  1. Re:source? on Five Years of YouTube and Forced Evolution · · Score: 3, Insightful

    iphones [...] we accept that platform as important

  2. Re:did you not get the memo? on The Ultimate Interstellar Valentine Mix Tape · · Score: 1

    The alien civilization that builds an entire freaking ship around the probe and fixes its programming so that it can continue on a far bigger exploration mission can probably manage to add a power source.

    It would have to be at least twelfth power. Thousands of starships couldn't generate that much.

  3. Re:So? on Mining EXIF Data From Camera Phones · · Score: 1

    Why did I put this picture online?

  4. Re:So? on Mining EXIF Data From Camera Phones · · Score: 1

    Yeah, I'd be pretty concerned if I put up a gallery titled "Niagara Falls - January, 2010" and someone checked the EXIF tags to discover that I was in Niagara Falls in January, 2010...

  5. Re:Pitiful. on Bark Beetles Hate Rush Limbaugh and Heavy Metal · · Score: 2, Funny

    Could've been worse, they could have tried Jethro Tull...

  6. Re:The Sun on What Objects To Focus On For School Astronomy? · · Score: 1

    That's no moon.

    Yes it is.

  7. Re:Cue apple fanbois in 3 2 1 on Newton's Apple Story Goes Online · · Score: 1

    I bet Newton's apple was a generic unnamed variety.

    Flower of Kent, maybe...

  8. Re:WHEN SHE KNIGHTED SIR ELTON ... on Sir Patrick Stewart · · Score: 1

    Lancelot was turning in his grave, saying, what have we become, a band of merry fairies?

    And Galahad said "bet you're gay!"

  9. Re:It's actually a pity ... on The Definitive Evisceration of The Phantom Menace *NSFW* · · Score: 1

    It's actually a pity that after Return of the Jedi, no more Star Wars movies were ever made.

    You mean there was more than one Star Wars movie?

  10. Saint IGNUcius on Holy See Declares a "Unique Copyright" On the Pope · · Score: 1

    This guy already came up with a "unique copyright" some time ago...

  11. Re:It does depend on the recording on Can We Really Tell Lossless From MP3? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    They save me thousands of dollars in high end equipment

    There's your problem. If you had spent more on your audio system you'd hear the differences.

    Even if there weren't any...

  12. Re:It isn't instant. on New Zealand Tree Stuck In Evolutionary Time Warp · · Score: 1

    Sure we do: Eugenics!

    KHAAANNNN!!!!!!!

  13. Re:Nice on NASA's LRO Captures High-Res Pics of Apollo Landing Sites · · Score: 1

    A Moon belonged to the Who, though...

  14. Re:Tape shortage on NASA Releases Restored Apollo 11 Video, But Originals Lost · · Score: 5, Insightful

    If we can send a man to the moon, why can't we store the damn tapes of the event properly?!

  15. Re:An interesting PR problem on NASA Releases Restored Apollo 11 Video, But Originals Lost · · Score: 1

    Sure you do: just go back to recordings made before these were remastered. (Same thing we do with Star Wars, I guess.)

    Although I suppose the conspiracy nuts could always claim that earlier recordings were modified after-the-fact by NASA using the same sort of ray that is neutralized by tinfoil hats...

  16. Re:Cite please on Better Tools For Disabled Geeks? · · Score: 5, Funny

    In time, almost 100% of keyboard users will have trouble typing" Cite please?

    It's hard to type when you're dead. Therefore I state that, in time, exactly 100% of keyboard users will have trouble typing.

  17. Obvious Answer on How Do You Greet an Extraterrestrial? · · Score: 1

    Q: How do you greet an extraterrestrial?
    A: "Hello, extraterrestrial!"

  18. Re:Not like that... on OpenBSD 4.5 Released · · Score: 1

    Security is something we should get on top of the other features, not with the cost of other features.

    Famous OpenBSD developer Ben Franklin once said "they who can give up essential security to obtain a few features, deserve neither security nor features."

    Or something like that.

  19. Re:Not like that... on OpenBSD 4.5 Released · · Score: 1

    It's modded troll because he's acting like one, all good trolls have a degree of truth in them.

    He's trolling because while his statement is true, it's very selective. OpenBSD may not have 3D nVidia support, but as of 4.4 has hardware accelerated GL on Intel and ATI. No mention of either of those in the grandparent post though (and ATI has closed-source drivers on Linux, too).

  20. Re:Try playing older games on A $99 Graphics Card Might Be All You Need · · Score: 1

    The only games I play are Doom and Nethack, so all I need are this and this...

  21. Re:All trekkies on Star Trek Premiere Gets Standing Ovation, Surprise Showing In Austin · · Score: 5, Funny

    Just as there are no sequels to the Matrix, Insurrection is the most recent Trek movie made. That makes this the tenth, so the odd-even rule still stands...

  22. Re:Are they good for anything? on Miscalculation Invalidates LHC Safety Assurances · · Score: 4, Funny

    true - but if you have a stable black hole you risk the chance of losing containment... which could be bad...

    I'm fuzzy on the whole good/bad thing. What do you mean "bad"?

  23. Re:Power Requirement on Nvidia 480-Core Graphics Card Approaches 2 Teraflops · · Score: 2, Funny

    Weight has nothing to do with it, Marty!

  24. Re:Not cool any more? on Asus Reveals the Eee Keyboard · · Score: 1

    Not cool? This is heavy, Doc...
