  1. Re:Not needed on Working Effectively with Legacy Code · · Score: 1

    If I had points, I'd mod you up, thats exactly how I've seen it.

  2. Re:From what I gather... on "Anonymous" Hacks Palin's Private Email · · Score: 2, Funny
    lipstick!

    wait...did i jump the gun??

  3. Its what they wish it was... on Nonprofit Group Sends Filesharing Propaganda To Students · · Score: 1
    Maybe this is less about propaganda and more about spread their giant wet dream...

    They dream about:

    ...kids losing their scholarship,
    ...spending years in jail,
    ...giving up their first born son.

    I think their biggest wet dream to date is pretending that people will continue to pay obscene prices for music.

  4. Not new on reCAPTCHA Hard At Work, Rescuing Fading Texts · · Score: 4, Informative

    Ticketmaster and other sites have already been doing this for a while. Go to ticketmaster and search for tickets, you'll see two words. One is known and the other is unknown. If you don't believe me, try to guess which one they know and misspell the other one on purpose (or don't, this is for historic posterity =) )

  5. 3 words... on Alternative Uses For an Old Satellite Dish? · · Score: 1

    Giant laser beam!

  6. how will this be integrated? on Google Launches Lively, an Avatar Based 3D World · · Score: 1

    And if you get into a fight with someone, will you be able to get their exact location off google maps and hit them for real? =)

  7. no way this is going to be used as intended on Rare Tour of Sun Microsystems' "Wonderland" · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I work at a software firm and a good chunk of the QA staff and even some product strategy folk can't work LiveMeeting and you're trying to tell me that this is easier and more intuitive to the point of wide adoption?

  8. new? on Your Computer As Your Singing Coach · · Score: 2, Interesting

    How is this technology new? I remember hearing many many years ago that they had developed gadgets that you could attach to your phone that could more or less sense if a person was nervous or not and could even function as a lie detector. These devices were probably pretty primitive, and their claims of being able to be used to spot when someone was lying to you were probably a little over the top, however, this technology doesn't strike me as new.

  9. incredible on Cassini's Primary Mission Ends, Two-Year Extension Begins · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I simply think that the fact that many of these machines we are sending into space are lasting so much longer than their intended missions is simply an incredible feat of engineering. My hats off to those engineers.

  10. hub? on New Map IDs the Core of the Human Brain · · Score: 5, Funny
    I always thought the geek brain was based on token ring topology with the different nodes responsible for:
    • eat
    • sleep
    • video games
    • pr0n

    all running round robin =)

  11. Re:Stop turning food into fuel on Consumer Ethanol Appliance Promised By Year's End · · Score: 3, Interesting

    And the fact that your country men are destroying the Amazon at a blazing pace for farmland while your government stands around mostly being inept makes you guys the poster child for the consequences attached to ethanol.

  12. Re:This is just Subscription model 2.0 on Apple Mulls Flat-Rate "Unlimited Music" Option · · Score: 0

    They still aren't offering me a better deal or incentives than my current "Pay Nothing For All I Want" bargain

  13. Re:Oh the Humanity! on 'Porn King' Says Google Should Block Porn Access · · Score: 0

    I don't care if I get bashed for this, my karma already sucks. You my friend, are going to have a gay son! Males are usually attracted to violence and action as kids just as girls are attracted to dolls. It is better your son learn about guns, their advantages and disadvantages, how to handle them safely, etc., than to have some overly protective parent worrying that they're going to see one. Jesus, its not like your son can go buy one.

  14. Re:Incendiary Device on Students Downloading Jihadist Material Acquitted · · Score: 0

    Your post reminds me of Minority Report...if this case turns out to be a rarity in our post-9/11 world, I wouldn't doubt that you could be punished for crimes they think you will commit.

  15. Re:This happens to me all the time! on A $1 Billion Email Gaffe · · Score: 2, Funny

    How do you manage to notice emails from the Times and folks sifting through all the offers for a larger penis and requests to temporarily hold funds for nigerian family members

  16. Re:Happens on Apples Too. on New Dell Laptops Give Users a Literal Shock · · Score: 0

    NEW DELL MARKETING STRATEGY:

    Our computers will make you tingle!*

    *literally!

  17. Reminds me of the usual... on Monkey's Thoughts Make Robot Walk · · Score: 1, Funny

    In Soviet Russia, monkey control you!

  18. Re:Interesting engineering opportunities on Researchers Create Beating Heart In Lab · · Score: 1

    Considering the fact that the new fetal heart was only pumping at 1/4th the normal heart's capacity suggests you might already need a bigger heart. Although, if they were able to grow a heart that functioned exactly how an original would, what animal can you think of has those kinds of modifications? From the article, you can read that they simply created a new heart using the lattice structure of the original heart.

  19. idiocracy on The Evolution of Language · · Score: 0

    I predict a language where some words take on many meanings, for example fuck will one day be more than a noun, an adjective, a verb, an adverb and pronoun.

    What the fuck?
    Stop fucking doing that!
    I was fucking...
    We were going fucking fast!
    Thats fucking cool!

    Wit da wordz dat survive, we'll abbr. dem, soz we can text fzter.

    Eventually, we'll replace most common words with more common vulgar or shorter ones. And all our plants will get their electrolytes! Cuz its what plants need!

  20. Re:Seems Like a Cool Idea on Help To Map Light Pollution · · Score: 0

    That looks like the Halo 3 usage map at the matchmaking page at around midnight ;)

  21. blah on A Case Study In GPLv2 / GPLv3 Compatibility · · Score: 0

    holy fuck...i don't care what i get modded for this, but you guys are fucking ridiculous. Open software is supposed to be about innovation and all that other fun shit, but all you guys do is bicker about what licensing to use. personally i would be like "heres my code, do whatever the hell you want to do with it."

  22. Re:Africa on Google Planning New Undersea Cable Across Pacific? · · Score: 0

    brilliant!! dead dignitaries and persons of import with large sums of wealth in nigeria will finally be able to truly locate long lost relatives to help relocate some of the family wealth

  23. a cupholder on What Do You Want In iPhone 2.0? · · Score: 0

    obviously it needs a cupholder, everything new and shiny does, damn, my $499 laptop brought a retractable one, and the iphone initially cost just as much or more!

  24. Re:Well, for one... on What Do You Want In iPhone 2.0? · · Score: 0
