  1. Re:stupid on New Hitchhiker's Guide Book "Not Very Funny" · · Score: 1

    Captain Pendantic- Keeping the internet safe for grammar!

  2. Re:Class rings? on 'Awful' Internet Rules Released · · Score: 1

    The girls that went to your high school sound unusually not superficial and not follow-the-herd.

    Only the ones I dated.

  3. Re:Class rings? on 'Awful' Internet Rules Released · · Score: 2, Funny

    Maybe the girls YOU dated in high school. If one of the girls I dated in high school discovered I had bothered to even get a class ring, she probably would have kicked me in the balls just before breaking up with me and finished it up with kicking me in the balls again.

  4. Class rings? on 'Awful' Internet Rules Released · · Score: 1

    stop providing valuable services like [...] class rings.

    Class rings are neither valuable nor a service. Just so's ya know...

  5. O RLY? on Network Adapter Keeps Talking While a PC Is Asleep · · Score: 1

    'Round these here parts, we've had a device like that for years. We call it a network router.

  6. Re:Olde News? on Fatal Explosion At Russian Hydroelectric Dam · · Score: -1

    That's a lot of oil in a plant which is supposed to generate electricity without fossil fuels...

  7. It's because of the compass. on iPhone 3GS Is Number One In Japan · · Score: 3, Funny

    The Japanese dig the compass.

  8. Re:So... on Wireless Power Consortium Pushes for "Qi" Standard · · Score: 1

    Make it edible and you'll have a Chewy Kiwi Qi Wii.

  9. So... on Wireless Power Consortium Pushes for "Qi" Standard · · Score: 4, Funny

    Will Nintendo adopt it? Because I want a Qi Wii. And assemble it in Finland so the factory's website will be QiWii.fi

  10. Re:And then it was proptly deleted on English Wikipedia Reaches 3 Million Articles · · Score: 1

    Sadly, there are no Anglo-Saxon words for 'Atari' or 'Jaguar,' so the Vikings would probably just bash your head in before you got a chance to challenge them to a game of Tempest 2000.

  11. Re:And then it was proptly deleted on English Wikipedia Reaches 3 Million Articles · · Score: 5, Funny

    Fun from the talk page. A Wiki language geek "honored" the article by translating it into Anglo-Saxon for the Anglo-Saxon language version of Wikipedia. Because if there's one language that Wikipedia needs to be translated in, it's one that no one actually speaks anymore. http://ang.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beate_Eriksen

  12. Yawn. on NASA Developing Nuclear Reactor For Moon and Mars · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Wake me when I can buy me a Ford Nucleon. 5000 miles on a single fueling. Take that, Tesla Motors!

  13. You know the really sad part? on School Uniform To Block Cell Phone Emissions · · Score: 1

    They're probably still better at math and science than American kids.

  14. Re:Right, easy.... on "Easy Work-Around" For Microsoft Word's Legal Woes · · Score: 1

    Not to mention the fact that this would require a new run of DVDs having to be specially burned, new packaging which would have to be approved of, etc.

  15. Oh sure, you hail this as an achievment now... on Gene Therapy Causes Blind Woman To Grow New Fovea · · Score: 4, Funny

    but when the new eyes achieve sentience and telepathically conspire to enslave humanity, don't tell me I didn't warn you against this sort of thing!

  16. Re:"public" opinion? on Measuring Real Time Public Opinion With Twitter · · Score: 1

    Absolutely. Even if everyone using the internet was regularly on Twitter voicing their opinions, that would still leave millions of people's opinions off the survey- people who don't use computers or can't afford to. Those people still vote and consume.

  17. The same stupid rationale for the Rockefeller Laws on DoJ Defends $1.92 Million RIAA Verdict · · Score: 4, Insightful

    In fact, the same stupid rationale for all draconian anti-drug laws: if you make the punishment really harsh, people won't do drugs. And just look how well it works! Everyone knows there aren't any junkies in New York!

  18. I'm happy for the lad, however... on 14-Year-Old Wins International Programming Contest · · Score: 4, Funny

    The photograph they chose to feature in the PDF linked above uses the infamous Kubrick Stare so I am worried about him rounding up minions for his insane plan of world domination.

    That because in Soviet Russia, state programs YOU!

  20. Okay, but... on Sony To Convert Online Bookstore To Open Format · · Score: 1

    I have a first gen Sony reader and the thing that sold it to me was that it could read RTF and PDF formats, so I don't get why this is news.

  21. Re:Clear case of copyright infringement on Designer Fights For Second Life Rights · · Score: 1

    And yet you read and comment anyway...

  22. Re:The Real Reason.... on Major Carriers Shun Broadband Stimulus · · Score: 1

    It wouldn't? It would sure surprise me considering how illegal that would be...

  23. Re:Sick of zombies on A Mathematical Model For a Spreading Zombie Infestation · · Score: 5, Funny

    You're just jealous because none of them think your brain is worthy of eating.

  24. Re:The Real Reason.... on Major Carriers Shun Broadband Stimulus · · Score: 2, Informative

    The people at the Ford Motor Company would love to know what on earth you're talking about.

  25. Re:Sure they do! on NASA's Cashflow Problem Puts Moon Trip In Doubt · · Score: 3, Funny

    I've been waiting for them to make Capricorn 2 for years. I mean they sort of implied it when they called the first one Capricorn 1. Of course, I hear O.J. Simpson won't be available for filming this time.
