    See, people don't get that their slogan was meant to be ironic. It all makes sense once you know that.

  2. You need to go beyond the law. on Best Way To Get Back a Stolen Computer? · · Score: 5, Funny

    You need Snake Plissken.

  3. Re:Bring it to the airport on What Is the Best Way To Disinfect Your Laptop? · · Score: 1, Funny

    But don't call AOL for help unless you've paid for phone support.

    Einstein has yet to prove why hot dogs and hot dog buns come in inequal quantities.

    I read Slashdot via telegraph.

  6. And also... on Discovery of a "Flat" Atom Hailed as Quantum Computing Breakthrough · · Score: 0, Redundant

    it's an excellent substitute for almonds in recipes. Slight indigestion does follow in some cases. YMMV.

  7. Stupid Dyslexia on Intel Says to Prepare For "Thousands of Cores" · · Score: 1

    I read that as 'Thousands of Crows' and had this great image of flocks of birds flying out of my ethernet port, delivering packets to the world.

    The Easter Islanders also ran out of timber. Their solution was to die out.

  9. Re:Total ignorance of economics? on Supplies of Rare Earth Elements Exhausted By 2017 · · Score: 1

    Right, because it's so easy to just go mine an asteroid what with us having proven technology to do it.

  10. Informative. However- on FBI Illegally Tapped Phone Phreaks In 1969 · · Score: 3, Informative

    The current wiretapping scandal has to do with violating FISA which was not passed until 1978.

  11. Okay, men, now listen. on Review of Das Keyboard · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    We're going to type out the code now and see if we can get our rear ends out of the sand. If we make it to the release, things could still get pretty rough. Traffic's heavy up there. And we have to pray the server starts, so we can get out of this mess. The condition the network is in, we have got to head straight for */ La Rochelle */. If we make it... it's half a bottle of beer for each! There is one thing on our side; they won't be expecting us. Well men, all set?

  12. You know... on The Future Has a Kill Switch · · Score: 5, Funny

    sometimes, I wish my wife had a kill switch. Nag, nag, nag.

  13. Working in the entertainment industry as I do... on Another Inventor of the Internet Wants To Gag It · · Score: 1

    I deal with transfers of very large (sometimes as much as 100 gb) video files. The most practical solution we've found for sharing those files between editors, colorists, digital effects artists, etc. if they are not in one centralized location where a LAN can be used is P2P. Having that throttled will be a big blow for us.

    I totally wanted to leave him in that stupid cage crying, "help!" Damn Blizzard for not letting me finish the game without him.

    I love the Diablo series, but Deckard Cain is one of the most annoying game characters, especially his fakey accent.

  17. Global warming caused by humans? Hah. on North Pole Ice On Track To Melt By September? · · Score: 1

    Next they'll be telling us that poorly-built levees cause flooding and mosquitoes cause Malaria. I'm glad the White House ignored that pesky EPA with their science.

  18. Re:Insert coin on Tiny Satellite Set To Hunt Asteroids · · Score: 3, Funny

    Sadly, that only works when the asteroids are two-dimensional and hollow. However, the threat of randomly shooting flying saucers is now negligible.

  19. *ONLY* 25%?! on Only One Quarter of the Planet To Be Online By 2012 · · Score: 1

    That's 1.5+ billion people. That's a bigger population than China or India. Frankly, that's astounding.
