  1. Just when you think you're having a good day... on Japan Earthquake May Have Shifted Earth's Axis · · Score: 5, Funny

    Shift happens.

  2. Re:Copy Right CRACKdown on White House Wants New Copyright Law Crackdown · · Score: 1

    With all of the problem that we are facing in the United States, how does this even make it into to the top 100?

    With a lot of lobbying, bribes, blackmail and under the desk blowjobs.

  3. The death penalty soon! on White House Wants New Copyright Law Crackdown · · Score: 1

    Because streaming music is a crime worse than murdering kittens with a sledgehammer.

  4. Re:Why Not Give It Away? on Cutting Prices Is the Only Way To Stop Piracy · · Score: 3, Insightful

    This guy does it: http://www.mrexcel.com/

    You can download his books and read them for free. If you like them enough, he will gladly sell you a hard copy. It works so well he's been doing with every new book of his for the last couple of years.

  5. Re:Beer Science? on The Science of Stout Beer · · Score: 1

    Oh dear god, please let Young Einstein stay dead and not come back as a remake!!!

  6. The science of better Guinness on The Science of Stout Beer · · Score: 2

    Now that's science I'll raise my drink to!

  7. The totality of Die Hard 4 on Ask Slashdot: Worst Computer Scene In TV or Movies? · · Score: 1

    I'll let Penny Arcade give you a short overview: http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2007/7/16/

  8. Re:WARNING: This Is Dangerous on Katamari Hack For Chrome (and Compatible Browsers) · · Score: 1

    Not to mention the risk of the song coming on the radio and then you slam your car into a mailbox...

    This is especially problematic if you've also been playing a lot of Burnout Paradise lately. *hits SHOWTIME button and starts singing Katamari theme song*

  9. Just like real life on Should We Have a Right To Be Forgotten Online? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    In a way, the internet is a lot like real life. If you do or say something really stupid, chances are nobody will ever let you live it down anyway.

  10. Good fashion advice on Al-Qaeda Launches "Jihad Cosmo" Magazine · · Score: 1

    Plastic explosives are so last season.

  11. Bart Simpson tried it in the 90's on Gates' Future of Education Straight Out of '60s · · Score: 1

    Apparently Bill never saw the episode where Bart is mistaken for a genius after he steals Martin Prince's IQ test answers and gets sent to a genius school. The entire foundation of teaching over there was based on this system.

  12. Hooray for the Cloud on AT&T To Introduce Broadband Caps · · Score: 1

    ... and for everything happening server side, forcing you to consume bandwidth for things that used to be handled on your computer directly.

  13. Drink for the occasion on Happy Pi Day · · Score: 1

    Have a pair of "Tripel 9" beers and call it a Feynman Point special! http://www.the-home-brew-shop.co.uk/acatalog/BrewFerm_Triple_9_ltr_Beer_Kit.html

  14. Side effects include on Brazilian Spider Bite May Become the Next Viagra · · Score: 5, Funny

    ... itch and irritation at the bite area, headaches, nausea, searing pain, complete paralysis, organ liquefaction, tissue necrosis, death and priapism. Spider venom is not for everyone. Consult your physician if you survive an erection more than 1 hour long.

  15. A more appropriate name: on Smartphone Device Detects Cancer In an Hour · · Score: 3, Funny

    The "Tricorder Attachment"

  16. Re:People associate it wrongly on Microsoft Patent Deems Comic Books Shameful · · Score: 1

    That's an absurd question. As if I'd ever eat at Denny's!

  17. Re:People associate it wrongly on Microsoft Patent Deems Comic Books Shameful · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Just because you don't mention something you like right off the bat doesn't make it shameful. I hardly ever talk of my love of whole grain pepper, but that doesn't make it a dirty secret. Comics are a mainstream interest now, with multi-million dollar movies in the spotlight. Comics are not an under-the-counter phenomenon.

  18. Re:That was stupid of him on Gamer Banned From Dragon Age II Over Forum Post · · Score: 1

    EA comes across as thin skinned and thick headed.

    A giant gorilla with an angry temper and thin skin is still a giant gorilla with an angry temper. Pissing it off to prove that you're within your rights can still get your spine snapped.

  19. That was stupid of him on Gamer Banned From Dragon Age II Over Forum Post · · Score: 1

    If you're going to accuse a corporation of selling their souls to another corporation and imply that they are the devil... for god's sake don't do it on their own forum!

  20. Too easy to back out on Copyright Troll Complains of Defendant's Legal Fees · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Avoid an unfavorable precedent is too easy to do. If the lawsuit instigator was forced to see their lawsuit through even when it doesn't look like a sure win for them, you'd see a lot LESS frivolous lawsuits.

  21. Re:Not hard to track down on $1.2 Million Worth of MS Points Taken After Hackers Figure Out Code Algorithm · · Score: 1

    I purchase MS points a few times a week, and I have a feeling I'm not alone. I don't see how that would help narrow down the evil doers.

    Read my whole post. Once you've narrowed down people who made multiple purchases in a row (a hacker who finds this trick working repeatedly is likely to do it as long as it will work) all they need to do is make sure every one of those names has PAID for his purchases. The idea here was merely to narrow it down to make the payment double-checking part go faster.

  22. Not hard to track down on $1.2 Million Worth of MS Points Taken After Hackers Figure Out Code Algorithm · · Score: 1

    Just look who made more than one purchase of MS points to their account in the last week or two, that will cut down the list of possible suspects significantly. Cross-reference the transactions for which there was payment. You'll find that you have a handy list of those people who will soon find a huge "CHEATER" banner on their Xbox account.

  23. That explains a lot on In Isk We Trust: the EVE Online IskBank Exposed · · Score: 1

    Is that where all the old World of Warcraft gold selling bots went?

  24. Re:Wrong power on DIY Laser Pistol Shoot 1MW Blasts · · Score: 1

    He punched a hole in metal. That's badass enough in my book.

  25. Seriously? on Wi-Fi Shown To Interfere With Aircraft Systems · · Score: 2

    So they're saying that terrorists could bring down planes just by texting each other furiously?
