  1. Re:Happy Ubuntu-Day, everyone! on Ubuntu 9.04 Released · · Score: 1

    Here, here! You can't spell 'terrorist' without 'torrent'!
    ...
    the n is silent.
    ...
    the s is in a secure undisclosed location

  2. First things first on Ubuntu 9.04 Released · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Remove all Mono-based applications and install MonoNoNo to keep the MS-backed trojan horses out. http://boycottnovell.com/wiki/index.php?title=Mono_Applications

  3. National Institute on Media and the Family on Study Claims 8.5% of Young Gamers "Pathologically Addicted" · · Score: 1

    Gonna go out on a limb and assume their building is in the shape of a giant cross.

  4. Might as well work on this on The Road To Terabit Ethernet · · Score: 1

    seeing as how 802.11n finally been approved and all.

    /sarcasm

  5. Oh, man on Stem Cell Treatment To Cure the Most Common Cause of Blindness · · Score: 1

    The Ixians are going to be pissed.

  6. Way OT, but on Stephen Hawking Is "Very Ill" In Hospital · · Score: 1

    could someone explain to me the origins of this type of different phrasing between American 'in the Hospital' and English 'in Hospital'?

  7. So let's compromise on ISP Capping Is Becoming the New DRM · · Score: 1

    If my ISP restricts me to X GB per billing period, then it can be expressed as $ per GB. Thus if I don't hit my cap, my bill should be reduced by that same rate. That the FCC would allow any ISP to cap their customers without providing the customer a real-time tool of their data usage borders on immorality.

  8. Re:My Optimistic Theory on US Gov. Releases Six Pages On Secret ACTA Pact · · Score: 1

    We regret to inform you Miss Polyanna, but the Obama administration is a far more willing handmaiden to the MAFIAA than the Bushies.

  9. Unintended consequences on New Discovery May End Transplant Rejection · · Score: 1

    "Congratulations on your new heart! You'll have about three months to enjoy it before your addled immune system completely overlooks the next podunk infection or trivial abnormal cell growth."

  10. Shallow Water on Powerful Sonar Causes Deafness In Dolphins · · Score: 1

    Maybe shallow water very near the beach is less affected by sonar. Perhaps that's why a lot of these critters don't seem too interested in being chucked back into the noise by helpful humans.

  11. Riiight on Largest High-Tech Tornado Chase Set To Begin · · Score: 1

    and all this 'research' will again be lovingly recorded and televised on Discovery HD as porn correctly classified as 'it's interesting when people die'. As a native Western Kansan, I would love to see everyone who makes a tired, flippant Dorothy or Toto remark be bound, gagged, and buried alive with the corpse of L. Frank Baum - another non-Kansan.

  12. The miracle of the free market on Microsoft Boasts 96% Netbook Penetration · · Score: 2, Funny

    Oops! I meant bribery and coercion, not free market; I always confuse them.

  13. And all that fast fiber on Australia To Build Fiber-To-the-Premises Network · · Score: 1

    will route through the security organs of the State, packet by packet.

  14. Re:Don't they want people to use Hulu? on Hulu Munging HTML With JS To Protect Content · · Score: 1

    They *want* you to go back to watching regular TV, where the ad revenue is greatest.

    Right after I read today's Denver Post - the paperboy should be by any minute now.

  15. Oblig. on Obamas Give Queen Elizabeth an iPod · · Score: 1

    The Royal Fist Bump.

  16. Re:In related news... on Hints of a Link Between Autism and Vinyl Flooring · · Score: 1

    ...children breath air.
    - OneSmartFellow

    Can't decide: Irony or Vinyl?

  17. Re:I'm confused on NASA Shows Off Mock-Up of Mars-Capable Spacecraft · · Score: 1

    Well, the trailer being pulled by a 1964 Impala didn't help much.

  18. Reject All Google News on Should Google Be Forced To Pay For News? · · Score: 0, Troll

    Months ago, I gave up trolling thru all the Fox propaganda that now feature prominently on Google News. I don't know if Google is in on it or just too stupid to realize, but Fox 'News' has perfected the art of getting their incendiary, lie-filled headlines to pop up on Google News like dandelions in an subprime front yard.

  19. The only way to know for sure on Is That "Sexting" Pic Illegal? A Scientific Test · · Score: 1

    post a risque image of Potter Stewart.

  20. Re:Sanctions overdue on Vast Electronic Spying Operation Discovered · · Score: 2, Interesting

    You mean the guys that could totally kill what's left of our economy just by calling their stock brokers? And don't give me the theory of 'oh, they need us as much as we need them' If they'll roll tanks over student demonstrators, they won't be too threatened by some unemployed factory workers - especially if they buy them off with good unemployment wages from their overflowing coffers.

  21. Re:Need not be said on Texas Vote May Challenge Teaching of Evolution · · Score: 1

    ..."and the sun being a hot thing we orbit."

    Not in my house, you Satanist!

  22. A modest proposal on Kentucky Officials "Changed Votes At Voting Machines" · · Score: 1

    How about we bump up the punishment for election fraud just a smidge - to vivisection.

  23. This is why on 3-D Light System May Revolutionize Fingerprinting · · Score: 1

    I never leave the house without first coating the tips of my fingers in Elmers' Glue.

  24. Re:Energy Independence on National Ignition Facility Fires 192-Beam Pulse · · Score: 1

    Umm...if we truly had limitless energy, we go find what we needed elsewhere: the Moon, the asteroid belt, hell even Mercury. Or I suppose future boffins could get back into the transmutation of matter gig.

  25. Yes, but on National Ignition Facility Fires 192-Beam Pulse · · Score: 1

    That's great and all, but not very helpful when you have religious radical factions tearing nations apart from the inside out. What governs humanity's motivation often goes beyond just the quest of plentiful resources.

    religious extremism flourishes in the harshest of soils. If all, regardless of race, creed, or belief have a comfortable life for themselves and their families, very few will be motivated enough to kill and die - even if they are devout.
