    Ok. Is this meme dead? I didn't get the e-mail.

    would like to welcome our robotic driver overlords.

  3. Re:Chuck Norris... on Facebook Master Password Was "Chuck Norris" · · Score: 4, Insightful

    That joke is so clever you get modded insightful for calling it clever. It had to be about Chuck Norris.

  4. Re:TFA on Smartphones Receive Holy Blessing · · Score: 1

    God tried to post on the articles website and communicate His wisdom on the people. But the site was slashdotted. Maybe next time, God.

  5. Awkward on CES, Reporter Breaks "Unbreakable" Mobile Phone · · Score: 1

    The "unbreakable" phone being actually breakable is nothing extraordinary, but the awkward position the reporter puts the guy on is priceless. And I have to tell you the reporter was pretty gentle with the phone.

  6. Re:bad writing. on Mozilla Starts To Follow a New Drumbeat · · Score: 1

    I have, myself, reconsidered, after reading this summary, what good writing is.

  7. What's important on Droid Touchscreen Less Accurate Than iPhone's · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Although drawling lines might be important to some, what really matters to most smartphone users is how the phone responds to misclicks. Is it able to detect it and adjust accordingly? There is more to it then the accuracy of the screen. You are using your phone while standing or walking so even if the screen is 100% accurate you probably won't be. What kind of correction algorithm the phone has to compensate for that?
    Of course creating a considerate test is too much trouble and just saying that the iPhone touchscreen is more accurate then Google's scores you plenty of apple-love.

  8. Re:Obviously... on Droid Touchscreen Less Accurate Than iPhone's · · Score: 1, Informative

    Yes, the droid that most accurately responds to your finger can now be found at http://www.truecompanion.com/

    Due to cost cuts the previous post has no brs.

    1. Lay off staff 2. Hire Oompa-Loompas 3. Profit!

  11. Re:It's time to kick ass and chew bubble gum on Duke Nukem Forever Not Dead? (Yes, This Again) · · Score: 1

    It's time to release Duke Nuke Forever and chew bubble gum and there is plenty of gum.

  12. Re:My brain/eyes are incompatible with 3D TV/movie on Hot Or Not — 3D TV · · Score: 3, Insightful

    It happens to me too and it doesn't go away after 10 minutes as other commenter posted. I watched Avatar 2D and headache-free.

  13. Invisibility? on Making a Liquid Invisibility Cloak · · Score: 5, Funny

    I'll believe it when I see it.

  14. Re:Oh Noes on Microsoft Seeks Patent On Shaming Fat Gamers · · Score: 1

    Playstation: because if you wanted to go outside and exercise you'd be outside exercising.

  15. Re:And presumably all this will be done.... on Microsoft Seeks Patent On Shaming Fat Gamers · · Score: 1

    They'll be packaging the newer versions of the Windows OS on barrels instead of boxes. All for the good of mankind.

  16. Re:The mostest on BetaNet Sues Everyone For Remote SW Activation · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It is not like prior art and genericism ever stopped patent trolls.

    And of course, this was filed in our favoritest of favorite places: Marshall, TX

    So this is the mostest patent-trolliest of companies? Yay!
    When are they going to patent "patent trolling"? It would be nice to counter-sue a patent troll with a patent trolling patent.

    Sure, just convert the money raised to a palestinian charity of your choosing.

  20. Re:Shocking on The Perfect Way To Slice a Pizza · · Score: 1

    Well, this is in Science.

  21. Wrong on Hand Written Clock · · Score: 5, Funny

    The clock is wrong. I wonder if it is due to daylight saving time.

  22. Re:Nasa is indeed WISE on NASA WISE Satellite Blasts Into Space · · Score: -1, Redundant

    FAIL, first-post attempt is lost.

  23. Not really on B&N Nook Successfully Opened · · Score: 5, Insightful

    If those 3G connections are not VPNed exclusively to B&Ns servers that is criminally stupid. If they are, then there is no big deal here, they just showed how you can get full access to a device you purchased. The way it should be.

  24. Re:I'm just pwning your server if that's ok... on Hackers Find Home In Amazon EC2 Cloud · · Score: 1

    You can always reconnect through Facebook.
