  1. Re:Am I missing something or on Hans Reiser To Reveal Location of Wife's Body · · Score: 1

    What I don't understand is when people get more than one life sentence. I suppose you could say that they're parallel life sentences, and not five consecutive lives, but it still sounds stupid.

  2. Re:The rigors of kindergarten on Obama Would Redirect NASA Funding to Education · · Score: 1

    "Mommy, can I go out and play?"

    "Oh no you don't! Not until you've studied up for your advanced color identification exam!"

    Student: That color is light blue. Teacher: Wrong bitch! That's cyan!
  3. Gret way to prove uncorrupt on Paraguay Telco Hijacks DNS Before Elections · · Score: 5, Funny

    Oh yeah, hijack a site saying you're corrupt. What a great way to prove that you're not.

  4. Just go to the "application vendors" on Microsoft Designed UAC to Annoy Users · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Why not just tell the application vendors to "eliminate as many unnecessary privilege escalations as possible"? It would be an easier way to solve the problem, plus less people would hate their operating system.

  5. What can I say.... on Robots Fly Over Antarctica · · Score: 1

    Transformers, Robots in da skies!

  6. Re:Get a neighbor to help test your connection? on Verizon, Fiber Or Die? · · Score: 1

    I should make a ISP company. I can claim to be up to infinitely faster than dial-up, because if the dial-up line is cut, and mine isn't I am. The speed won't happen often, but it can be up to that fast.

  7. Anonymous Lawmaker on State Lawmaker Wants To Ban Anonymous Posting Online · · Score: 1

    According to a local news article from last week, a Kentucky state lawmaker, wants to ban anonymous posting on the internet in order to 'cut down on online bullying', which he says has been 'a particular problem in eastern Kentucky.' However, this lawmaker wishes to remain anonymous because he realizes that people will think he is not very intelligent as the law would be impossible to enforce, and the Supreme Court has already found anonymous posting to be constitutional.

  8. Opera on Acid3 Test Released · · Score: 1

    Internet explorer didn't even load the refrence page correctly. (Okay, maybe it did).

    On a more serious note, Opera 9.21 got a 46, after crashing the first time at 36.

  9. Re:Mandatory IQ and other cognitive ability on Getting The Public To Listen To Good Science · · Score: 1

    Removing warning labels would be an easy way to do that. As an example, a google search for something as stupid as "Do not attempt to stop chainsaw with hands" returned 156 results. (Including things about "Do not attempt to stop chainsaw with hands or genitals." I sure needed to be told that.)

  10. Virtual Labs Guy on Microsoft's "Source Fource" Action Figures · · Score: 1

    This was actually the first of several "mods" he had done, the most recent being what he playfully calls a "glove box." In the interest of sparing our more delicate readers, we won't go into the details of where that might be.

    This is prime material for Queer Eye for the Straight Guy. He's a die-hard fan.
