  1. SETI@Home produced results! on First Pulsar Discovery By an @Home Project · · Score: 1

    Remember the guy that retrieved his stolen laptop because it kept searching for aliens even when under the thief's possession!!!

  2. Re:No, I don't on Google CEO Schmidt Predicts End of Online Anonymity · · Score: 1

    Are you referring to the china man!?
    Or the Asian american that did NOT build the railroads!

  3. Nefarious Indeed on Market Data Firm Spots the Tracks of Bizarre Robot Trading · · Score: 1

    Doesn't seem to me that it is just "bizarre". Whenever someone is doing something "for no reason", look other way! Seems some kind of ninja smoke for me. Maybe there are even thousands of bots that are trading normally but we don't notice. The real thing is that if you control a LOT of this bots you can suddenly begin to drive the trade market to where you feel like.
    Anyway, didn't RTFA yet..

  4. Sweet toe on Dog Eats Man's Toe and Saves His Life · · Score: 1

    I was wondering... did anyone ask the dog whether the toe was sweet? I could bet it was.. ice cream sweet!

  5. Posted by AHuxley? on Denials Aside, Feds Storing Body Scan Images · · Score: 2, Funny

    Shouldn't the poster be GOrwell? Wouldn't it be even more appropriate!

  6. Re:Wrong? on Prankster Jailbreaks Apple Store Display iPhone · · Score: 1

    Freaking Funny and Creative? Definetly!

  7. Re:Considering the stink about iPhone4 on An Unprecedented Look At Apple's "Black Labs" · · Score: 1

    That's not the case..
    To put something like that into market they NEED to do extensive testing.
    The thing with apple is that it just wasn't enough testing... so it wasn't AS exhaustive as the one RIM, Nokia or Motorola does.

  8. Re:We all know the ideal language has two function on Google Engineer Decries Complexity of Java, C++ · · Score: 1

    I'd use upper case only. You know, in some exotic environments... displays that can't display lower case letters.. the whole story all again..
    e.g.:
    DO_WHAT_I_WANT()

  9. Re:9/11 ? on Top Secret America · · Score: 1

    november, 2011? Wasn't it supposed to be on 2012?
    Well, as predictions go, the USA vs. England match on the FIFA world cup was a total failure!

  10. Re:im Irish on Irish Gov't Invests In Color-Coded Fiber Optics · · Score: 1

    What are you saying? Earlier this year when I was in Dublin everybody was in parties and drinking a lot.. they seemed happy.

    After all, you guys make GUINNESS! You should be rich! Flaming geniuses!

  11. Re:Important Questions on Microsoft Shows Off 'Milo' Virtual Human · · Score: 1

    What if I delete him?

    Morpheus: The body cannot live without the mind.

  12. Again, meticulously crafted headlines! on NASA Launches Moonbase Alpha · · Score: 0

    I'm quite sure I wasn't the only one who thought that "Moonbase Alpha" was some kind of serious "we-re going to the moon" project with huge loads of cash being invested in such a cool thing..

    But no!! This is just NASA going into US Army's trend to build free games!
    (not that I'm not very curious about the game, not that I don't find it useful neither that I don't appreciate this news.. it is just that they could have appended a "game" there!!)

  13. At the risk of hurting someone on First Full-Sky Image From Planck Mission · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    "understand better how the Universe came to look the way it does now"
    Am I the only one sick of this kind of justifications? Since the first man pointed the first telescope upwards, we use this "to understand better how our home (universe/galaxy) is".
    Or to better understand the origins of the universe...

    Anyway, all this justifications are true and well intentioned but.. well.. it sounds almost lame to read them all the time.
    And yet, it is better than blaming it on "the children".

    Thanks ESA & Plank Team!

  14. Re:E-Series Nokia or other WiFi-capable Symbian ph on Best Phone For a Wi-Fi-Only Location? · · Score: 1

    Meetoo again (not to confuse with meego).
    That thing about treating skype / google talk (voice/video) / SIP / Cell phone all in the same way is just awesome!
    You'll catch yourself walking on the streets while talking to a friend overseas via gtalk! Wife or HDSPA/3G are great... well.. and apart from all that.. it is linux, not symbian nor android (no, android is not linux.. not anymore!)!!

  15. Re:What company is stupid enough to use this on Google Wave Out of Beta · · Score: 1

    Well.. just insert lots of "\/|aGr/\", "C|aLi5".. "enlarger your.." to the waves you feel carry sensitive information. In this way, your wave will fall into Sergey's spam folder and he'll never notice.
    !!Bang.. and you are planning the next google-killer using google features. Ironic isn't it?

    Now I wonder... did the street view sniffer filtered out spam-like data? For example some non-protected "free wifi" in London's centre?

  16. 3GS, 3DS.. on Nintendo 3DS Early Impressions · · Score: 1

    Ok!? What's next on this earth haunted by lack of creativity? "WiiS", Nexus1S!?
    But please Microsoft.. stay away from ZuneS!

  17. Re:Slow news day? on Rubber Boots Charge Your Phone · · Score: 1

    Yep.. everything that can charge a cell phone (namely an iPhone) turns into news nowadays (even if it takes 100hrs to charge it to last only 2hr).

    I'm even surprised how it is taking so long for people to make up an all-metal, torture-equip-looking gadget that you use with "your partner" while making "love" to seamlessly charge your iPad.

  18. Re:YOU COMMIE SPY! on Claimed US Military Wikileaks Source Arrested · · Score: 1

    After all, this whole thing is not about stealing oil from the Iraquis, it is about fluoridation! And those guys in the van were trying to stop it!
    This is about Peace On Earth!

  19. Re:Evidence on The Men Who Stare At Airline Passengers, Coming To the UK · · Score: 2, Funny

    Wooa!?
    Am I wrong or you are suggesting that we start training dogs to sniff & detect terrorists? Not by detecting explosives or some other chemical, but by detecting their connection with the devil. You know, dogs can can be trained to sniff just about anything these days..

  20. Waste of time yes.. but of good ol' money? on Ballmer Says Microsoft Wasted Time On Vista · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Ok.. that sure was a "waste of time" but microsoft DID get huge loads of money from people buying the SAME software twice!
    For lame windows users that was a waste of their money indeed!

  21. Re:Maybe it's just what we need... on How Bad Is the Gulf Coast Oil Spill? · · Score: 1

    I'd say some terrorist had just that idea... maybe the FBI should go after MpVpRb for some questioning.
    Well, at least this could end up as a good Denzel Washington or 007 movie.

  22. This is all messed up! on ARM-Based Servers Coming In 2011 · · Score: 1

    And will they run OS X? with fancy faboi(ish) desktop effects!!

    What's next? iPhones for as industry machinery controllers?

    I'm off!

  23. Call girls use? on PARC Builds iPod-Sized HIV Detector · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    I can see call girls (or whatever u may call them and the like) having this things to test clients beforehand.. The whole thing will turn into a mad finger drilling paranoia!
    Or worse... Picture dads testing their daughter's 15 y.o. boyfriend and saying:
    "Are you afraid?! Do you have something to hide?!!!"

    Not to mention that I miss using libraries of the congress and needles' heads as spatial units.. now.. an iPod?! that's lame!

  24. So 2010 on Is Microsoft About To Declare Patent War On Linux? · · Score: 1

    So, after all the waiting, will this be the year of Linux on the judge's desktop!?

  25. Re:Could it be? on Simpler "Hello World" Demonstrated In C · · Score: 1

    =/
    I thought it was only me!!
    I'm totally in love!

    What am I doing wrong with my life so that I don't even know her?! pretty much everything probably!
