  1. WHAT?? on Russia Considers Banning Emo and Goth Music · · Score: 1

    As an enjoyant and purveyer of these musics, I must object. Life sucks in Russia, let them find an output for their frustrations, or the Russian government will find an army of these (above pictured) monsters at their doorstep, gloomily wishing for social change.

  2. not a fart on The World's Oldest Joke · · Score: 1

    That's right the young lady did not fart in her husband's lap. That was a queef.

  3. Re:Tin-foil hats on Foxconn Releases Test BIOS Fixing Linux Crashes · · Score: 2, Funny

    Sorry to reply to myself....

    [ by the way, I prefer (Admantium)plate-steel helmets to tinfoil, they block more than radio waves... (Juggernaut is my mentor, Captains Britain and America look out!!)]

  4. Re:Tin-foil hats on Foxconn Releases Test BIOS Fixing Linux Crashes · · Score: 1

    Think about it, its like all the other conspiracies we have uncovered and commented on here on /. "Quick they know about our shenanigans, let's issue a quick fix and try to sweep it under the rug!!"

  5. Re:Poor choice of words on New Results Contradict Long-Held Chemistry Dogma · · Score: 1

    Right. That's called the scientific method.

    It's kinda the whole point. Do what you can with what you have where you are, and when you find out how you're wrong you adapt.

    WOW, That sounds like existance in general.

    "Life will find a way"

  6. Re:Nothing wrong with water sports, after all... on The War Against Virtual Beer Pong · · Score: 2, Interesting

    New Years Eve, 2006, on my wedding night, my guests to the reception after-party played Champagne Pong- 4 bottles, then switched to (homemade ~ 40 Proof) Meade Pong - 5 bottles! It was an awesome night, but a rough New Years Day.

  7. Re:I have my doubts... but, on Using Sun's Energy to Split Water Means Solar Power All Night · · Score: 1

    IANA physicist or chemist, but from what I understand this could have good uses.

    For example, use this tech to create hydrogen and oxygen from water using solar power, then use that gas to power a generator, either a full ceramic engine(since the output is steam and oxygen which would rust a regular engine), or a diesel running 20%diesel to prevent rust. From what I read, the addition of hydrogen and oxygen from electrolysis adds power and burns cleaner than regular diesel, I have seen working H2O electrolysis units in tractor-trailer rigs. You then power batteries from the generator to condition the power output and draw from that to fuel your building. Not really suited to power a vehicle, unless you produce enough excess to charge a car too. Any excess at that point could be sold back to the power company.

    The initial investment would be a touch pricey, but it would be better than straight diesel or solar, and cheaper than a nuclear unit.

    I welcome posts that build on this idea or can point out the shortcomings.
    Trolls can F-off.

    (Can I patent this, if you combine 3 existing techs into a new system or unit that counts as innovation, right?)

  8. Re:You wonder? on Citizens Spy On Big Brother · · Score: 1

    I was going to mod parent post, but realized "too complicated" was not an option.

    not to mention I would hate to waste a 3g streaming connection on the inside of my car.

  9. Finally, a real superhero emerges on Practical Jetpack Available "Soon" · · Score: 1

    You hear a voice resounding off the local buildings

    " Here I come to save the day!! "

    (of course it would require modulating the sound produced by the rotors to act as a giant megaphone to be heard anywhere near this thing)

  10. Re:The Days of Internet Freedom on Wikileaks Releases ACTA Negotiations As "0-Day" · · Score: 1

    The days of Internet freedom are quite sadly coming to an end with these international movements toward information totalitarianism, unless the geeks of the world are able to effectively unite and push back.

    Dude, have you ever tried herding cats?

    Look at all the arguments over "free" vs "FREE" or open source or even how many different flavors of UNIX derivatives we have. If we were really trying to band together to overcome the EVIL CORPORATIONS and produce a MS killer OS, we easily could have done so by now. We as geeks have too many personal agendas and projects we are trying to push to EVER get that organized.

