  1. reality distortion field on Obama Launches Change.gov · · Score: 0

    If OOOObs wrote the word "change" on a napkin, the napkin would suddenly be worth $700 billion. He has renamed barackobama.com with the same content & the reality distortion field has declared its new content created in the last 4 months.

  2. Secretary of steroids on Bill Joy For New National CTO Post? · · Score: 1

    Obi also said he'd make Michael Phelps secretary of steroids!

  3. Bad news for the Goog on Motorola Moving to Android, Windows Mobile for Smartphones · · Score: 1

    If that house of pain Motorola gets involved in Android sales, it'll start bleeding it's disasterous management into the Goog's advertising revenue utopia & take the Goog down with it. Anything but a Motorola/Goog partnership. Why not Nokia or GM, or Chrystler?

  4. what about tent surface prototypes on Secondlight, Microsoft's New Surface Prototype · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Making computer screens out of $10,000 coffee tables for $2,000,000 home refinancers is so 2006. It's time for tent screen prototypes for the renters.

  5. Are Java standards that hot? on Running Google Android On iPhone Clones · · Score: 1

    If people gladly replaced iPhone's simple Objective C interfaces to run Goog's insanely complex Java implementations instead, that would be something about human nature.

  6. How to make it last another year on Mars Lander Faces Slow Death · · Score: 2, Funny

    Obama could make it run for another year.

  7. Lion feeding frenzy on Discuss the US Presidential Election & the Economy · · Score: 1

    Lion feeding frenzy was a good documentary on how your government works. Despite all that, humans have amazingly evolved to place their complete confidence in leadership to solve all their problems.

  8. middle management's wet dream on Brains Work Best At Age of 39 · · Score: 1

    I finally have a reason to fire all my employees over 39 years old, ha, ha, ha!!

  9. extreme p2p lending on Cellphone Banking Helping To Fight Poverty In India · · Score: 1

    P2P lending will be the way all banking is done in the future. The task of millions of computers automatically distributing tiny amounts of money among themselves seems to require immense amounts of data storage & transaction processing, there's no reason the software can't be done.

  10. Looks like segway when it first appeared on Robotic Surgery On a Beating Heart · · Score: 1

    Modern machine control, sensors, & servos are so advanced, it creates sights that look like they shouldn't be possible. Eventually surgery on marathon runners during a marathon will look as normal as segways. Too bad there aren't any jobs in machine control.

  11. preposterous on Simulation of the Mars Science Laboratory Sky Crane · · Score: 1

    The skycrane seemed preposterous originally & still does. Having said that, autonomous helicopters are pretty germane nowadays & everyone knows about Stanford's aerobatic helicopter so maybe it's not so crazy anymore.

  12. fuggetaboudit on Tax Write-Offs For Free (As In Speech) Work? · · Score: 1

    Money spent on computers, rented space, electricity, & time for writing free software is all after taxes. U better start charging money.

  13. java look & feel on Full Review of the T-Mobile G1 Android Device · · Score: 1

    Looks like what U expect from Java & HAVI widgets. It has those frequent lags, as it loads & precompiles blocks of the massive Java standards.

  14. where's the video on Single Neuron Wired To Muscle Un-Paralyzes Monkeys · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Where's the video of the mokeys playing video games with the bionic nerves?

  15. this is going to be fun on Sex Offender E-Mail Registry Signed Into Law · · Score: 1

    Time to gather all your boss's email addresses.

  16. Future nobel lauriates: Karl Marx & Vladimir L on Paul Krugman Awarded Nobel Prize For Economics · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Well, no surprise from the committee that gave Mr. Peanut the nobel peace prize.

  17. advertising - dot com - space travel on Esther Dyson To Train For Space Flight · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Any dot com superstar executives reinvest their winnings in their own product or do they all want to be astronauts instead?

  18. and no-one cares on Transmeta Up For Sale · · Score: 1

    The inventor of Linux made $200,000 there in a time of $1 gas and $200,000 houses. Transmeta was a star, like VA Research & Redhat. They were going to make something that they wouldn't talk about. Finally they revealed it was going to be a mobile CPU. Now who knows where Linus is & Transmeta is gone. At least the software was free.

  19. the one that's going to put java over the top on SDK Shoot Out, Android Vs. IPhone · · Score: 1

    Standards based programming has been a hit for businesses, but not for hobbyists. The Goog is saying it can finally make standards based programming a hit for hobbyists. The standards are gigantic. If you ever fully wrap your mind around the JMF or the MHP standards to program something useful on them, your output looks like everyone else's output. Anything which the standard doesn't support requires a huge investment in a native implementation + Java implementation.

  20. no high resolution photos on Endeavour Rolled Out As Rescue Ship · · Score: 1

    Sadly, no-one has ever released a high resolution photo of a double shuttle stack & probably never will.

  21. poor excuse to get out of Java standards on Don't Count Cobol Out · · Score: 1

    You will be assimilated & spend the rest of your life in Bangalore implementing crazy Java standards written by MBA's during their Colorado ski trips who have no idea what they're doing.

  22. 2 laws of corporate offices were broken on Intel Shows Data Centers Can Get By (Mostly) With Little AC · · Score: 1

    Employees in the data center had windows & they were allowed to open the windows.

  23. voters will just create more recycling taxes on Report is Critical of US For Dumping E-Waste Overseas · · Score: 1

    They'll keep voting for more recycling taxes until they're actually used for recycling.

  24. but think of the recycling taxes on Report is Critical of US For Dumping E-Waste Overseas · · Score: 1

    Think of all the mortgages we're bailing out by not spending those recycling taxes on recycling.

  25. these are Cray branded Walmart PC's on Unholy Matrimony? Microsoft and Cray · · Score: 1

    These are just standard issue Intel PC's wired up in a cluster like every other modern supercomputer & sold under the Cray brand.
