  1. It will be okay. on Net Neutrality Supporters Hammered In Elections · · Score: 3, Funny

    I plan on running for Congress in 2012. I'll fill a void.

  2. Re:How do you get a proposition on the ballot? on Denver Rejects UFO Agency To Track Aliens · · Score: 1

    Likely because Denver tends to get pretty politically active. I would imagine that whoever was out collecting signatures (you only need 800 to get on the ballot for US Congress for Colorado District 1, which is over 600,000 people) was just getting people to sign because it's "cool to sign petitions". I have no idea what the signature requirement was for this, however. Either way, "sign my petition!" and a lot of the transplanted Denver youth do so blindly.

    Seriously? You're going to link some random unheard of brewery and Shotgun Willies?

    Well, I guess if it keeps more yahoos away from Denver, then yes... this is the best we have to offer. Also, our women are all fat and have 6 kids by the age of 30, the sun never shines, and there are very very very few local beers to choose from.

  4. Re:As a denver voter... on Denver Rejects UFO Agency To Track Aliens · · Score: 1

    Yeah, Hickenlooper was at least a breath of fresh air, even though I didn't vote for him. I would approve of his job as mayor, though, except for the goddamn parking enforcement. You, Mayor John, are a parking Nazi. There is no good reason I should be ticketed for parking in front of my own house.

  5. Re:So it's just a body? on Car Produced With a 3D Printer · · Score: 1

    0-30 should be in the first 2 car lengths.

    Extensive R&D needs to be done in the field of automobile beverage holders before this will be feasible. Seriously. They suck.

  6. Re:No time at all on Kindle Allowing Chinese Unfettered Access To Web · · Score: 3, Funny

    and a URL like Kindle-Allowing-Chinese-Unfettered-Access-To-Web is bound to catch someone's attention

    I am eager to see their translation of "unfettered". Maybe they'll just think it means "not for feet" or something, and that the kindle just lets people use the web while laying on a sofa. That should be okay with them, right?

  7. Re:resistive? on Hands-On Test With the Dirt-Cheap CherryPad Tablet · · Score: 1

    Stylii? Stylum? Styluses? This is an important and pressing question.

  8. Re:Or could it be... on Real Reason Why the White iPhone 4 Is Delayed · · Score: 0, Troll

    This brings to light the number one reason why I will absolutely never consider buying an iThing (assuming your statement is valid, of course).

    If there are enough users of this thing to warrant a delay in purchasing simply because they want one that is white versus black, I would never want to associate myself with someone so superficial that a simple fucking color change is this important to their buying decision.

    The only time fashion > function is with cut flowers, and even then the distinction is small.

  9. Re:Too late. on MySpace Revamps Site To Recapture the Magic · · Score: 2, Funny

    And according to that chart, myspace still has some users in Malaysia. But unfortunately, I don't have a joke to follow up on that observation.

    That's just an ignorant statement.

    I'd go with twat shot myself. Too many women are offended by the word cunt, but they giggle at the word twat.

    Yeah, there actually was once a time when pickups weren't dimensionally comparable to Blue Whales. I have always preferred to have a pickup, but it sucks these days as the only ones to choose from assume I want something huge and capable of crushing anything that gets in my way.

    Message to Toyota. Please bring back the Toyota Pickup along with a modernized 22R. When the '85 Pickup I'm driving finally dies, it would be nice to replace it with something similar.

    Well then, you've saved yourself the trouble of finding out your employer has absolutely no capacity for critical thought.

  14. Re:MS is doing that on Ray Ozzie's Departing Memo a Warning To Microsoft · · Score: 1

    It may be a bias, but that's the type of demographic that lends itself to Apple products. If that weren't the case, you wouldn't have bothered to point that out.

  15. Re:MS is doing that on Ray Ozzie's Departing Memo a Warning To Microsoft · · Score: 1

    Or not? I was out the other night and overhead a conversation between a couple of hipsters. The one guy mentioned how he is not tech savvy and is everything but an early adopter of new tech. He looked like a stereotypical iThing consumer but went on about how disappointed he was with the iPhone he bought a couple years ago. His number one complaint was the whole Flash thing. In his opinion, it killed his desire to get the new iPhone, or anything i related at all. He said the iPad was "too heavy" and that he was pretty interested in the Galaxy. Sure we've heard these things on /. but it was interesting to hear it come from someone who has probably never heard of /.

    So the point is, right now, I don't think anyone is too late to the party, as it's just getting started.

  16. Re:Reminds me of Project Gaydar on Facebook Ads Could 'Out' Gay Users · · Score: 1

    From the article you cited:

    The two students had no way of checking all of their predictions,

    Sounds like they didn't actually "successfully identify gay men" to me.

  17. Re:workaround is obvious on Facebook Ads Could 'Out' Gay Users · · Score: 1

    don't clickthru on ads for nursing programs for men.

    I'm not really sure what makes male nurses gay. My ex-gf is a nurse as are all her friends, and of the guys I met that are nurses, none of them were gay. I get the whole maternal desire to care for people and that it might attract a higher-than-average amount of gay men, but being a male nurse does not make you gay.

  18. Re:soooo..... on Facebook Ads Could 'Out' Gay Users · · Score: 1

    Sorry for stereotyping, but it's like the way a lot of them speak. They sound gay. Why exactly is that? Is it because they want to speak that way or is it some kind of genetic thing? Seriously.

    You can't be trolling if you're just ripping on fans of a rival team. Have a sense of sportsmanship modder.

  21. One small step... on Programmable Magnets · · Score: 1

    If my theories are ultimately correct, this is but one small step toward realizing long-distance space travel. Using huge magnets to repel a craft long distances is the answer. It's crazy, I know.

  22. Re:Incentive for Private Companies? on NASA Strikes Gold and Water On the Moon · · Score: 1

    Since NASA has no chance of ever establishing any more manned missions outside Earth's atmosphere

    Really? Ever? As in For?

    I highly doubt that. While at times I do share the same cynical outlook, political landscapes change. There is a lot of uncertainty in regard to the future of government sponsored space missions. You say "no chance". I say "some chance".

  23. Contact Warner Bros. on All Your Stonehenge Photos Are Belong To England · · Score: 1

    Surprised I didn't see it mentioned already...

    I would like to know if they will be notifying Warner Brothers that their use of Stonehenge in National Lampoon's European Vacation is a violation as well.

    It would be pretty funny for Warner Brothers to get a taste of their own medicine for once.

  24. Re:Anecdote on 4G vs. 3G vs. WiFi Throughput For Samsung's Epic 4G · · Score: 1

    I live in Denver, 4g is not up quite yet (you can get on down by 16th street mall, but that's about it) and i routinely connect over the current 3g. I get a consistent 3mps. While that may not boggle anyone's mind, remember that I get unlimited data. I have connected on 4g when I've been able to, and, to be honest, it's very fast. I haven't been able to test throughput simply because it's not live yet, but I would say it is easily 5-8mps.

    Actually, now that I think about it, yea... Sprint 4g sucks. You should definitely choose another carrier. This is so slow, I just can't access my facebooks and episodes of "The Hills" fast enough. I would choose another carrier, because hey, only one thing matters, right?
