  1. Re:Did humans and Neanderthals interbreed? on Neanderthals "Had Sex" With Modern Man · · Score: 1

    You, sir, are my new hero, even though you posted a funnier version of what I was about to.

  2. Re:We can finally explain wherefore Celtic people on Neanderthals "Had Sex" With Modern Man · · Score: 1

    The style seems familiar... have you sent a lot of hatemail here by any chance?

  3. Re:huh? on Has the Glory Gone Out of Working In IT? · · Score: 1

    Is there a variant of Godwin's Law that covers someone saying it's all Microsoft's fault?

  4. Re:Strength? on Green Cement Absorbs Carbon · · Score: 1

    Yep, and apparently "way down" means fourth. Admittedly it's tiny compared to fossil fuel consumption, but did anyone really doubt that?

  5. Easy... on The Biggest Cults In Tech · · Score: 1

    Jobs, Gates, Jack Thompson. Oh... it said cults.

  6. 98.3% of users inactive on Wikipedia Almost Reaches $6 Million Target · · Score: 1

    I suspect that this is because most people sign up to edit or create a specific page, or just because it seemed like a good idea at the time, and don't have anything interesting or relevant to say about anything else. I know not having anything interesting or relevant to say doesn't stop all of the other 1.7%, but there you go.

  7. Erm... on UK Outlines Plan For Internet Black Boxes · · Score: 5, Informative

    Isn't this story wildly inaccurate, at least according to The Register?

  8. Meccano? on Where to Find Axles, Gears For Kinetic Sculpture? · · Score: 0

    I'm not sure whether Meccano is available in America, but for model making it would be worth searching out the old stuff on Ebay. They either make or have made pretty much any mechanical component you can imagine.

  9. Re:blah the emporer has his new clothes on again. on The Walking House · · Score: 1, Funny

    And this time next week £30,000 will be about $5.50.

  10. Quite right too on Yoko Ono/EMI Suit Exposes Fair Use Flaw · · Score: 1

    Imagine? They deserve to be sued just for lack of taste.

  11. Bose supernova? on Another Way the LHC Could Self-Destruct · · Score: 1

    Would a Bose supernova sound great, but cost more than any other supernova?

  12. Re: what UR paying 4 texting on OMG Did U C What U R Paying 4 Texting? · · Score: 1

    shurely, "wot U R paying 4 txtng"?

  13. Wow... on EMI Says Online File Storage Is Illegal · · Score: 1

    The music industry continues to endear itself to everyone.

  14. Re:sweet on 'Hundreds of Worlds' in Milky Way · · Score: 1

    OK, some of these things just don't make sense - "could of", for example, which is presumably a back-formation from "could've", and "different than". But "fill out" is just idiomatic, isn't it?
    Incidentally the last sentence is the most pompous thing I've read in a while. Good work.
