  1. Re:"Re-Wii"? on Nintendo Admits They May 'Lose Some Purists' · · Score: 2, Funny

    Actually, considering the Japanese origins of the company concerned, wouldn't it be "Wii-Ni"?

  2. Re:Does it .... on MS Promotion Site Flagged By MS Anti-Phishing · · Score: 5, Informative
    Amen brother.

    No one out there really seems to get it. Fosters - goes in the same category with Rolf Harris, Steve Irwin (god bless him) and Crocodile Dundee:

    Shit we foist on other people.

    Well they aren't REALLY made for the mac either. Plenty of their line STILL only run under Rosetta for intel macs.

    Actually, for a long time they were thinking of implementing it under RFC1149

    But the they were having a hard time keeping packet loss down.

  5. LunchApp.ocx on Acer May Be Bugging Computers · · Score: 5, Funny
    Don't panic. It's not a method for launching applications.

    The original article failed to notice that it's a Lunch application. It's actually a throw back to when Acer briefly partnered up with 180solutions to deliver targeted pop-under sandwiches to hungry laptop owners. The idea being that after seventeen hours of trying to uninstall Bonsai Buddy the computer user would be debilitated through starvation and susceptible receptive to sp(iced h)am..

    The program was abandoned when Acer's engineers failed to perfect the wasabi-over-ip protocol - leaving the whole system unreliable an prone to bagel overrun.

  6. Re:Dangers of solar power on New Solar Panel Technology Gaining Momentum · · Score: 1

    Ah hah! I've heard this argument before. But I can do one better. You all gotta watch a film. It was called "The Matrix". I think a bright young chap named Guano or Keno or something was in it.. It's obvious that we don't need the sun at all because we can get all the power we need from our own bio electrics! Get with the program people. Sheesh....

  7. Re:Geeks don't do art. on OpenOffice.org Design Contest · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I don't know about that. As a visual effects artist, a lot of my work is highly technical - but I only make money because of a highly developed sense of aesthetics. In my field at least, the line between "operators"(geeks) and "artists" grows thinner everyday.
