  1. Oblig. on Cisco Offices Raided, Execs Arrested In Brazil · · Score: 2, Funny

    Oh, Pancho!

  2. Once we are all in chains on Homeland Security's Tech Wonders · · Score: 3, Insightful

    then we will all be free.

  3. In MS's defense on MS Responds To Vista's Network / Audio Problems · · Score: 1

    they only check the legality of each whole and half note, but not the quarter notes.

  4. Games on How Would You Refocus Linux Development? · · Score: 1

    Establish and fully fund a gaming house to create truly fabulous games that only run in native Linux (on both PCs and reformatted consoles). Hire the best in business (as Kane hired the entire staff of his rival newspaper). Establish full ride CS/Gaming scholarship competitions at the High School and Junior High School levels. Honestly, with the exception of timid, hide-bound corporations, the only thing keeping Windows relevant now -is- the gaming platform. Yes, massive company installs of Office and Exchange matter in the short term. But even the most corpulent, clueless institutions must have a constant influx of new, young employees. If those young ones have a platform (Linux) that finally satisfies all their personal computing needs (read: games), then those that rise up through the company ranks will make sure the MS dominance slowly withers away. I think this is what makes Ballmer wake up screaming in a cold sweat - and why MS is willing to loose so much money on the Xbox 360 and even do the right thing regarding the red ring of death.

  5. IIRC on Sony Runs Walkman Off Sugar-Based Bio Battery · · Score: 1

    sugar burns, so this fits right into Sony's tech.

  6. Nah on Antigua May Be Allowed To Violate US Copyrights · · Score: 1

    Don't forget the matching propaganda campaign, with thrillers like: Saving Private Ryan's Copyright, James Bond: Dr. No...Not Iraq - Bomb Antigua, and We're Out Of Bourne Books But Here's Matt Damon Asking You To Please Bomb Antigua Anyway...
    I'll just wait for the books - plus they'll be cheaper if you order them on AMantiguAZON.com
  7. Re:So... on A Non-Toxic, Paper Battery / Supercapacitor · · Score: 1

    No, you still get a paper cut, but it's instantly cauterized.

  8. U-verse, on Batteries the Focus of AT&T Investigation · · Score: 1

    Blew-verse; it's all good.

  9. I'm pretty certain the answer to on Optical Solution For an NP-Complete Problem? · · Score: 1

    If a salesman starts at point A, and if the distances between every pair of points are known, what is the shortest route which visits all points and returns to point A?
    involves stopping off to visit lonely wives - probably the lonely wives of optical researchers.
  10. In related news... on Rare Meteor Event to Inform on Dangerous Comets · · Score: 1

    Meteorologists predict overnight cloud cover for September 1st, 2007, everywhere.

  11. Deeply concerned on Diebold Voting Machines Vulnerable to Virus Attack · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    about the upcoming elections. If the GOP looses the White House and the Democrats keep or increase their hold on Congress, a lot of the Bush Administration (including the top two) could end up in PMITA prison once their crimes are exposed. Given that motivation, they will stop at nothing to win, including a False Flag scenario. Plus, after their success in Ohio 2004, electronic vote tampering is child's play to them.

  12. In unrelated news on Surveillance Camera Network Coming To New York? · · Score: 2, Funny

    plain, nondescript hoodies to be the new hot fashion in the Big Apple!!

  13. This study brought to you on HP to Researchers, 'Our Printers Are Safe' · · Score: 1

    by your friends in the Inkjet Industry.

  14. NBC Voyuerism on Dateline NBC Mole Outed At DefCon · · Score: 4, Insightful

    There is something deeply disturbing about this trend that NBC is spearheading. It is sick and twisted in itself to want to watch and see (AND BAIT) the 'scum of the earth' that are arrayed against You and Your CHILDREN!!! You know where the children are most safe from crime? Police States. And sadly, there are so many stupid, scared people in this country who make that deal in a heartbeat. Provided they are still regailed by entertaining tales of cruelty, sadism, and murder.

    "They Thought of The Children" will be carved on the tombstones of free societies.

  15. I can only hope on University of Kansas Will Not Forward RIAA Letters · · Score: 1

    that my alma mater further upriver will also do the right thing. But in between the country music, rodeo, and ga-ga love Richard Meyers, it will be only a dream.

  16. Re:Are we sure this helps? on Change Google's Background Color To Save Energy? · · Score: 1

    I don't think changing the colour to white changes the power draw significantly.
    Perhaps, but taking the 'u' out of color would save megawatts in key clicks.
  17. Wasn't it the EU? on Search Sites Unveil Privacy Plans · · Score: 5, Insightful

    "The rush to improve privacy policies was started by Google in March when it announced it would start deleting the final parts of the individual address it collects from each user's computer after 18 months..."
    Umm, wasn't it because the EU forced Google to change their policies?

    I certainly hope the AskEraser turns out to be solid as I would switch for good, but I'm prepared to be disappointed.
  18. A disruptive technology on Harvesting Energy from the Human Body · · Score: 2, Funny

    This could kill the joke that features the punchline: "No Doc I don't want you to remove it, I just want you to change the batteries."

  19. Re:Social Anxiety on MIT Finds Cure For Fear · · Score: 1

    That could be a boon to many, many pharmaceutical companies
    There; fixed it for you.
  20. Natch on Nicotine Is the New Wonder Drug · · Score: 1

    It may also hold the key to curing 'Lung Fever'.

  21. Probing Questions on Instrumented GIMP To Identify Usability Flaws · · Score: 1

    "The project hopes to answer questions such as 'What is the typical monitor resolution of a GIMP user?' and 'Is the GIMP used primarily for photo editing or drawing?'"


    Plus the biggie: "How many effing times is this a-hole gonna photoshop a picture of a rabbit with a pancake on it's head?"
  22. Re:And yet... on Granny Sues RIAA Over Unlicensed Investigator · · Score: 2, Interesting

    If they had a paypal account, I'd throw them some cash for helping her fight the forces of evil.

  23. Third alternative on Sony Develops Fluid-Filled Bags For Hard Disks · · Score: 0

    'The liquid used could be water or silicon oil,' Or in the case of Sony: Snake.

  24. Finally! on Cryptography To Frustrate Printer-Ink Piracy · · Score: 0

    Finally someone is thinking about how to help the poor printer companies and their hard-scrabble, hand-to-mouth existences! If this can raise the cost of printer ink to twice the cost of human blood, maybe they can afford to feed their own children again.

  25. Re:The #1 rule of being in public on Spy Drones Take to the Sky in the UK · · Score: 0

    File as double-plus-good loyal citizen. For now.
