    Starting now: MD5 sums for every newborn!

  2. This reminds me on $18M Contract For Transparency Website Released — But Blacked Out · · Score: 1

    of a campaign poster parody I saved:

  3. Re:Troll Story on US Colleges Say Hiring US Students a Bad Deal · · Score: 1

    I suspect the submitter walks around with a gun strapped to his thigh and a poster calling for the spilling of tyrants blood.

  4. Re:This is good news on Prehistoric Gene Reawakened To Battle HIV · · Score: 2, Funny

    The Amoeba dubia [wikipedia.org] has more than 200 times the amount of DNA than humans.

  8. The ballot page on Microsoft Drops Windows 7 E Editions · · Score: 1

    Can't help but notice in the two or three screenshots of this ballot page I've seen, IE is situated to be the obvious FIRST choice. Pure happenstance, I'm sure.

  9. Any one else on New HIV Strain Discovered · · Score: 1

    instantly reminded of a certain Ricky Gervais bit?

  10. Waiting for the future picture on RadioShack To Rebrand As "The Shack"? · · Score: 1

    of one of these 'The Shack' stores sitting next to one of 'The Hut'* restaurants.

    * - IIRC, Pizza Hut is conducting the same bizarre obfuscation campaign.

  11. Bonus Points on DHS Pathogen Lab To Be Built In "Tornado Alley" · · Score: 1

    This lab will be within eyesight of Kansas State University's recreation center, basketball coliseum AND football stadium. My Alma Mater was more than willing to receive this blatant pork-barrel largesse that could well have an associated body count. They've been crowing about it in the alumni mag for months now.

  12. Re:Confidentiality and openness aside, so what? on Temperature Data Wants To Be Free · · Score: 1

    I am begging and praying that things turn around again when they're out on their ear.

  15. I'd love it if on English DJ Claims Wi-Fi Allergy · · Score: 1

    some wealthy benevolent reached out to these poor suffering souls and gave them a beautiful Pacific island refuge far away from civilization. A refuge bathed in 5-bar 4G reception and swimming in 802.11everything. Give them a year of blissful delusion before spilling the wireless beans.

  16. And on Stock Market Manipulation By Millisecond Trading · · Score: 1

    something is fundamentally broken in a system that instantly rewards corporate announcements of massive layoffs with equally massive stock buys.
    How many people have suffered (directly and indirectly), how much damage has been done to communities and countries because of the endless bloodlust to 'make the quarter'?

  17. Re:ALARMING! on FOIA Documents Detail iPods Overheating, Catching Fire · · Score: 1

  21. Job One on Can Bill Gates Prevent the Next Katrina? · · Score: 1

    Before mucking about in meat space, Bill and friends need to back the creation of weather / climate modeling that is dead nuts accurate. Once you have about 5 years of 90%+ correct predictions on both the macro / micro levels, then start your 'what if' simulations and see if they pan out or not.

  22. Re:Whoa, they invented the maintenance-free plane? on Eye In the Sky For City Crime Fighting · · Score: 1

    I think the citizens of this town that still care about their privacy should all take turns constantly recording the mayor and his family whenever they are in public. "If he has nothing to hide, why should he care?" /goose meet gander

  23. Hah! on Eye In the Sky For City Crime Fighting · · Score: 1

    'You never know when you are being watched or followed. It would be stupid to commit a crime. You see it with such detail,'
    London (aka New Panopticon City) crime stats say you are a fool, Mr. Mayor.
