  1. Re:No support contract is a crime? on EMC Engineer Steals Almost $1 Million of Kit One Piece at a Time · · Score: 1

    Probably tough to get a support contract for a '89-90-91-92-93-94-95-96-97-98-99 router.

  2. And I will take on IBM's Jeopardy Strategy · · Score: 1

    February Sweeps Gimmicks for 400, Alex

  3. Doors on Calculator Networking With CALCnet and Doors CS · · Score: 1

    Can I use it to break on through to the other side? Light my fire?

  4. Fuel from high explosives on US Offers $30M For High-Risk Biofuel Research · · Score: 1

    Maybe power my car with JATOs like on Mythbusters. That should qualify as "high-risk research".

  5. Re:Poor Michael Bay on Why Special Effects No Longer Impress · · Score: 1

    No, blowing up shit will always work. Doesn't matter if it's real shit or CG shit or 3D shit.

  6. They were hoping for the ultimate Amazon punishmen on Why Anonymous Can't Take Down Amazon.com · · Score: 5, Funny

    Death by snu-snu

  7. Reminds me of the caveman's complaint on Archaeologists Find 2,400-Year-Old Soup · · Score: 1

    Primordial soup again?

    I think that's from a Far Side cartoon.

  8. Re:The summary sounds so selfish on Diabetic Men May Be Able To Grow Their Own Insulin-Producing Cells · · Score: 1

    If she's a teabagger, you're in luck!

  9. Re:Queue the libertarians.. on Malicious Online Retailer Ordered Held Without Bail · · Score: 1

    This is what came to mind for a line of people for this guy.

  10. Re:Perhaps a structural solution would be better on Corporations Hiring Hooky Hunters · · Score: 1

    That's what my employer did. But the new total = the old number of vacation days. Bummer.

  11. And what about Transformers? on Law and the Multiverse · · Score: 1

    Does auto insurance (collision? liability?) cover you if your car trashes the town?

  12. Re:For San Francisco Bay Area on Environmental Watchdogs Confused By E-Waste Practices · · Score: 1

    Yes, CA has a fee attached to buying TVs and monitors (only) so ACCRC doesn't charge a fee for those as they get their money from the state.

  13. For San Francisco Bay Area on Environmental Watchdogs Confused By E-Waste Practices · · Score: 4, Informative

    One of the best places is ACCRC. Usable stuff is refurbished for charity organizations, schools, etc. and the rest is handled responsibly and locally by ECS Refining in Santa Clara. Small fees are charged since this isn't as cheap/profitable as sending it overseas. But in the past they've taken stuff for free on Earth Day (April 22) so I save my small circuit boards and cables till then. The bottom line: do your own research. Especially if a recycler is eager to take anything and everything for free.

  14. Klaatu barada nikto on Denver Bomb Squad Takes Out Toy Robot · · Score: 1

    Don't they know anything?

  15. Re:Just wondering.... on NASA Finds New Life (This Afternoon) · · Score: 1

    So far it doesn't look that great. The article from Astrobiology magazine debates if it's just impurities. And it talks about how "arsenic bonded to oxygen and carbon in the same way phosphorus bonds to oxygen and carbon in normal DNA" which of course is wrong.

  16. Re:Just wondering.... on NASA Finds New Life (This Afternoon) · · Score: 1

    My guess is that Mono Lake is full of phosphate, so it would have to be able to handle it. Interesting point if it uses "ATA" instead of ATP. And it's got to be loaded with enzymes that work on As, keeping it where it belongs. No doubt many years of research will be spent teasing out this information.

  17. That old saying applies on Attack of the Trojan Printers · · Score: 5, Funny

    Beware of geeks bearing gifts.

  18. Let's fork the Internet on Peter Sunde Wants To Create Alternative To ICANN · · Score: 1

    People who talk about "the Internets" aren't clueless idiots after all, they're actually ahead of the rest of us.

  19. Re:Legible? But what were they trying to write? on The World's Smallest Legible Font · · Score: 1

    That's 1337 in 1776.

  20. Re:VitrtuaBox on Recommendations For Home Virtualization? · · Score: 1

    Me too. You will want a 64-bit host with plenty of memory, no matter which VM program you use.

  21. Re:How much on Oxford Expands Library With 153 Miles of Shelves · · Score: 1

    All versions of the Harry Potter books are stored in the Room of Requirement.

  22. Sant's reindeer get the holiday off this year on Ballmer Promises Microsoft Tablet By Christmas · · Score: 3, Funny

    His sled will be propelled by eight flying chairs.

  23. Re:That answers that... on New York To Spend $27.5 Million Uncapitalizing Street Signs · · Score: 1

    New street signs is not going to change that.

  24. And if you happen to be on Guam on Govt To Bomb Guam With Frozen Mice To Kill Snakes · · Score: 5, Funny
