  1. Re:Let's assign blame accurately on Dell Laptop Burns House Down · · Score: 1

    1200 didn't ship with Sony batteries - something or other made in China, not Japan.

  2. Good idea on MS Seeks Patent For Repossessing School Computers · · Score: 1

    Anyone using a a MS computer, should have it reposessed.

  3. Re:Yeah, but on Two Ways Not To Handle Free Speech · · Score: 2, Funny

    Yup and Google should refund the guy's money he paid for the service, with interest...

  4. GIGO on Two Ways Not To Handle Free Speech · · Score: 1, Troll

    Well, you got to think whether it matters at all. Garbage in, garbage out...

  5. Re:Religion on Two Ways Not To Handle Free Speech · · Score: 4, Funny

    "there are plenty of made up religions" Hmm, are the any that aren't made up? ...and on the 7th day, man invented god in his image...

  6. Re:Freedom of speech is from *GOVT* censorship on Two Ways Not To Handle Free Speech · · Score: 1, Insightful

    In general, your freedom ends where someone else's nose begins...

    Freedom of speech doesn't imply freedom to slander, libel or incite. It rather means freedom to discuss any topic in a dry, boring, responsible, sane, adult, philosophical manner.

  7. Averaging on Storing Wind Power In Cold Stores · · Score: 1

    Once there are many wind farms, the supply should average out. It sounds like people are trying to solve the wrong problem - to get a more stable supply, build more whirlygigs in more places.

  8. April yet? on Storing Wind Power In Cold Stores · · Score: 3, Funny

    Man, time flies. Refrigerating electricity - hmm, wonder how long it will last till it spoils?

  9. Bit Slice on AMD's Showcases Quad-Core Barcelona CPU · · Score: 1

    Things have come a long way since the heady days of bit slice processors. The first microcode I wrote was for an XOR operation - I could not think of anything simpler, that would actually do something useful...

  10. Re:Just a suggestion... on Statistical Accuracy of Internet Weather Forecasts · · Score: 2, Funny

    In Calgary, the weather forecast is just a suggestion. Actual weather can change 20C up or down in a few minutes. One side of the city can have snow and the other side sunshine. Sometimes it snows in July. So I have no idea why all these other wimps are complaining about a thunder shower on a forcasted clear day. I mean, what is the problem with that? The guy should be glad that he didn't get a heat wave followed by 2 feet of snow after the thunder shower...

  11. Re:Compression on EMI May Sell Entire Collection as DRM-less MP3s · · Score: 1

    Hmm, I just have to pop your bubble - any sampled music is lossy... ;)

  12. Re:there is already a cure on Mice Cured of Autism · · Score: 1

    Yup, that will work. Then 1 in 3 children will die from smallpox and the rest from other diseases. There won't be anyone left to catch Autism...

  13. Michael Jackson on Woman Wins Right to Criticize Surgeon on Website · · Score: 1

    That woman is lucky - I wonder who did Michael's face. His is probably the best known plastic butchery ever...

  14. Write Only Memory (WOM) on ISP Tracking Legislation Hits the House · · Score: 1

    This sounds like an ideal application for write only memory. Linux admins can simply save the data on /dev/null. It is cheap and will never run out of storage space.

  15. Re:No! Please! on Google Docs to support Powerpoint · · Score: 2, Funny

    Hmm, actually those are the good ones - much better than corporate snoozers.

  16. Re:Of Course! on DNS Root Servers Attacked · · Score: 1

    It is the Free version GMILF.

  17. Gum'n tape on Low Earth Orbit Junk Yard Nearly Full · · Score: 1

    Nothing that some chewing gum and ductape can't fix...

  18. Re:Complete FUD on Graph of Linux Vs. Windows System Calls · · Score: 3, Funny

    Of course DOS is more secure than Linux. It doesn't do networking...

  19. Re:Too bad. on First Mobile Device with Rollable Display · · Score: 3, Funny

    A successful new technology requires at least three companies to go bankrupt first. Counting 1...

  20. Re:Not what it seems on Cheap, Safe, Patentless Cancer Drug Discovered · · Score: 1

    If you have cancer, you better be a mouse. We are very good at (inducing and) treating cancer in mice...

  21. Re:Patentless on Cheap, Safe, Patentless Cancer Drug Discovered · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    BTW, Linux has full support for NTFS: http://www.ntfs-3g.org/

  22. Waterworld... on Canadian Movie Piracy Claims Mostly Fiction? · · Score: 1

    I bet you that one hasn't been camcorded - not even in Canada, eh?

  23. Re:colours! on Want to Take On An Open/Unsolved Problem? · · Score: 1

    "Grue (color)..."? It is pitch black, you are in danger of being eaten by one...

  24. Re:British Computer Society is a joke on The Death Of CS In Education? · · Score: 1

    "Accounting, Business Skills" - those are the most important part of the course actually. What is the point of knowing how to program a computer if you go bankrupt in the process?

  25. Re:What is CS Anyway? on The Death Of CS In Education? · · Score: 1

    You forgot the most important part of CS - Customer Service: "You want fries with that?".
