  1. Re:Orbit? Check - Moon Mission? Mars? on SpaceX's Dragon Module Successfully Re-Enters · · Score: 1

    Well then; just stick to whaling.

  2. Typo on World's Largest Patent Troll Fires First Salvo · · Score: 2

    Intellectual Vultures

  3. Churchil paraphrased on Beating Censorship By Routing Around DNS · · Score: 1

    The US a terrible example of a world power - except the others are far worse.

  4. Umm on OpenLeaks — 'A New WikiLeaks' · · Score: 1

    how do you separate the wheat (truth) from the chaff (lies) if your vilified 'middleman' doesn't verify that submissions are not total BS that even Fox News would hesitate to spew?

  5. Or to title it more succintly on Stuxnet Still Out of Control At Iran Nuclear Sites · · Score: 1

    The Coder Who Came in from the Cold.

  6. Rather on US To Host World Press Freedom Day · · Score: 1

    Except the news organisations have been picking and choosing for greatest dramatic effect/"reader interest" i.e. publishing the cables that are most likely to have a destablising effect on world politics.

    ...and ignoring those cables that would be embarassing to their corporate owners and banker pals.

  7. Re:Induced pluripotent stem on Team Use Stem Cells to Restore Mobility in Paralyzed Monkey · · Score: 1

    So would the Jackass franchise.

  8. Much more likely on Doubling of CO2 Not So Tragic After All? · · Score: 1
    Hopefully reports like this are taken as good news not fuel for the skeptics and deniers. Good news because we have a better chance and perhaps more time at managing with increased CO2.

    Much more likely this will be used as justification to turn coal-fired electricity production up to 11.

  9. Patton Oswalt on George Lucas to Resurrect Dead Movie Stars? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    has an entertaining bit about traveling back in time to 1978 and beating Lucas to death with a shovel. This is just adding fuel to the 'build a time machine' fire.

  10. Re:Make it static. on WikiLeaks Starts Mass Mirroring Effort · · Score: 1

    Since when were we supposed to consider the government and/or giant corporations our friend(s)?

    Since the last TV commercial. Pay attention!

  11. Consumer Reports on Rear-View Cameras On Cars Could Become Mandatory In the US · · Score: 1

    every read their car reviews? Among the most important features in a car to them is rear-ward visibility, which they almost always determine to be 'poor'. I imagine if they were given a car to review with no top, trunk, or rear fenders, they would deem the rear-ward visibility as 'marginally adequate'. No doubt in my mind; a large CS donor or very senior staff member either backed over a child or suffered this happening to them. A tragedy to be sure, but it definitely over-colors their reviews. But if they're that safety-conscious, why do they even review the occasional 911?

  12. Maybe on Kentucky Announces Creationism Theme Park · · Score: 1

    Maybe it's finally time to Divide that House...

  13. Awww on A Third of World's Spam From One Russian Man · · Score: 1

    I was expecting some Guild of Calamitous Intent action in this scene.

  14. Again let me take a wiiiild guess on House Passes TV Commercial Volume Bill · · Score: 1

    Political ads will be exempt as 'free speech', right?

  15. Still on NASA Confirms Discovery of Organism With Phosphorus-Free DNA · · Score: 1

    It replaces MOST phosphorus atoms with arsenic, but not all.

    Still, that reduction is just what I'm looking for in my active lifestyle (Ask your Doctor to be sure).

  16. Re:Morons on Sahara Solar To Power Half the World By 2050 · · Score: 1

    Sandstorm + Solar Array = ???

    = a SyFy schlock movie in 3...2...

  17. You forgot one aspect on FCC To Vote On Net Neutrality On December 21 · · Score: 1

    most federal and state prisons (and their fat payrolls) are located in the most rock-ribbed, reddest states/counties. Remoting the mostly minority prisoners far, far away from their families is just a nice, racist bonus.

  18. Scarlet Letter 2.0 on Race On To Fingerprint Phones, PCs · · Score: 1

    The village elders are about to break their buckled hats and shoes out of storage. Some think the most precious future resource will be potable water. Nope: it will be true anonymity.

  19. Because on Sarah Palin 'Target WikiLeaks Like Taliban' · · Score: 1

    she is the first and only (R) anyone has ever fantasized about doing.

    I reiterate: fantasized

  20. Heisenberg Uncertainty on Aussie Government Competition To Predict Commute Times · · Score: 1

    Their measurements will alter what they are attempting to measure. Announcing 'that route is gridlocked, use this route' merely results in two gridlocked routes.

  21. I don't understand why on WikiLeaks Will Unveil Major Bank Scandal · · Score: 1

    bothering to 'pre-announcing' leaks that threaten huge power structures such a corrupt banks (redundancy warning). No better way to get yourself got. Just release the data without the grandstanding - unless their real motivation really is nothing but attention-whoring.

  22. Wow on DDoS Attack On Wikileaks Increasing · · Score: 1

    and try suspected rapist Julius Assange

    Just go on and convict him, subbie.

  23. Re:The only free market is the black market on Level 3 Shaken Down By Comcast Over Video Streaming · · Score: 1

    Alternatively, look at scientific journals.

    If I'm a Comcast / Netflix subscriber, I'll have no other choice!

  24. The Family Jewels on Google Faces EU Probe Over Doped Search Results · · Score: 1

    this will end with the EU forcing Google to fully expose their search algorithms. Mainly for being a dominant US company*, if for no other reason.

    * - not named Apple of course, which is exempt from mere human regulation.

  25. Move to the US on Apple Sues Steve Jobs Figurine Maker Over Likeness · · Score: 1

    where Parody is protected free speech.
