  1. So Sycraft-fu on FBI Alleged To Have Backdoored OpenBSD's IPSEC Stack · · Score: 5, Funny

    Are you ready to buy into the government conspiracy theories now?

  2. Really? on Aussie Government Gives PDF the Thumbs Down · · Score: 0

    As there are a bunch of tools that can convert a PDF to an audio file, I find it hard to believe that there are no screen readers that can handle a PDF file.

    That's people's answer to everything these days.

    Me: "I'm constantly tired and irritable. What should I do to help?"

    Society: "Get more exercise, eat plenty of fruits and vegetables, and sleep eight hours a night."

    Me: "I constantly have the urge to stab my girlfriend in the face, and I see clowns in the toilet whenever I pee. What should I do?"

    Society: "Get more exercise, eat plenty of fruits and vegetables, and sleep eight hours a night." /me solves all problems evar

    Meant to mark Insightful. Accidentally marked troll.

    That's an odd mistake to make. You sure you're getting enough sleep?

  5. Help! on Journalist Tricked Captors Into Twitter Access · · Score: 1

    I'm being held in the castle Aaaaarrrrrrggghhh!

  6. Asimov will be pleased on Synthetic Genome Drives Bacterial Cell · · Score: 1

    This will really help when we finally get around to terraforming the galaxy. Instead of sending off a huge Noah's Ark to each one, we'll just ship whatever raw materials can't be found on the new planet and build the lifeforms onsite.

  7. Re:Just checking... on Exploit Released for Unpatched Windows Flaw · · Score: -1, Troll
    There are thousands of unpatched flaws in every OS on the market, they just haven't been found yet. So yes, if 100 security flaws exist but are never found, it does make the OS tight.

    Spoken like a true American!

  8. Re:Just checking... on Exploit Released for Unpatched Windows Flaw · · Score: 2, Insightful

    If a 100 security flaws exist but are never found, does this still make the OS tight?

    If even only one unpatched security flaw exists, an OS should never be called "pretty tight". This flaw has always been there, even if it has only been exploited just now...

  9. Of course it's a Dutch Company on The Return of the Commodore? · · Score: 1

    The revival of the Commodore name could only happen in a country where marijuana is freely available...

    But if you spend your working career taking at least 20% of your $83,000 and investing it wisely, you can retire and live like a king in India. The Indian workers won't be able to do the same in America.

  11. Re:Hey Ma Look... on Space Tourism? · · Score: 1
    NYC is a very complicated place. But what do most of us want to do in space, besides be weightless and look down on the earth? Nothing else really comes to mind, so as far as I can tell, flying up to the station and just being there for a few days is pretty much the complete "space experience".

    I think I'll wait until moon tourism is commonplace before I ask to be defrosted.

  12. Re:It's a fake on 200gb Hack for iPod Nano · · Score: 1

    Did the "It's Funny, Laugh" classification help to tip you off on this?

    Got a Bluetooth headset hooked up to my iMac running Skype. I can call from anywhere in the world...as long as I'm about 20 feet away from my computer...

  17. To paraphrase Homer Simpson on Pay vs. Happiness · · Score: 1

    If you don't like your work you don't change it, you just in go in everyday and do it really half-assed. That's the American Way!

  22. Well, that's the end of the iPod on Bill Gates: Cellphone will Beat iPod · · Score: 1

    Without Bill's endorsement, the iPod has no future. By the way, I hope you all don't get too attached to this "inter-net" thing, because The Microsoft Network is the way of the future...
