  1. Heh on The Dirtiest Jobs in IT · · Score: 1

    This reminds me of the worlds unluckiest computer shop on http://stimie.net/

  2. This always happens. on How the PC Is Making Consoles Look Out of Date · · Score: 1

    PC development goes up, console development goes down. Console development goes up, PC development goes down.

  3. I can see how this will work out. on Tiny Transistors Could Be Used To Track Cash · · Score: 1

    You're going to see a lot of conspiracy theory nut jobs microwaving their money.

  4. Dishwasher on 10th Birthday of ASIMO · · Score: 2, Funny

    They need to hurry up and get this thing washing the dishes.

  5. Time to get more than one computer. on Bicycle Thief Barred From Using Encryption · · Score: 1

    I'd use one for whatever I wanted and let them check other other one.

  6. Nothing is selling right now. on Huge Shocker — 3D TVs Not Selling · · Score: 1

    Nothing!

  7. I can see that. on Study Finds Most Would Become Supervillians If Given Powers · · Score: 1

    Think about it, Batman has more than one foe he fights against. So does Superman, Spiderman, Wonder Woman and so on. It's nice to know that in real live the ratio of good to bad would be around the same. That insures a great story.

  8. This is crazy talk! on Flat Pay Prompts 1 In 3 In IT To Consider Jump · · Score: 5, Funny

    According to my girlfriend's students they are all going to grow up to be big rich software engineers. They will all run their own companies and have no one to answer to. It's just the old neck beards that worry about the economy.

  9. Re:20 Light Years Away on Can We Travel To That Exciting New Exoplanet? · · Score: 1

    Well technically it would take longer than that since the movie didn't broadcast until after it was released in 1990. But going by the assumption that Hollywood is magical and movies release everywhere within weeks of the premier, then yes we could see this happen just like I stated.

  10. 20 Light Years Away on Can We Travel To That Exciting New Exoplanet? · · Score: 1

    If we had a telescope large enough you'd see people there standing in lines to see Total Recall right now.

  11. No Problem on PayPal Withholding Indie Game Dev's €600,000 Account · · Score: 1

    As long as PayPal pays interest it shouldn't be a problem.

  12. I hope it doesn't hit the Earth. on 1-in-1,000 Chance of Asteroid Impact In ... 2182? · · Score: 1

    I'd love to make it to my 202nd birthday.

  13. I thought they outsourced that job. on Apple Hires Antenna Engineers. Really. · · Score: 1
  14. This could be said for all computer makers. on Dell Selling Faulty PCs · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I remember a certain model of HP laptop from a few years back that had a bad overheating problem. It was due to a defect in the design of the product. HP did nothing to fix it. This isn't the only problem Dell has had either, they had a BTX style desktop that would lose it's ability to see the USB keyboard and mouse. All it would do is say it couldn't see the mouse or keyboard and to please press F1. Call Dell and they would cancel your warranty and basically tell you to go stuff it. Acer had an entire line of laptops that would stop turning on after about a year of use. I have a stack of them in the corner. The list goes on and on.

  15. Fulltime Job on Pakistan To Scour Google, Yahoo For Blasphemy · · Score: 5, Insightful

    The department that will handle that will one day become larger than the IRS.

  16. LoL on Pakistani Lawyer Wants Mark Zuckerberg Executed · · Score: 1

    This is why we mock them.

  17. Re:OMG on Sleeping iPhones Send Phantom Data · · Score: 1

    Dream all it wants as long as there are no nocturnal emissions to clean up in the morning.

  18. Hyphens on Falsehoods Programmers Believe About Names · · Score: 1

    I hate it when some websites I sign up for can't handle a hyphen in my last name. Then you try a space which some of them seem to be ok with but others don't like. This isn't that big of a deal for most websites but when you are trying to do something important like order something and your name on your debit card doesn't match what they will allow you to type it. Then it gets annoying.

  19. TV on the road. on DTV Transition - One Year Later · · Score: 1

    I miss being able to use a portable TV while you are on the move. New portable TVs that can receive the digital signal seem to work well standing still but if you pick it up or move it just a hair the picture goes all haywire.

  20. Barnes and Nobel on Finland To Legalize Use of Unsecured Wi-Fi · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Just do what Barnes and Nobel does. If you try to connect to their system it will want to text you a temporary access code.

  21. Training?????? on Time To Dump XP? · · Score: 1

    Train for what? Can people not just figure out where they moved the buttons you click on to?

  22. Remotely execute deez nuts. on Microsoft Warns of Windows 7 Graphics Flaw · · Score: 1

    Almost every flaw with anything in Windows could allow a hacker to execute code remotely. What's the deal with that?

  23. I was just talking about this. on Recession Cuts Operation That Uses Hair To Clean Up Oil · · Score: 1

    I saw this on the news 20 years ago when I was a kid. It's amazing how well it works.

  24. Laugh out Loud on Microsoft Promises To Fully Support OOXML ... Later · · Score: 1

    I was scrolling down and at first thought it said "Microsoft Promises To Fully Support 'OO-Mox'".

  25. Re:The real question on Son Sues Mother Over Facebook Posts · · Score: 1

    That's not nice...
