    Uh.. Yeah. And this: http://www.mwscomp.com/movies/grail/grail-23.htm

    BRIDGEKEEPER:
    What... is the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow?

    ARTHUR:
    What do you mean? An African or European swallow?

    BRIDGEKEEPER:
    Huh? I-- I don't know that. Auuuuuuuugh!

  3. Re:As long as the result isn't Knome... on KDE & Gnome Usability Engineers Interviewed · · Score: 1

    I hope KDE drops that whole K-naming gimmick. Although I love KDE, and I use it every day, it's the one thing that I find downright irritating.

    You mean kirritating , of course. :)

  4. Re:hyperlinks -- Opera rocks on Interview with EFF's Fred Von Lohmann · · Score: 2

    in Opera you can mark the text, right click for the menu, and then click "search" and you are sent to google. :)

    what? what are you talking about? did I miss anything?

  6. Re:Just think if SLASHDOT had written LOTR... on Lord of the Rings, as Written By Everyone Else · · Score: 1, Redundant

    * Someone would have looked at the Ring and attempted to imagine a Beowulf cluster of Rings.

  7. Re:Cy Guy's Law on Moore's Law Disputed · · Score: 3, Funny

    you should probably add something about the story on slashdot being posted multiple times.

  8. Re:Kudos to these folks on Dashboard Linux - 1 Year Later · · Score: 3, Funny

    As for watching DVDs while you drive... Well... that problem might just take care of itself (hopefully with minimal collateral damage).

    Yeah.. that movie sucked.

  9. Re:And this is why they will die... on Why The Dinosaurs Won't Die · · Score: 2

    my thoughts exactly.. time to learn COBOL, then. :)

  10. Re:Waynes World on Fact and Fiction Behind Bond's Gadgets · · Score: 2

    I was about to suggest it. IMHO better product placement than Waynes World. :)

  11. Re:Norway on U.S. Ranks 17th in Freedom of the Press · · Score: 2

    yes I have. but perhaps I've been lucky. they actually had quite a bit of interesting information in them.

  12. Norway on U.S. Ranks 17th in Freedom of the Press · · Score: 2

    Norway may have free press, but it must have the most crappy and populistic jounalists in the world. All major newspapers contain loads of meaningless information about celebrities, and tons of factual errors.

    Almost everyone I know are sick and tired of their bullshit.

  13. Re:Now Just Wait a Second on Exchange Email Addresses With A Handshake · · Score: 2

    greasing my palms with conducting paste sounds like fun :)

    [a chainsaw noise is heard]
    Bart: Hey! I found a shortcut through your hedge maze.
    Willy: Why you little --
    [thinking] No, no, go easy on the wee one. His father's going
    to go crazy and chop 'em all into haggis!
    Bart: What's haggis?
    Willy: [gasps] Boy...you read my thoughts! You've got the Shinning.
    Bart: You mean "Shining".
    Willy: [sotto voce] Shh! You want to get sued?
    Now look, boy: if your Dad goes gaga, you just use that...Shin of
    yours to call me and I'll come a running. But don't be reading
    my mind between four and five. That's Willy's time!

  15. Re:Enter from the outside... on Egyptian Pyramid Rover Finds... Another Door · · Score: 2

    I was just beeing sarcastic :)

    Anyway.. I've never actually been to the pyramids myself, but I've heard that they are fscked up on the outside because tourists all take home a piece of it. If you look at pictures of them, it looks as if a giant bird has been nibbling away at them. They look better as you get to the top, probably because the lazy tourists don't wanna go all the way to the top.

  16. Re:Who's side? on Directors Counter-Sue Movie Bowdlerizing Company · · Score: 2

    Or would that be too much work for parents?

    yes

    Install Opera.

  20. ahem.. on OEone HomeBase Desktop · · Score: 2

    I'd just like to emphasize that it apparently is an operating _environment_, not operating _system_. I guess there's a difference somewhere.. Also; they're pitching it at ugly people. Or so it appears.. They have a bunch of them on their webpage.

  21. Re:Mandrake Demos at LinuxWorld... on Preparation for LinuxWorld Heats Up · · Score: 2

    The combination IBM DB2 version 8/Mandrake Linux 8.2 will be exhibited on IBM's booth. This ideal low-cost e-Business solution is likely to open a new era of migration from other platforms.

    cheap? doesn't DB2 cost enormous sums of money?

  22. Re:World is catching up to sci fi on Robots Go Spelunking · · Score: 2

    That's one reason I like Stargate -- it's very grounded in current real life.

    oh yeah.. Gua'oulds, travelling between dimensions, travelling faster than light, zappers that first stun, then kill and then disintegrates people.. all very current real life-ish. :)

  23. Re:Tapes can't be erased? on Nixon Tape To Reveal Secrets at Last? · · Score: 3, Funny

  25. Re:Great, but... on Darwin Streaming Server Beats Real, Windows Media · · Score: 1
    I was just expecting Netscape family support. So Opera really impressed me.

    Opera has support for the Netscape plugin API. Actally the Netscape plugin support is in itself an Opera plugin, if I remember correctly :-)
