  1. A crowd of Borg-goggled pantless customers . . . ? on McDonald's Denies Prof's Claim Staff Attacked Him For Wearing Digital Glasses · · Score: 1

    So what will they do if a massive crowd of Borg-goggled pant-less customers show up? And mumble, "We have come for your pants!" And then quickly disappear, before the cops show up? A few "plants" among the customers might even surrender their pants to the Borgy folks.

    Witness descriptions would be useless: "Well, ma'am, can you describe the, um, Borg man?" "Yes, he was wearing Jar-Jar undies."

    Geek catalogs are full of hidden pen-cams, sunglasses-cams, dorky-hat-cams, etc. Expect to see some videos of wacky things happening in McDonald's. The good 'ole Mentos in your soda, a jumping frog burger or feathered fried chicken parts . . . with beaks.

  2. Pundits will ask how the "John" vote will swing on Washington State To Allow Voter Registration Over Facebook · · Score: 2

  3. Geeks don't throw away junk ... they hoard it. on Why Junk Electronics Should Be Big Business · · Score: 5, Funny

    C'mon, y'all 'fess up! Your e-waste never becomes e-waste, because it is stuffed into drawers, closets, basements, or the rusty Chevy up on cinder blocks on the front lawn, like me. It could be a magnetic storage disk with the diameter of a Flying Saucer, and I still won't throw it away. That 'ole PCMCIA IBM Token Ring card? I'll be glad someday that I have that bastard!

    Hans Reiser proved his own guilt when he claimed that he threw away his car seat.

    Geeks don't toss out nuthin'!

  4. The Hans Reiser Effect . . . on Modest Proposal For Stopping Hackers: Get Them Girlfriends · · Score: 1

  5. Re:Digital Spies on 'Madi' Cyber Espionage Malware Hits Middle East Targets · · Score: 1

    Actually, you are not far off, being that it spreads via social engineering. That is the oldest spy tool in the book.

    . . . and look how James Bond used it very successfully with, . . . um . . ., "Pussy Galore" . . .

  6. When a man bites a dog . . . that's news! on Man Physically Assaulted At McDonald's For Wearing Digital Eye Glasses · · Score: 3, Funny

    assaulted by 3 employees of McDonalds

    This story would be definitely more interesting if the man assaulted 3 McDonald's employees with his Digital Eye Glasses.

  7. Re:Not likely given the Third World focus. on MeeGo Startup Jolla Signs Phone Deal · · Score: 1

    I dunno. It seems that First World countries are hell-bent on becoming Third World countries, as fast as they can. All the stuff sold in First World countries is made in Third World countries anyway. All the crappy stuff made in Third World countries gets sold in Walmarts. Companies sell the same quality stuff in both First World and Third World countries . . . but they charge a lot more for it in First World countries, because the consumers there have more money and are willing to pay the higher price.

    hardware will be cut down to appease the Third World market

    I guess I'll just have to wait, and see what they actually come up with. But as an N9 owner, I'll be very interested and willing to wait.

  8. ... hang out, get in fights, organize gangs ... on Even Silicon Valley's Prison Inmates Have Their Own Startup Incubator · · Score: 3, Funny

    That pretty much describes behavior on the Internet to me.

    Those folks should have no problems on the outside.

  11. Re: worth! on What Is an Astronaut's Life Worth? · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Say what you want about the Queen but watching this year's State Opening of Parliment, you've really got to give her some credit. I mean, how many heads of state could sit on a gold-plated throne, in a €1m hat and give a speech about austerity whilst keeping a straight face?

  12. Sounds like an Ocean's 19 Olympics heist trial run on O2's UK Network Crash Hits Offender Monitoring System · · Score: 3, Funny

    Convicted Criminals on Boris Bikes . . . unable to be tracked!

    We'll see their true intent during the Olympics, when the Crown Jewels or something like that are five-fingered.

  13. "Free" ? Who pays for them? on UK Government To Offer Free TV Filters For 4G Interference · · Score: 1

    If the government gives them out "free", it means that the taxpayers pay for them.

    Why not force the 4G providers, who are causing the interference, to foot the bill . . . ?

  14. Nuclear waste will be the crude oil of the future! on A Million-Year Hard Disk · · Score: 5, Funny

    In a few years, we'll be drilling for nuclear waste to power our flying cars! Just like how the cave men buried dinosaur waste, which we now pump out as petroleum to power our driving cars.

    Future folks will be overjoyed to find an old nuclear waste dump buried on their property, because they will get rich by fracking it! Sapphire disks will be like old, dusty grizzled-prospectors' maps, and be highly valued.

    Whats left for 300 million people to do?

    Deliver packages, for Amazon. Sell delivery trucks, to Amazon. Perform maintenance on trucks, for Amazon. Build warehouses, for Amazon. Design and build better delivery systems, for Amazon . . .

    Hey, if they are growing, and investing a lot of money . . . they must be spending it somewhere. Think of ways you can help them, and ride their success.

    Ask not what Amazon can do to you, ask what you can do for Amazon . . . ?

    A lot of folks I've met can't or don't want to do the latter . . . especially politicians and managers . . .

  17. This is the top 5% the Occupy folks protest about! on San Francisco To Stop Buying Apple Computers · · Score: 5, Funny

    The federal government, for example, requires 95% of its laptops and desktops be EPEAT-certified.

    So, only the top 5% elite of government folks get Apples, and the other 95% normal folks just get inferior, non-cool and non-chic EPEAT made of unreliable biodegradable materials that dissolve in the rain! This just isn't fair! Why should only the top 5% get Apples!

    Occupy the federal government!

  18. I know where the assets are hidden! on Hans Reiser Sued By Own Kids For $15 Million · · Score: 3, Funny

    It's stuffed in the back seat of his car!

    If Hans offers to drive his children to where the money is hidden, I hope they will have the sense to take a cab instead.

  21. Re:So cats contract it by eating rodents... on Cat Parasite May Increase Risk of Suicide In Humans · · Score: 5, Funny

    ...but it's still okay to eat cats, right?

    The article is about human infections, so you might want to avoid eating humans. If you get infected, it will lower the dopamine level in your brain, and then you will get hungry for . . . another human brain . . .

    "but what if a guy wants to marry his Great Dane?"

    He'd have to train the Great Dane to say "I do" first.

    If you can manage that feat, then it would ok.

  25. Darwin's comment on "Intelligent Design" . . . on South Korea Will Revisit Plan To Nix Evolution References in Textbooks · · Score: 1

    In his autobiography, Charles Darwin reported that he was almost denied the chance to make his historic voyage on the Beagle on account of his looks, in particular, because of his nose, which was large and somewhat bulbous. Darwin himself later used his nose, facetiously, as an argument against intelligent design, writing, "Will you honestly tell me . . . whether you believe the shape of my nose was ordained and 'guided by an intelligent cause'?"
