  1. Skynet Tag on 3D Self-Replicating Printer to be Released Under GNU License · · Score: 3, Funny

    Self replicating machines... need a Skynet tag.

  2. Auditing and Forensics on UK Banking Law Blames Customers For Insecure OS · · Score: 1

    I smell a huge opportunity for third party consumer security auditing and forensics. Many consumers will want some assurance that their PCs meet the bank's security standards. Forensics will be important for breeched accounts that are not audited.

  3. Re:IP35 on Upgrade Trick Still Present In Vista SP1 · · Score: 1

    ***Puts on Flame-proof coat***

    ***Takes aim at Simian with flamethrower***

    ***Realizes this is pointless as Simian has just put on his Flame-proof coat***

    ***Switches FPC piercing rounds***

  4. Re:It's really sad... on Microsoft Extends XP For Low-Cost Laptops · · Score: 1

    If the 1965 sedan broke down less (less crashes), had better parts availability (more hardware support), had cheaper parts (runs on cheaper hardware), used less gas (more resource/energy efficient), and could still get you to your destination faster (faster for most tasks) then I'd say keep Windows XP... I mean the 1965 sedan.

  5. Re:5 minutes? on Microsoft Extends XP For Low-Cost Laptops · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Well a lot of these devices like the Eee don't have physical hard drives which means less vibration but those flash chips will produce heat for sure. Also, Vista will probably wear out those flash chips much faster especially if they are MLC chips.

  6. Re:Totally Gnarly, Dood! on Tsunami Spotted on the Surface of the Sun · · Score: 3, Funny

    Make sure to use all-temperature wax.

  7. Re:Global warming? on Tsunami Spotted on the Surface of the Sun · · Score: 2, Funny

    The source was a solar glacier breaking off.

  8. Re:Is this real? - Umm yes on Creative Vista Driver Modder Speaks Out · · Score: 1

    It's easy for me to stay away from Creative but harder when a device I want to buy comes with Creative onboard or as the only option. It'd be nice to get the industry into this movement as well.

  9. Re:But that would mean... on What Kind of Alternate Business Models Could ISPs Use? · · Score: 1
    I like your thinking but I'd like like to elaborate on it.

    You say that "...the use of the Internet will drop..." but it's also very important to understand why this is important.

    We're at a critical point in US history where we are loosing (already lost?) our position as the most technically innovative country in the world. A reduction in Internet penetration will increase the digital divide and worsen this trend. Other countries such as India, Japan, China and Korea to name a few, will take (have taken?) the lead partially because of American bureaucracy.

  10. Better than myspace on The Original mcom.com Revived · · Score: 1

    Even these primitive webpages look better than most on myspace.

  11. Re:A throwback to the Roman Empire? on T-Mobile Claims Trademark In the Color Magenta · · Score: 3, Funny

    Roman Salvation Army stores?

  12. In the words of P.Griffin on Geeky April Fools' Day Prank Roundup · · Score: 1

    everything you hear is a lie. Everything.
    "Everything I say is a lie. Except that. And that. And that. And that. And that. And that..."
  13. Re:How is AIR different from, say java? on Adobe Joins Linux Foundation, Develops AIR For Linux · · Score: 1

    is hard to find an objective explanation of how AIR is going to fill a huge need or bake better bread.
    Well you see, air is the medium which transfers heat evenly through convection in the baking process. Without air I believe the bread would burn on one side and remain batter on the other but experiments in a vacuum are necessary to confirm this hypothesis.
  14. Wipe himself out on The Man Who Guards Clinton's Wikipedia Entry · · Score: 1

    I wonder how often he has to remove references to himself cleaning the entry in the entry.

  15. Re:Yes, Yes, and it does... (Buried Lede?) on Wireshark 1.0 Released · · Score: 4, Funny

    The previous version was 0.99.8 so 0.00.2 was added to make it 1.0.0

  16. My eyes are fooling me on What Are Must-Sees For Open Day At the LHC? · · Score: 0, Redundant

    "Large Hadron Collider" I had to read that line several times.

  17. It's always been XP in Japan on Hands-On With the Windows XP-Based Asus Eee PC · · Score: 4, Informative

    FYI, In Japan, XP is the only flavor of Eee PC. Not sure about other countries.

  18. Too slow on OpenOffice.org 2.4 Released · · Score: 3, Informative

    I just installed OO 2.4 to work on a few spreadsheets and it feels really slow. The response (so far) was worse when working with graphs.

  19. A decent solution on Is There Room For a Secure Web Browser? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Just take Firefox Portable and disable many of the nasty defaults like third-party cookies etc. Then load all the paranoia extensions like no-script, safecache, safehistory, refcontrol, cslite etc. and you can create a pretty secure browser without having to develop one yourself.

  20. Re:Distributed computing on Rubik's Cube Proof Cut To 25 Moves · · Score: 2, Funny

    Or perhaps Rubik's@home.

  21. Re:Which 25 moves? on Rubik's Cube Proof Cut To 25 Moves · · Score: 5, Funny
    No it's -- up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, b, a, b, a, up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, b, a, b, a, start

    The old 26 move algorithm was the same except 'select' then 'start'

  22. Re:Still waiting for a decent GUI on IBM Invests In MySQL/Oracle Competitor · · Score: 1

    Probably because people in the open source world write their own GUIs specifically for the task at hand in whatever language they are comfortable. I write my own PHP GUIs for MySQL databases all the time. If you're talking about GUI admin interfaces you may want to check out phpMyAdmin or HeidiSQL.

  23. Re:Will a lawsuit spoil the sale? on Multi-Channel Communication Patent Up For Sale · · Score: 1

    Depressing the price is a good thing because it will discourage this kind of nonsense (software patents) in the future.
  24. Re:webcam on Cubicle Security For Laptops, Electronics? · · Score: 1

    How will you secure the webcam from theft or prevent someone from simply blocking the lens with gum, tape, shaving cream...?
