  1. Re:Well... on Discovery Channel Crashes a Boeing 727 For Science Documentary (latimes.com) · · Score: 5, Funny

    I'm not really sure.. THEREFORE ALIENS!!! Did you see the promo for next week with the UFOs shooting dinosaurs like Sarah Palin hunting moose from a copter?

    I don't ever remember seeing the Nat Geo special when they found the dinosaur bones with phaser fire marks.

  2. How do you pronounce it? on Code Name, Theming Update Announced For Ubuntu 12.10 · · Score: 1

    I'd prefer names that I can easily pronounce while drunk. :p

  3. Simple... on Larry Page Issues Public Update On Google Changes · · Score: 1

    There's no profit in supporting the open platform versus G+.

  4. Re:Male companion on New Doctor Who Companion Announced · · Score: 1

    They did it with Jamie and Aldric years ago. Both of them turned out to be well loved characters.

  5. Re:Ads on Startup Wants To Peek Through Your Home's Wired Cameras · · Score: 1

    Pics or it didn't happen.. :p :p :p

  6. My feelings in 3 words on Startup Wants To Peek Through Your Home's Wired Cameras · · Score: 1

    FUCK THAT SHIT!

  7. I don't think this is the solution on Government Should Ban Skinny Models To Curb Anorexia, Say Researchers · · Score: 1

    Granted, I do believe that only showing skinny people in ads damages the psyche, but people come in all shapes, forms and sizes. The print ads should reflect this by having a good cross section of the population. Any anorexic model can make any outfit look good, but if it still looks good on a plus sized girl, shoppers will be begging to stuff their cash in your registers... trust me on this!

  8. I'm going one step further on Last Day To Tell Google To Forget You · · Score: 1

    I'm going to migrate back to Firefox and stop using Chrome, as well as stop using google for the search engine.

  9. What about CC / FLOSS video? on Filesonic Removes Ability To Share Files · · Score: 1

    This may have been mentioned already, but the text of both SOPA and PIPA say it would be illegal to stream copyrighted material. Creative Commons videos and those licensed under one of the Open Source licenses would fall under this definition. What happens to videos that are copyrighted (or copylefted) where the content creator encourages distribution?

  10. Re:Alternative SOPA on Filesonic Removes Ability To Share Files · · Score: 1

    We need a law to limit term limits in Congress.

  11. Re:Obvious on Filesonic Removes Ability To Share Files · · Score: 1

    I stopped using DropBox and have been uploading an encrypted backup tarball to my website in a directory that can't be accessed from the internet.

  12. That's part of the discussion on Filesonic Removes Ability To Share Files · · Score: 1

    News commentators have been asking, if the US government already has the power to shut down websites under existing law, why do we need SOPA and PIPA? It's a very good question to be asking, I think.

  13. Re:Where to get free content on Filesonic Removes Ability To Share Files · · Score: 1

    vodo.net also has some good indie web series and movies. I've been meaning to watch Pioneer One but haven't found the time yet.

  14. This is interesting on Filesonic Removes Ability To Share Files · · Score: 1

    Personally, I would have guessed that the EU would be light years ahead in regards to privacy and encryption keys. Thank you for teaching me something today. :D

  15. I won't be buying one on PS4: What Sony Should and Shouldn't Do · · Score: 1

    Sorry, but I got burned and feel cheated by Sony with their removal of the "Other OS" option. The reason they had that in the first place is so that it could be imported as a computer system instead of a game system, so with the removal of this, I feel they should be paying back fees they avoided. I'll keep playing games on my computer...

  16. Re:Bullshit Laws! on 15 Years In Jail For Clicking 'Like' · · Score: 1

    I am truly surprised that if he were going to talk bad about the Thai royal family that he didn't do so under a fake name on the internet. That's what my friends in Bangkok do... (After bouncing their encrypted connections off foreign servers that is...)

  17. Re:Discoverer or Lisp? on John McCarthy, Discoverer of Lisp, Has Passed Away · · Score: 1

    If it was, I'm sure that Sir David Attenborough would do a documentary on it.

  18. Re:Don't worry. on Mars Rover Curiosity Sealed Up For Launch · · Score: 1

    Either that or Sarah Jane will cut the feed before the roll up on the pyramids.. (*sniffle* Sarah Jane.. *sads*)

  19. That's rather optimistic on Mars Rover Curiosity Sealed Up For Launch · · Score: 1

    "...after successful entry through the Martian atmosphere..."

    This is NASA after all!!!

  20. It's already over, man! on Indian Mathematician Takes Shot At Proving Riemann Hypothesis · · Score: 1

    It looks like someone is still trying to complete their Perplex City card set! :p

  21. Re:Not worried about exclusivity on Microsoft-Skype Deal Poised To Win EU Approval · · Score: 1

    LOL.. blue phone of death!! BWHAHAH

  22. I'm still really worried on Microsoft-Skype Deal Poised To Win EU Approval · · Score: 1

    How long will it be before Microsoft decides the Linux version isn't profitable and removes it entirely?

  23. Re:RC planes will be illegal in on Hackers' Flying Drone Now Eavesdrops On GSM Phones · · Score: 1

    Why go through all that trouble when your reporters can just give people phones you control?

  24. Ewww on Eyeglasses Made of Human Hair · · Score: 1

    Am I the only person who thinks these are creepy as hell?

  25. Re:K-9 needs a return on Daleks To Be Given 'A Rest' From Dr. Who · · Score: 1

    I think they should make Sarah Jane's death canon and mention it in the show, possibly having her give her life to save a bus load of children -- none of that "cowering in fear" crap! I think for a character like Sarah Jane, the only way to end her story in the Who universe is to have her go out in a blaze of glory.
