  1. Re:Ubuntu Bleeding Edge Features Ready for Prime T on Ubuntu 9.10 Officially Released · · Score: 1

    I'm sure the increasing dependence on Mono will fix all the problems.

  2. Oblig. on Thermonuclear Reactor To Use Coconut Shells · · Score: 1

    1. Coconuts
    2. ???
    3. Nuclear Fusion!

  3. Re:Now THAT is an electric car. on Tesla Roadster Breaks Distance Record For Electric Car · · Score: 1

    311 miles only if you don't use the audio system, or the heater, or the A/C, or the cruise control, or the power steering, or the wipers, or the headlights, or...

  4. Environmental pressure on Discovery of "Cancer-Proof" Rodent Cells · · Score: 1

    If you're constantly exposed to cancerous substances by sadistic humans in white lab coats, your decendants would obviously develop a resistance to cancer!

  5. Re:Shitty Summary and Article on Ubuntu "Karmic Koala" RC Hits the Streets With Windows 7 · · Score: 1

    Sadly, an ever-more accurate blurb for Ubuntu is: "Now with even more Mono!"

  6. I'd wait on Asus Releases Desktop-Sized Supercomputer · · Score: 1

    and see what the Iixians come out with.

  7. Good Luck on Asus Releases Desktop-Sized Supercomputer · · Score: 1

    with that xorg.conf file.

  8. Re:Sounds good to me on Some Users Say Win7 Wants To Remove iTunes, Google Toolbar · · Score: 1

    That's just a cop out. Quality software can be written for any platform provided the developer puts in the effort to make a quality product.

    Assuming of course, there are no deeply-hidden, undocumented performance tricks conjured up by the platforms' maker.

  9. Anyone else on AU Classification Board To Censor Mobile Apps · · Score: 1

    instantly wonder what kind of shoes Donald McDonald wears?

    One ticket to Karmic Hell, please.

  10. And to further the paranoid flames on Sequoia Voting Systems Source Code Released · · Score: 1

    I'm assuming the same folks who would provide a jury-rigged voting database would also provide the jury-rigged program to 'verify' the hash sums, right? Or just a shiny, happy button on a form for a clueless county poll worker to click and be rewarded with MsgBox("Everything's Okey-Dokey!").

  11. Seems very fitting on Sequoia Voting Systems Source Code Released · · Score: 1

    that this story in my RSS feed is followed by a Newsmax AdSense blurb asking: "Like Palin? Vote Here Now!".

    On a much more sober note, do websites have no say into what is allowed to show in AdSense? Especially if it makes them appear as nothing more than money-grubbing hypocrites? Yes, yes, 'Adblock', etc. - that's missing the point - how about those on work computers with no permission to block such dreck?

  12. Simple on Legal War For WA State Sunshine Law · · Score: 1

    Both are about societal command and control.

  13. The CIA: Preserving your freedoms on CIA Invests In Firm That Datamines Social Networks · · Score: 1

    by eliminating them.

  14. Anyone else on Electro-Scalpel "Sniffs Out" Tumors · · Score: 1

    instantly flash on the board game Operation?

  15. Re:Worrying precedent on In the UK, a Few Tweets Restore Freedom of Speech · · Score: 1

    note to non-UK readers, there is no UK constitution to protect free speech

    brIin light of this event, it's about time for one.

  16. Oh, can you feel it? on FBI Bringing Biometric Photo Scanning To North Carolina, Via DMV · · Score: 1

    Just feel all that freedom! Thanks for knowing what's best for me, Ghost of J Edgar Hoover!!

  17. Re:Analysis of Miguel's article on De Icaza Responds To Stallman · · Score: 1

    But Microsoft is not a "someone",

    Sadly, in the twisted and occasionally goofy US legal system, corporations are considered a 'someone'.

  18. Re:Analysis of Miguel's article on De Icaza Responds To Stallman · · Score: 1

    Now, de Icaza seems to be more of a bridge builder than a bridge burner and is looking for in roads into Microsoft.

    That makes him the worst kind of aparatchik: an idealistic aparatchik.

  19. Re:Non-human model systems on Common Diabetic Drug Fights Cancer Stem Cells · · Score: 1

    Allow me to remove my tinfoil hat long enough to point out Big Pharma companies make a helluva lot more money off maintenence drugs (i.e., consumers as permanent 'addicts') than they ever could from selling a cure. An unreasonable stance, you say? Then name me five non-exotic diseases for which Big Pharma has provided actual cures. I'll wait.

  20. In a way on Scientists Decry "Horrifying" UK Border Test Plan · · Score: 1

    I wouldn't mind if I dropped dead today, as the future is gonna suck. Everywhere. I used to really enjoy reading about the advancements of science and technology, but now today's geek playtoy is tomorrow's tool of oppression. Truly sad to realize that all Western governments where merely waiting for the costs to drop and the effectivness to go up before perverting all these amazing technologies and scientific breakthroughs to impose a police state in all facets but name.

  21. Unintended consequences on Synthetic Sebum Makes Slippery Sailboats · · Score: 1

    Synthetic Dandruff.

  22. Re:I don't understand the obsession... on New Phoenix BIOS Starts Windows 7 Boot In 1 Second · · Score: 1

    Because comparing Junk size just left everyone depressed.

  23. Re:BIOS on New Phoenix BIOS Starts Windows 7 Boot In 1 Second · · Score: 1

    ...they'll suffer one heck of a beeting everytime

    That sounds both painful and distasteful.

  24. Timing on Senate To Reconsider Wiretap Immunity · · Score: 1

    Isn't it interesting that on the eve of just looking at the issue, the FBI is announcing bombing plots in seemingly every major US city? It may just be coincidence, but it feels like every time the power toys of the security organs are threatened, out come leaks about 'ongoing investigations'. One would have thought a political FBI died with J Edgar Hoover, but sadly no.

  25. Re:Afghanistan in....what? on 250-Foot Hybrid Airship To Spy Over Afghanistan · · Score: 1

    That's just the 'Spoiler Alert' protection kicking in.
