  1. Re:Shaving was the problem. on Referee Recommends Disbarment For Jack Thompson · · Score: 5, Funny

    If you can't kill someone with an electric shaver, you're not trying hard enough.

  2. Re:Troll prophylactic... on 550 Metric Tons of Uranium Removed From Iraq · · Score: 1

    The yellowcake was a lie?

  3. Re:Forensic? on Bavarian Police Can Legally Place Trojans On PCs · · Score: 1

    Well, they need to be able to disable any anti-malware programs that'd stop their intrusion. That's altering data.

  4. Re:What kind of pirates? on G8 Summit Aims To Kill International Piracy · · Score: 1

    War profiteering?

  5. Re:$1,000,000 prize to be collected then if true on Claimed Proof of Riemann Hypothesis · · Score: 1

    Sure it does. Like looking at blueprints to a car, and deciding that it would work. Now someone actually builds a car, and, aside from proving that it works, he can now road trip, and see all the attractions. For Riemann, these attractions are primes that would take a long time to get to otherwise.

  6. Re:Honey, I shrunk the MacBook! on A Video Tour of the MSI Wind and Other Netbooks · · Score: 3, Funny

    So next would be the Compaq Fart?

  7. Re:,,, or undo file corruption? on Microsoft Releases Pre-2007 Binary File Format Specs · · Score: 1

    I've had to reinstall two Macs in the past week. It happens.

  8. Re:Doesn't mean it should be fixed.. on FBI Illegally Tapped Phone Phreaks In 1969 · · Score: 1

    What's your solution? How do you think things should be run? Clearly you think we need to get rid of the two-party system, lawyers, and Senators. What do you think we need to put in its place?

  9. Obama knows bad algorithms! on Algorithm Names Powell 'Ideal' Vice President Candidate · · Score: 1

    Obama knows not to use bubble sort!

  10. Re:Doesn't mean it should be fixed.. on FBI Illegally Tapped Phone Phreaks In 1969 · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Got a citation for that? I'd call trying to keep the PATRIOT Act from getting pressed through the Senate mostly unreviewed a noble act.

    Maybe for you suckers who don't have Feingold.

    Nope, that's Zuul.

  15. Re:First of all on Telecom Immunity Flip-Floppers Got More Telecom Money · · Score: 2, Informative

    We already elected an unqualified individual, and we haven't been seeing a whole lot of limits.

  16. Re:tempted to agree on Drug Reverses Retardation In Mice · · Score: 1

    That doesn't make him dishonest. It doesn't even demonstrate disloyalty to his constituency. It only demonstrates that he doesn't hold the stereotypical Democrat view in all things, apparently including drugs and abortions. I'm fine with that, I don't hold the Democrat view in all things either, specifically drugs and guns.

  17. Re:Cool! on Drug Reverses Retardation In Mice · · Score: 1

    Feingold.

  18. Re:hopelessly outgunned... on Supreme Court Holds Right to Bear Arms Applies to Individuals · · Score: 1

    Sure. Some of these individual citizens might also be licensed for demolitions or pyrotechnics or mining, and bring high explosives with them. Other people might have chemistry degrees, and be able to make their own. Even if they don't, rifles are powerful weapons, and dangerous enough in their own right. The .30-06 my dad uses for deer isn't so different from the ones the Marine Corps. equipped their snipers with in Vietnam.

  19. Re:Thats why... on Crooks Nab Citibank ATM Codes, Steal Millions · · Score: 1

    Neither was Hamilton.

  20. Re:real mobile access points... on Chrysler To Offer Wireless Internet In 2009 Models · · Score: 1

    I think you need to pick a term other than "killer app".

  21. Re:Web surfing drivers...just what we need on Chrysler To Offer Wireless Internet In 2009 Models · · Score: 1

    Yes. You should have assumed that they were not present in the car, and are therefore still alive, as opposed to the makeup applying driver.

  22. Re:Teen drivers will become a nightmare on Chrysler To Offer Wireless Internet In 2009 Models · · Score: 3, Funny

    Road raids?

    I pledge to sneak weapons onto all my plane flights just in case you're in the seat next to me.
