  1. ohno! on Second Snag This Week Could Delay LHC for Weeks · · Score: 0, Troll

    Seems like God is trying to send us a message...

  2. Superbugs on Nanotech Paint To Kill Bacteria · · Score: 1

    I am still at odds with killing every bacteria whenever possible. Something like 99 percent of E.Coli strains are completely devoured by anyone with a working immune system. Is it really worth taking the risk to kill that 1 percent that will make us slightly sick? Answer: No.

  3. Good. on Criminals Remote-Wiping Cell Phones · · Score: 3, Insightful

    That just means the police need to work a little harder to make a case. It doesn't make it impossible though. The next hope is that they don't outlaw these devices or something. The Brits are a bit jumpy.

  4. Gamers shall... on The Gamer's Bill of Rights · · Score: 5, Funny

    not have to pay fo...wait what?

  5. Re:and Yet... on Hands-on Look At USB 3.0, Spec Details Revealed · · Score: 1

    Finally, something that I can use to max out my quad core!

  6. How Many Tenths Of A Trillion Dollars!? on The World's Nine Largest Science Projects · · Score: 5, Funny

    Better question: how many Libraries of Congress (LoC) would it cost to build a trans-atlantic maglev train. Dumb article.

  7. Free iPhones! on The Impact of Low Salaries At Apple · · Score: 3, Funny

    But the Lord Jobs gave them all free iPhones! That surely has to make up for having to work for the biggest asshole in California.

  8. yeah yeah... on Do Women Write Better Code? · · Score: 5, Funny

    Men's code is sexist and demeaning whereas woman's code will marry you for the divorce settlement.

  9. Re:Most influential on Tim Russert Dies At 58 · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Well he'll be missed by those who don't make dumbass analogies.

  10. Re:Easy question on Are Academic Journals Obsolete? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Peer review can be done online. Journals seem like a more expensive and time-consuming way of peer review that the Internet will probably supplant soon.

  11. Firewall tech on Behind China's Great Firewall · · Score: 5, Funny

    I honestly want to see pictures of that thing. I mean, every single packet that goes in and out of China goes through a giant box. That thing has to be huge to filter any sort of serious bandwidth.

  12. 2TB Hard Drive on Seagate Announces First SSD, 2TB HDD · · Score: -1, Troll

    That'll be what, 10 platters and will run as hot as a processor? No thanks, the last thing i need in my desktop is a spinning nuclear reactor to go along with all the other "hotter than the surface of the sun" components in my box.

  13. Think of the children! on Canadian Domain Name Registrants To Get More Privacy · · Score: 1

    Do the people in Canada have the same mindset as we do in the USA?

  14. Probably Something Stupid on Scientists Discover Teeny Tiny Black Hole · · Score: 1

    I thought that Black Holes had no dimensions, but this one is several miles across. Where have I gone wrong?

  15. Re:This is getting ridiculous on OOXML Will Pass Amid Massive Irregularities · · Score: 5, Insightful

    It seems this has little to do with the USA though. I agree with most of your points, but the countries listed can grow a pair too, you know!

  16. Re:Has anyone tried this on a fingerprint reader? on Hacker Club Publishes German Official's Fingerprint · · Score: 2, Informative

    There was actually a Mythbusters episode that showcased how you could take a fingerprint found on a can and use it on a DoD approved biometric fingerprint scanner. It's really a useless method of security.
