huge files from a ... floppy

Is that an oxymoron like "jumbo shrimp" or "military intelligence"?

I'm pretty sure somebody in Microsoft is going nuts right now

My God, those poor chairs!

On: NASA Finds Star With a Tail

When I read "star with tail", Jennifer Lopez sprang to mind.

Only in Canada, eh?

On: Jeremy Allison On Why DRM Will Never Work

Claiming that [DRM] can ever be made secure ... is like believing you can create a secure bank vault by drawing chalk lines on the pavement, piling the money inside and asking customers to "respect these boundaries".

That might work in Canada. How do you get a bunch of Canadians out of a swimming pool? "Excuse me, would everyone please get out of the pool?"

On: Internet Curfew for College Students?

churning out students who cannot manage time or priorities, students who stand no chance of surviving in the buisiness world.

Re:Ax-handle control NOW!

On: Britain's First "Web-Rage" Attack

I wish the ax-handle lobby would own up to the fact that these things are not just dangerous, but potentially DEADLY!

Ax handles don't kill people, people kill people.

Re:just how much will each artist make?

On: Kazaa Agrees to Pay $100m to the Record Industry

So how about a system where the consumer and the artist are actively considering the allocation of money toward the future. "I want more of this. Yes. I'll pour money into this, because this guy understands." The artist has to earn my money, rather than the label.
