  1. Hey I volunteer to help NASA with Tesla's notes! on NASA Requests Help With Von Braun's Notes · · Score: 1

    Sorry I would like to sit this one out, on the count of who Werner von Braun was, however when you need help deciphering the notes stolen from Nicola Tesla, you can count on my "help".

  2. Big Successfull Companies like Apple®.. on Apple's Obsession With Secrecy Grows Stronger · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    are Secretive Copyright Nazis and Lie for Profit and this is news how? Oh and Dear Apple娉 Legal Person, please do not sue my ass off!

  3. Time to dump alcali metals into the ocean? on Carnegie Researchers Say Geotech Can't Cure Ocean Acidification · · Score: 1

    That will raise the PH level, wouldn't it? What can possibly go wrong?!

  4. Instead bitching about porting problems, on Does the Wii Provide A "Watered-Down" Game Experience? · · Score: 1

    how about creating original content that plays to the Wii's strengths?

  5. Green Dam lays ground for the worlds biggest on Chinese Govt Spyware Puts Computers At Risk · · Score: 1

    Government controlled botnet! A technological "Cultural Revolution" seems to be the obvious goal, under the guise of Greater Good and "thinking about the children".

  6. Dino Bots are really lame / on Pleo Robot Dinosaur Back From Extinction · · Score: 1

    not at all what we all crave / they will never save the day/ BURMA SHAVE

  7. My kids would disown me for getting it wrong... on Chinese Government To Mandate PC Censorware · · Score: 1

    It was definitely Inigos line - you can youtube it, he even pronounced "word" as "whord", like Stewie pronounces "Cool Whip".

  8. Communism! You keep using that word.... on Chinese Government To Mandate PC Censorware · · Score: 1

    I do not think it means what you think it means.

  9. Somewhere along the way this country forgot on Ballmer Threatens To Pull Out of the US · · Score: 1

    that Taxation is not the American Way. And the crowd jeering at the problems of corporations and the rich and praising wealth redistribution, will reap what it saws as this country becomes destitute. I grew up in the former Soviet Union where everyone was "equal" and companies were government's bitches. Most people were really equal back then - equally fucked that is.

  10. There are six legitimate copies of Windows XP on Russia Launches Anti-trust Probe of Microsoft · · Score: 1

    in the entire Russian Federation. They are owned by six Microsoft consultants currently traveling in Russia.

  11. My priceless collection of pr0n is safe!!! on Download Taxes As a Weapon Against File-Sharing · · Score: 1

    I acquired it back in the days when using the Series of Tubes was tax free.

  12. Speaking for Intel, spokesperson Nigel Tufnel said on AMD's Six-Core Istanbul Opterons · · Score: 1, Redundant

    Intels next processor will go to Eleven!
    When asked by the reporters, as to why Eleven was chosen as the target number of cores, Nigel said
    It's six louder than AMD! I mean faster...

  13. Apple will observe the Status Quo... on New Mac Clone Maker 'Quo' To Open Retail Store · · Score: 1

    and sue them!

  14. Cool but mildly creepy. on Internet Giving Rise To "Citizen Spies" · · Score: 1

    On one side it is cool how proliferation of information is creating transparency in areas previously shrouded with secrecy, on the other side it is somewhat creepy to see how it is becoming increasingly more acceptable to out things without the involved party's consent. Are we evolving into info junkies, who under the guise of "The Public Has The Right To Know" are simply feeding our addiction to sticking our noses into everyone's business? I admit that I am addicted to information (duh I am on /.), but I do not like to think of myself as a Peeping Tom. Sorry, its early in the morning and the caffeine is slowly working through my system, I must ponder this some more....

  15. Hmmm Cui Bono or could be the sibling rivalry... on FBI, US Marshals Hit By Virus · · Score: 1

    Check with the lads at the CIA.

  16. Mental Commitment Robot Seal, Love You Long Time on Paro the Therapeutic Robot Baby Seal · · Score: 3, Informative

    really old news here, this was covered all over the place about a year ago - like here http://www.gadgetking.com/2008/08/21/mental-commitment-robot-seal-love-you-long-time/

  17. Computers are cheap - just get another box. on Using 1 Gaming Computer For 2 People? · · Score: 5, Informative

    Check out some of the refurbished systems available online and from places like Frys. You can get some raging deals on a solid mid-range box. Thin Client is absolutely abysmal as a gaming solution. This way you two can share a hobby and not drive each other nuts.

  18. Re:Cue postgres fan bois on Has MySQL Forked Beyond Repair? · · Score: 1

    Both MySQL and PostgreSQL are junk compared to Microsoft SQL Server.

    No, that's YourSQL.

    No, it's Bill's SQL.

    Wait, isnt MySQL now Larry's SQL?!
    *teh zing!*

  19. I am not a sciency guy break it down for me please on Gene Transfer Immunizes Against Monkey HIV Analog · · Score: 4, Funny

    Is it safe again to screw the monkeys or not?!

  20. Re:How redacted is it? on KGB Material Released By Cold War Project, Available Online · · Score: 2, Insightful

    These days, it is a lot easier to publish freely in Russia than in USA - the stuff on the shelves in Moscow and Piter is way more unshackled than the things you will find at your average American Barnes and Noble. Plus, why would KGB bother redacting a work of fiction? They didn't bother with Vasiliev's prior work.

  21. Great work of fiction - sorry but I call bullshit. on KGB Material Released By Cold War Project, Available Online · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Considering Alexander Vassiliev's (not sure where the double "s" came from in )rep and lack of any verifiable evidence to the validity of the data, I see this nothing more than a lengthy and uninspiring work of fiction. He is just using his ex-KGB cred to prop up his book business.

  22. Dammit its 1984 all over again! on Microsoft To Banish Memcpy() · · Score: 1

    What, too soon?

  23. What is the best and cheapest GPS jammer?! on Warrantless GPS Tracking Is Legal, Says WI Court · · Score: 1

    Ok folks, if anyone anywhere out there would know this, it would be here on /.
    What is the best and cheapest GPS jammer out there?
    Or just the best not necessarily the cheapest.
    Something that can also get GLONASS.

  24. Ultima II, Karateka and Questron! on Storytelling In Games and the Use of Narration · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I still remember the first games with "cut scenes" - Ultima II the grand finale, Karateka and Questron on Commodore 64. Questron was the most elaborate one - the celebration parade at the end of the game was epic, almost StarWars like. I remember to this day how it blew my mind.

  25. Re:If one bites you, will you get powers? on Giant Spiders Invade Australian Outback Town · · Score: 2, Funny

    According to wiki, the only power you get is vomiting, and it only lasts for six hours. Hardly seems worth it.
