  1. With $500K a day you could.. on Google Relents, Publishes Belgian Ruling · · Score: 1

    A) Feed a lot of children in Africa
    B) Donate to cancer research
    C) Buy me a new graphics card ..among other things. As others have said, the Belgian French-Speaking press need to be taught a lesson in humility, and perhaps another concerning the workings of the Tubes.

    If only we had more New Yorkers on the Google high board.

  2. How do these people think? on Yahoo Tries to Woo Facebook With $900 Million · · Score: 2, Funny

    I dunno, I'm just confused. What's the difference between $900 million and $1500 million? Or $2000 million? Or 5000?

    What goes on inside people's minds when they are debating this sort of shite?

    [CEO Thought Bubble]: $1 Billion dollars means a baseball team, 2 small Islands and a nice fleet of cars and jets. Probably enough remaining in stocks for a comfortable living and the odd shopping spree.

    [devil]But 2 billion...now we're really talking. Just think of the possibilities. More celebrities to screw, 3 times the number of cars possible. Maybe another Island off the Brazilian coast. Plus, 1 is a small number. Insecure, ya know. 2 is plain solid. Go for 2. 2 billion dollars man. 2 f*cking billion. [/devil]

    [angel] If they say no you won't have much to screw, will ya cowboy. 1 billiondollars ought to be enough for anybody. IF you ask for more, you should and will go to hell[/angel]

    [/CEO Thought Bubble]

    CEO: Give me time to think, please. You can't rush this kind of decision.

  3. The One Sign on Could You Be Addicted to the Internet? · · Score: 1

    The one and ONLY sign of being addicted to the internet is if you spend Friday night reading articles about how to find out if you are addicted to the internet, on the internet.

  4. "Microsoft" & "Free" on MS Planning Free Web-Based Business Software · · Score: 1

    In the same sentence? This is, needless to say, a trap.

  5. Something feels wrong on Motorola Unveils Phone Vending Machines · · Score: 1

    ..about putting $300 in a vending machine. Do these things have tight security, or can you open them with a minibar key?

  6. They are doing other things meanwhile on Software Makers Lobby EU Against Microsoft · · Score: 1

    I overheard a secret conversation between two Indians about how they planning to hit MS with so many 0days on the day Vista is released(i.e just after it stops snowing in hell), that they fear for Global Warming implications.

    I mean, what are the chances that they would let something like this go unpunished? AV people are some of the best virus writers out there. Norton is a friggin virus. Do you really think they will let MS walk away unscathed?

  7. Like any good New Yorker on Mathematician Claims New Yorker Defamed Him · · Score: 1

    The judge will defame him too.

  8. No no no on Massives As Your Third Home · · Score: 1

    while bonding provides depth (comfort and advice).

    Bonding and depth != comfort and advice. Trust me on this one.

    long term players may experience bonding

    To experience bonding, please visit your nearest pub, attract female attention, intoxicate, take home, bond.

    Finally, a serious word: if you're travelling the world, stuck somewhere between A and B, don't play video games all the time just to tell your friends that you miss them. They're probably losers just like you - forget about them. Explore. Look around you. Live.

    Life is too precious to spend inside a win32 executable (that's what a game waters down to).
    P.S I'm a gamer; do it at work.

  9. Re:what about the women? on University of Virginia Student Graduates in One Year · · Score: 1

    Don't worry, he sounds like a mass-comm major. They are becoming rather common here these days.

  10. Re:The punchline on University of Virginia Student Graduates in One Year · · Score: 1

    I gather you are one of the people who see the internet as an Enabler of Guilty Pleasures.

  11. Insightful? on The Internet — Enabler of Guilty Pleasures · · Score: 1

    Gay moderators speak for yourselves please, and do not mod up comments written entirely in bold text because that's just rude.

  12. Re:Moo on University of Virginia Student Graduates in One Year · · Score: 1, Funny

    Nonsense. The only worthwile genius is evil genius.

    And for everything else..there be statues.

  13. No fun whatsoever on How a Wiring Rack Should Look · · Score: 2, Funny

    What would be the fun in trying to locate a cable in one of those perfectly tied, will-you-marry-me-now bundles? Where is the CHALLENGE, the spirit of the techie?

    I'm a comp.science person, so we don't do such mundane tasks, but for you lowly H/W freaks I suggest that cabling be done a little worse to make your miserable lives a little more interesting.

  14. What this all means on Toshiba to Exchange 340,000 Laptop Batteries · · Score: 1

    More fried balls.

  15. Re:Story will not include "Hobbitses" on New Tolkien Story To be Published · · Score: 1

    Life will never be the same without my precioussssssssss. No one else was a pain in the ass in the whole trilogy, and you can't have a sucessful movie/book/game without a pain in the ass. I cal it PITA theory.

  16. Re:Whatever on Zero-Day IE Exploit In the Wild · · Score: 1

    [hick] Nah, you're just paranode [/hick]

    sorry :)

  17. Either that or minibar keys on Top Five Causes of Data Compromise · · Score: 3, Funny
  18. Re:A huge advance? on Intel Announces Lasers On a Chip · · Score: 1

    So do the electrons move?

  19. Re:GASP!!! on Google News Removes Belgian Newspaper · · Score: 1

    What, so they can do the honors of lynching him themselves, or is it to send him back before he does any damage? Please clarify.

  20. Very funny but.. on Warner Opens Video Library To YouTube · · Score: 1

    Just in case you were serious: come on, man. This is Warner not Mother Tereza. They don't hold hands and chant in the CEO's office.

    Since there's this little complication about them having to make money to survive, grow..etc maybe it's not too harsh that they gave out every video in their archive in exchange for a little advertising.

    Heck, maybe now I'll even look at the ads.

  21. GASP!!! on Google News Removes Belgian Newspaper · · Score: 2, Informative

    You mean I can't read earth-shattering news exclusively put on french-speaking, .be domains anymore? Whatever will we do now? Dear Jesus.. how will I survive when such a huge part of the internets has been torn away? How many tubes are left, oh harsh harsh world?

    In all seriousness, I didn't know the french-speaking press of the Belgian world was so damn stupid. Most of their traffic probably comes from people accidentally clicking on links from google. Why would they do this? Money?

    That's like kidnapping Dubya in Egypt and asking the Arabs for a ransom.

  22. Slashdotting Vegas? on Cheating At Roulette May Be Legal In UK · · Score: 1

    Welcome to the first episode of Slashdotting Vegas: Taking slashdotting to new heights!

    One possible outcome of an article like this is that instead of the usual we-screwed-your-server-in-10-minutes, something along the lines of "We took half your cash away" could be brewing. There is nothing more intriguing to a geek than a hack, and hacking a casino for money (thereby chicks) is the ultimate adventure. Just look at the comments..advice, experiences, possible ways to get around security, links to books. Don't you just love slashdot?

    Predicting the fall of Vegas in 3, 2, 1...

  24. Jokes line up here please on Would You Date Microsoft? · · Score: 1

    1) Date MS? Many thanks, but there are other ways to get f*cked..

    2) Donut Theory. Wow. Here's a general rule: When you run a OSS lab and start likening OSS development to a donut, you don't get to be an OSS lab any more.

  25. Re:Shocked, I say! on Verizon Steps in to Fix Microsoft's IPTV · · Score: 1

    and I'd guess that they also have their own software stacks.

    Well I hope to God they do, because otherwise the internets and all their tubes will be pwned very soon.
