  1. Re:Researchers? on How People Broadcast Their Locations Without Meaning To · · Score: 0

    They may be calling themselves "researchers", but it's pretty obvious they're just a bunch of really creepy dudes.

    How did they know the anonymous feed was a man? They were probably hoping it was a chick, and got pissed that it wasn't and started stalking the guy.

    Doesn't the stalking usually stop once you find out it's not a chick?

  2. Correct me if I'm wrong... on Don't Google "How To Commit Murder" Before Killing · · Score: 0

    But couldn't they have just found these searches in her browser's history? I don't know about MSN's search, but whenever you search for something in Google, the search terms are included in results page's title and url. A simple look at the history would reveal what had been searched for.

    So, always remember to clear out your history after you research how to kill someone......

  5. Re:isotonic drink ... on Woman Killed In Wii-Related Competition · · Score: 1

    I got to ask why can't they (the organisers) supply isotonic sports drink in this sort of competition?

    Simple. Price of water < Price of some type of sports drink.

  6. Bringing new meaning to the term "quick and dirty" on iPhone Not Running OS X · · Score: 1

    Apple can brand toilet paper as running OS X if they like

    I can see it now....

  7. stupid clocks.... on Doomsday Clock To Advance · · Score: 5, Funny
    Where did they get their doomsday clock? On my former planet we got one of those, but we could never figure out how to program it, so it just blinked 12:00.

    ...And our world tragically came to an quick end......

  8. Re:How can I find out more about this "Google"? on Google Tops 100 Best Places To Work · · Score: 1

    Don't you mean THE google? You know, for searching stuff on the internets.

  9. Strange words on Social Network Fatigue Coming? · · Score: 1

    What do all these strange words mean that I'm reading in these threads? "friends"? "social life"? "human interaction"? I'm not familiar with such terms. Maybe there's another /. article around here that explains them....

  10. Three Laws of Robotics on Robots Could Some Day Demand Legal Rights · · Score: 2, Insightful
    Asimov's Three Laws of Robotics

    1. A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
    2. A robot must obey orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
    3. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.

    Even if a robot sued, under law 3, wouldn't it go contrary to laws 2 and 1?

    Robot: I'm suing you master for your injustices! [law 3]
    Human: No you're not.
    Robot: Yes master [law 2]

  11. Burninating the countryside.... on Two-headed Reptile Fossil Found in China · · Score: 1

    Any word on whether or not they've found a reptile with a big beefy arm coming out the back of it's neck?

  12. Re:Legal age on Drinking Alcohol May Extend Your Life · · Score: 1

    So, you're saying those who drink in their teens learn to drink more responsibly because of parental supervision? I don't remember any parents supervising the kids in high school who I knew drank. And I wouldn't exactly call the drinking they did "responsible" either.

  13. Bad websites on Bad Web Sites Can Cause "Mouse Rage" · · Score: 5, Funny

    Oh man, nothing gets me madder then websites that are doing very simple things, but don't work! I bet I've caused more damage throwin' my mouse around than any of those stupid Wii users. Gotta find me a nice sturdy wrist starp for my mouse.

  14. Re:Web sites may have deleterious effects? on Bad Web Sites Can Cause "Mouse Rage" · · Score: 5, Funny
