  1. Re:Waiting for Recall on XCore's EduBook, a Netbook That Runs on AA Batteries · · Score: 1

    My favourite of all time was on a flexible keyboard:

    It cannot be putted into the oven and putted on the fire to roast

    Good job I have a large oven, otherwise I probably couldn't even fit turkeys or my keyboard in it.

  2. Re:If it's anything like Google Translate on Google Shooting For Smartphone Universal Translator · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I tried to translate your sentence multiple times, then back to English so I could post the ridiculous result.

    Except google's translation was actually pretty good.

  3. Re:Keep it simple on What Are the Best Valentine's Day Stunts? · · Score: 1

    Geeks like efficiency.

    Sakura wine combines flowers and alcohol.

  4. Re:First Polanski on Google Airs Super Bowl Ad · · Score: 2, Informative

    There were technical inaccuracies in the advert.

    The cursor moved, which in reality triggers that bullshit, javascript fade thing.
    The google SERPs page only looks like that to an adblock user.

  6. Re-re-re-release of Star Wars Episodes V! on The People vs. George Lucas To Premiere At SXSW · · Score: 1, Funny

    "Wookiee" has been changed to "hair challenged animal" and that the entire cast has been digitally replaced by Ewoks.

  7. Re:Adobe Flash will die on Apple's Change of Heart On Flash · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Nah. This isn't the first time some non-free stuff hasn't mixed well with Linux. Oil and water man.

    Let's see, there's libdvdcss, most wireless drivers until very recently, had to be fetched using some sketchy cutter tool. Flash gets fetched from gawd knows where by the flashplugin-nonfree package,
    People who use firefox or linux will tolerate a little configuration pain, even if the codec has to come from a warez server in Russia.

    I personally wish we didn't all walk into yet another propitiatory format though, because it's just history repeating itself.

  8. Patentese on USPTO To Review Controversial VoIP Patent · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I love how prefixing anything with "Method and apparatus for implementing..." makes the obvious sound non-obvious, at least to an (un)reasonable person.

  9. Blasphemy! on Internet Nominated For 2010 Nobel Peace Prize · · Score: 5, Funny

    The internet's acceptance speech was actually:

    HTTP/1.1 202 Accepted

  10. Re:Priorities on UK's Anti-File-Sharing Bill Could "Breach Human Rights" · · Score: 1

    Every government in human (pre)history -- has fought hard to increase it's own power, to limit the power of the population and to remove checks and balances on its actions.

  11. What is a netbook? on Google Docs Replaces OpenOffice In Ubuntu Netbook Edition · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I don't even know what a netbook is now. At the start they were defined by their tiny form-factors, low-ish power-consumption.
    The revolutionary part was the LOW price. Sony VAIOs of similar size had been around for absolutely ages, but those were just shit, overpriced laptops.

    Then microsoft moved in and netbook grew in size and power. I think my early eeepc IS a netbook, and despite the 600px screen height, I run stock Ubuntu rather than a netbook specific edition.
    Running open office has never been a problem, so I don't see the point in getting all cloud dependent for nothing.

  12. Easy on Stay Off the Grid, Win $10,000 · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Easy with one caveat. It would only be easy for people who wouldn't want to take part in the first place.

    For the twittering, facebooking, wannabe internet-celebrity, attention whores, who would take part; they'd blow it.

  13. Re:I'm no genius, but... on New Most Precise Clock Based On Aluminum Ion · · Score: 1

    I don't know.
    I'll get back to you in SQRT(h bar x G / c^5) seconds.

  14. Marketing angle on New Most Precise Clock Based On Aluminum Ion · · Score: 4, Funny

    For the domestic market they can use the marketing angle that aluminium is safer than mercury, and that it will case less pollution when you come to trade it in.

    In fact, I think I'll order one now.

  15. Re:High res? on Pluto — a Complex and Changing World · · Score: 1

    By jove you're right! These photos need to be "enhanced".

  16. Wat on Keep SSH Sessions Active, Or Reconnect? · · Score: 4, Informative

    What gives you the impression that the key-exchange in SSH is vulnerable?
    The short answer is: Whatever.

  17. Re:Bore them to death on Police Want Fast Track To Get At Your Private Data · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Nobody knows how totalitarian their country will be in 5 years.
    Best to assume the worst extrapolating from today's trajectory.

  18. Re:WHY THE FUCK DO PEOPLE STILL USE IE? on IE Flaw Gives Hackers Access To User Files · · Score: 1, Troll

    You found sites that still need IE? Here in 2010?

    If a site needs IE today, I don't need that particular site.

  19. Defend its users? on Google and NSA Teaming Up · · Score: 4, Informative

    I can defend myself perfectly well, by using the correct tool for the job:

    Self hosted mail server: Business, personal, anarchism.
    Gmail: Fwding Lolcats.

  20. Re:DRM Support on Intel Details Upcoming Gulftown Six-Core Processor · · Score: 4, Informative

    What?

    AES acceleration will be useful for VPNs, serving SSL websites, VoIP, full disk encryption ... and so on.

    Some software is needed to achieve the magic

  23. Re:Awareness of the world on Heavy Internet Use Linked To Depression · · Score: 2, Funny

    That's a good one.
    Whenever I read the main news headline of the day, I feel like I'm being trolled.
    Then I go back for more then next day.

  24. Re:Data transfer? on MPEG LA Extends H.264 Royalty-Free Period · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Software patents? That's just absurd.
