  1. Not worth the money... on Toyota Announces the Winglet, Wannabe Segway Killer · · Score: 1

    ...until I can drive this thing on the street. Otherwise, you're just wasting money on an alternative to walking.

  2. The title on House Dems Turn Out the Lights On the GOP · · Score: 2, Informative

    I'm not very fond with the title. This implies that the Democrats just randomly closed shop, while today was actually the first day of the August Recess -- a tradition which has existed for a long time. Apparently, some Republicans decided to stick around in the House.

    There's a difference between a teacher walking out on the student and students staying after school ends.

  3. A language obsessed with newlines on Best and Worst Coding Standards? · · Score: 1

    Let's make a language where you MUST use newlines in every circumstance imaginable, and if the compiler detects a lack of a newline where there ought to be one, a picture of an old lady sticking her tongue out at you appears.

    Like this:
    if
    {
    $message
    ==
    "Enjoy!"
    }
    then
    {
    print:
    "You too!"
    }
    else
    {
    while:
    {
    2
    >
    1
    }
    do:
    {
    print:
    "HEY YOU DIDN'T TELL ME TO ENJOY!"
    }
    }

  4. Re:New Meme on McCain Campaign Uses Spider/Diff Against Obama · · Score: 1

    Who cares? This is an excuse to talk about AMERICAN PARTY POLITICS!

  5. Re:New Meme on McCain Campaign Uses Spider/Diff Against Obama · · Score: 1

    Quantum physics and statistics are EVIL! Time is CUBIC, you EDUCATED STUPID!

  6. Re:Oblig. Futurama Ref. on McCain Campaign Uses Spider/Diff Against Obama · · Score: 1

    Your comment goes very well with your sig, because per the laws of Russian Reversal, the original sig statement must have been "In Capitalist America, the commerce controls the government!"

  7. Is this automated? on Wikipedia To Host Human Gene Repository · · Score: 1

    If these articles are being automatically posted, they may run in contravention with bot editing rules; see "Wikipedia:Bots".

  8. Welcome to the Internet on MySpace's Melting Makes Murdoch Mad · · Score: 1

    Where tomorrow's fad is already old. Which makes it very imprudent to pay a nine-digit sum of money for it.

  9. Re:It's like divorce on $50 to Get XP On a New Dell · · Score: 1

    MS business model 1. Write software that works 90% of the time and crashes randomly 10% of the time (who cares the 10% is during critical computing) 2. Wait, release patches. 3. Release new version of OS so crappy the public will be happy to use the 90% ware and pay to downgrade 4. Profit This is actually very well planned-out, since it is missing the ubiquitous "???".
  10. Re:Too little too late... on 35 Articles of Impeachment Introduced Against Bush · · Score: 1

    However, what would happen if the plan for impeachment backfired on them? Hellooooo McCain victory.

  11. Re:Their claims are bullshit! on Inside the RIAA and MediaSentry · · Score: 1

    It didn't take bribes. It took old-man judges who don't understand technology.

  12. Re:Hasn't he... on Jack Thompson Walks Out On Hearing · · Score: 1

    I'm not shocked. If you look at it, it's FLORIDA. (Enough said?)

  13. Re:Good ridance on Jack Thompson Walks Out On Hearing · · Score: 1

    In the end, restricting artistic expression because you don't like its message is akin to treating the symptoms of a disease rather than the cause. Which, scarily enough, is actually what doctors do.
  14. Re:Good ridance on Jack Thompson Walks Out On Hearing · · Score: 1

    You've banned the ability to keep up with friends but not the ability to engage in virtual violence? Interesting.

  15. Really old on Six Degrees of Wikipedia · · Score: 1

    Like, Six Degrees of Wikipedia is years old.

  16. Incidentally... on Wikimedia Censors Wikinews · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Wikinews used to have its own embargo on reporting about Wikipedia, because they were giving disproportionate weight to Wikipedia in the news. In fact, it even led to -- I think it was the Washington Post -- referring to Wikinews as "the news website about Wikipedia". We Wikinewsies collectively ground our teeth when we heard the fruit of our labors described like that.

  17. Re:It seems to me... on Massive Increase in RIAA Copyright Notices · · Score: 1

    The RIAA isn't in the movie business. That's the MPAA, but they're both part of the MAFIAA complex.

  18. 1 atom x 10 atoms? on UK Scientists Make Transistor One Atom Long, 10 Atoms Wide · · Score: 1

    That's the PICO scale! Looks like nanotechnology has some competition

  19. The courts couldn't stop them... on FBI Lied To Support Need For PATRIOT Act Expansion · · Score: 1

    ...yet the Freedom of Information Act could. Interesting how a law passed by Congress a while ago has more power than the courts.

  20. Re:"includes a retail copy of Leopard..." on Psystar Offers $399 "OpenMac" Computer · · Score: 1

    Blasphemy! I love how I had to pay for an iCalendar! It's not like I had a calendar already!

  21. Re:I trust the masses over the corporations and go on Wikipedia Breeds Unwitting Trust (Says IT Professor) · · Score: 1

    Only Wikipedia would have a gigantic article on how it was subject to academic fraud.
