  1. Re:Are you insane? on Ham Hears Mars Orbiter 45 Million Miles From Earth · · Score: 3, Funny

    Exactly. If we can communicate with it, we can hack it. I wonder if it's interested in some v1agra...

  2. Just put a big Starbuck's sticker on them. on Budget Issues Force Spy Satellites Into The Open · · Score: 1

    People won't give them a second glance. Until they can't get their coffee...

  3. Crap, my Asteroid destroying ship is only 1/3 done on Asteroid Flies Under the Radar, Literally · · Score: 1

    ^ ;)

  4. I wonder if it can tell the time... on Man Builds 7-foot Grandfather Clock from Lego · · Score: 1

    ...it takes for a server to get slashdotted...

  5. Excellent review... on Detailed Empire Strikes Back DVD Change List · · Score: 4, Funny

    But the clod cars weren't insensitive enough...

  6. That's nothing... on Distress Signal Emitted By Flat-Screen TV · · Score: 1

    ...my toaster cracks SETI blocks... ;)

  7. Re:Drain GOP coffers--order free propaganda DVD! on Hackers Take Aim at Republicans · · Score: 1

    Great! I can stack them next to my AOL CD's and see which pile wins...

  8. What about existing radio sources... on Parents Sue School Over Use of Wi-Fi Network · · Score: 1

    ...like those coming from large, 150,000 (or more) watt commercial FM transmitters? Or from aircraft guidance systems? Or emergency repeaters? I guess they all gotta go too...

  9. How innovative... on Personal File Server For The Masses · · Score: 1

    A company building something that lots of us have been building for years. I guess all the WinSheep will love it though...

  10. Re:Yes except, on Phone or Tracking Device? · · Score: 1

    Well, if there is too much worry about privacy, what's stopping anyone from forwarding the work phone to the personal cell phone? Then nobody will be able to tell that you're at the local LUG meeting or strip joint...

  11. Re:How many people? on Keeper of the Objects · · Score: 1

    I only have one eye you insensitive clod!

    (but I have a really nice disability pension...)

  12. I guess it's time... on French Government Bans Term 'E-Mail' · · Score: 1

    ...we change the term to 'freedom mail'...

    ...that they haven't discovered all the people put on Mars by Alternative 3... ;)

  15. Re:Curious on China Wants To Establish Moon Mining · · Score: 1

    I doubt it would make much difference at all. I mean, look how much mass we've lost, sending crap into space. I think our real concern should be about Klingons blowing up our unmanned probes...

  16. Just do this... on U.S. National Do-Not-Call Registry On the Way? · · Score: 1

    When a telemarketer calls you, tell them the truth. "Yes, I'd love to hear your sales pitch, however my time is rather valuable. I'll listen to your pitch for a fee of $25 for the first minute, and $15 for every minute thereafter. Credit card number please?"
    I've used this on several occassions. It's quite gratifying to hear the telemarketers stammer in confusion for a change...

  17. Re:URL-Addressed Data is Public on The Pentagon Wants Your Secrets · · Score: 1

    True enough. But what if the Pentagon locates some sensitive information on a public server residing in Upper Sobobia? What are they going to do about it? Just walk right in uninvited?

  18. What right... on The Pentagon Wants Your Secrets · · Score: 1

    ...does the Pentagon or the US in general have to read data from other sovereign nations? And if they did find something outside their borders, what are they supposed to do with (or about) it? Invade every suspect country?

  19. Re:Canadian levies on New SecuROM Ties Protection to Physical Structure · · Score: 1

    So, being Canadian, am I to assume that this levy makes my MP3 collection 'legal', since I have paid something (the levy) for my MP3's to an official agency (the government)? If so, levy away!

  20. Re:I have only one thing to say... on Hard Drives Evaluated for Noise, Heat and Performance · · Score: 1

    I said the new hard drives ARE MUCH QUIETER!

  21. I wonder... on Controlling Robots with the Mind · · Score: 1

    If Battlemechs(TM) will be much farther off...

  22. Re:Practicality? on Cloak of Invisibility Coming Soon? · · Score: 1

    And to make it really stealthy, put clear Chrsitmas lights all over it...

  23. Re:I am so glad.. on Franklin's Glass Armonica · · Score: 1

    If I recall correctly, when Marty went back to the 50's, Dr. Brown had quite the spread. Large house, bit of property, etc. In the 'present' (1985) he only had the garage, and there was a Burger King behind it. There was reference in the movie to the doctor's estate burning down. Perhaps he did this for insurance money, and then sold the land to a mega corp for more profit, enabling him to continue his research...

  24. Woohoo! on Noise Control Stealth Tower · · Score: 0

    Now maybe I can sleep at night!

  25. CBDTPA? on More Details on the CBDTPA · · Score: 1

    CBDTPA? Isn't that what came out of Bill the Cat's mouth all the time? Ack!
