  1. Videos of LOLcats set to Nickelback Songs on RealPlayer 11 Is a Real Rip Contender · · Score: 1
    Encoded for YouTube, then ripped and compressed again

    All aided by a single piece of software that will tinker with all of my preferences repeatedly without asking and doubtlessly be twice as large as necessary

    If they add in nag screens about constantly updating and tether spyware to it at the installation phase, I'm so there.

  2. For the best. on Chicago Cancels Municipal Wi-Fi Plan · · Score: 4, Funny
    Chicago has a systematic inability to manage anything under its control, from the transit system to the hospitals. Everything is out of money and the whole state just devolves into an endlessly looping state diagram of FIGHT --> SHAM RESOLUTION --> FIGHT.

    If Chicago managed a WiFi infrastructure, it would manage to cost the taxpayers $400B and give everybody cancer within a week or two, and even then the aldermen would find a way to stick up for it so long as Daley approved.

  3. Re:The NGage Will Rise to the Top on The N-Gage Will Rise Again · · Score: 1
    What we have here is a failure to communicate. Jokes, man. Jokes. I know how to read.

    That being said, I advocate physically throwing Nokia in the trash, along with printouts of all the trademark registrations related to the N-Gage.

    Also, I'm sorry I messed up the hyphenation pretty bad. I hope you're not too upset.

  4. The NGage Will Rise to the Top on The N-Gage Will Rise Again · · Score: 1
    Unfortunately, it will be the top of the landfill - and it will be there because it will be physically on top of the previous NGage attempts.

    Is it true that they buried tens of thousands of these in the desert under a layer of concrete in the 1980s, or is that just an urban legend?

    Brilliant use of resurrecting a brand, though. Other product names that could be used as part of a rebranding effort:
    - Union Carbide
    - Asbestos
    - DDT

  5. A Short List of Awesome Things Shot Into Space on NASA To Send Luke's Lightsaber Into Space · · Score: 1

    - Dog - Skylab - Philip J. Fry (in a dream on a cartoon) - Bender Bending Rodriguez (in real life on a cartoon) - A sword made out of a laser

  6. New Airline Slogan on Airbus 380 To Have Linux In Every Seat · · Score: 1

    When You Can't Travel With Your Mom's Basement, Choose Singapore Airlines.

  7. Violating Russian copyright law is very difficult on Allofmp3 Restarts Business · · Score: 2, Funny

    If you want to violate Russian copyright law, you pretty much have to walk up to the artist and punch them directly in the mouth, and even then it's a pretty close legal call.
