  1. Esquire the Magazine. on Air Force Planning New Drone Fleet For Pakistan · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Esquire.com top 3 stories:
    This one.
    The greatest karaoke song of all time.
    How the american man "really" spends his day.

    Not sure that I would put all my magical beans into that lone basket.

  2. Re:Well . . . . on You're (Probably) Not Going To Be a Pro Blogger · · Score: 1

    LOL

    Like the AC mentioned, I was simply trying for some light hearted humor. Sometimes I get modded up and sometimes I get trolled.

    Nice article though.

  3. Re:Noah knows. on The State of Iran's Ongoing Netwar · · Score: 1

    I noticed that WhereIsMyVote.info is taken down for "spam" and "abuse" according to whois.net

  4. Impressed on The State of Iran's Ongoing Netwar · · Score: 5, Insightful

    TFA was one of the best written, well thought out blogs I've ever had the pleasure to read. Indeed JournalSquared should be invited to be an admin here at /.

  5. Well . . . . on You're (Probably) Not Going To Be a Pro Blogger · · Score: 4, Funny

    "The WSJ article 'doesn't discuss how people actually use their blogs to make money, which is by selling ancillary services."

    What ancillary services are we talking about here? 1/2 hour, 1 hour, or 2 hours "donations" for services rendered?

  6. Disaster? on Weather Balloons To Provide Broadband In Africa · · Score: 2, Insightful

    So what happens then when these untethered balloons are floating up into the jet stream and a Airbus or 747 doesn't pick it up on radar and the damn thing floats right into the jet intake, causing an explosion and bringing down 400 souls to their death?

  7. 30 Percent! on Gold Sold From Vending Machines In Germany · · Score: 0, Redundant

    If gold is selling for $1K per ounce, a 30 percent increase is $300!!

  8. Slashdot on Kindle Pricing, Business Models and Source Code · · Score: 1

    I noticed the Slashdot plug on the Kindle website - LOL.

  9. Come on, It's Iran already on Statistical Suspicions In Iran's Election · · Score: 1, Troll

    Like Iran has ever - ever done anything underhanded.

    And if you believe that, I have some more kool-aid for you to drink.

  10. Re:Worried, maybe. on Researchers Build a Browser-Based Darknet · · Score: 3, Insightful

    You mean, like, our own government?

    Have you no shame?

  11. Worried, maybe. on Researchers Build a Browser-Based Darknet · · Score: 4, Interesting

    The researchers admit darknets are attractive to bad guys, too.

    Yeah, I would be worried about all those sock hat wearing pedophiles out there.

    Of course maybe Craigslist could use it to advertise their wares.

  12. Re:This doesn't look good on Revived Microbe May Hold Clues For ET Lifeforms · · Score: 1

    The odds of a 120,000-year-old bacteria turning out to be dangerous are minuscule.

    Agreed, however, that doesn't mean there aren't pathogens out there that small that we just haven't found yet.

    My tin foil hat stays on.

  13. This doesn't look good on Revived Microbe May Hold Clues For ET Lifeforms · · Score: 4, Interesting

    but it can pass through a 0.2 micron filter... If there are other ultra-small bacteria that are pathogens, then they could be present in solutions presumed to be sterile.

    Okay, I'm sufficiently worried enough to get my tin hat.

  14. Applications? on Buckyballs Polymerized Into Buckywires · · Score: 3, Interesting

    If threads are created and those threads are woven into a fabric, then what kind of ballistic applications could we expect? Could panels be made from strands of buckysballs and into new car skins? Aircraft?

  15. So . . . on Passengers Cheat Flu Scan With Fever Reducers · · Score: 2, Interesting

    If they avoided detection by the offending scanner, then how were they detected to be scanner cheaters?

  16. What's Next? on A Black Day For Internet Freedom In Germany · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Are gonna start tagging "children" with gps locator tag subcutaneous inserts?

    Then we start with those older folks suffering from dementia?

    Then we go on next to those who committed felonies?

    Finally, making it a requirement for all people who want to work, buy groceries, etc?

    What's next?

  17. Beginning of the end? on NASA To Trigger Massive Explosion On the Moon In Search of Ice · · Score: 2, Informative

    Okay, what about geekette?

  22. A$$ kickin' time on Camara Goes On Offense Against the RIAA · · Score: 4, Insightful

    It's time to kick some serious RIAA boo-tay.

    On a more serious note, it warms my heart to find that there is at least a couple of "good" lawyers out there who have their clients best interest at heart.

    NYCountryLawyer excluded - dude you do good work.

  23. Re:First Post on Frank Herbert's Moisture Traps May Be a Reality · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    GOATSE! Is that you?

  24. Gimmee a break on RIAA Wants To Bar Jammie From Making Objections · · Score: 3, Insightful

    That would be like me standing over you with a baseball bat and:

    a. You are not allowed to defend yourself

    b. You can not attack back

    c. You can not yell for help

    d. And if you do survive, you can neither charge me or sue me.

  25. Re:!embroyonic on Stem Cells Restore Sight For Corneal Disease Patients · · Score: 1

    Agreed!

    In fact, I am not sure that there has been even one single break through that wasn't from adult stem cells.
