  1. Re:Tethering on Verizon Droid Tethering Comes At a Hefty Price · · Score: 0, Troll

    Clap...Clap...Clap. Great job Verizon. You had a potential iPhone killer and took a giant crap all over it. Bravo.
    I was looking forward to getting that sweet open platform phone, now that aspiration has been shot down. :(
    Oh wait, I'll just get an OpenMoko Freerunner and use on pretty much any cell provider I want. I'll choose the one that is the most gentle when raping it's customers.

  2. Re:Doing it wrong on What is the Current State of Home Automation? · · Score: 1

    Isn't there a protocol called Zigbee specifically created for home automation?

    I'm using Opera - both blink and scroll are working ;)

  4. Just use boinc on What Kind of Cloud Computing Project Costs $32M? · · Score: 0

    They should just attach to the boinc project, or a SETI like project. But I suppose they wouldn't sensitive data being copied all over the world.

  5. Better than gerbils I suppose... on Italian Scientists Put Robot Spiders In Your Colon · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Unless you like that kind of thing - with the small rodents.

  6. Re:The perfect weed? on Alabama Wages War Against the Perfect Weed · · Score: 1

    Any way to use the awful weeds for creating biofuel, or textiles?
    Grows like crazy, grows anywhere. If it could be controlled, it would be great to harvest for useful stuff .

  7. Re:Dangerous animals on Girls Wired To Fear Dangerous Animals · · Score: 1

    Which is why when building a surround sound layout, the subwoofer can be tucked under a table or in a cabinet, but the speakers providing a full range of sounds are positioned relative to where the listener will be sitting.

  8. Re:Wow. on IBM Patents Tweeting Remote Control · · Score: 1

    That makes 2 of us. I want to be anonymous as possible, not to mention who gives a crap about every little thing I do. And who has the time to post dumb crap like that.
    I joined Facebook only so I can stay in touch with a friend serving in Iraq. Facebook is the easiest way for him.
    I was suprised to see facebook won't let you be invisible. I supposed the whole purpose is for people to find you. Oh well.

  9. Re:What is the advantage... on Japan Plans $21B Space Power Plant · · Score: 1

    Indeed - they forgot the 'cartbeforethehorse' tag. They're planning on doing this before they even have a way to transmit the power?

  10. The puns....the horrible puns! on Swedish Regulators Ban Word "Bank" In Domain Names For Non-Banks · · Score: 0

    Ha - Very amusing. I can't get enough of the very horrible bank puns everyone is making!
    Seriously though, I am amused and enjoying a Friday afternoon chuckle!
    Thanks!

    Blood repository, sperm repository...etc.

    Although, it wouldn't be long before we start seeing 'MoneyRepositoryOfNigeria.com'
    1)Sign up for an online account
    2)Enter your current bank's name, web address, your id number and password
    3) Click submit to "transfer" your money from your old account to your new money repository account.
    It's that simple!

  12. Re:Virus on MAC ? on Report That OS X Snow Leopard May Include Antivirus · · Score: 1

    What they really need is a anti-gettingUserToInstallStupidCrap software. It would be beneficial on every OS platform where a computer lay-person is driving.

  13. Re:Strongly typed language? on Scala, a Statically Typed, Functional, O-O Language · · Score: 4, Funny

    Ah - duh. Immediately started thinking typed, as in the clicky clicky kind of typing done on a keyboard.
    Man, was that a loud and smelly brain fart.
    Thanks for that.
    Sorry. Sorry Everyone!

  14. Strongly typed language? on Scala, a Statically Typed, Functional, O-O Language · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    What does that even mean?

  15. Please forward this on Yahoo Revives Pay-Per-Email, With Charitable Twist · · Score: 4, Funny

    This message is to raise money for a litte girl with cancer.
    Every time someone forwards this email it's tracked, and AOL, Microsoft, Yahoo, and Disney will donate $0.01.
    The more people you forward to, the more money we can raise! So please...look into your heart and just take a few seconds to forward this message to everyone in your address book.
    If you choose to be a meany, and not forward this email, you will die in 5 years, and so will everyone in your family.

    Is really cool. It just had it's pre-opening, so not all the displays are in yet. The official opening is in Sept/Oct of 2009.
    Everything is interactive, very cool.

  17. Re:Liquid Audio on Music Labels Working On Digital Album Format · · Score: 1

    I thought we already have a really good digital album format. Aren't they called .iso's?

  19. Re:August on Navigating a Geek Marriage? · · Score: 3, Funny

    No - they taste best when cooked IN the can over a trashcan fire.
    Proximity to railroad tracks or bridge underpasses seem to add to the taste.

  20. Re:Not very scalable on Amazon US Refunds Windows License Fee, Too · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Maybe it'll prompt them to start offering 'blank' EEE versions.

    That would be nice, if you don't want a bundled OS, you should be able to buy the hardware that way minus the OS license cost.

  21. Re:and yet NYC still has traffic jams on Rude Drivers Reduce Traffic Jams · · Score: 1

    Indeed!!!!!
    Getting in the middle or right lane, then blowing by someone going 60 in the passing lane tends to wake them up and make them get over.

  22. Re:This is a great breakthrough... on Transparent Aluminum Is "New State of Matter" · · Score: 1

    The bombardment that makes it transparent only lasts for fractions of a nanosecond before the foil is comlpetely destroyed.

    Then how did they know it was actually transparent and not destroyed?
    They just assumed!
    I guess it could be compared to Cosmo Kramer's cold cut slices that were so thin he couldn't see them.

  23. Fancy pants GPS devices... on 100 Things Your Kids May Never Know About · · Score: 1

    I navigate the old fashioned way - by going to mapquest and printing out my directions manually - and wasting a page to banner ads!

  24. Sounds Gross on New From Coca-Cola ... Fizzy Milk? · · Score: 1

    Oh great! It's as sugary as Coke, but now with more fat!
    It doesn't sound too bad when I read the description, but I don't know about the carbonation.
    How does the citrus flavor not curdle the milk? Sounds like you might end up with a Cement Mixer

  25. Re:Diving boards? on 100 Things Your Kids May Never Know About · · Score: 1

    Damn, do you know how hard it is to do a gainer off the edge of the pool rather than a diving board?

    Looks like I'm going to be whacking the back of my head on the concrete pool edge a lot this summer. That's way softer than a springy diving board.
