  1. Re:Tiny Flying Robots? on Mosquitos Have Little Trouble Flying in the Rain · · Score: 1

    You don't need to weaponize the tiny robots, just train them to fly up the enemy's nose just like real mosquitoes. Distract your enemy, then attack with the big drones.

  2. Re:Is this a rule? on Have Bad Cars Gone Extinct? · · Score: 5, Funny

    I always loved the saying: "In America, Mercedes are luxury vehicles, in Europe, they are taxis."

  3. Re:good on FDA Backtracks On Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria Proposal · · Score: 1, Insightful

    If enjoying the wonderful taste of a wood roasted tenderloin filet spreads the antibiotic-resistant bacteria around and in the process kills everyone, I am OK with that. We all die eventually, and if others can die for my happiness, cool! :)

  4. How do you get 2 politicians to agree? on Debt Reduction Super Committee Fails To Agree · · Score: 5, Funny

    Line their pockets with gaff and offer them the opportunity to screw over the public.

  5. 50k Pages of Tax Code on GAO Criticizes IRS Over Serious IT Deficiencies · · Score: 1

    With over 50,000 pages of tax code, it is pretty obvious that nothing the IRS is going to do is going to be efficient. But I would suspect they believe in security through obscurity.

  6. Something actually passed on Obama To Veto Anti-Net-Neutrality Legislation · · Score: 2

    You mean something may actually pass both houses?

  7. Gestapo on Help Rename the Department of Homeland Security · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Gestapo Much easier to say, and the groups seem to be getting more and more similar each day.

  8. Hello Pot on Apple Claims Samsung and Motorola Patent Monopoly · · Score: 1

    Hello Pot? This is the lawyers from Kettle, seems that black is patented.

  9. ADHD on Is the Quick Death of Failed Tech Products a Good Thing? · · Score: 1

    When the target audience suffers from ADHD, get the failures out of the market as quick as possible and hope your next product will be a success.

    The one advantage to ADHD, is people forget failures a lot faster than they forget successes.

  10. Working People on Court Filing On How 2004 Ohio Election Hacked · · Score: -1, Troll

    Hmm, could that sudden shift have been caused by people getting off of work and then voting?

    All it takes is looking at your paycheck and seeing how much is taken out by the government and most people think twice about electing someone who promises to raise taxes.

  11. Re:Original blog post on Build Your Own 135TB RAID6 Storage Pod For $7,384 · · Score: 1

    This reminds me of the Sun 4500 which held 48 drives. Based off an AMD processor running Solaris x86 and ZFS.

    The overall concept is great, but in practice replacing bad drives was a pain.

    When I asked the Sun rep about replacing the drives, he said about once a year or when you get about half a dozen drives failed, power down the system, pull it out of the rack and replace the failed drives.

    Would I store critical data on something like this, hell no. You get what you pay for.

  12. Punishment to fit the crime on FBI Executes Nationwide Raid of Anonymous Members · · Score: 1

    I think their punishment should be they all have to convert to Scientology.

  13. Losing Battle on Amazon Drops California Associates to Avoid Sales Tax · · Score: 1

    Amazon is fighting the good fight, but it is a losing battle.
    With states hurting for tax dollars, online retailers are being targeted as a source of income for the states.

    The days of tax free internet orders is coming to an end.

    I do have sympathy for online retailers, if there was a simple tax rate for each state, it would not be so bad, but each county, each city, certain merchandise all have different tax rates. What a accounting nightmare to keep up with. Every time you turn around another city council is passing another tax on something, having to keep up with would be next to impossible.

  14. Child Labor on School Super Asks Governor To Make His School District a Prison · · Score: 1

    If schools were prisons, the children would be forced to work during the day making stuff.

    About time those little bastards become useful.

  15. Godzilla on Undersea Cables Damaged By Earthquake · · Score: 1, Funny

    This is a government cover up, we all know it was actually Godzilla that caused it!

  16. Re:They're serious? They can't be serious. on MPAA Threatens To Disconnect Google From Internet · · Score: 1

    All they would need to do is consult with China.

  17. Re:Do fighters still matter? on First Pictures of Chinese Stealth Fighter · · Score: 1

    Three letters for you, L.P.B. - Low Ping Bitch

    To transfer commands to an unmanned aircraft requires usually a satellite connection which have very high latencies.
    Anyone who has played a first person shooter knows that latency is a killer.
    In order for an unmanned aircraft to be effective it must first locate the enemy, engage the enemy and then destroy the enemy.
    All of this information is sent back and forth via a high latency connection. While we are only talking seconds, a second is combat could mean you live or you die.
    Having a pilot in air to air combat will still be needed. The LPB usually wins.

  18. Re:No laws restricting free speech on Saudi Arabia Requiring License For Online Media · · Score: 1

    By revoke, you mean execute the person, correct?

  19. Re:Dear CmdrTaco, on Skype For iPhone Now Makes Video Calls · · Score: 1

    You realize that you are posting to an audience that can't even RTFA.

  20. Is this really an issue? on Is Your Laptop Cooking Your Testicles? · · Score: 5, Funny

    Last I heard women on webcam can't get pregnant over the internet.

  21. North Dakota is perfect on IT's Last Hope — a Job In the Boonies? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Land is cheap and plentiful. Could use methane from cows to generate electricity.

    Would not need any cooling 11 months of the year, just vent in air from the outside.

    Of course you would have to close the vents 6 months of the year to keep the computer chips from freezing over.

    What do North Dakotans do during the summer? On that one day they go golfing.

  22. Re:doesn't solve the problem on Could Crowdsourcing Help the SEC Detect Fraud? · · Score: 1

    This from an agency that just got itself excluded from the Freedom of Information Act in the recent Financial Overhaul Legislation.

  23. As long as the government can turn it off on Al Franken's Warning On Net Neutrality · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I am sure the government wants net neutrality as long as the government can shut it off.

    Oh, and when the Internet is not shut off, I am pretty sure the government will require it to be completely monitored and filtered.

    Just think of the children!

  24. What is the truth? on Given Truth, the Misinformed Believe Lies More · · Score: 1

    We are so accustomed to be lied to by every facet, what is the truth anymore?

    MSNBC tells us one thing, Fox news tells us the opposite. The media can not be trusted to tell any truth.

    Then you have political correctness, when even if you do know the truth you can not tell it because it may upset some group.

    Face it, truth is dead, pick what lies make you feel the happiest.

  25. Roman Polanski on Wikileaks Founder Advised To Avoid American Gov't · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    If a child molester can avoid the US Government, he should have no problems.

    Just don't give the US a freebie and step on US soil.
