  1. Re:wtf? on Cash-Poor Sharp Mortgages Display Factories · · Score: 1

    Indigenous Rainbow Spatulas Dungeon Ponies.

    Wow, that does sound serious; I better RTFA.

  2. Re:The real story here is... on Secret Service Investigating Romney Tax Hack Claim · · Score: 1

    Someone actually thinks bitcoins are worth having.

    Exactly, any self-respecting thief will go straight for lupins, that's a no-brainer.

    Pshh. Real financial security is in Quatloos.

  3. Something something on Quantum Teleportation Sends Information 143 Kilometers · · Score: 1

    "... Wonton Burrito Meals. See you in class, Professor!"

  4. Re:Good facial recognition on Google Awarded Face-To-Unlock Patent · · Score: 1

    but to get to root, you have to do a full sneeze. and I can't always do that on command.

    Get the nose hair plucking app.

  5. Readme.txt on ICS-CERT Warns That Infrastructure Switches Have Hard-Coded Account Holes · · Score: 4, Funny

    "Users are also instructed to pencil-in quotation marks around the word 'SECURE' in all of devices' badges and documentation."

  6. I see on Should We Print Guns? Cody R. Wilson Says "Yes" (Video) · · Score: 1

    Some people can still only achieve happiness with a warm gun. And others could only be happy in a post-apocalyptic world.

  7. Consequence on Australian Attorney General Pushes Ahead With Gov't Web Snooping · · Score: 1

    I can't wait for wikileaks to start posting private info from all the politicans that proposed this bill. ALL YOUR BASE and so on.

    With every Austrailian citizen that reads this info online logged as an Enemy of the State.

  8. Depressing on Networked Cars: Good For Safety, Bad For Privacy · · Score: 1

    The future is going to be nothing but a Rush song http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Barchetta.

  9. Safety Films on Most Torrent Downloaders Are Monitored, Study Finds · · Score: 4, Funny

    Where I work, we have monthly-ish meetings that also includes watching a classic type of "Blood On The ____" workplace safety film. Naturally, at the beginning, there is the FBI warning about stealing imaginary property...

    I really do hope to meet an example of someone who pirates safety films: a thieving cheapskate who is concerned for his employees well-being.

  10. I have to wonder what the situtation in the EU is w.r.t. uni textbook pricing, including used.

  11. Yes, but on With 'Access Codes,' Textbook Pricing More Complicated Than Ever · · Score: 0

    This happens with every generation. The self-centered jerks reveal themselves as time goes on.

    Yes, but the previous jerks had the decency to die ten years after they retired, not forty .

  12. Mars University on With 'Access Codes,' Textbook Pricing More Complicated Than Ever · · Score: 1

    Knowledge Brings Fear

  13. Stronger on Wood Pulp Extract Stronger Than Carbon Fiber Or Kevlar · · Score: 1

    Stronger burn rate too, I assume.

  14. Re:catchy job title on Anonymous Leaks 1M Apple Device UDIDs · · Score: 1

    > Supervisor Special Agent Christopher K. Stangl from FBI Regional Cyber Action Team and New York FBI Office Evidence Response Team

    This guy must have business cards 2 feet wide.

    And an honorary Microsoft mid-level executive just by title length.

  15. Farm Trucks on Do We Need a Longer School Year? · · Score: 1

    Especially since Obama dept. of agriculturehad tried to ban kids from working on the farm, and driving farm machinery.

    Most road-travelling farm trucks in the US are so old they actually qualify for ANTIQUE license plates.* A massively-loaded truck with decrepit brakes and steering; the perfect vehicle for novice young drivers (and most Ag states have dumped yearly vehicle inspections).

    * - We only use them 3 months a year, so why ever replace them?

  16. "I'm sorry, Bruce. These boys get that syrup in 'em, they get all antsy in their pantsy."

    -- Super Troopers

  17. Wow on Promising New Drug May Cure Malaria · · Score: 1

    Unless you can give everyone birth control they'll all die of starvation anyway.

    One of the more effective forms of birth control is lowering infant and child mortality - like, ya know from malaria.

    But, don't let me stop your subtle dismissal of the behaviours of an entire continent. Have fun at the Klan rally.

    It's in Tampa this year, isn't it?

  18. District Attornies on The Case Against DNA · · Score: 1

    Virtually all of them aspire to high political office, thus they are hard-core 'Law and Order' a-holes and more than willing to ingore or suppress evidence or scene DNA contamination.

    Look at their behaviour when DNA is not on their side; older cases where no DNA of the suspect is found. They always say the same thing: no, we got the right man; he was just more careful than his 'unindicted co-conspiritor'...

    Scumbags.

  19. Willful Frame Jobs on The Case Against DNA · · Score: 3, Insightful

    That is what is so terrifying about the police having DNA samples on hand apriori: NO MORE UNSOLVED CASES!! Contaminate the evidence with someone's DNA you already have on hand (if you don't like them for racial, political, or personal reasons, that's just gravy), and bingo! Instant conviction by idiot juries who can't spell GUILTY without using the letters D, N, and A.

  20. Slow play on Bionic Eye Lets Blind Woman Experience Vision · · Score: 1

    I want (and soon will need) Ixian eyes now, damnit!!

  21. Said it before on 2nd Largest Liquefied Natural Gas Producer Knocked Offline In Malware Attack · · Score: 1

    I'll say it again; this and the Saudi attack aren't ideologically driven, unless you consider greed an ideology. Who did this? Follow the money and check the futures market.

  22. Which version on GNOMEbuntu Set To Arrive In October · · Score: 2

    If it's Gnome 2, I would consider it. Actually, no; I've already moved on from Canonical's increasing ego drama and switched to LMDE.

  23. Remember, folks on Side-Effect of the Apple v. Samsung Trial: Increased Sales for Samsung · · Score: 3, Funny

    Just like (make-believe) gun bans threatened in the wake of certain political parties,

    Apple phones don't kill people, SAMSUNG PHONES DO.

  24. Perception on Calorie Restriction May Not Extend Lifespan · · Score: 1

    Restricted caloric intake only makes it *feel* like forever.

  25. Sad on Malaysian Cyber Cafe Owners Liable For Patron Behavior · · Score: 1

    Laid-back, easy-going tropical island living goes out the window, once - like rats off a ship - religion shows up.
