  1. Re:To be more specific on Fear of Porn URL Exposure Discourages Firefox 3 Upgrade · · Score: 1

    Why has nobody thought of this before?

    Personally, I think that some combination of the two would be best. Using child protection filters on your bookmarks and history, along with private mode to train your browser as to what sort of thing you think is private. Even better would be to include a little icon in the address bar to show you whether the browser considers the website you're on to be private or not.

  2. GLaDOS? on Team Aims To Create Pure Evil AI · · Score: 1

    I kinda expected GLaDOS to be hotter than that. And less... male.

  3. Seems perfectly reasonable... on College Credits For Trolling the Web? · · Score: 1

    I mean, the Bible says very clearly that the world was created in seven days. The Bible is the word of God, and thus cannot be be wrong. So, Intelligent Design is clearly the way forward.

    I can has credit nao pliz? Kthx.

  4. Hydrogen != Petrol on Sahimo Hydrogen Vehicle Gets Over 1,300 mpg · · Score: 0, Redundant

    One problem I see with that number is that, yes 1300 mpg is impressive, but it's 1300 mpg of hydrogen fuel. The only useful comparison that can be made to current cars is that it'll be ages between each fill-up.

    Without doing any research, I have no idea whether 1300 mpg is impressive for hydrogen fuel or not.

    and still remain accurate.

  6. Re:iPhone. on Good PDF Reader Device With Internet Browsing? · · Score: 1

    I was going to say the exact same thing. I hardly ever use my iPod Touch to listen to music, but I use it all the time for Internet, IM and PDF reading. I use air sharing for my PDF reading. It's quite good.

  7. I did have a really funny comment on here... on Lenovo Tinkers With Larger Delete and Escape Keys · · Score: 1

    ...but after years, I finally noticed a really small Delete key hidden on this keyboard! I was so overjoyed that I had to test it out.

  8. Re:Screenshot on Clutter Reaches 1.0 Release Candidate Status · · Score: 1

    Perhaps it's 3D in the same way that Firefox could be described as being 3D? i.e. 2D pages + 1D line of tabs = 3D? If you have several Firefox windows open, does that make it 4D? What if you have several of these on each workspace? 5D?

  9. My scenario on Solution For College's Bad Network Policy? · · Score: 1

    You're going some place weird, my friend. The limit of my Uni's Acceptable Use Policy is that your computer have anti-virus software installed. They don't come round checking though. The only other limitations they have are "no peer-to-peer file sharing", legal or illegal, and no connecting more than one device to a network port because most people can't set that up properly and it annoys them.
    I of course regularly wirelessly share my wired internet connection, but it's set up properly. They may be able to detect that I'm doing it, but to be honest, IT Services use the "secret" DC++ file sharing we have going on campus as much as anyone else, so they're not going to care about a little secured ad-hoc wireless network.

  10. Can we not just call it... on Let's Rename Swine Flu As "Colbert Flu" · · Score: 1

    Porcine influenza? "Porcine" is such a cool word that people should use more often, and "flu" makes it seem less serious that it would appear to be (or at least, it makes regular flu seem more deadly than it actually is).

  11. My mood is a result of where I live on Is Your Mood a Result of Where You Live? · · Score: 1

    For example, currently I'm in a building with low Room, and obviously my mood is going into the red. Strangely, my Bladder is going up quickly in here too.

    At home, I have high Room, and my mood is usually quite green.

  12. Re:posting in the(?) april fools story on Warner Bros. Acquires The Pirate Bay · · Score: 1

    So where do I get this 1-digit UID?

    I believe they sell them on eBay every now and then

  13. Re:posting in the(?) april fools story on Warner Bros. Acquires The Pirate Bay · · Score: 1

    Huzzah for achievement whoring!

  14. It's pronounced... on Conficker Worm Strike Reports Start Rolling In · · Score: 1

    Nyuu-cyuu-lar

  15. Bad timing on Hints of a Link Between Autism and Vinyl Flooring · · Score: 1

    See, this one seems too serious to be an AF, but at the same time it's kinda plausable. Of course, I haven't really read the article any more than a brief glance to see whether it was obviously an AF.

    So the moral of the story is... don't announce anything serious today! Especially if it sounds kinda weird.

  16. Re:gravity boot. on Reflected Gravitational Waves · · Score: 1

    The problem with a gravity gun is that it requires a completely new form of ammo, made from one of Earth's most precious natural resources: gravity itself.

    So we have to use gravity guns sparingly, else we'll end up floating off into space! Space I tell you! That's where all the Space Sharks live!

    Do you want to be eaten by a Space Shark? Didn't think so.
    Kids: Say no to gravity guns.

  17. Re:gravity boot. on Reflected Gravitational Waves · · Score: 1

    Screw the boot, I want a gun!

  18. Re:So... on Reflected Gravitational Waves · · Score: 5, Informative

  19. Interesting on Advance In Making Stem Cells From Skin · · Score: 1

    Still, this is just a minor advance. We're still a long way off from doing anything truly interesting yet.

    Wake me up when we can make gametes from these stem cells.

  20. Re:A DRM ban clause should be added as a constitut on Draconian DRM Revealed In Windows 7 · · Score: 1

    Congress shall pass no law limiting the rights of Jack T. Ripper to use his knife as he sees fit. Wait, what?

    Great idea in theory, just need to work on the wording.

  21. Just over 2? on Average User Only Runs 2 Apps, So Microsoft Will Charge For More · · Score: 1

    Not counting Firefox, I'm currently running 6 applications. And I'm not even doing anything!
    I can't even imagine how many I have running when I'm actually doing something.

    This just seems like a way of ensuring that nobody will buy the version of Seven that already nobody was going to buy.

  22. And they succeeded on Scientists Reconstruct Millennium's Coldest Winter · · Score: 1

    Judging by recent weather conditions, that is.

  23. Re:Frist psot? on Teachers Need an Open Source Education · · Score: 1

    Not first, so ignore the title.

    Secondly, the ICT Teachers at the school I used to tech for (Midlands, UK) would insist on calling the entire case of the PC the "hard disk" even in class. I felt so sorry for those kids, but I couldn't say anything about it. It's what the spec said.

    So did mine at one point. But then, this was the same guy who said that an equilateral triangle had a right angle...
    He used to be an English teacher, but the school hired him to teach maths and IT for some reason.

  24. Re:So the fact that there's no published figure on Miscalculation Invalidates LHC Safety Assurances · · Score: 1

    What we need now is a nice hot cup of tea. That should go well with the chocolate pudding.

  25. What does it look like? on The Presidential Portrait Goes Digital · · Score: 1

    I had a look at the article to see what the portrait looked like. And then I realised that it'd probably look like Obama.
