  1. Oblig Portal reference on Jack Thompson Attacks DoD, ESA, GTA With Utah Bill · · Score: 1

    there seems to be merely a bill enhancing the Truth in Advertising Law

    "In accordance with required test protocol, we will stop enhancing the truth in 3, 2, *fzzt*."

  2. Vogons on The Best Fictional Doomsday Devices · · Score: 1

    They hang in the air much in the same way that bricks don't.

  3. Re:What will interest me is on Wine 1.0 — Uncorked After 15 Years · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Not going to happen, sorry. Why is this modded "Offtopic"? It's definitely a response to the parent. Since it doesn't really add anything to the discussion, though, I think that it should instead be -1 Troll. :)
  4. Re:Crash results. on Wearable Motorcycle Design · · Score: 1

    In Soviet Russia, they got really tired of this joke. Oh wait, that was here too.

    And yes, I am aware that in Soviet Russia, I am the joke. Or this joke got really tired of me. Or a joke walking in from of a wearable motorcycle is likely to get tired.

  5. Re:Three wheels = ? on Wearable Motorcycle Design · · Score: 1

    So you're saying that number of wheels has nothing to do with being a motorcycle? I suppose an 18-wheeler is a motorcycle because it has motorized wheels. I'll see if DMV will let me drive one with my motorcycle license.

  6. V.E.N.O.M. on Wearable Motorcycle Design · · Score: 1

    Thanks for the Wikipedia link. I now know that the corniest name for an evil organization is already taken:

    V.E.N.O.M.
    Vicious Evil Network of Mayhem

  7. Re:I love it. on Shape-Shifting Malware Hits the Web · · Score: 1

    Your comment is the only reason that I bothered to RTFA. I feel like I should be rewarded.

  8. Re:Can someone explain what this means? on Shape-Shifting Malware Hits the Web · · Score: 1

    Sweeney believes that a non rules-based monitoring process must be set up to defend all ingress and egress points covering SMTP, DNS, HTTP(s), IM etc.
    Specifically, he believes the best defense would be to make pies out of them. :-)
  9. Re:Geez on Purdue Students Win Rube Goldberg Contest · · Score: 2, Interesting

    If I'm not mistaken, here's an alternate video: YouTubed!

  10. Re:is there any decent non "evil"registrar out the on ICANN Moves Against GoDaddy Domain Lockdowns · · Score: 1
    Further positives for gandi.net:
    1. 1) Wears a loincloth
    2. 2) Makes own salt
    3. 3) ???
    4. 4) Population crisis
  11. Re:Face Bank ? on 10 Cool Gadgets You Can't Get Here · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Is it just me, or does that bank look like the Necronomicon from Evil Dead?

  12. Re:Wait a sec on Daylight Saving Time Wastes Energy · · Score: 1

    What the fuck man? I just wanted to seem 'with it'!

    ...

    *sob*

  13. Re:No that's not American at all on Strict Order Boarding Would Get Planes in the Sky Faster · · Score: 1

    I think more efficient would be to just tranquilize all passengers and quickly have them sorted and loaded into the plane like luggage.
    Chances are, I'd end up on the wrong flight to the wrong country. Then again, if they accidentally send me to Figi, can I enjoy myself while I'm there and sue them when I get back?
  14. Re:Cheat Sheet! No Silverlight Required! on Microsoft Battles Vista Perception With Prizes · · Score: 2, Informative

    Here's the quiz: http://www.microsoft.com/australia/vistafacts/fact.aspx

    I filled it out and will be getting my free shirt sometime. I only filled it out because of curiosity and I want that grand prize. At any rate, a bum should enjoy the free shirt I'll give him.

  15. Re:Curse you Nintendo and your left handedness on Whatever Happened To The Joystick? · · Score: 1

    I actually prefer the 'joystick' to be used by my less dominate hand. Take, for example, Devil May Cry 4, which I have been playing non-stop for the last week. When I'm trying to get the Supreme Super Styling (or whatever) ranking in a battle, I'm moving around with my left-handed thumbstick and using my right hand to bash 5 different buttons in exact sequences with exact timing. In especially long battles like this, my hand is almost cramping, but I'm doing much better than I would be doing if I had to do all of this with my less-dexterous left hand. DMC4 is one example where this left-handed thumbstick makes sense, but there are countless others.

  16. Re:Why Are They Only Targeting Wikipedia on Muslim Groups Attempt to Censor Wikipedia · · Score: 1

    Objectivity is not sensitive to people's feelings. That is exactly what makes it valuable.
    Going further, insensitivity is by itself, not a fault. Human decency does not require me to give a fuck. Open hostility and aggression are a different matter. This is the difference between sensitivity and tolerance.
  17. Re:Sounds familiar on Investors, "Beware" of Record Companies · · Score: 2, Funny

    "Now where have I heard that before... Oh, that's right. SCO. And look where they're at..." Who?

  18. Re:"Illegal and Improper" on Microsoft Withdraws Vista's Kill Switch · · Score: 1

    Just because you choose to interpret something a certain way doesn't make it true.

  19. Re:When "defamation" include the truth? on Wikipedia Wins Defamation Case · · Score: 1

    Better yet, because they went to court, the whole world now knows about their homosexuality. This may also suggest that are imbeciles as well.
