    well hmmm.. like.. "Yay we're almost #1 in google rankings for accounced!" and given the reputation of the site, the word and definition would be retrieved from the internet by alien lifeforms thus coming to earth saying, "Accouncing Peace to all Toons..."

    I now have a string of unfinished projects to my name that certainly eclipses what Babbage did.

  4. Agreement useless to users? on Linspire/Microsoft Agreement Useless to Users · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Isn't it much more like Linspire/Microsoft Agreement makes Linspire useless? Additionally, that is an understatement also since the general idea of useless is that you won't get anything good from it. In this scenario, it should be Linspire/MS Agreement Toxic to Users.

  9. That's good.... on Matrox's Extio Reviewed · · Score: 2, Interesting
    It is good that the pc be installed somewhere safe, it would provide a more physical protection for the box itself although I'm not sure of the data.. But I find this ironic...

    This is where Matrox comes in with the Extio, which offers secure remote access, complete with multi-screen display options. The Extio itself is a small metal box that sits on your desk


    Now we got more than $1K of equipment sitting on the desk... (according to the price on the article)

    So what would the text be? This idea could get me entertained for the rest of the weekdays. Currently the M$ site holds the #1 in Google rankings.

  21. Re:Yeah, but... on CIA Declassifies the "Family Jewels" · · Score: 4, Funny

    Hmmm... If you type the word "shark" in their search box then type "laser" in the Search Within Results, it would display a link to a document that had something to do with a report regarding Iraq's Weapons of Mass Destruction. Hmmm....
