    Whats with morons bringing up the poverty side of things everytime a scientific achievement of India is brought up? ...

    Not just about India. There are blockheads everywhere. If you develop a cure for cancer, these same morons would admonish you for not spending the effort to cure diabetes instead.

  5. Re:Lines of Code on Linux Kernel Surpasses 10 Million Lines of Code · · Score: 1

    Exactly. The better metric would be how many Libraries of Congress the kernal is.

    Let's not get carried away with LoC. Bag of tortilla (BoT) is the better unit for kernel.

  6. 2+2 on Wikipedia's New Definition of Truth · · Score: 3, Funny

    "Even 2+2 is 4 only if everyone agrees". Sum like that.

    do the patriotic thing and buy a domestic american wind immersion pc

    Don't fall for that. That's a Taiwanese astroturfer. There is no domestic american wind immersion pc.

    The super burrito lunch is a weapon of creativity destruction.

    Australia, eh?! Come back when you have a real country. I mean, Canada laugh at your ass. That's the Canada with maple syrup. You know, the bunch that think ham is bacon.

    I suspect it's how Sarah Palin jokes are strung together that is the new medium. they're ubiquitous and cannot be stopped by any force known to mankind.

    Yep. Our only hope is the womankind.

    Come to think of it, man, that's true in so many ways.

  14. Re:To Mr. Allgood and P&G on Appropriate Tech, 300mpg Car Top 2008 Innovators · · Score: 1

    How about the developing countries lacking potable water supply? P&G manages to sell its share of soaps, shampoos, whatnot in many such markets, I think.

  15. Re:Good luck with that on EFF Sues To Overturn Telecom Immunity · · Score: 1

    In a revolution is it better to have guns, or to have the knowledge to make guns?

    Depends on tax and shipping charge.

  16. To Mr. Allgood and P&G on Appropriate Tech, 300mpg Car Top 2008 Innovators · · Score: 1

    Thank you. It's good to hear important and useful innovation from corporate sector for a change. Disturbing that it was not viable in the marketplace, however...

  17. Stop the Insanity!!! on CERN Releases Analysis of LHC Incident · · Score: 5, Funny

    Fools!!! Don't you see? LHC turns on, financial blackhole appears out of nowhere and sucks our banks dry! It's just like in the movies - it's the damned physicists, both at CERN and Wall St. Blood's on your hands, you cretins!

    It also takes longer to boil ramen.

    I don't know what this guy/gal is responding to, but it's insightful all the same. Why can't you mods get it right?!

  19. Re:The other side..... on Paul Krugman Awarded Nobel Prize For Economics · · Score: 1

    Hah, I don't think you're all that far off in social sciences. Key seems to be wrapping it in an accepted formalism.

    Good luck - there are plenty obvious "facts" and it's a nice chunk of cash.

  20. Re:The other side..... on Paul Krugman Awarded Nobel Prize For Economics · · Score: 1

    You are such an Einstein that you can't bring up a single legit criticism of Krugman's trade theory, for which the prize was awarded, while calling him an assclown?

    Your primitive brain reveals itself by your allusions to "you left" vs. "we" ("right" I'm guessing), "socialist" vs. (presumably) "capitalist". Have fun in your linear universe. Hotbed of something alright.

  21. Re:The other side..... on Paul Krugman Awarded Nobel Prize For Economics · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Krugman explained there is more to trade than simple comparative advantage - Japan and Germany don't make and sell cars the world over because engines grow on tree in their soil. That's the work cited for prize.

    Who's the assclown? You, citing intellectually decaying National Review (just hounded out a Buckley, didn't it, any sane one left there?), or Krugman for liking science fiction.

  22. Economics on Paul Krugman Awarded Nobel Prize For Economics · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Economics, a fine scholarly field, is not a science, as much as some economists would like to pretend with their crude algebra and stats.
