  1. Re:Job Offer on Former Student Gets Year In Prison For College President Election Fraud · · Score: 1

    They want the ones with no sense of ethics or morality.

  2. Real QR Codes on Google Fixes Glass Vulnerability To Malicious QR Codes · · Score: 5, Insightful

    They weren't fake magical QR codes. To somehow blame a piece of paper or a billboard for your own terrible code is hilarious.

  3. Re:Pointless on EFF Sues NSA, Justice Department, FBI · · Score: 2

    Mike could take ten of me quite easily. That's actually my point. How many toddlers could you take on? Five, ten, fifty? I'll bet you could take on an unlimited number of toddlers. The EFF could throw every cent and every lawyer it has at this and it won't make a dent.

  4. Pointless on EFF Sues NSA, Justice Department, FBI · · Score: 2

    The EFF suing the NSA is like me challenging Mike Tyson to a fistfight.

  5. Re:NOT allergic to mosquito bites on Why Are Some People Mosquito Magnets? · · Score: 1

    I have to take an anti-histamine (cetirizine) every day. A side benefit is that I have absolutely no reaction to mosquito bites. It's great.

  6. Re:Moquito trap on Why Are Some People Mosquito Magnets? · · Score: 1

    Nobody has thought of anything like that yet! You should get to work on it right away.

    One dumb lab tech sits in his underwear in his lab and reports the results?

  8. Re:Blame Fukushima on Masao Yoshida, Director of Fukushima Daichii Nuclear Plant, Has Died · · Score: 1

    Men are on average 6" taller than women. Maybe that has something to do with it. That and, well, golf.

  9. Re:How much safer on Russian Federal Guard Service "Upgrades" To Electric Typewriters · · Score: 1

    That's like a totally true story dude.

  10. Create an Account on How Do You Get Better Bug Reports From Users? · · Score: 1

    Force your users to create accounts at SuperDuperBugTrackingThingy.com to report anything. Then send them daily email updates from said tracking system. Also get your moderators to admonish any user that dares accidentally post an existing bug or posts in the wrong section of their clearly laid out bug tracking hierarchy. Or you could go full retard, like Google, and force people to use Google+ to do anything.

  11. Re:"duh" on 50-Year-Old Assumptions About Muscle Strength Tossed Aside · · Score: 1

    Please people. Check your sarcasm detectors as they are malfunctioning. The whole 'bodybuilders have known this for years' thing is simply a cliche. The poster was just going for a laugh, and got you bozos instead.

  12. Re:Bloop? on City-Sized Ice Shelf Breaks Free Of Antarctica · · Score: 1

    Bloops and trains are specific forms of the standard bleeps, sweeps, and creeps.

  14. Blame Fukushima on Masao Yoshida, Director of Fukushima Daichii Nuclear Plant, Has Died · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Every case of cancer in Japan for the next 200 years is going to be blamed on Fukushima.

  15. Re:Okay on 3-D Structures Built Out of Liquid Metal At Room Temperature · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The next step is to find out that you can't get tons of cheap indium and gallium.

  16. I moved from BC to Alberta over a decade ago. In BC there were DMV offices that were run by the Patty and Selma's of the world. Here in Alberta they have privately run registries. Wow, what a difference it makes. In and out in under five minutes. Nobody growling at you. It's great.

  17. Re:Slightly off topic... on Malcolm Gladwell On Culture and Airplane Crashes · · Score: 1

    The vast majority of the time nobody dies and it's a normal landing. So that should be miraculous, right? Crashing isn't a miracle, it's terrible.

  18. Re:Panda on Mozilla Launches Firefox OS Devices In Stores, Opens Up App Payments · · Score: 1

    Well, that picture leaves no doubt. Thanks.

  19. Re:I see some similarities on Malcolm Gladwell On Culture and Airplane Crashes · · Score: 1

    Getting people to act like that in Canada would be near impossible without the threat of firing or worse.

    They do the same thing when a team of highly trained doctors saves someone's life. The people who use the word 'miracle' are simply ignorant.

  21. I see some similarities on Malcolm Gladwell On Culture and Airplane Crashes · · Score: 4, Insightful

    At all of the companies I've worked for we have keyed entry doors all over the place. However, the social norm is that you hold doors open for people thus completely breaking this form of security. There's always some email once a year that asks us not to do this but breaking social protocol simply can't be done, they need to change the security method entirely if they want it to work.

    Commander's orders, and later Admiral's orders.

    Look at the shape of the head and snout in the most current logo, which is quite different from your linked article. It's a fox, not a red panda.

  24. Re:Minecraft on Deus Ex Creator On How a Video-Game Academy Could Fix the Industry · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Ideas are easy. Everyone has a great idea for a video game. Developing that idea into a functional product is nothing like simply imagining the final product and maybe bits of gameplay and then starting to program it. And he was likely the one being turned down, not his ideas, although it might have seemed that way.

  25. Re:Panda on Mozilla Launches Firefox OS Devices In Stores, Opens Up App Payments · · Score: 1

    But the Firefox logo is clearly a fox, not a red panda.
