  1. Ask Ballmer . . . on Fastest-Ever Windows HPC Cluster · · Score: 2, Funny

    How does a Windows HPC cluster present itself? Do you submit batch jobs from a GUI?

    . . . maybe with a tossed chair . . . ?

  2. It's worse than that . . . on Geohashing Meets an Angry Rancher With Firearms · · Score: 1

    . . . the Ranchers have now been exposed to, and contaminated by, Geohashing culture . . . although they are primitive civilization, they will quickly learn to emulate the Geohashing behaviour . . . so don't be surprised if an onery horde of heavily shotgun-and-GPS-armed Ranchers pop up in YOUR backyard in pickups, real soon . . .

  3. Re:Good luck with that on MPAA Wants To Prevent Recording Movies On DVRs · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Frankly the DVR Firmware is in Control and can be placed in control at the option of the cable provider , it can do anything they want ! . . . so does this "Provider" also pick out which programs you watch? Sounds like great service to me! No more arguing with my girlfriend over what to watch; our "Provider" knows what is best for us . . .

    . . . um, does your "Provider" address you as "Thrall", and does He seem to have a gambling problem with "Quatloos"? . . . I have a sneaky suspicion . . .

  6. 'tase 'em, dude! on Pentagon Wants Kill Switch For Planes · · Score: 1

    They want a "nonlethal" weapon to use against aircraft. . . . so we just build this giant Taser . . . or, how about a giant magnet that is powerful enough to pull the plane off course . . . this technology was used in the 60's on "The Man From U.N.C.L.E." or "Get Smart!" . . . we could use the magnets from the Large Hadron Collider when CERN is finished playing with it . . .
  7. Red Cross licensing to Target on Johnson & Johnson Loses Major Trademark Lawsuit · · Score: 1

    ... it seems that J&J was miffed that the Red Cross was licensing the logo to other commercial partners, "such as Target" ... http://blogs.wsj.com/law/2008/05/16/american-red-cross-defeats-johnson-johnson-in-trademark-spat/?mod=WSJBlog

  11. Artificial Coral Reef on What To Do With Old Laptops? · · Score: 1

    ... well, geez ... this should be obvious: http://www.dnr.sc.gov/marine/pub/seascience/artreef.html 1) Chuck 'em in the sea 2) Grow reef 3) Tourists 4) PROFIT! In case you don't live near an ocean, follow the Internet IP's model: label them with "Chuck me into the sea!", and then throw them in the general direction of the ocean . . . like, in you next door neighbor's backyard . . .
