  1. Re:It's True. on Amiga Demonstration Helps Win Against Patent Troll · · Score: 1

    Yah, it was really hard to drool over Sammy on a green Hercules screen...

  2. Re:jupiter global warming ? on Jupiter Is Missing a Belt · · Score: 1

    It is due to Earth Global Warming. Clearly Jupiter cooled down while it was shielded from Earth by the Sun.

  3. Re:We already have a secure coding office... on US Needs Secure Coding Office · · Score: 1

    Yup, the poor sap is so totally clueless.

  4. Re:I'm just on New Metamaterial Means More Efficient Solar Cells · · Score: 1

    So I take it that you only learned to read 2 years ago...

  5. 2&1 on Canonical Bringing an Instant-On Ubuntu · · Score: 1

    The first thing I change on a Gnome system is to collapse the two panels into one. It is totally stupid on a laptop machine to have two panels.

  6. Re:Sooo considering... on 7Gbps Wi-Fi Networking Kit Could Launch In 2010 · · Score: 1

    WiFi is simplex, meaning that it tx and rx half the time, so your bandwidth is necessarily less than half the marketing fluff figure.

  7. Streamtuner on When Internet Radios Get Affordable · · Score: 1

    Streamtuner works for me. One does need a good internet connection of course, else the sound will be choppy on these things.

  8. ...but do they have monster audio cables? on Is the 4th Yellow Pixel of Sharp Quattron Hype? · · Score: 1

    The yellow pixels won't help a bit without monster cables and directional ethernet wiring with arrows to show the electrons which way to go.

  9. Re:So who need Internet Radio? on When Internet Radios Get Affordable · · Score: 1

    Maybe you should get out more.

    Nowadays, few people are born, grow up, settle down, marry, get children, grow old and die in the same little village.

    There is a whole world out there with hundreds of countries and thousands of states, with thousands of radio stations, that you cannot receive over the air in your little burg.

  10. Silicon on 1 Molecule Computes Thousands of Times Faster Than a PC · · Score: 1

    The silicon processor in my PC is just one molecule as well and it can do much more than a FFT.

  11. Why stop now? on NASA Outlines Plan For Next-Gen Space Robots · · Score: 1

    Obligatory HGG quote: Why stop now, just when I'm hating it?

  12. Lots of water and hydrocarbons in space on "Wet" Asteroids Could Supply Space Gas Stations · · Score: 1

    There are vast quantities of water and hydrocarbons in space. The problem is free oxygen.

  13. Re:what are the chemical dispersants? on Hundred-Ton Dome To Collect Oil Spill · · Score: 1

    Eventually something eats it and turns it into poop.

    There are bacteria that eat oil.

  14. Re:Massive innovation; return of 'file' menu optio on Microsoft Office 2010, Dissected · · Score: 1

    Hmm, how many years to bring the rest of the menu buttons back? Fortunately there are free plugins that bring the old style menus back already. MS will go out of business without the support of other little companies fixing the bugs in their software on their behalf.

  15. Re:Who needs gates? on Second Inquiry Exonerates Climatic Research Unit · · Score: 1

    OK, from now on, in order to stop the MS bashing, let's call it 'ClimateJobs'. Better?

  16. Re:Better than ours? on Mayan Plumbing Found In Ancient City · · Score: 1

    The Romans and Greeks knew full well that dirty water spreads disease. That is why they went to such extraordinary lengths to gather water high in the mountains and pipe it through the cities. Their civil engineers did not need microscopes to figure that out.

  17. Re:This is why PDF should be abandoned on Foxit One-Ups Adobe In Blocking PDF Attack Tactics · · Score: 3, Informative

    Uhhh, got news for you. Postscript is a programming language. Someone with too much time on his hands even wrote a chess program in postscript.

  18. Re:pattern? on Mayan Plumbing Found In Ancient City · · Score: 1

    No co-incidence. It is called 'earth quakes' and we all live on the same planet. So no co-incidence here.

  19. Chatroulette may be better on Church Turns To Facebook To Find Priests · · Score: 1

    The Roman church would find more willing perverts^W candidates on chatroulette...

  20. tiny pages on Scientist Uses Nanodots To Create 4Tb Storage Chip · · Score: 0

    The prof needs a basic lesson in math.

    A pain text page of ASCII text is typically about 2000 Bytes, so his 4Tb will store only about 31 Million pages. ...and don't use MS Word for that.

  21. Library of Congress on Chains of RFCs and Chains of Laws? · · Score: 1

    The Library of Congress of course.

  22. System Restore is a security problem on Win7 Can Delete All System Restore Points On Reboot · · Score: 2, Funny

    The System Restore function is a favorite hiding place for malicious programs. So Microsoft finally fixed it?

  23. 300 channels of sh*t on the TV to choose from... on One In Eight To Cut Cable and Satellite TV In 2010 · · Score: 1

    The problem is that one has to subscribe to 300 channels in order to get about 5 that has one or two watchable programs per week. The end result is equivalent to having one decent channel for your $70 per month, which is rather costly.

  24. Re:The filter must not go ahead! on Australian Gov't Claims Internet Filter Legislation Still In Play · · Score: 3, Insightful

    There is no 'when' either. It will be abused right from the get go.

  25. Regime change needed in world on US Says 4.3 Billion People Live With Bad IP Laws · · Score: 1

    Yes, exactly. That is why the USA should immediately invade the rest of the world and do a regime change in all countries except Africa south of the Sahara (which apparently doesn't matter).
