  1. Re:OLD tech! on Pumping Sunlight Into Homes · · Score: 1

    Two floors up.

  2. Re:Why? on Supersizing the "Last Supper" · · Score: 1

    Actually, it probably would.

  3. Re:Twitter should be scared too. on William Shatner Takes On Social Networking · · Score: 1

    Your username gives an entirely new meaning to your post.

  4. Re:WHY? on TI-Nspire Hack Enables User Programming · · Score: 2, Insightful

    So what? They're already dumb -- either they cheat on the test and learn nothing, or they cram for the test, forget it the next day and learn nothing. You know what they say about leading horses to water...

  5. Re:Timeline on What Is Time? One Researcher Shares His Exploration · · Score: 1

    Don't be a dick. You know very well which date he was referring to. By the way, he was an American using an American date system to refer to an American event. Funny how that works, isn't it?

  6. Re:Holes in cell walls? Yay! on Plasma Jets Could Replace Dental Drills · · Score: 1

    Hmm. I take it your dentist leaves everything completely intact when he uses a dental drill?

    </joke> for those mods who can't tell.

  8. Re:But isn't there room for both? on Apple's Trend Away From Tinkering · · Score: 1

    Oh, coffee makers, microwaves and stoves can't be tinkered with? Most people don't care to (just like with computers!), but if I want to and know how (coffee maker and stove are fine, I'd just stay away from the microwave...), I'm quite free to tinker.

  9. Re:Bit early... on Can Curiosity Be Programmed? · · Score: 1

    Um, perhaps we're doing it because of our own curiosity?

  10. Re:The world's most expensive letter on Universal, Pay Those EFFing Lawyers · · Score: 1

    Math check.

  11. Re:Print Screen on Does Your PC Really Need a SysRq Button Anymore? · · Score: 1

    Of course Photoshop takes screenshots! Just press Print Screen, Ctrl+V.

  12. Re:Consistency or hypocrisy? on Nokia Claims Patent Violations in Most Apple Products · · Score: 1

    No. 7,383,453 B2: Conserving power by reducing voltage supplied to an instruction-processing portion of a processor

    Wow. The degree to which this is just pure common sense is astounding. Even after reading the patent, it still seems to me like it says 'conserving power by conserving power'.

  13. Re:North Pole on North Magnetic Pole Moving East Due To Core Flux · · Score: 1

    Possibly because this one is relevant. Of course, they are a bit tired now, but still. This isn't one of the usual fifty million stupid ones.

  14. Who Cares? on iPhone 4 Rumors Rumble · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Not to be rude, but really, who cares? Must we have a story every time Steve Jobs sneezes? Yeah, that's what technology companies do — they release new versions.

  15. Re:Oh Great... on Typing With Your Brain · · Score: 1

    She must love you...

  16. Re:Thanks Mark on Shuttleworth To Step Down As Canonical CEO In 2010 · · Score: 4, Insightful

    No, the secure repos are to make sure the packages are coming from where you think they are from. Ubuntu is still an operating system - it operates. If the user tells it to do something, such as download from an alternate repository, it can and should.

  17. Re:It's not the fines.... on Fines Fail To Curb Cell Phone Usage While Driving · · Score: 2, Insightful

    If you cannot handle diverting your attention from the phone to the road when something happens, you cannot handle operating a car. The former is much easier to do than the latter. Plain and simple. If there is something going on, put the phone down. What your wife has to say must be pretty damn important if you're willing to risk your life to hear it.

  18. Re:How does it compare with the other NVidia drive on Nouveau NVIDIA Driver To Enter Linux 2.6.33 Kernel · · Score: 1

    Well yes, but the code is still out there, and can still be compiled with newer kernels, unlike the binaries, which tend to only work with certain versions. Just sayin'.

  19. Re:If women are so smart . . . on How Men and Women Badly Estimate Their Own Intelligence · · Score: 1

    Nice math.

  20. Re:FarmTown on Farmville, Social Gaming, and Addiction · · Score: 1, Funny

    everyone one ... duplicates

  21. Re:They play games with laser printers too. on What Do You Do When Printers Cost Less Than Ink? · · Score: 1

    They just have two sizes; it was the smaller one. The only reason it stopped printing is because they have one of those idiotic designs where the printer refuses to work when it thinks it's out of toner. Unfortunately most Brother lasers I've seen can't tell for crap how much toner they have. Trust me, it'll do that with the next cartridge you buy too.

  22. Re:Compare to the gas tax on What Do You Do When Printers Cost Less Than Ink? · · Score: 1

    Well, since you don't sell roads to people, and you can't put a toll booth at every entrance to every road, how exactly do you propose the roads be paid for?

  23. Re:I seem to remember on Toyota Experimenting With Joystick Control For Cars · · Score: 1

    Push to brake, pull to accelerate. This is how boats and airplanes work

    Uhm. Push to brake on an airplane? Pushing points the nose down, which tends to cause an increase in speed...

  24. Re:Who cares? on Does Your College Or University Support Linux? · · Score: 1

    Kind of like hand-writing it?

  25. Re:Sell your patent on Bootstrapping a New Technology? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Read the title.
