  1. Re:Attack Surface's attack surface? on Microsoft Releases Attack Surface Analyzer Tool · · Score: 2

    It's basically a divide-by-zero, implode the Internet kind of event. Don't do it.

  2. Re:Sounds like fun! on 50th Anniversary of the Starfish Prime Nuclear Weapon Test Today · · Score: 1

    Wow. I totally heard that in the voice of Sterling Archer. I may need to watch less television...

  3. Fantasy vs Reality on Allen Institute Data Enables Hackathon For the Human Brain · · Score: 4, Funny

    What we wished for - SKYNET. What we actually got - LOLcat

  4. Phillip K. Dick is a genius on MIT Research Amplifies Invisible Detail In Video · · Score: 1

    If this won't detect replicants, then I don't want it

  5. Power Grid on 'Nuclear Free' Maryland City Grants Waiver For HP · · Score: 1

    Would someone be in a position to tell us how much of their electrical power comes from nuclear reactors? I'm thinking they should disconnect form the grid until we know for sure...

  6. Re:I pity him on Larry Ellison Buys His Own Hawaiian Island · · Score: 2

    Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition

  7. Girl Analogy on Why Do Programming Languages Succeed Or Fail? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Programming languages must have a certain elegance, a flow or symmetry that entices the mind. Pascal/Delhpi have always done that for me. She's not the hottest girl at the dance, a little older and not dressed to the 9's, but she's the one I'm taking home that night. It's entirely personal, and I could'nt care less what others use.

  8. Launch Vehicle? on NASA Gets Two Military Spy Telescopes For Astronomy · · Score: 1

    Easy, just put them on the next Shuttle flight. Ahhh, too soon? But seriously, will these fit on Dragon?

  9. Re:Safely? in the waters of the Pacific Ocean on After Trip to ISS, SpaceX's Dragon Capsule Returns Safely To Earth · · Score: 2

    Oh Really? Gus Grissom would like to have a word with you, or would if he were alive.

  10. So, which is it? on Facebook Shares Retreat Below IPO Price · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Is it the normal IPO rebound effect, like a rubber band snapping back, or is it like the realization of millions of investors trying to put a valuation on a company that has no tangible assets? Or is there another conclusion?

  11. Re:Too damn Early on How NASA and SpaceX Get Along Together · · Score: 3, Funny

    Intercept orbit to the ISS dictates launch window. Changing the obit of the ISS, to allow the launch during prime-time would require tremendous amounts of fuel on the ISS, and a tremendous sense of humor on someone's part.

  12. I'd pay to see this on MA Hackerspace Building Rideable Hexapod · · Score: 2

    Stompy vs. Truckasaurus. One night only! Deathmatch. Two go in, one comes out. No holds barred!

  13. Booster Seat ? on TSA Defends Pat Down of 4-Year-Old Girl · · Score: 1

    Did the 4 year old have a booster seat with her? You know, to see over the cockpit dashboard when she takes control of the jet. Without a booster seat, they're harmless. Just sayin'

  14. almost empty on Snoozing Pilot Mistakes Venus For Aircraft; Panic, Injuries Ensue · · Score: 1

    95 passengers on a 767 means room to stretch out! Unlike the cattle cars I usually have to fly, packed in like kippers. *shakes tiny fist at Delta, Frontier, etc*

  15. Re:Significant digits on Monster Solar Tornadoes Discovered · · Score: 1

    How many Kessel Runs is that? Help me out, I was told there'd be no math.

  16. Apple Pie on 10 Ways To Celebrate Pi Day · · Score: 1

    Celebrate with 3.14 slices of apple pie. I refuse to slice it any thinner, as it tends to crumble.

  17. Re:California on Coca-Cola and Pepsi Change Recipe To Avoid Cancer Warning · · Score: 5, Insightful

    How do we know that California doesn't cause cancer? How can we be sure? Is there a proximity? Do people in Nevada get some sort of horrible sickness?

  18. Chicago Way on Speech-Jamming Gun Silences From 30 Meters · · Score: 1

    They pull a gun, I pull a bigger, more boxy looking gun, with two lasers, and surround sound.

  19. Opportunity Knocks on Indian Government To Track Locations of All Cell Phone Users · · Score: 1

    Be the first on your block to set up a pre-paid throw-away burn-phone stand. Sheer volume of transactions, you'd be rich beyond the dreams of avarice, as long as you don't get caught...

  20. New Slogan? on Southwest Airlines iPhone App Unencrypted, Vulnerable To Eavesdroppers · · Score: 4, Funny

    You are now free to have your identity stolen

  21. A few words for the man on Robert Boisjoly Dies At 73, the Engineer Who Tried To Stop the Challenger Launch · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I prefer to remember him as the cool guest lecturer and advisor we had at Weber State for the NUSAT program. Keen intellect, razor sharp, and driven. There's more to the man than just Challenger.

  22. Re:So, kind of overclocking on DARPA Investing In Electric Brain Stimulation To Train Snipers Quickly · · Score: 2

    Remember, the bulb that burns twice as bright, only lasts half as long. (Unless you're using those funny looking bulbs, then my analogy goes right down the toilet) I don't want to be spoon feeding burned-out snipers in the home...

  23. Re:Anyone feel like jumping off onto it? on Close Approach By Asteroid 2012 BX34 · · Score: 2

    "A stony meteoroid of about 10 metres (30 ft) in diameter can produce an explosion of around 20 kilotons". (air-burst) I guess it depends on the angle of attack and altitude at burst. (from Wiki) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tunguska_event

  24. on an intranet far far away on Iran Developing 'Halal' Domestic Intranet · · Score: 5, Insightful

    The more you tighten your grip, Tarkin, the more star systems will slip through your fingers.

  25. Re:An outbreak of common sense on Chile Forbids Carriers From Selling Network-Locked Phones · · Score: 1

    Well, isn't that special. Thanks, Church Lady!