    You may as well preach about toppling and restructuring the US Government.

  11. Re:Your answer seems unclear to me on Tenise Barker Takes On RIAA Damages Theory · · Score: 1

    ...but then again, I'm definitely not lawyer-shaped.

    Please assist in my visual and explain: what is lawyer-shaped?

    Fat on the blood of the innocent and full of shit,

    Amazingly adapted to the times,

    Incredibly obtuse,

    "square",

    or perhaps just a by-product of our current sue-happy society and a sign of things to come?

  12. Re:Awesome. on $1,000 Spray Makes Gadgets Waterproof · · Score: 1

    That sure makes calling Cthulhu much easier, no more messy virgin sacrifices....

    Oh the insanity of it all!

  13. Re:Terminators! on Thirst For Coltan Fueling African Conflict · · Score: 1

    So how do we send Summer Glau back to the past to aid Mr Conners in defeating the Terminators before they start?

    oooh, a lovely hybrid spinoff! We can call it "Terminator Summer" or maybe "Summer T-zero"! It would have a high viewing, but only run between seasons (May through August).

  14. Re:Moonwalker on Apollo 14 Moonwalker Claims Aliens Exist · · Score: 1

    OMG, I followed that link and sat in shock and horror, thinking that for all these years, I thought the memories of that movie were a weird childhood nightmare.

  15. Re:Sure... on Global Warming Stopped By Adding Lime To Sea · · Score: 1

    Well don't have a cow man, there are'nt enough to go around..

    Sheesh, I tell my wife all the time...

    One more time Alice and I'll send you straight to the moon!.... Straight to the moon!!!

    Nevermind her name is Susan, she still gets the joke.

    She rocks.

  17. Re:Problems... on Send the ISS To the Moon · · Score: 3, Funny

    Hey, they laughed at Louis Armstrong when he said he was going to go to the moon. Now he's up there, laughing at them.

    Yup! It sure took a lot of effort to get to a studio in Texas!

    Wow, I don't know if this was mean as troll or funny, but if I had mod points today, I'd give it a +1 insightful.

    Thank you for underminig my attempt at humor.

  21. Re:That would make sense on Changes In Rocks Noted Before Earthquakes · · Score: 4, Insightful

    In our sue-happy society, the company or oganization who piloted a system like this would be sued off the face of the planet if they missed one decent quake.

  22. Re:Hasselblads? on Kodak Unveils 50MP CCD Image Sensor · · Score: 0, Redundant

    ZOMG, 50 MP per shot? Oh God(FSM), there goes that 5TB NAS I got.
    especially in RAW format.

  23. Re:Where are you planning on working? on Learn a Foreign Language As an Engineer? · · Score: 1

    Also knowing more than one language could lead to faster promotions.

    I was thinking the same thing, working in an international company, (as a sys-admin,) being to properly communicate with the other branches of our company may either get me travel, a promotion, or at least private jokes and brownie points. Hence, I am working on German and Russian to be followed with Chinese.

  24. Re:The language of engineers on Learn a Foreign Language As an Engineer? · · Score: 1


    How about Latin?
    It has more than 100 speakers
    It has a very logical structure. Learning Latin will help you learn English (it helped me).
    In contrast to the French or Germans, the Romans are even more welcoming ;)


    Why not Klingon? I know it has been mentioned prior, but it has about 100 speakers too, and they are more likely to be geek oriented instead of ancient literature oriented. Not to mention, it is completely artificial since it was made for a TV show. Nothing like having a party and saying "eat or die" as a greeting at the door, meaning to "come in come in, eat, I have laid out a feast and you look famished"

  25. Re:Time to look into other means of security on Crooks Nab Citibank ATM Codes, Steal Millions · · Score: 1

    Is it just me or does anyone else see a push to use the national ID AND your bank card in tandem on ATMs? It would make spoofing them a tad more difficult AND it would further the perceived need for a national ID card.
