  1. Prestige on Conference Board Admits Plagiarism, Pulls Copyright Report · · Score: 1

    Previous story/ies decorated the Conference Board of Canada with "prestigious". In which circle does the prestige hold sway?

    Nothing worse than sensitive nerds. There goes my breakfast.

  3. Re:Pavement on Painting The World's Roofs White Could Slow Climate Change · · Score: 1

    You must be in the Northern California.

    Here in the South, we get 4 seasons: drought, flood, riot, and earthquake.

    We'll squeeze the white color out of white baby seal's fur, top that off with the white pigments from dirty hippies' soy milk stash.

    It's a delight to the Mercedes mechanics as well. :-)

  7. Re:Eclipse on What Free IDE Do You Use? · · Score: 3, Informative

    Language-sensitive reference search sold me on Eclipse. No more recursive grepping through the source tree. That was years ago, and now all IDEs seem to have that and more in varying capacity.

  8. Re:Re-branding on Virus Tamed To Attack Cancer, Cancer Drugs To Treat Alcoholism · · Score: 1

    That ain't funny - it's god damn insightful.

  9. Re:Doesn't matter on Don't Panic, It's Towel Day! · · Score: 1

    Smart move. Sometimes there is no point holding onto your towel - if you know what I mean. Throw in the towel and make them happy, I say.

  10. Re:Scary on North Korea Conducts Nuclear Test · · Score: 1

    I saw that Apple commercial. The other deer says "I'm a Mac".

  11. Re:Dogism on Should We Just Call Dog Breeds a Different Species? · · Score: 1

    Epiphanny: Blinding bolt of mental lightening, as in

    I used to fuck anything that moved, but then I thought, "Why limit myself?" Movement is overrated.

  12. Re:All look same to me on Google Earth Raises Discrimination Issue In Japan · · Score: 1

    The dirty Finns send them off on the first ship and that's how they ended up in Japan. They used to have telephone sanitation monopoly, but fell into hard time because public phones got eliminated.

  13. Re:Reasons on Google Earth Raises Discrimination Issue In Japan · · Score: 1

    That's because you're a lazy bum. Would that few extra syllabble kill you?

  14. Re:Home econ even... on The Case For Working With Your Hands · · Score: 1

    "They make us great engineers, but they completely skip over the parts of how to be good, well rounded human beings."

    They are schools, not your parents. That of course leads to two-earner household issues ...

  15. Sanjaya? on Obama Taps Charles Bolden To Lead NASA · · Score: 1

    Screw sanjaya. But tell us what that thing is.

  17. Re:I have to say I'm a little frustrated.... on Pentagon Seeks a New Generation of Hackers · · Score: 2, Insightful

    There isn't much theoretical underpinning on system security, so it doesn't fit into academia, although that never stopped b-schools mushrooming.

  18. Re:Great marketing on Infrared Fibers Can Protect Against Chemoterrorism · · Score: 1

    It does have that stench, doesn't it.

    This will be the year of Linux netbook. We'll take whatever we can get.

  23. Beware on Cory Doctorow Draws the Line On Net Neutrality · · Score: 3, Funny

    "Then, a search for "Angelina Jolie nude" resulted in Wolfram|Alpha isn't sure what to do with your input. Hmmmmm."

    Useless crap.

  25. Re:No batteries = on HP Recalls 70,000 Laptop Batteries · · Score: 1

    I rather blame HP than Chinese manufacturers. Whether HP sources from China or Mars is entirely HP's issue - it's sold by HP, not by the Chinese.

    So. Sony - kaboom. Dell - kaboom. HP - kaboom.

    Interestingly, I have been using ThinkPads for years, and now it's a Chinese brand and so far no kaboom.
