  1. Re:Worst Languages Ever on Official Kanji Count Increasing Due To Electronics · · Score: 1

    Really, why have three sets of script/alphabet/glyphs?

  2. Re:I wonder... on Stem Cell Tourists Take Costa Rica Off the Agenda · · Score: 1

    You know, things don't sort out into nice mutually exclusive groups like that. Say I'm a MD/PhD stem cell researcher with some ideas I believe has good potential, why not offer them to those who wish to try, the proceed will further my research, which requires lots of funding, including a cozy lifestyle for me, because happy me will do a better research/treatment...

  3. PHP frameworks on CodeIgniter 1.7 Professional Development · · Score: 1

    How crappy can they all be that a new one pops up every other week?

  4. Re:not motivated by money? on Mark Zuckerberg, In It To Change the World? · · Score: 0, Troll

    The insolence. Dr. Evil has a principle. The evil principle. Zucker? The kid is merely a money-grubbing troll.

    God damn it. I said to forget my comments. Go away.

    Damn. Never mind. Let's just assume I didn't comment on this story. :)

    Ok, wise guy. For a given distance, you either save half or a third of the gas. Where do you get "5 times"?

  8. MBA math on 2 In 3 Misunderstand Gas Mileage; Here's Why · · Score: 1

    How does the difference between a factor of two vs. a factor of 1.5 translate into "5 times"? Some kind of crazy "MBA math"? ;-)

  9. Re:Enough with the "Proof" on Studies Prove BPA Can Cross Placenta To Fetuses · · Score: 1

    That word bugs me, too, especially coming from people supposedly educated in science.

  10. Re:Flow of Information on Turkey Has Reportedly Banned Google · · Score: 1, Informative

    Shut up, douchebag. It's the same gov't that kept military "deep state" in check, implemented many "Western" policies that EU asked for, and managed to bring the crazy inflation under control.

    The recent anti-Jew theatre is getting out of hand, though. Turkey and Israel have been close trading and military allies for many years.

  11. Makes sense on Why Some Supermassive Black Holes Have Big Jets · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Big dudes fart mega nasty.

  12. Jebus! on Qualcomm Ships Dual-Core Snapdragon Chipsets · · Score: 1

    Someone should put a package together for tiny and quiet PC/set-top/file server setup.

  13. Re:Well, shit on Caffeine Addicts Get No Additional Perk, Only a Return To Baseline · · Score: 1

    Might as well. Teeth are overrated.

    Weird, strange, sick, twisted, eerie, godless, evil stuff.

    And I want in.

  16. My business model fails! on Apple Blindsides More AppStore Developers · · Score: 5, Informative

    Sucks to be you. Don't write for iStuff.

  17. Re:What... on GCC Moving To Use C++ Instead of C · · Score: 1

    Sup, DAWG! We heard... wait, who called me?

  18. Re:Excited! on Chameleon-Like Behavior of Neutrino Confirmed · · Score: 3, Funny

    Depends. Are they German or Japanese?

  19. Re:What if... on Chameleon-Like Behavior of Neutrino Confirmed · · Score: 2, Funny

    All you wise guys think this is funny, but what if it turns out to be true? Huh?!

  20. Re:I thought -I- was a nerd.... on Chameleon-Like Behavior of Neutrino Confirmed · · Score: 2, Insightful

    We've been observing only a third of neutrinos from the sun, and the speculation was that the rest were oscilliating into others not being detected, and that would be possible if neutrinos had mass, and that means one or the other symmetries in the standard model needs to be tweaked, and so on.

    Get it? No, I don't get it either, but I'm no physicists.

  21. Dang on Foxconn Workers Getting Raise With Apple Subsidies · · Score: 4, Funny

    I wish my coworkers jumped off the building.

    Nah, it's just load of nonsense ... I remember vague sense of disgust at oh-so-fashionable "craft" beer snob ... yeah, never mind. Cheers. :)
