  1. Aren't I the living satan on Firefox Users Stay Ahead On the Update Curve · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Well I still use version 1.5.0.12. Just minimize those annoying upgrade popups every time they pop up. 10 clicks & they just give an error & next day it's another popup for another upgrade. You mean those weren't advertizements? Well, probably just destroyed someone's TimeWarner stock.

  2. Burt vs. NASA on New Pictures of White Knight Two and SpaceshipTwo · · Score: 1

    This is a lot more progress than NASA made on Ares I in the same amount of time.

  3. Thank god on In Japan, a 900 Gigabyte Upload Cap, Downloads Uncapped · · Score: 1

    No more hand held, blurry, shaky, home movies of yesterday's wedding.

  4. vulcanism & iron defficiency on First Results From Messenger's Mercury Flyby · · Score: 4, Funny

    Volcanic eruptions & iron deficiency sound like a planetary version of Hillary Clinton.

  5. VA Research/Linux/Software 2.0 on Xandros Reportedly Buys Out Linspire · · Score: 1

    Glad that's over. Maybe they should rename it Perspire. Don't let your Linspiration become your Perspiration.

  6. Now for WMV & AVI on Microsoft Releases Pre-2007 Binary File Format Specs · · Score: 1

    Only 30 years to go until all the nuances of WMV & AVI are known. What combination of 2 & 0x2000 means mp3?

  7. -5 for negativity on Google/Apple on Some Developers Leaving Google For Microsoft · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    This article gets modded down for negativity on Google/Apple. Well, after flunking Google's phone screening process, probably wouldn't enjoy it there either. They have so many fanboys applying for jobs, it's inevitably who knows the most arcane details about sed & awk who gets in, & how fun is working around people like that?

  8. taking NASA seriously on Ares V Rocket Bigger and Stronger For Moon Mission · · Score: 1

    Well I can draw a rocket with 8 engines & 4 boosters. Take that, NASA.

  9. Sure. Next article on NASA to Launch Solar Sail · · Score: 3, Insightful

    > It will travel to space onboard a SpaceX Falcon 1 rocket

    Good luck with that one. They can't even get any time on the island because they have to beg & steal for government launch facilities.

    A bit disappointing that the space station isn't being used for breathrough research like this. Instead it's busy enough keeping itself alive & selling Buzz lightyear promos.

  10. Just $1.4 million for the house on IRobot Looj Gutter Cleaning Robot Review · · Score: 1

    Now all I need is $1.4 million for a house. Maybe iRobot would provide a free house to do a Looj Cutter review with.

    Considering most of the money on this product is made in Asia, they should think of an easier name.

  11. The next planetary scandal on Pieces of Ancient Earth May Be Hidden On the Moon · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Can just see the reaction to this. Life can't survive elsewhere in the solar system. It's all pieces of Earth that got blown out.

  12. Good one on US Halts Applications For Solar Energy Projects · · Score: 1

    So obvious what's going on, it's funny.

  13. too much to carry around on A Marine's-Eye View of the Networked Battlefield · · Score: 1

    Maybe it would be more useful if they didn't need to carry around so many gadgets.

  14. where's the picture on Mars Had an Ancient Impact Like Earth · · Score: 1

    Where's the picture of the crater?

  15. rastermoko on Openmoko's Open Source Phone Goes Mass-Market · · Score: 1

    Rasterman, who hardly anyone probably still remembers works there. $400 is incredibly high for GPRS. It's like reading about a new toaster oven for $1000. Maybe they're giving away free Moko 2's to everyone who buys a Moko 1 after May 31.

  16. Obviously if you're not in Silicon Valley on Huge Traffic On Wikipedia's Non-Profit Budget · · Score: 1

    Obviously U can pay much less outside Silicon Valley. If you want investment capital & lots of customers you have to be physically in Silicon Valley and pay the millions of dollars. Even Kiwipedia had to move its office to San Francisco & the data center is going to follow if they can get enough donations.

  17. You mean green tech isn't the meaning of life? on New Grads Shun IT Jobs As "Boring" · · Score: 1

    Thought this was the technology to rule them all. Don't U get excited about Java specs and making a twinky router take 1% less energy to sleep?

  18. Google is not Toyota on Android Phones Delayed · · Score: 1

    Google is not going to finish consumer appliances. They can tinker & experiment with unrelated pieces of software & release software betas. They got the search & Adsense finished. A finished consumer gadget with all the hardware & software functionality debugged & perfected is a different story. They couldn't possibly finish it without outsourcing a lot of it.

  19. Um. Yeaaah on The Principles of Project Management · · Score: 1

    In the modern uber large multinational large cap corporations, project management is actually done by a bunch of people. 1 guy manages the workers. 1 guy manages the schedules. 1 guy sells it to the customer. Insecure guys at the top hire more & more mediocre managers to pass the blame on to so it is more finely broken up over time.

  20. You got it all wrong on Twitter As a Campaigning Tool · · Score: 2, Funny

    Digg is the ultimate campaigning tool. No. Boingboing is the ultimate campaigning tool. No. Damn day traders.

  21. Stock price artificial intelligence on Whatever Happened To AI? · · Score: 1

    Whenever the stock price for a green tech startup reaches a certain amount it becomes an artificial intelligence startup.

  22. only 900 standards to go on Sun's Java Will Be Free This Year · · Score: 1

    Now they only need to get the OCAP standards open sourced.

  23. Getting Georgiahans rich on Georgia's New State Health Plan Is Google · · Score: 1

    Maybe they'll feel richer now that they're partaking of the goodness of a multbillion dollar CEO.

  24. The free ride is over on Blogger Launches 'Google Bomb' At McCain · · Score: 1

    The free ride for workers is over. You've been stealing money at your boss'es expense by renting & getting steady paychecks while your bosses have been getting soaked by real estate deflation. It's time to put that money back into real estate where it belongs.

  25. Fiction on US House Approves Over $300 Million For Science Agencies · · Score: 1

    Should be noted these increases are not expected to go through. The media

    http://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/local/state/orl-nasa1908jun19,0,253051.story

    has stated they're what would get passed if the next president supported increased spending, but under the current tightwad, voters should expect everything except defense to be held at current levels.

    Heaven forbid another penny pinching tightwad get elected.
