  1. Re:They've been researchin this in Japan for year on A Mobile Phone Mesh That Can Survive Carrier Network Failure · · Score: 1

    We've been testing them across the ocean by embedding the devices in whales. We have peculiar areas of downtime in the waters around Japan and Australia...

  2. Re:Looking at the contractor web site on Relaunched Recovery.gov Fails Accessibility Standards · · Score: 1

    Obviously they used their own corporate web site

    Seems like it. Their standards seem to be "well, we can access it!".

  3. Reliance on Flash? on Relaunched Recovery.gov Fails Accessibility Standards · · Score: 1

    At least it isn't Silverlite, I guess. Lesser of two evils? Fuck them, anyway, none of this kind of crap should be on a .gov.

  4. Wait for the new one to come out and the 10TiB disc+player will be approaching on the horizon...

  5. Re:Wow on Exoplanet Has Showers of Pebbles · · Score: 1

    They are both good reasons, t'be sure. Personally, I prefer to cut out the middleman. I just take my bottle of Jameson to work.

  6. Re:Why is that legal? on Wii Update 4.2 Tries (and Fails) To Block Homebrew · · Score: 1

    Kicked in the arse with a boot2, specifically.

  7. Re:If it ran Windows... on Net Radio Exec Says "Don't Mention Linux" · · Score: 1

    You're right. I hang my head in shame over that one. I really should've mentioned iPhone/Android instead. But I still believe this guy would proudly say it's good old Microsoft-based if he's afraid. What matters here is that the guy DOESN'T want people saying it runs Linux. Depressing :(

  8. Re:If it ran Windows... on Net Radio Exec Says "Don't Mention Linux" · · Score: 1

    New Dell laptop! Comes with Windows 7 and Office 2007!

  9. Walking paraplegic rats!? on Paraplegic Rats Enabled To "Walk" Again · · Score: 1

    I smell a rat.

  10. Re:Buy a Pre on iPhone 3.1 Update Disables Tethering · · Score: 3, Funny

    (insensitive clod)

  11. Re:Another scam on Hackers (Or Pen-Testers) Hit Credit Unions With Malware On CD · · Score: 1

    For a moment there I thought you were going to say that the "updates" went ahead and installed WGA...

  12. Isn't this against the constitution? on RIAA Awarded $675,000 In Tenenbaum Trial · · Score: 1

    I am not American, but isn't there something called "Cruel and unusual punishment"?

  13. Re:debate rules on Open Source Languages Rumble At OSCON · · Score: 2, Funny

    The acid is likely what causes you to see the trolls in the first place...

  14. Re:Recycling skins and textures from other games? on Bethesda Speaks On Gamebryo Engine, Final Fallout 3 DLC · · Score: 1

    Weren't they just renamed Wanamingos?

  15. Re:why doing this? on iPhone 3GS Finally Hacked · · Score: 1

    That is the problem. We spend all this time cracking and writing software to work with these proprietary technologies, thus reinforcing their usage. Unfortunately, I don't think Apple will ever learn, especially not when accommodating for their flaws (defective by design).

  16. Re:Polarity switch on Ocean Currents Proposed As Cause of Magnetic Field · · Score: 2, Funny

    What we need to do is reverse the polarity of the neutron flow.

  17. Re:bounce house on Inflatable Tower Could Climb To the Edge of Space · · Score: 3, Funny

    That's one jumping castle I wouldn't want to fall off.

  18. Re:OOo on Office 2010 Technical Preview Leaked · · Score: 1

    Maybe when people start wanting it. I know plenty of folk who prefer to use OOo over the new MS Office because it's more familiar. You mustn't forget that most people are scared of change.

  19. My top 10 disappointing lists on Top 10 Disappointing Technologies · · Score: 1

    This one is going in it. Well done, guise!

  20. Re:how is it cannibalism? on Were Neanderthals Devoured By Humans? · · Score: 1

    I see shaved pigs wearing suits all the time in parliament. I don't think "lunch" but I hope the dogs do.

  21. Slow adoption rate designates failure? on Top 10 Disappointing Technologies · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Based on what appears to be their idea of how long widespread adoption of new technology should take before it is considered a failure, I'm surprised they haven't mentioned ripped on IPv6.

  22. Re:I stopped reading... on Top 10 Disappointing Technologies · · Score: 1

    I'm not offended. More than anything, I'm disappointed in their misinformation.
