  1. Re:How much liver do we need to make a difference? on Miniature Human Livers Grown In Lab · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Breathing room may work for lungs. Livers need living room.

  2. Re:No longer relevant on Times Paywall In Questionable 'Success' · · Score: 2, Funny

    If they are up to 52, it must be a winning formula.

  3. Re:goes against basic ad psychology on Fighting Ad Blockers With Captcha Ads · · Score: 1

    Now I feel dirty.

  4. Re:goes against basic ad psychology on Fighting Ad Blockers With Captcha Ads · · Score: 4, Insightful

    So you're saying that this is more like rape than like seduction?

  5. Re:The thing with ASCII on Mr. Pike, Tear Down This ASCII Wall! · · Score: 1

    But apart from the alphabet, what have the Romans ever done for us?

  6. Math you say? on How Much Math Do We Really Need? · · Score: 1

    Let's cover the basics first please.

    These days simple addition and subtraction seems to pose an intractable problem for the majority of people.

  7. Re:Get rid of the artifact? on US Objects To the Kilogram · · Score: 1

    There is no such thing as an incompressible fluid in nature. It's one of those abstractions that make calculations easier. At the precision required for this work the compression of water could be a factor. Besides working with a liquid is a PITA compared to working with a solid. (evaporation, need of a vessel etc. etc. )

  8. Re:Reasoning Re:Nonissue on Facebook Adds Friend Stalker Tool · · Score: 1

    I disagree. You should still have done it, just get over your shame. Hatera are jealous because they never get invited to orgies involving transvestite strippers and rottweilers.

  9. Re:Good on The Hobbit To Be Filmed In New Zealand After All · · Score: 2, Funny

    Not enough rocks.

  10. Re:Easy fix... on Looks Like the End of the Line For LimeWire · · Score: 2, Funny

    Yeah keep the Gnutella network running!
    It diverts attention away from the kademlia network.

  11. Re:well that just takes the on US Presidential Nuclear Codes 'Lost For Months' · · Score: 1

    Is there such a thing as the IgNobel peace prize? I'm pretty sure that preventing total nuclear annihilation by incompetence would qualify.

  12. Re:Wow on WikiLeaks Releases Cache of 400,000 Iraq War Documents · · Score: 1

    I wonder how long they'll keep that respect when all they seem to be doing is bashing the competition with the obsessiveness of a 9/11 thruther.

  13. Re:Seriously on Jeep Wrangler Call of Duty Black Ops Edition · · Score: 1

    Actually it says "mall ninja".

  14. Yawn. on Programmable Magnets · · Score: 4, Funny

    Wake me up when they invent magnets with east and west poles.

  15. Re:Going postal? on Google Is Going Postal In Sweden · · Score: 1

    After watching Visiting Uwe - the Uwe Boll homestory I completely reassessed my opinions of Herr Boll.

  16. Re:Well, that sure will change the song on NASA Strikes Gold and Water On the Moon · · Score: 1

    Actually it's mine. Now get your filthy mitts off of my space rock.

  17. Re:Reality of data gathered on Earth on Fermilab To Test Holographic Universe Theory · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The best part of experiment are the unexpected results. Look at what happened when Michelson and Morley tried to measure the Earth's speed relative to the aether.

  18. Re:FINALLY i get to make a MACROSS reference! on Japan's Latest Rockstar Is a 3D Hologram · · Score: 1

    *cough* Pinoccio *cough*

  19. Re:Go and download it on Universal Sends DMCA Takedown On 1980 Report · · Score: 1

    I think GP was talking about that music streaming service that isn't available in most of Europe.

  20. Re:The more things change... on Universal Sends DMCA Takedown On 1980 Report · · Score: 1

    So that's why they reflect light in rainbow colours. Fabulous!

  21. Re:Turbines are fuel guzzlers on The Rise and Fall of America's Jet-Powered Car · · Score: 1

    So even if you razed the entire US and turned it into a giant soybean field you would not be able to manufacture enough oil.

    On the plus side, there would be no place left for cars, so total fuel consumption would go down. You'd only need enough to power the combine harvesters.

  22. Re:the best. on Bjarne Stroustrup Reflects On 25 Years of C++ · · Score: 1

    Not just you personally. It's a pathological though very common case where quicksort like algorithms perform poorly, and about the only case where bubble sort performs really well. Or so it says in this book I once read (I think it was numerical recipes in Fortran)

  23. Re:Perspective on CERN LHC Reaches Its Goals For 2010 · · Score: 1

    Or one Domino's pizza.

  24. Re:Is this awful? on Google Maps Adds Drone Imagery · · Score: 1

    I thought it said "Texas Ornithoimagery Program" and was wondering if they were using bird mounted cams.

  25. Re:You don't know if the new images are from drone on Google Maps Adds Drone Imagery · · Score: 1

    I've got a Nikon camera,
    Want to strap it to a bird,
    So mama don't take my Kodachrome away.
