  1. Re:Bloody Brilliant Idea on Police Shame Pranksters On YouTube · · Score: 4, Funny

    I wouldn't exactly call the Youth of America contenders for the Olympics in the categories of Intelligence and Common Sense.

    I can't wait to see these events on tv. I wonder if anyone will spontaneously catch fire after they lose an event?

  2. Re:Paucity on 20 Features Windows 7 Should Include · · Score: 1

    Yeah, but it is hard finding Windows 98 on CD these days.

  3. Re:Spoilers eh on Movie Review, Hellboy II · · Score: 1

    Just wait until these signs have little disclaimer signs attached to them: "Reading signs may cause undue paranoia"

  4. Re:Common Sense? on Open Source Adeona Tracks Lost & Stolen Laptops · · Score: 1

    Encrypt stuff you care about (in a hidden volume might be nice) and leave lots of porn and other goodies so they are encouraged not to wipe the machine.

  5. Re:Censorship set up? on Spammers Announce World War III · · Score: 1

    I thought it was so the government could make a list of the first people to arrest?

  6. Re:No Shit? on Online "Public" Spaces Don't Guarantee Rights · · Score: 5, Funny

    1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW Washington, DC 20500 Just hop the fence and come right in.

  7. Re:I'll pass. on Adopt-a-Star To Fund Research · · Score: 1
    Maybe this website will give you some ideas:

    I've got dibs on 258008918

  8. Re:But the planets... on Adopt-a-Star To Fund Research · · Score: 1

    The certificate gives you the right to homestead whatever you put a fence around, assuming you get there before anyone else and/or can kill off whatever may already be there.

  9. They should use this here on earth on Adopt-a-Star To Fund Research · · Score: 3, Funny

    Maybe people could adopt individual grains of sand at the beach, to raise money to help keep the beaches clean. The hard part is writing the chosen names with a sharpie on each grain of sand.

  10. Where you were??? on Geomicroblogging, Buzzword or Reality? · · Score: 0, Redundant

    I'll always know where I was when I twittered to tell everyone I was in the john. Hopefully in the john. Man twitter is so incredibly useful.

  11. Re:This guy has a point. on Telecom Amnesty Foes On the Move · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I keep hoping Obama wins and uses the newly ill-gotten presidential powers of warrentless wiretapping to expose all kinds of naughty things that the Republicans are up to. Horribly wrong yet terribly amusing.

  12. Re:Why alarm bells? on Firefox 3 Already Rules the Roost · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Personally I enjoy the extra ten seconds per add-ridden page I add to my life where I am not waiting for all the useless ad content to load. But hey whatever floats your boat.

  13. Re:E-Paper is the way to go for this type of app on Researchers Demo Flippable-Page E-book Reader · · Score: 2, Funny

    "Next" and "Back" buttons were too confusing for people who can't read, so they made this feature to help them out.

  14. Re:Why? on Researchers Demo Flippable-Page E-book Reader · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Exactly; meanwhile they still cost too much and how do they compare for readability to a printed page again? Let me know when they come down below $100 and are as readable as a printed book, otherwise you can add all kinds of great features that add no value for me (and probably 99% of the potential ebook users out there).

  15. Re:God damnit on Lego Secret Vault Contains All Sets In History · · Score: 2, Interesting

    At least now I have item number 40 on my "list of things to do when I am the last person on the planet". How cool would it be to build a life sized house out of these legos???

  16. Re:Well, two things come to mind on Man Selling His Life On eBay · · Score: 2, Funny

    People who have no imagination, and can't imagine themselves without any possessions or money?

  17. Re:Wait - I've got a MUCH better idea... on The Beginnings of a TLD Free-For-All? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Yeah, but then we would never find out who is stronger; will it be the soft drink maker, or the drug dealers who end up with the .coke domain???

  18. Re:Politicians will vote for the law on New FISA Bill Would Grant Telcoms Immunity; Vote Is Tomorrow · · Score: 5, Insightful

    At least this vote will make it painfully clear which politicians should stay and which should be removed post-haste.

  19. Re:Why talk on GE Microbes Make Ersatz Crude Oil From Many Sources · · Score: 1

    I wonder how hard it would be to sell a product with almost no extraction at all? Just to play dressup with a tinfoil hat for a bit, what if Saudi Arabia already had this technology and was able to produce oil for cents per barrel, but was still selling it at current rates because we were too dumb to realize it? By the way if I disappear tomorrow, it won't be hard to guess what happened to me.

  20. Re:Skynet precedes Terminator on Final Skynet Satellite Launched · · Score: 1

    That will be small consolation when the terminators are killing us.

  21. Re:What you do is... on How To Teach a Healthy Dose of Skepticism? · · Score: 1

    Or will your kids just learn to not trust anything that YOU say?

  22. Re:Not surprising... on Yahoo Ends Talks With Microsoft, Embraces Google Instead · · Score: 5, Funny

    I have always found it amusing that MSN returns 142,000 hits for Ubuntu while Goooogle returns 93,400,000 hits (and yahoo returns 174,000,000). Either MSN is filtering results or they just aren't indexing the web very well.

  23. Re:What Yahoo Wants? on Yahoo Ends Talks With Microsoft, Embraces Google Instead · · Score: 1

    Make sure to pick a restaurant she hates (and preferably one you like), and suddenly she will start to voice an opinion.

  24. Re:Herman Miller Aeron... on Best Chair For Desktop Coding? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    How about $40 for a cheap chair and a $300 gift certificate to a good massage therapist?

  25. Front lawn on Google's Brin Books a Space Flight · · Score: 2, Funny

    If you live in Michigan and still have a front lawn that hasn't washed away, consider yourself lucky.
