  1. Open source pacemker anyone? on Lawyer Demands Pacemaker Vendor Supply Source Code · · Score: 1

    Who is with me on this? We could model it after the Arduino project.

  2. Re:It's like Therac-25 on World's Largest Passenger Plane May Be Unsafe, Some Say · · Score: 3, Funny

    I saw that movie too, but I don't want to talk about it.

  3. Re:sales dampened themselves: the car sucks on GM, NHTSA Delayed Volt Warnings To Prop Up Sales · · Score: 1

    The price of diesel went up when they were required to remove most of the sulfur.

  4. Re:sales dampened themselves: the car sucks on GM, NHTSA Delayed Volt Warnings To Prop Up Sales · · Score: 1

    That must be a recent development. If it's true I would expect an up-tick in diesel sales in the United States. EPA standards have most definitely limited the market for diesel engine cars in the US.

    Yes a future without cheap energy, nasty short and brutish as it may be.

  6. Does X-Ray Equipment Create Static Charge? on Amazon Denies Reports That Airport Scanners Ruin Kindle's e-Ink · · Score: 1

    Often when I pick up my things from the TSA conveyor I get a static shock. So far my laptop has survived, but what causes that static? Is it because of the X-Ray machine or is the rubber belt acting like some kind of Van De Graaff generator?

  7. Re:Spotty on Failures Mark First National Test of Emergency Alert System · · Score: 1

    It's time for you kids to get off my lawn.

  8. Re:I'm not sure if this is really an overreaction. on The Political Assault On Los Alamos National Laboratory · · Score: 1

    Why is Richardson's ethnicity relevant?

  9. Re:Assange condemns greed? on Occupy Wall Street Protests Go Global · · Score: 1

    Have you patented this idea?

    In other news, my LightSquared broadband is working great!

  12. Re:Shortage of engineering jobs, on Mr. President, There Is No (US) Engineer Shortage · · Score: 2

    You're correct. It's impossible to know the Federal Government's intention. It is more correct to say that that the Federal Government's actions favor off-shoring.

  13. Re:The Man on Philly Answers Youth Flash Mobs With Curfew Enforcement · · Score: 2

    Not many Republicans running Philly.

  14. Re:Fight the Power on Massachusetts Plans To Keep Track of Where Your Car Has Been · · Score: 1

    They're not ALL "historical documents?"

  20. Re:Yippee!! on Futurama Renewed For 7th Season · · Score: 1

    'Bender' has several meanings other then drug/drinking binge. I assume you meant sixpence. * Former British slang for a sixpence * British derogatory slang for a male homosexual * An expression used in hockey for a player who cannot skate, as his ankles cave or bend in * A curveball, a type of pitch thrown in baseball

  21. Re:I probably wouldn't have noticed this... on Man Finds Divorce Papers, Tax Docs On "New" Laptop · · Score: 1

    It's only four the way I pronounce it.

  24. Re:Too fucking bad.. on Palin's E-Mail Hacker Imprisoned Against Judge's Wishes · · Score: 1

    Do you know what statute she broke? I tried to google and found nothing. If she broke any laws they wouldn't be US they would be Alaskan. I don't think her email account was 'highly illegal' at all.

  25. Re:If only we knew what really caused Autism. on Famous British Autism Study an 'Elaborate Fraud' · · Score: 1

    The cure is obvious then. Inject autistic brains with white pigment. Zinc oxide? To increase the white to grey matter ratio.
