  1. There is no such virus on HIV Vaccine Approval For Human Trials · · Score: -1, Troll

    There is no such virus, the acquired immune syndrome has always existed for certain types of bedroom activity. But then again that would prevent people from perpetuating the lie that a condom prevents this, and so the lie persists in a certain type of doctor.

  2. Don't get me started on this one ... on October, November the Worst Months For Writing Buggy Code · · Score: 5, Funny

    I've studied this stuff, it's down to STUPID programmers. Hire people that can type properly. This was everybody wins ...

  3. The Rune Law on Law Professors On SOPA and PIPA: Don't Break the Internet · · Score: 0

    This legislation breaches the Rune Law, or spirit law as some people call it. Top Tip!

  4. She's coming back! on Inside a Last-Ditch Effort To Save the Space Shuttle · · Score: 0

    The STS is NOT the best vehicle to use for a private space venture, check out the consumables and maintenance schedule (or guess from the component list). It'll sump all your dough. It would be MUCH smarter to make a liquid fuel space plane / space car from scratch. Make sure that you learn the orbital mechanics side and safety critical systems side or you will break.

  5. Sorry, this is no good, could you repeat that? on NASA Missing Hundreds of Moon Rocks · · Score: 0

    Sssshay that again son? You were playing hookie with what? Phone the FBI please, at your earliest convenience if not sooner. (It's a case of “It's your badge son ”)

  6. Wrong! on EU Moves To End Surveillance Tech Sales To Repressive Regimes · · Score: 0

    Most of these boxes are made BY the repressive regimes! Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!

  7. Sounds like they're cracking on Big Brother In the Home Office · · Score: 0

    Isn't it funny when employers go paranoid psychotic? As the voices in their head get louder, you would not believe the antisocial intrusive assaults people have to endure. It's just when they do it near police officers in the street later on in the cracking up process that they are forced to resign ... :0)

  8. Shame on Miyamoto Steps Down As Nintendo Game Design Head · · Score: 0

    Shame, and the end of an era. Boy does his stuff look good on MAME! :0)

  9. It's the telco miss, what's the root pwd for ... on Scammers Work Around Two-Factor Authentication With Social Engineering · · Score: 0

    This is funny, it's like the old phrack magazine from the 80s where you have kids pretending to be the telco working on the line asking for the root password to complete a job. Nostalgia ain't what it used to be ...

  10. Wooo Hooo! on Aleph One 1.0 Released · · Score: 0

    They're Everywhere!

  11. Great Stuff NASA on Fire Burns Differently In Space · · Score: 0

    Don't mix pure oxygen and Vaseline, that is my top tip for a white hot hypergolic reaction. Many other materials are hypergolic as well, including may fatty foods ...

  12. I've still got mine ... on 30 Years of the BBC Micro · · Score: 0

    This was the third computer that I learned to program (others were the 380z and ZX Spectrum), both the 6502 assembler and included B.A.S.I.C. went like a rocket on this “Micro.”

  13. Ahem ... on Robots To Patrol South Korean Prisons · · Score: 0

    If the robots behave badly, do they make robot prisoners too? :0)

  14. Pardon me on MIT Researchers Make Advance Toward Photonic Circuits · · Score: 0

    Can they do it in lin? :0)

  15. Quantum Fluctuation Origins of Universe Theory on Cosmic Antimatter Excess Confirmed · · Score: 1

    Ha, it's regional asymmetry and you know it ...

  16. A standard trick these days: on 88-Year-Old Inventor Hassled By the DEA · · Score: 0

    First half is composed of iodising salts, second half silverised activated charcoal – that's a “survival straw.” The iodine kills the bacteria, the second half removes the iodine. You use them to make survival kits, they are water purifiers. They are often used by special forces soldiers ...

  17. Nice! on Doom 3 Source Released · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Nice! Good call ID Software ...

  18. Clutching at straws again? on Why Economic Models Are Always Wrong · · Score: 0

    They didn't use economic science! No way is this stuff due to any real economists input.

  19. Yet another version of events: on 10 Years of Windows XP · · Score: 0

    Xtreme Programming – a slang description of the new c objects invented just prior to the time of .NET. Was meant to complement “X-Box, Direct X, etc.” Source: MSDN. Yet another version of events from these Washington State kids

  20. Hold On ... on The Real Job Threat · · Score: 0

    If everyone's job is done by a machine, how does anyone buy the stuff that they make – they'll be unemployed!

  21. Opposite Sex on Why Computer Voices Are Mostly Female · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Surely most people prefer to listen to the opposite sex, provided they do not suffer from sexual identity disorder or a similar crippling condition ...

  22. Funny on UK Government Pushing For 'Trusted Computing' · · Score: 0

    That's true of just about every computer designed in the US via MW link. The fact of the matter is that there is no sure way to protect users against “Alpha Male Syndrome” etc. when it occurs in government agents. You can't obtain enough employees to see the data of that military psi level. You will wind up with a room full of skitsing employees as soon as they find they super-stud revenge target. So it is technically incorrect to allow this, and always was ...

  23. It's a prurient hack on Using Fuel Depots Instead of Giant Rockets · · Score: 0

    It's an informational sabotage attack – the better question is, who's prurient interests are put in jeopardy in NASA if there is a staff military sheep dip of the type you do when performing manned space flight using missile technology. I'd back track the data if I was involved ...

  24. More Data Please! on German Satellite To Fall From Sky · · Score: 0

    It would have been nice to know the orbit's eccentricity, appoapsis and periapsis etc. I couldn't find the information, other than sample data that shows a rough 45 degree angle orbit (planetary projection) with 25 degree precession (again against our planet), so it's a game of pin the tail on the donkey for most people ...

  25. G Men on OS X Notifier App Growl Goes Closed Source · · Score: -1

    It contains spy code from G men to assist in the enslavement of geeks by evil Carnegie Mellon overlords.
