  1. Re:ISS on An Australian Space Agency At Last? · · Score: 0

    They are building their own module for the ISS. It looks like a really big Fosters can.

  2. So you see Dr. Jones... on eBay Fakes Devalue the Craft of Tomb Robbing · · Score: 0

    there is nothing that you possess that I cannot duplicate and sell on Ebay!

  3. Re:Hmmmmm on Worst Working Conditions You Had To Write Code In? · · Score: 1, Funny

    Try having to share an office with a guy who listened to really weird stuff from Norway. It featured the music from "It's My Party and I'll Cry If I Want To", but had a guy singing lyrics in Norwegian.

  4. Please, not this again. on Texas Vote May Challenge Teaching of Evolution · · Score: 0

    Will the intelligent, normal Republicans please get control over their party? The rest of us Americans would appreciate it.

  5. This is pretty cool... on Google To Sell Truly Open Android Dev Phone · · Score: 0

    ... in a world where I cannot download pictures off my cell phone because the cellular company wants to sock me with charges so I can e-mail them to myself. Hopefully, this will be a success and other technology companies will follow suit.

  6. To Paraphrase William Randolph Hearst... on Is There a Cyberwar, and Is the US Losing It? · · Score: 0

    "You provide the .png's, and I'll provide the cyberwar." They have to have something to talk about. The news is on 24/7 now...

  7. Quit Complaining! on Grey Lines Mar MacBook Air Displays · · Score: 5, Funny

    My Mac SE from 1988 had all grey lines! You kids and your 'color' monitors...

  8. Obligatory on Distributed, Low-Intensity Botnets · · Score: -1, Redundant

    I for one welcome our new, distributed BotNet overlords.

  9. That's great... on Accident Could Lead To Better Digital Cameras · · Score: 4, Funny

    but the assignment was to make a better solar cell. That's an 'F' for you, Chen!

  10. Awesome!!!!!! on Lenovo Service Disables Laptops With a Text Message · · Score: 1

    Is there a laughing animated skull on the screen when this goes off? If aliens stole your laptop, would it shut down their computer network, shields, and weapon systems? Do I need Jeff Goldblum to configure it for me?

  11. John Montagu, 4th Earl of Sandwich on McDonalds Files To Patent Making a Sandwich · · Score: 0, Redundant

    I think there might be claims of prior art on this one.

  12. Re:Genius? on Inside Dean Kamen's Seceded Island of Geekery · · Score: 1

    And kudos to him for seceding from the union!

    Yes, it is quite an apt move. Ask South Carolina how that worked out for them...

  13. Re:smuggling on South Carolina Wants To Jam Cell Phone Signals · · Score: 5, Funny

    My guess is that slimline phones are very popular. I wonder if they get "crappy" reception?

  14. The price of freedom is eternal vigilance on After Columbine, Eric Holder Advocated Internet "Restrictions" · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Censorship does not have a party affiliation.

  15. Re:Christmas is early this year on Final Judgment — SCO Loses, Owes $3,506,526 · · Score: 5, Funny

    And "Chinese Democracy" from GNR is due out on Sunday. It's like the final episode of a TV series where the writers are trying furiously to wrap up all the loose ends!

  16. Wow! Stupid! on Economic Crisis Will Eliminate Open Source · · Score: 0

    If the economy is going to be as bad as this guy is suggesting, the "hungry, cold, unemployed masses" are not going to have a computer or access to the internet anyway. Computers and the internet are a luxury, and will be one of the first things to go in most peoples lives.

  17. Re:Country First? on Election Dirty Tricks About To Begin · · Score: 1, Funny

    Funny how often "Country First" seems to involve stealing, lying, and trampling all over democracy, law, equality, justice and the Constitution...

    It's "Country Club First". There, I fixed that for you.

  18. BSA Rules on Boy Scouts Ask Open Source Community For Help · · Score: 0

    My sons are boy scouts, I am a scout leader. I have always taken the rules banning homosexuals and atheists as great teaching moments for my kids. They have learned that things are never black and white (as the BSA does good, but has ignorant attitudes regarding religion and homosexuality), and that sometimes it's necessary to ignore the rules to do the right thing.

  19. Bueller? Bueller? on Ben Stein's 'Expelled' - Evolution, Academia and Conformity · · Score: 0

    "Can anyone tell me what the real name of Intelligent Design is?" "Something D-O-O Science."

  20. Re:Disclaimer: I'm not an MMORPG fan on World of Warcraft - Wrath Of the Lich King Is In Alpha · · Score: 0

    To those who AREN'T in the closed alpha this can only serve as a tool to help those who are flaunt their exclusivity.

    Exclusivity is the name of the game. You have something that someone else doesn't. This is the only explanation why players will pay a ton of gold for silly items like the "Blood Elf Bandit Mask" or the "17 lbs Catfish", because they are rare and they can show them off.
  21. Big Deal on BattleBots & ESPN Strike TV Deal · · Score: 0, Troll

    Most of the matches featured what amounted to over-sized, remote control cars trying to flip each other over. Boring! I have a solution: onboard, 12 gauge shotgun!

  22. Re:Let's see how well it protects... on Bill Allows Teachers to Contradict Evolution · · Score: 1

    Or does the bill only protect the "freedom" to teach material on certain selected sides of certain selected controversies? What controversy? There is no scientific controversy in the ID vs. Evolution debate. One side is supported by decades of scientific research in multiple disciplines, and the other is based off the bible and some stuff they made up. If you want to teach the controversy, teach it in a government class, because this debate is really all about politics.
