  1. Re:Phrenology?! on Using Magnets To Turn Off the Brain's Speech Center · · Score: 1

    Cut out the middle man, get yourself the personality you've always wanted: Retrophrenology

  2. Re:Pigs with bugs. on Electronic Warfare Insects Coming Soon · · Score: 1

    Go live in a city where the crime lords and drug gangs run the place. Then you can come back and talk to us about thugs and bullies. I tried, but it froze my Xbox 360. Damn you Rockstar Games!
  3. Re:In Perl on Calculating the Date of Easter · · Score: 1, Insightful

    That is not nearly confusing enough. The original alogrithm was clear and concise. Your Perl implementation should therefore cause distress and confusion. You're a shame to the profession.

  4. Re:Leads to doom... on Astronomers Find Oldest Known Asteroids · · Score: 0

    A lightyear is a unit of distance not time. It is? Does it take less than 12 parsecs to travel a lightyear?
  5. Re:Spiking? on White House Says Hard Drives Were Destroyed · · Score: 0

    Spiking is where a metal spike is driven in the touch hole of a cannon so that the cannon cannot be fire without drilling the spike out. Quick, dirty, easy method to disable artillary in the field.

  6. Re:That's nothing on Samurai-Sword Maker May Cool Nuclear Revival · · Score: 0

    The guys who make Swiss Army knives have nearly perfected fusion reactors. That can open wine bottles.
    Swiss Army knives issued to the Swiss Army (all able bodied citizens aged 18-35) don't have a bottle opener on them. Pressure from the soldiers has pushed the powers that be to redesign the knife and a new version will be issued in the next couple of years. Exciting stuff eh?
  7. Read this book. on Neil Gaiman Book "American Gods" Free Online · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Like most /. comments this adds nothing to the conversation, fails to inform, enlighten and educate. However; I strongly suggest you read American Gods.

  8. Re:I don't travel myself... on Examining the Search and Seizure of Electronics at Airports · · Score: 1

    You traveled naked? :-) It's possible.
  9. Re:30 TB of Data .... A Night!!!! on Bill Gates and Microsoft Fund Telescope · · Score: 1

    How many of us have 30 TB of storage at all, let alone storing and analyzing an additional 30 TB of data a night.

    Me, I've got nearly a Petabyte available and most of it is used within 4 days or ditched. I'm sure there'll be someone else who'll come along and put my DAS/NAS e-peen to shame.

    As for mapping the stars the capability to map the sky in a few days may be designed in but there'll be a queue of astronomers lined up with specific instructions who'll want a sectioned mapped and their data taken away. So no worries about data rotting away taking up valuable storage.

  10. It looks like you're trying... on Bill Gates and Microsoft Fund Telescope · · Score: 5, Funny
    ...to scan the sky!

    Do you want to
    • create a document template?
    • send an email to a friend?
    • send the invasion fleet to a new planet?

  11. Re:Genesis 19:24 on Did Insects Kill the Dinosaurs? · · Score: 1

    Was that a joke?

    If God doesn't even play dice it's unlikely he's the kind of guy that would rain down burning sulphur for a fucking giggle is he?

  12. You never had MRSA... on Google Algorithm to Search Out Hospital Superbugs · · Score: 1

    ...in Carry on Films and they had Babera Windsor's tits in patients' faces. None of this hygiene nonsense. No wait, there was that time in Carry on Doctor when she was in the bath and Jim Dale crashed through the window.
