  1. Re:Burying Bodies on Badgers Digging Up Ancient Human Remains · · Score: 1

    Are you saying that we should bury our dead in Africa? Have the Africans been consulted on this?

  2. Re:I read the TFA on US Reigns As Most Bot-Infected Country · · Score: 1

    Yeah but bonus points for using a car analogy.

  3. Re:Phone Theft. on Facebook Introduces One-Time Passwords · · Score: 3, Insightful

    And facebook gets your cellphone number. Good thing that fb is a reputable company ran by people of high integrity who would never abuse that information.

  4. Re:This is not piracy on Pirate Electrician Supplied Power To 1,500 Homes · · Score: 1, Funny

    He was merely following Joule's first law. It can't be illegal to follow the law.

  5. Re:Power should be free anyway on Pirate Electrician Supplied Power To 1,500 Homes · · Score: 1

    Either that or their class wasn't taught by a rabid Randroid.

  6. Re:Buttle, anyone? on Pirate Electrician Supplied Power To 1,500 Homes · · Score: 1

    Michael Palin was in that one as well.

  7. Re:That's good news for deaf cats on Research Shows How Deaf Cats' Brains Re-Purpose Auditory Centers · · Score: 1

    Ants wear their bones on the outside. Exoskeleton 4 lyfe fool!

  8. Re:The next step. on Why You See 'Free Public WiFi' In So Many Places · · Score: 2, Funny

    Yup. It's tortles all the way down.

  9. Re:Huh, wut? WTF it's raining anyway.... on Alaska To Export Billions of Gallons of Water · · Score: 1

    Fresh water floats in sea water, so you fill a big rubber bag with the stuff and tow that to the other end of the planet if that's what floats your boat so to speak.

    Now why you'd want to do that is an entirely different matter.

  10. The essence of hipsterism: on Word Processors — One Writer's Further Retreat · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Use the most backward impractical tool available and declare it superior.

    cf. fixie bikes and Holga cameras.

  11. Re:Surveillance = False accusation on New CCTV Site In UK Pays People To Watch · · Score: 1

    If someone does pull shit, that camera isn't going to stop them, and there is no police around to do so, because the cameras proved to be much cheaper than having actual people walking around interacting with the citizens.

  12. Re:Helium on At Commonwealth Games, the World's Largest Aerostat · · Score: 1

    Going to waste.

  13. Re:No, not Really? on GoogleSharing, Now With No Trust Required · · Score: 1

    Flowers would be nice...

  14. Re:hmm... on Analyzing CAPTCHAs · · Score: 1

    I have come to the conclusion that I am a bot. Half the time I can't read those captcha thingies.

  15. Re:Non-cycle? on Japan Begins Recycling Rare Earth Metals From Electronics · · Score: 1

    Coincidentally, much of it ends up in China, poisoning the local population.

    Similar dumps can be found all over Africa and Asia.

  16. Re:Can we stake our own assumptions? on TheSpaceGame — Design Your Route To Jupiter · · Score: 1

    Precisely. The trick is to cross your fingers and imagine that you're already there, then by the power of New Age BS everything will magically fall into place.

  17. Re:Accelerometers in phones? on Could Anti-Texting Laws Make Roads More Dangerous? · · Score: 1

    "It would also mean that you couldn't use your phone when on the bus or train"

    You say that like it's a bad thing. I'm liking this idea more and more. Can we make it so it shuts down in the cinema as well?

  18. Re:Typical on WikiLeaks Insiders Resign · · Score: 1

    So you're saying that their little rock band has had their first number one, and the lead singer and the bassist struggle with artistic differences? Sounds plausible to me. Besides, Julian gets all the groupies.

  19. Re:Daniel's Wife is Microsoft Govt Liason in Germa on WikiLeaks Insiders Resign · · Score: 1

    She's a witch! Burn her! Burn her!

    Or perhaps people aren't always blind slaves to the corporations they or their family members work for and personal motivation can be both varied and complex.

  20. Re:Two Wrongs. . . on UK Pursues Tax Evaders Using Stolen Bank Details · · Score: 1

    Righties waffling about socialism are as tedious and wrong as lefties calling everybody a fascist.

  21. Re:Remember kids, UK stole nothing on UK Pursues Tax Evaders Using Stolen Bank Details · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Yes it does. But to carry the analogy further, information is our servant and not our master. There is no need to honour the wish of a personified concept.

  22. Re:Slow news day on Today's Children Are Officially Potty Mouths · · Score: 1

    Sure it was written by Plato, but he was quoting his teacher Socrates. (Who was in turn sentenced to death for corrupting the morals of the young -- go figure!)

  23. Re:At a certain point it's commonplace enough on Today's Children Are Officially Potty Mouths · · Score: 1

    Well roger me with a wire brush and call me Brenda!

  24. Re:Oh thank god on The Surprising Statistics Behind Flash and Apple · · Score: 1

    Dedicated hardware? For graphics? That's like having a dedicated multicore processor in your PC just to draw some 3D polygons on a 2D screen. Madness!

  25. Re:It's made of magic on Terry Pratchett's Self-Made Meteorite Sword · · Score: 5, Funny

    Is "I'm looking for the man who killed my father" a valid reason in Spain?
