  1. Re:lolwut? on Go Daddy Reverses Course On SOPA · · Score: 5, Funny

    Yeah, you DO NOT want to piss off the LoLCat people. We take our cats very seriously here. Just sayin.

  2. Sacrificial Lamb? on Sprint Orders All OEMs To Strip Carrier IQ From Their Phones · · Score: 2

    Wonder if they're giving up Carrier IQ as a sacrificial lamb, while their other gathering program(s) lie safely tucked away. Old Gestapo trick. Shoot one of your own...

  3. Work for yourself then on Half Life of a Tech Worker: 15 Years · · Score: 5, Informative

    If you feel you've become less viable to the nameless corporation you drone for, make the brave choice and work for yourself. Would that I had the courage or inspiration to have made that choice, but I didn't. I regret that every day.

  4. Is Sandra Bullock Driving? on Rethinking Rail Travel: Boarding a Moving Train · · Score: 5, Funny

    Yeah, I saw this on that movie, with the bus. Taking passengers out the door, at 55 MPH. I think it was called, "The bus that couldn't slow down".

  5. Re:They never learn. on The F-35 Story · · Score: 1

    F-15 Eagle (Air Force) F-18 Hornet (Navy) A-10 Thunderbolt II (Awesome)

  6. TV Reception on Epic Geomagnetic Storm Erupts · · Score: 1

    I got up this morning, and my over-the-air reception of local stations was severely disrupted. I did however, pick up stations from 250 miles away in Saint Louis. Now I know that Saint Louis stations are only slightly less boring than Kansas City Stations... Thanks CME!

  7. Oblig on Reuters Reports Death of Gaddafi In Libyan City of Sirte · · Score: 1

    I'm getting better! No you're not. You'll be stone dead in a moment...

  8. Red Button on Calif. Appeals Court Approves Cell Phone Searches · · Score: 1

    I now see a market for phones with a red button. Shift-Red Button resets phone back to factory spec and wipes SD card. Oops, officer! Here you go. (BTW, I know most smart phones come with a three-finger-salute, but a big red button looks so cool)

  9. Round Trip? on SpaceX Reveals Plans For Full Launch System Re-usability · · Score: 1

    500K ? Is that a return-ticket? Or one way?

  10. Loose Change on MIT Researchers Create New Tiny Energy Harvester · · Score: 1

    Great, I always have quarters jingling in my pocket. Now I can create energy, 'and' give my wife something else to whine about. Win-Win.

  11. Missed opportunity on Humanoid Robot Wakes In Space, Tweets · · Score: 1

    “Good Morning, Dr. Chandra. I’m ready for my first lesson now.” sigh...

  12. Supplement my Electric Bill? on Microsoft Suggests Heating Homes With "Data Furnaces" · · Score: 1

    If they agreed to supplement and/or pay my electric bill, I'm in!

  13. I was playing BZ-Flag with this, but the latency drove me nuts. Kept getting kicked from the Donkey, oops, i meant server...

  14. Re:Top Gun on USAF Gets F-35 Flight Simulator · · Score: 1

    Mr. President, I'm not saying we wouldn't get our hair mussed... but no more than 10 to 20 million killed. Depending on the breaks

  15. Scotty's Rule of Thumb on Lasers To Replace Sparkplugs In Engines? · · Score: 1

    The more they over-think the plumbing, the easier it is to stop up the drain. I, for one, do not really want lasers firing my spark plugs, no matter how much they tout their effieciency. Some things are better left simpler. When you're broke down on I-70 in Wyoming with defective lasers, in January, at 3 AM, a hundred miles from Cheyenne, please call me so I can go "ha Ha"

  16. Re:PC Load Liver on Kidney Printer · · Score: 1

    Dude, you owe me a new keyboard

  17. Re:I tweeted about this. on Library of Congress To Archive All Public Tweets · · Score: 1

    Oh great. You just divided twitter by zero.

  18. Ding! on Japanese Turning To "Therapeutic Ringtones" · · Score: 1

    A-ring-a-ding-diggy-doe, a-ring-ding-ding-diggity doe. thanks, now I've got THAT in my head all day

  19. Re:New name on Obama Moves To Link Pentagon With NASA · · Score: 1

    Anything would be better than these stupid ABU's I have to wear now. Even if I looked like Wesley Crusher; a step up...

  20. That's Ok! on Robots Learn To Lie · · Score: 1

    As long as she looks like Lucy-Liu-bot she can tell me anything she wants, and I'll believe her. Wait, how is that different from real life?! Women...

  21. How could we make this cooler? on LANCOR v. OLPC Case Continues In Nigerian Court · · Score: 1

    RANCOR vs OLPC. Two go in, one comes out. you know, like Mad Max, without the accents...

  22. Practical uses on Personal Robots From Valley Startup · · Score: 1

    Can they fight forest fires? Or would the three laws get in the way?

  23. A unit we can understand? on Comcast Slightly Clarifies High Speed Extreme Use Policy · · Score: 3, Funny

    For all the geeks, could we get a conversion to "quatloos"? It might help.

  24. RIAA at the Quicky Mart on Music Industry Attacks Free Prince CD · · Score: 5, Funny

    We're going to party like it's on sale for $19.99 !! Thank you, come again!

  25. Idjits on Man Sues Gateway Because He Can't Read EULA · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Gee, I wonder which costs more? Give a man a win in small claims court, or spend about a bijillion dollars to bring in the attack dogs. Heaven forbid you should set a precedent where a customer actually gets what he wants, then everyone will want satisfaction. We certainly can't have that...
