  2. Re:How did they expect to get away with this? on Wells Fargo Fires 5,300 Employees For Creating Millions of Phony Accounts (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    Your comment struck me as particularly humorous. If that was your intent, good on you.

  3. The mishmash of DNA is to be expected on Alleged 'Bigfoot' DNA Samples Sequenced, Turn Out To Be Horses, Dogs, and Bears · · Score: 2

    Bigfoot has shape shifting abilities. That would explain why there is so little evidence of his existence. A shape shifting big foot turns the big foot is a robot theory on its ear.

  4. Re:I ditched Firefox 'cause they're intolerant big on Mozilla Ditches Firefox's New-Tab Monetization Plans · · Score: 1

    Firefox suck and Chic-fil-a is delicious. Big difference. You're better off when you switch browsers from Firefox.

  5. Re:Right to a Bank Account on Reason Suggests DoJ Closing Porn Stars' Bank Accounts · · Score: 1

    As those people stuck in the 9th Ward during Katrina can attest.

  6. Re:Buy a Prius as your next car... on Study Rules Out Global Warming Being a Natural Fluctuation With 99% Certainty · · Score: 3, Insightful

    If you can afford a Tesla, I'm not surprised you didn't notice the increase in your bill. Don't forget to thank the rest of us for the tax subsidy on your Tesla.

  7. A couple of rules to live by. on Why Your Online Impersonation of a 16-year Old Girl Won't Last Long · · Score: 2, Funny

  8. Re:with that kind of accuracy ... on The NSA Is Collecting Lots of Spam · · Score: 1

    Maybe the ISP was cooperating with the NSA and kept the account active.

  9. I don't think it makes a difference. on Why the Japanese Government Should Take Over the Fukushima Nuclear Plant · · Score: 1

    The corporation is the government.

  10. It's not all good news on Ballmer To Retire · · Score: 1

    MSFT up, but HNI is down slightly.

  11. Re:Lack of upgrades? on Sprint May Have Unlimited Data Plans, But Not Unlimited Customers · · Score: 3, Informative

    They haven't done a good job of informing their customers of the upgrades. I've used Sprint for over 4 years and paid for unlimited data and 4G access. Unfortunately they don't have 4G anywhere near me so I've paid for something I can't use. It also seems that 3G service has declined in the last six months, slower spotty coverage. Unless I'm on WiFi my phone is frustratingly useless.

  12. Re:Finally! on Bill Gates Is Beginning To Dream the Thorium Dream · · Score: 1

    Did Gates or Microsoft have anything to do with the 640 k limit? I thought that was an IBM limitation.

    Minnesota was definitely made for the mosquito.

  14. Re:As I sit here pondering.... on RC Plane Attack 'Foiled,' Say German Authorities · · Score: 1

    Just push the button with picture of the food item on it and the register will tell you what the change should be.

    I've never heard of the MSX. It wasn't popular in the US.

  20. Re:UK Plutonium on NASA Restarts Plutonium Production · · Score: 1

    That comic raises some interesting points. It shows that fat is more energy dense than coal. Should we burn fat people for fuel? How will that affect CO2 in the atmosphere, are fat people a carbon sink? If I increase my belly rolls can I get carbon credits?

  25. Re:Obvious troll on Did Google Tip Off EU About Microsoft Browser Ballot? · · Score: 1

    I think it's the precision. They are rounding to the nearest whole billion. 0.7 rounds up to 1.
