    GUFF - Good Uneaten Free Food... I assume he's talking about the code. mmmm.... tasting bits.. om nom nom

  2. Re:I Am A Chemist on Global Warming Stopped By Adding Lime To Sea · · Score: 0

    Adding tons of lime to waterways is already done in places where strip-mining has ruined the rivers and streams, like in Pennsylvania. It does work, albeit slowly, and as for "whatcouldpossiblygowrong", you would need an ass-load of it to actually make a different in the pH of the oceans, so as long as you do it slowly and in a low concentration (spread out over the surface, for instance), it would probably be okay. However, IANAC (I Am Not A Chemist)

    meebo.com still works to access it.

  4. Re:Most useless press release ever on Could We Find a Door To A Parallel Universe? · · Score: 0

    I was going to post a Google Images link, but without SafeSearch the result list isn't exactly what you might expect... You're right, it wasn't what I expected. For the curious, the first pornographic image is on page 4 of that search. Ah, the wonders of teh intenerts...
  5. Sexist tag on BSA's Tactics and Motives Questioned · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    "bunchofcunts" Wow, holy sexist tag. What gives? Sorry this is offtopic, but it had to be sent. Holy crap. So, I'm to take it that BSA tactics are like those of vaginas? They bleed once a month and are otherwise generally warm and inviting? Oh, but I'm guessing that you meant "cunt" as a derogatory word for a woman. Good job people. Oh, but it was not used in that context? I see. So I can just as well substitute "bunchofcunts" with "bunchoffags" or "bunchofjews" ? Good to know. Keep up the amazing work.

  6. Re:Reality check on Lawyer Puts $10k Bounty on Blogger's Identity · · Score: 1

    That's Caucacus Mountains, a region just south of Russia, near Turkey. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caucasus

    Originally it was a racist term, as people theorized that humans started there and spread out to Africa and elsewhere, making "white" people more pure.

  7. Re:England's Home Office? on Researchers Work To Perfect Computerized Lip Reading · · Score: 1

    I think at least some Americans would know this, since they share a monarch with the UK.

    A very good point for those specifically from the US, however :)

    Someone watching Batman movies too much?

  9. Re:Inspector Gadget on Bizarre Self-Destructing Palm Tree Found · · Score: 1

    Not Mission: Impossible? What do today's youth learn, anyways?

  10. Re:Missing word... on Bizarre Self-Destructing Palm Tree Found · · Score: 3, Funny

    Yeah, surely a simple 'fsck /dev/hdtree' would help them here...

  11. In other news... on Public Request For Microsoft To Release Deprecated File Formats · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    In other news, the Dutch open information society requested knowledge of what you are thinking, noting "there is something you can't hide."

  12. choices, choices... on Researchers Create Beating Heart In Lab · · Score: 4, Funny

    Now the big question is, do I go for the replacement legs that give me more speed and let me jump higher, or do I become more stealthy. Choices, choices...

  13. Nuclear Lab uses trackball on Mouse or Trackball? · · Score: 1

    I work at a nuclear lab in the US, and the control room uses Logitech Marble mice pretty much exclusively. I suppose its helpful what with the 4x4 array of flat screens worth of display to roll over :) Now if I could only get those displays to game with...
