  1. Re:Prior art? on EFF Attacks Online Gaming Patent · · Score: 1

    I recently decided to send EFF a monthly stipend for the good work they do. Mod them up the old fashioned way. With cash.

  2. Re:Adam Smith sez... on The True Cost of SMS Messages · · Score: 2, Interesting

    So we pay a premium to talk with our thumbs while our lips hang idle. O evolution! Caprice hath designed thy nature.

  3. Re:God on Bobby Fischer Is Dead At 64 · · Score: 1

    It's even scarier when God says, "mate in three."

  4. Mechanical Trees on Bizarre Self-Destructing Palm Tree Found · · Score: 1

    "They're growing mechanical trees now. They grow to their full height, then they chop themselves down."

    -- Lauri Anderson (from which song, I forget.)

  5. Re:Worst Website Ever! on CES 2008 Hall of Shame · · Score: 1

    The Knower of 4 corner simultaneous 24 hour Days ... must have SLACK?

    This stuff does read kinda like Church literature.

  6. There's poor children in the U. S.? on OLPC To Be Distributed To US Students · · Score: 1

    Who will tell the Republicans?

  7. Fuck Ford on What's New in Blade Runner - The Final Cut? · · Score: 1

    With or without narration, the movie is great. Not even Harrison Ford could ruin it. His character is outshined by every other character in (nearly) every scene from start to finish. Hammy over-rated some-bitch. Look at him next to Rutger Hauer. He looks like an unschooled stand-in at rehearsal. Forgive me Harrison. I loved you in Star Wars. Indiana Jones too. If only you had stuck to the loopy melodramas.

  8. Re:Obvious on Wal-Mart's Terrible Nintendo Wii Knock-Offs · · Score: 1

    ...but greed & stupidity makes those with the money & power do whatever needs to be done in the shortest term...rather than for the long term. Common sense...ethics & morality are in such short supply that those who have them are outcasts in the business & everyday world.

    Therefore I say again, 'It's a sad commentary ...'

  9. Re:Obvious on Wal-Mart's Terrible Nintendo Wii Knock-Offs · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Obey the law? It's a sad commentary on corporate culture that that should have to be specified in a mission statement.

  10. Re:Another reason my nickname for them is appropri on Senators Call For Hearing On Carrier Content Blocking · · Score: 1

    I like to call them Bombast. Alphabetically it's very close and it fits the character of the telcoms.

  11. Re:Tag goodforher ! on Mom Sues Music Company Over Baby Video Removal · · Score: 1

    Yes, there is no creature more fierce than a mother with young to protect.

  12. Re:Third person driving! on New Car Sensor System Simulates Birds-Eye View · · Score: 2, Funny

    No. Frogger.

  13. Re:Humanity on Al Gore Shares Nobel Peace Prize with UN Panel · · Score: 1

    Flamebait? So where's the flame?

  14. Humanity on Al Gore Shares Nobel Peace Prize with UN Panel · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    "... a moral and spiritual challenge to all of humanity."

    Humanity? Shouldn't he be including the right wing too?

  15. Re:It's cool that Google won't be charging for it on Google Hopes to Disaggregate Carriers with gPhone · · Score: 1

    Ha. Mod parent funny.

  16. Re:Mind on Spontaneous Brain Activity and Human Behavior · · Score: 2, Funny

    Believe what you will, pedants! Your nervous system is but an interface betwixt the shimmering perfection of mind and the karmic shithole to which you desperately cling. Wake up! Wake up!

  17. Re:Mind on Spontaneous Brain Activity and Human Behavior · · Score: 1

    Indeed. Most people do behave as if they were buggy software running on a meat box.

  18. Mind on Spontaneous Brain Activity and Human Behavior · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Your mind is not in your brain. Your brain is in your mind.

  19. Re:I've got a copy on How Computers Transformed Baby Boomers · · Score: 2, Funny

    "I wonder why it's so expensive?"

    Because scarcity is like heroin to booksellers. We are cutthroat savages every last one of us.

  20. Re:Silly on Ubuntu Hardy Heron Announced · · Score: 1

    "Apart from being silly, the code names add confusion to Ubuntu's already-confusing version numbering system."

    But they tie in nicely with the consistently immature cartoon mascots you see associated with all sorts of free software. Look at all the dorky penguin characters. Look at the Gimp. I used to draw shit like that on my notebook folders in 7th grade. Look at Shuttleworth's blog. That dragon isn't cool, or bad, or elegant. It's just goofy. Infantile and silly. The use of words and images in marketing matters. Most the Linux stuff I see looks unprofessional.

  21. Re:Where do I sign up? on Another Way To Erase Memories · · Score: 1

    I second that. I'd *pay* for that.

  22. Re:What's in it for me? on Microsoft Pleads With Consumers to Adopt Vista Now · · Score: 1

    4. Mac and Linux users who would never ever even consider using Vista.

    Ok. There are three possible groups of people here. Possibly four ...

  23. Re:Saw it a few days ago on Michael Moore's New Film Leaked To BitTorrent · · Score: 1

    Got it.

  24. Re:Saw it a few days ago on Michael Moore's New Film Leaked To BitTorrent · · Score: 1

    It is not the health care I want placed in the hands of the 'dumbass' government. It's the distribution system God damn it. Get it? It's the fucking insurance business. We need to sever its tentacles and drive a stake into its fucking vampiric heart.

  25. Re:Finally! What I've been waiting for! on A Million Zunes Sold · · Score: 1

    It can squirt seeds.
