  1. Battlestar Galactica on Microsoft Warns of Windows 7 Graphics Flaw · · Score: 1

    "This has happened before and will happen again."

  2. Usual Suspects on UC Berkeley Asking Incoming Students For DNA · · Score: 1

    The first campus sexual assault case after this plan is implemented will show the true colors of this University in particular and California in general (though after Apple easily ordered jackboots to kick in the door of a journalists' home, I'm not holding my breath).

  3. Funniest part on Foldit Player May Have Created a Useful Protein · · Score: 0

    The funniest part is people assuming this will end up being a cure. Big Pharma has no interest in cures, just mildly effective maintenance drugs one has to keep purchasing in perpetuity.

  4. Re:Nuke it. on Gulf Oil Spill Nearing Loop Current · · Score: 1

    Ill-tempered mutated sea bass?

    Something far, far worse: a sequel to Cloverfield.

  5. Head on a swivel on The Pirate Bay Sinks And Swims · · Score: 1

    Watch your back; Disney has had people killed for less threatening ideas.

  6. Obviously on Google Stops Ads For "Cougar" Sites · · Score: 1

    the MILF syndicate got to Google.

  7. Wake the neighbors on Seagate Confirms 3TB Hard Drive · · Score: 1

    When a disk that big crashes, it will probably set off nearby car alarms.

  8. Problem is on California Moves To Block Texas' Textbook Changes · · Score: 1

    California is in nearly as bad an economic shape as Greece; they may not have enough money even to do book reviews. That leaves the US Department of Education, but I bet they won't touch the issue as it would be a perfect gift-wrapped present to Republicans throughout their spectrum ("Commie Muslims taking away local control of our schools!!!").

  9. Re:1984 on Texas Schools Board Rewriting US History · · Score: 1

    This also explains how the odd occasional Democrat is elected Governor in Kansas; the Republicans frequently split their votes between their far-right and their omfg-beyond-the-curvature-of-the-earth extreme right wings.

  10. Coming Soon on Hacking Automotive Systems · · Score: 1

    Norton Security for OBDC II!!

  11. Re:"Kills" on Microsoft Kills Support For XP SP2 · · Score: 1

    MS bludgeons XPSP2 to death like a small defenseless kitten.

    No, no; you're thinking of the process used to make Service Packs.

  12. Closed casket on Cheap Cancer Drug Finally Tested In Humans · · Score: 1

    But keeping the casket closed requires bolts or boom chains.

  13. Gotta love AdSense on Matplotlib For Python Developers · · Score: 1

    The ad attached to this story's RSS summary is for reptile cages.

  14. Reminds me of a business plan on Genetic Testing Coming To a Drugstore Near You · · Score: 1

    I've always thought about: Walk-in MRI clinics. Show up with say, $100 and we'll throw you in a machine and give you a DVD of the ONLY copies of the images - after you sign a waver absolving us of all responsibilities about what the images mean, leaving the analysis to you and your doctor(s).

    Of course I suspect all doctors would refuse to even look at the images, let alone analyise them, as they didn't get their beak wet from the clinic profits or insurance overcharges. Plus the AMA would probably muscle all the Federal and state regulators to shut down the idea before it got started. All in the interest of the patient, of course. /sarcasm

  15. Odd timing on Apple Loses Another 4th-Gen iPhone · · Score: 1

    A report out today of another Foxconn worker committing suicide, following on one earlier in the week: http://www.manufacturing.net/article.aspx?id=256282
    Maybe this one actually was swiped instead of just lost like the first. Another 'overzealous' Foxconn investigation perhaps?

  16. Are they sure it's the same planet? on Jupiter Is Missing a Belt · · Score: 1

    It was hidden behind the sun for a while.
    Just sayin'.

  17. Re:A La Carte on The Telcos' Secret Anti-Net Neutrality Strategy · · Score: 1

    If you have to ask...

  18. Re:What could on Bill Gates Funds Seawater-Spraying Cloud Machines · · Score: 1

    In addition, when water is in the form of CLOUDS, it COOLS the planet.

    Yeah, you know, like Venus.

  19. Um, Mr. Gates? on Defense Chief Urges Big Cuts In Military Spending · · Score: 1

    You might want to stick to civilian transport for a while.

    ...just sayin'

  20. That and on Arizona Backs Off Its Speed Camera Program · · Score: 1

    the spy plane monitoring cell phone calls that just one station reported on, which then withdrew the story and later denied the story had ever existed.

  21. Re:News for nerds. on How Do You Handle Your Keys? · · Score: 1

    I always wondered what happened to Schnieder.

  22. Simple answer on Pressure Mounts On ICANN To Approve .xxx Domain · · Score: 1

    to all religions, sexual freedom means the total loss of controlling and subjigating women. Name me one major religion that does not have misogyny as a core principal.

  23. 42 on Mayan Plumbing Found In Ancient City · · Score: 1

    why did their civilization suddenly die out?

    They unwisely got rid of all the telephone sterilizer technicians.

  24. How is this surprising? on Oracle Restricts Access To Sun Firmware Downloads · · Score: 1

    Larry Ellison is the biggest jerk in the tech sector! By contrast, he makes the rest of that sociopathic coven appear almost human.

  25. Tangential on Apple May Face Antitrust Inquiry · · Score: 1

    If I were King of the World, I would ban the practice of any retail pricing ending in '.99'. Round up, you mothers, or up against the wall.
