sure how.

  10. Re:Mickey Mouse on O'Reilly On How Copyright Got To Its Current State · · Score: 1

    "Earthman, your Mickey Mouse is one big stupid dope!" - Jerry

  11. Re:Cheesy Joke Thread, and life on Saturn on Liquid Lakes On Saturn's Moon Confirmed · · Score: 1, Redundant

    Professor: "I'm sorry, Fry, but astronomers renamed Uranus in 2620 to end that stupid joke once and for all." Fry: "Oh. What's it called now?" Professor: "Urectum. Here, let me locate it for you."

  12. Re:But it's not that much cheaper ... on $250 Freescale-Based "Green" "Cloud" Computer · · Score: 2, Funny

    Wait a minute. Isn't "a nice size" a polite way of saying it's too small?

  13. Re:This only punishes the foolish on Gmail Reveals the Names of All Users · · Score: 1

    This is just not true. I own last@gmail.com and I don't get a bunch of worthless ema....shit!

  14. Re:Torrent on What Does It Take To Get a PC With XP? · · Score: 1

    Windiz Updates work nicely, and in Firefox. http://windizupdate.com/ Not an invested party, but it is damn nice.

  15. Re:Quick!! on NASA Contractor Needs Urine · · Score: 1

    Sorry old man, didn't realize I was on your lawn.

  16. Quick!! on NASA Contractor Needs Urine · · Score: 1

    Someone call R Kelly!

  17. Re:Gesture based and Face navigation.. Sweet! on Toshiba Launches First Cell-based Laptop · · Score: 3, Funny

    I think giving it the finger will boot Windows, and rolling your eyes will start Firefox and head to YouTube. Sneezing of course, will run an anti-virus scan.

  18. Re:Bye Bye Sony on Final Fantasy XIII Is Coming To Xbox 360 · · Score: 1

    What makes you think an HD movie will require a 25-50GB download? I would not want someone streaming a full uncompressed HD movie to me. And if you think the broadband penetration is bad, check out the number of people without HD TVs. Without which your numbers mean very little.

  19. Re:Well there goes the history of decent quality.. on Final Fantasy XIII Is Coming To Xbox 360 · · Score: 1

    With the flute thing, I question that you beat SMB 1 let alone played it. Can you show me some proof of said accomplishment?

  20. Re:cnn on Senate Passes Telecom Immunity Bill · · Score: 1

    Funny timing for a breakthrough in the JonBenet Ramsey story. I bet though, that the press will give more airtime to the passing of...hey! They found the killer!

  21. Mother on Senate Passes Telecom Immunity Bill · · Score: 1

    Fu%ker!!!! There. Now what do we do about it? What measures can be taken to have this changed?

  22. Brainz on Ask Aubrey de Grey About Longevity Research · · Score: 1

    The average life expectancy (world) just got above 50 years old about 200 years ago. Are there any indications that our brain would be capable of keeping track of 1000 years of memories without modifications? Would it require Borg implants? I'm sure people asked the same thing with medical breakthroughs in the 1800s-1900s that caused the jump in life expectancy back then. Only they probably liked Kirk more.

  23. Re:Obvious use on Lost the Remote? Use Your Face · · Score: 1

    More than likely you'd sneeze causing the volume to max out just as someone arrives at the door. Now THAT's technology at work!

  24. Just when it was down to 2... on Twitter As a Campaigning Tool · · Score: 2, Funny

    Now we have one more campaigning tool in the race.

  25. Re:Shouldn't have publicized it on their blog on MediaDefender's BitTorrent-Based DOS Takes Down Revision3 · · Score: 1

    Umm, Media Defender admitted to illegal activity against Rev3. This is a cyber attack against a legit corporation, not a random sweep of lawsuits against grandmothers. You're comparing apples to guano I think.
