  1. Re:PC? on Spiderman's Politically Correct Replacement · · Score: 2

    Arthropodperson?

  2. Re:I'll use it the same way I use other social sit on Google+ Growing As a Social Backbone · · Score: 1

    I sure hope you posted your MySpace message using sparkly bubble text.

  3. Re:But... on GE To Sample 500GB DVD-Size Discs Soon · · Score: 1

    Libraries of Congress, please. 500GB is roughly 1/40th of a LoC.

  4. Re:This must be full of bad porn on Dumpster Drive: File-Sharing For Your Digital Trash · · Score: 3, Funny

    ...or bad documents and sensitive pr0n.

  5. Poor astronomers, poorer dogs on The Dangers Of Amateur Astronomy In Afghanistan · · Score: 1
    FTA:

    But their adventures weren’t over for the night. Next, a pack of dogs approached and began barking loudly. Aghaei said they dispersed the dogs by inventing a new application for green laser pointers.

    Bothersome dogs? Nothing a little permanent eye damage can't remedy.

  6. BSOD on Bill Gates Looks to Reinvent the Toilet · · Score: 0

    Bad Scent Of Dung.

  7. Re:The lack of developer APIs is a good thing on Google+: Tools, Names, and Facebook · · Score: 1

    If you want to publish from an Android app, command line, et al, you need that API. What we are looking for is some documentation Twitter has about their credentials, so we can start horsing around.

  8. Re:Sure, send me an invite! on Google+ Already At 10 Million Users · · Score: 1

    Same here. Late and pathetic... lasverduras[at]gmail if anyone has an invite left. Thanks ahead of time...

  9. Re:What about antarctica... on Snow Falls On the Most Arid Desert On Earth · · Score: 1

    Even the driest of the dry spots in Antarctica average a few inches of precipitation yearly. Not sure about the percipitation, however...you might be correct on that one.

  10. Re:Save important pet lives...? on San Francisco Considers Ban On All Pet Sales · · Score: 0

    Biology would beg to differ.

  11. Re:Nope on Are Fake Geeks Dooming Real Ones? · · Score: 1

    Well, them, and carnival sideshow patrons.

  12. Re:How about... on Learning Programming In a Post-BASIC World · · Score: 1

    Imagine the looks of wonderment on the faces of the students, upon learning how to pass options into the ls command.

  13. Re:Free windows ..... on Decoding the Inscrutable Logos On Your Electronics · · Score: 1

    Actually, /. is an reasonably safe place to let Windows 7 codes fly.

  14. This is worse on Weird Al Says "Twitter Saved My Album" · · Score: 0

    This is worse

  15. Re:Obstruction? on Man Updates His Facebook Status During Hostage Stand-Off · · Score: 3

    Easily pick off a SWAT cop? Body armor, assault rifles, and shotguns may beg to differ.

  16. Re:good luck with that... on Tracking Bracelets for Autistic Kids and Senior Citizens · · Score: 1

    Your claim would hold up if you replaced "confused older people" with "children." Those bracelets wouldn't last an afternoon. I can imagine that autistic kids would be less likely to ignore a piece of hardware strapped to them.

    Poorly planned in general. Might work if they passed these out with heavy, heavy sedatives.

  17. Re:Anecdotal evidence on More Users Are Shunning Facebook · · Score: 1

    It's an internet system, I know this!

  18. Re:Sad, but I can see doing it too on Man Robs Bank of $1 To Get Health Care In Jail · · Score: 2

    I suspect you have yet to make a substantial claim. Protip: Don't count on that max out-of-pocket being the end of the story.

  19. Re:irony on The Iceman's Last Meal · · Score: 0

    Nope...still coincidence. Keep trying.

  20. Re:Oblig. Fun Theory on Are 'Nudging Technologies' Ethical? · · Score: 2

    Not sure about the long haul, but I would assume that stair usage and hangover severity would be inversely proportional to one another.

  21. Re:People don't know their device plays movies any on Wii U Faster Than 360 Or PS3, No Blu-ray Or DVD Support · · Score: 1

    Fast forward to 2011, where most PS3 owners use their machines exclusively as media centers.

  22. Re:This kind of thing could kill facebook... on FTC Okays Social Media Background Check Company · · Score: 1

    @anonymouscoward twitter doesn't work that way #whatisaweenier #yourdoingitwrong

  23. Re:Seriously, what the fuck! on How Citigroup Hackers Easily Gained Access · · Score: 4, Funny

    I can make the same argument for my luggage.

  24. Re:Dumb phone on Unlocked iPhones in US For $649 · · Score: 1

    Expand your horizons...they are extremely useful tools. Useful too are HTML links...eliminate that pesky cut/paste of URLs for page navigation.

  25. Re:I see a theoretical grey market here on Studying the Impact of Lost Shipping Containers · · Score: 1

    Also, any competition here would make this business unfeasible and possibly very bloody.

    Shedding blood for a trove of sweatpants does not a good pirate make.
