  1. Re:The perfect is the enemy of the good. on Why PBS Won't Do Android · · Score: 1

    It doesn't even have to die horribly, you know. Just die already (trying to stay ontopic here).

  2. The thing is, will I get hooked? I can't even commit to a 2 hour movie most times.

    Said the guy in the basement.

  3. Tomorrow is today? on How Did My Stratosphere Ever Get Shipped? · · Score: 1

    Your phone is from the future!

    Well that, or it came from a very strict timezone; you can only live 30 years.

    To find your answer, what brand are the paranoid Chinese using?

    How many times i been telling you man, scour all the tech articles you want, research the hardware, have some nerd open up your case. You just really suck at Quake.

    =)

    That when encountering advanced alien civilization(s), we will be presented with something that can either be shot in a studio (see the hotel room scene in 2001) or on location (faked beach scene in Contact)

  7. Your sig... on Door-To-Door Mail Delivery To End Under New Plan · · Score: 1

    It would seem we have to add 'mail' to your list of boxes, but in acordance with the government way of counting, still keep it at '4', because this is the one we'd have to walk to the curb to get to.

  8. Re:MPIAA on Imitation In Dogs Matches Humans and Apes · · Score: 2

    The only thing my dog copied from me is my smartness.

    Thanks for the link! My 64M ram fails me...

  10. Reminds me of that Outer Limits episode on Disney Algorithm Builds High-Res 3D Models From Ordinary Photos · · Score: 1

    ...where construction crews are responsible for building our universe every second. Somehow our hero accidentally falls into that realm, and sees some whitespace or voids. One of the crewmembers tells him, when nobody goes there, they don't really have to build it. That when one of their crew is negligent, and forgets to put stuff where they're supposed to be; this explains those incidents when you could have sworn you placed that hammer on that table a second ago...

    People saw the ads and thought,' I can't dance that well. Better find some other option...'

  12. From: NSA on Blackberry 10 Sends Full Email Account Credentials To RIM · · Score: 1

    Sir:

    We *had* been wondering why during every unannounced visit to the Blackberry/RIM department in our office, we'd catch them with some with feet up on their desks, lounging around with arms behind their heads, some paper airplanes flying around, or some paper basketball match or dart game going on. They always say some variation of '...working on it" "...I'm on it", or "We managed to produce that list you were asking about". I had always attributed it to their efficiency. Now we know. Appreciate the heads-up, thanks!

    I assure you, it will be the superphone when some tech journalist from Engadget picks it up at a bar...

  16. Re:Math doesn't seem right on Colorado Company Says It Plans To Test Hyperloop Transport System · · Score: 1

    Now if Musk designed a hypersonic TSA agent for most airports, NOW you're talking. Those security lines would dry up real fast!

  17. Re:Why would you build this in an earthquake zone? on Colorado Company Says It Plans To Test Hyperloop Transport System · · Score: 1

    True, it was the astronomical costs that prevent building high speed rail projects on the East Coast, much less a DC-to-NY high speed commuter. Man, if Musk can push a DC-to-NY commuter line, this would make that NY-to-LA dream more attractive.

    And about that earthquake concern, they still built that rail line project in LA anyway, that's been beneficial to residents.

  18. After all the fuss on Lake Vostok Found Teeming With Life · · Score: 5, Funny
