  1. Re:Darn You Websense! on DataStorm V1.0, a Full-Auto Floppy Disk Cannon · · Score: 1

    Maybe you should wait for the floppy cannon simulator software to come out on CD-ROM. You'll probably have to use a VM or emulator for the mac, though. Woah, my head is spinning.

  2. Re:The irony... on USB 3 in 2008, 10 Times as Fast · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Isn't Ubuntu making an OS, named Dumbuntu, especially for refrigerators? I thought the upcoming beta has been code-named Crispy Cucumber. I think I'll wait for E.Coli-laced Eggplant, though. Hopefully, it will be supported past the expiration date of my milk.

    mmmmmmmmm... nothing.

  4. Re:psh on Point-and-Click Gmail Hacking Shown at Black Hat · · Score: 1

    Does that mean that we can report anyone who sniffs the wireless network to the police?

  5. Re:So say this works. How will Verizon charge? on Testing Einstein's 'Spooky Action at a Distance' · · Score: 1

    How will Verizon charge their $.02/$.0002 for long-distance data communication? Will their reps mangle your bill before you even start using the bandwidth?

  6. Re:Err... on Apple Sued Over 'Lacking' Macbook Display · · Score: 1

    If the human eye THINKS it sees a supermodel after the human gullet has downed several containers of a certain beverage while frequenting a certain establishment, waking up the next morning in a certain puddle of human regurgitation, does that mean that it ACTUALLY is?

  7. SpiegExxonMobil? on Could Global Warming Make Life on Earth Better? · · Score: 1

    So, exactly when was Spiegel bought out by ExxonMorris and/or PhilipMobil?

  8. There may be life... on Mission Could Seek Out Spock's Home Planet · · Score: 1

    There may be life, just not as we know it.

    I guess their marketing people passed on RootTube.

    "...just how does Google plan to make money from this?" Volume.

  14. Re:hmm on Death Threats In the Blogosphere · · Score: 1

    I don't think war zone is an accurate description, either. More like "Detroit".

  15. A tax? on EMI — Ditching DRM is Going To Cost You · · Score: 3, Interesting

    "... the charge is a tax/levy." Anyone else think it's about time to dress up as Indians or one of the other Village People and start throwing 1's and 0's into the Boston Harbor?

  16. Re:No different than us web developers on HD-DVD and Blu-Ray Protections Fully Broken · · Score: 1

    I like the parent analogy. Guilt usually works pretty well, too. To get a child to obey, parents should start a campaign where they tell their children that disobedience doesn't hurt the parents as much as it hurts little puppies and kitties. And ponies (if they're little girls or metro little boys). If the MPAA had a campaign like this, imagine how effective it would be? Piracy hurts the gaffers and grips; boohoo!

  17. Re:Just got one on Time Warner Cable Runs Out of HD DVRs · · Score: 1

    Check out monoprice.com for HDMI cables. For $20, you might be able to get 2 or 3 of 'em, so if your cat chews on one, you'll have a backup with which to hit the cat.

  18. Re:Is that real? on Time Warner Cable Runs Out of HD DVRs · · Score: 1

    It might be real. I have Time Warner, and just a couple weeks ago took my HD Cable Box into the local Time Warner office to switch it out for an HD DVR Cable Box after my ReplayTV died. The lady there said they were on backorder with no ETA. I asked to be put on a waiting list, and she kind of looked at me funny, wondering if I was serious. I was, so she pulled out a Post-It for me to put my name. I asked if she also wanted any contact information, so she could inform me when they came in, and I got that look again. I ended up calling 1-866-TWCABLE and ordered one over the phone. A week later, a technician came in and installed a beat-up looking, huge-ass box that still had someone else's recorded programming inside. But it works! High definition without commercials. Even my wife is pleased.

  19. Re:What about techtonics? on New Ice Age Theory · · Score: 1

    I know that most here are not religious, but what about this theory? Genesis speaks of God putting an expanse of water on the Earth and above the Earth (before creating humans). The Earth at this time would not have had many mountains, and the expanse of water in space surrounding the planet would cause a hothouse effect, allowing all kinds of plantlife (and animal life) to exist all over the Earth, including on the poles. When the flood of Noah's day arrived, the vast expanse of water was dumped on the Earth, instantly changing the "hothouse" earth into a much colder place, especially at the poles, where animals who were happily chewing on vegetation were immediately frozen. The massive weight of the water would also have dramatically altered plate techtonics, causing mountains to exist where there were none, and causing oceans and lakes to appear where waterless regions once existed.

  22. How to choose between the three on Choose the New PBS Science Show · · Score: 1

    Why don't they just have the cast members/hosts compete in some Real World/Road Rules obstacle-course challenge, and award the winners their show?

  23. Re:"Contact Us" link broken on Verizon Can't Do Math · · Score: 1

    It looks like you're right. Here's a seemingly still-working "Contact Us" page for Californians, though: http://www.verizonwireless.com/care/contact_us/con tact_us_california.html. If enough of us bombard Verizon, will the technician that comes in to fix the problem charge by the hour or the minute? I don't think Verizon would know the difference.

    I cannot wait to hear the geriatric crowd start saying things like, "Your nintendo-fu is wiik, mofo! Now get off my lawn."
