  1. Re:R.I.P., Martin Gardner on Science Luminary Martin Gardner Dead at 95 · · Score: 1, Interesting

    I'm wondering if he and Richard Feynman ever got together. Would love to have been a fly on the wall for those conversations.

  2. Re:Action: on House Votes To Expand National DNA Arrest Database · · Score: 0

    Our lives are in the authoritarian hands of idiots, bureaucrats and bumblers. Frightening, really.

  3. Re:get molecularly distilled dha, No mercury/cadmi on Researchers Restore Youthful Memory In Aging Mice · · Score: 1, Informative

    One shouldn't take _any_ supplemental Vit A as it blocks the infintely more important Vit D. See the Vitamin D Council dot org. If I had them I'd toss some mod points your way. Good post.

  4. Re:This nothing to do with low usage on Duke To Shut Down Usenet Server · · Score: 0

    Giganews isn't breaking its formerly inviolable pricing structure because Usenet's dying but because of all the competition. Competition means there's a healthy, thriving Usenet community. I don't think Duke's demise is indicative of anything much really. Long live the U!

  5. Rodney Dangerfield was right! on Justice Not As Blind As Previously Thought · · Score: 0

    "I was so ugly as a kid my mother used to feed me with a slingshot!" "My psychiatrist told me I was crazy. I said Doc, I want a second opinion. He said all right, you're ugly too." "I was so ugly my father carried around the picture of the kid that came with the wallet."

  6. Re:Why I am not surprised? on Russian Anti-Spam Advisor Accused of Spamming · · Score: 0

    Reminds me of that hypocritical anti-gay crusader who was just caught traveling with a young male 'luggage lifter' he hired from rentboy.com. What better way to throw suspicion off yourself than to polemicize against the very thing you're secretly doing? Spam or sex -- yes, both in the can.

  7. Re:Hmmmm on Researchers Restore Youthful Memory In Aging Mice · · Score: 0

    Go fish oil, young man, fish oil!

  8. Re:Hmmm ... on Black Duck Eggs and Other Secrets of Chinese Hacks · · Score: 0

    Stan's conclusion was that the Chinese restaurant was a front for a Chinese espionage operation targeting the Fortune 5 business.

    Did they plant 5 Fortune cookies per hack, or what?

  9. Re:So, quantum cryptography is fundamentally flawe on Commercial Quantum Cryptography System Hacked · · Score: 0

    Screw quantum, I'm sticking with ROT-13.

  10. Beware the rolling snowball on Wikimedia Confusion Swirls In Wake of Porn Charges · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Hysteria can bring down a civilization.

  11. Re:Here is how you do science. on Second Inquiry Exonerates Climatic Research Unit · · Score: 0, Troll

    *Sigh* Oh, for the good ol' days of anthropogenic Global Cooling (circa 1970's).

  12. Re:Doesn't matter. on Second Inquiry Exonerates Climatic Research Unit · · Score: 0

    If I had the mod points I'd mod this To The Limit.
    Well said, sir.

  13. Re:First on NASA's Space Balloon Smashes Car In Australia · · Score: 0

    Rumour has it the car belonged to balloon boy's parents who were there to get tips.

  14. Re:suckitude on Symantec To Acquire PGP and GuardianEdge · · Score: 0

    They're so sucky the man in the middle called and he wants his credibility back.

  15. Re:This is fantastic! on Symantec To Acquire PGP and GuardianEdge · · Score: 0

    Symantec? Oy, there goes the cipherhood.

  16. Re:I confess I'm a thief: A True Story on Anyone Can Play Big Brother With BitTorrent · · Score: 0

    Which Stones song? Bet it was "Hey! you! Get offa my lawn!"

  17. Re:An Opportunity on Anyone Can Play Big Brother With BitTorrent · · Score: 0

    "Why do you have your hard disk removed? And what's this? A live cd?? OK Bill Gates, let's go."

  18. Re:Sold Stolen Property to Highest Bidder on The 4G iPhone's Finder Reportedly Located · · Score: 0

    Let's be realistic. The iGrabber saw the unattended iBooty and thought, "Woot! free iPhone." Once he realized what it really was, he was like "Whoa, what have we here . . ?!" Nothing innocent about how he obtained what did not belong to him. Apple and LE are right.

  19. Re:Gizmodo May Face Felony Charges on Punishing Security Breaches · · Score: 0

    If the RIAA had mod points they would mod this Lenient.

  20. Re:Foil hats on Biggest Study On Cellphone Health Effects Launched in Europe · · Score: 1, Funny

    These studies give me headaches.

  21. Re:State microbe ... on Wisconsin Designates State Microbe · · Score: 0

    Mmmmm, Lactococcus lactis!

  22. Re:Yet another legal solution to a technical probl on US House Passes Ban On Caller ID Spoofing · · Score: 0

    They are calling from a non-pub number within the business they wish to keep private. Just a guess.

  23. Re:Yet another legal solution to a technical probl on US House Passes Ban On Caller ID Spoofing · · Score: 0

    At least your jokes get modded UP!

  24. Re:Yet another legal solution to a technical probl on US House Passes Ban On Caller ID Spoofing · · Score: 0

    Spam calls like political surveys and such still show up 000-0000 on my primitive CID device. Even solicitations from Verizon Wireless have appeared as all zeros.

  25. Re:Don't worry... on Microbe Mat the Size of Greece Discovered In the Sea · · Score: 0

    They may only be at the microbe stage now, but when they all grow to adulthood -- watch out!
