  1. Re:Already Been Done on The Science of Lightsabers · · Score: 2

    If said guy used the extend-able metal tube to drink his own urine, chances are good it was Bear Grylls.

  2. Re:Old news, Same response on Have We Reached Maximum Sustainable Population Size? · · Score: 1

    I would say the not-becoming-extinct option would be quite significant.

  3. Re:Well on Checkpoint of the Future Coming Soon To Airports · · Score: 2

    A twenty foot scanner is about ten times longer than the current scanner...I would say that the cancer risk is ten times higher, we will absorb ten times more radiation, and will be able to fly one tenth as often. The terrorists have just won by another order of magnitude.

  4. Re:Aw jeeze on Patented Gestures Detailed · · Score: 2

    Like, perhaps, eyes?

  5. Cupcakes? on MI6 Swaps Bomb Making Info With Cupcake Recipe On al-Qaeda Website · · Score: 0

    I would have gone for a bacon-wrapped pork tenderloin recipe. Sort of a kick in the nuts within a kick in the nuts.

    Now get off our lawn.

  7. Re:You could always make them 1/10 shorter or prod on Lack of Technology Puts Star Wars Series On Hold · · Score: 2

    10/10 - 1/10 = 9/10.

  8. Re:There remains questions... on How Companies Are Using Data From Foursquare · · Score: 1

    Cross reference Facebook

    People running to the store late night to pick up toilet paper are unlikely to check in, especially on a weekday.

    That is exactly the inane garbage that people seem to post ad nauseum. Problem solved

  9. Re:*Facepalm* on New Laser Data Transfer Rate Record Set At 26 Tbps · · Score: 3, Funny

    I'm not certain...British humor is puzzling.

  11. Re:I hope this passes on US Congress Tries To Cut Body Scanner Funding · · Score: 4, Funny

    The fact that they won't let us bring a 4 oz. or 6oz. yogurt, or a bottle of pure water, or a tube of what is obviously toothpaste, does not make us safer. It inconveniences us. I love yogurt and it's ridiculous that it can't be carried through security. Go ahead, open it, sniff it. It's milk, not nitroglycerine, or a binary explosive.

    I can't help but make a connection between this odd rant and your username.

  17. Re:What will commercial space companies do? on How Far and Fast Can the Commercial Space World Grow? · · Score: 1

    I think navigation and weather satellites are paying the rent as well. Your argument is still very valid with those included, however.

    sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager

    Go nuts.

  19. Re:Cool! We've never had a chiropractic troll befo on Yes, an Armadillo Can Give You Leprosy · · Score: 1
    His best yet was:

    Chiropractic adjustments for newborn babies is barbarous! Most of my fellow Chiros will refuse to see children under 3, by the time the spine has had time to set.

    ^ that is pure gold

  20. 10,000 on New Heat Pump Will Last 10,000 Years · · Score: 4, Informative
    The 10,000 number was pulled out of the air for emphasis. From a meatier source

    The miniature pumps will just continue to pump. We stick fans on them, and they must be replaced, but the heat pump itself will stay and be equally effective after 10 000 years," Bording continues.

    Misleading headline, both on this blog post and on the blog post that this blog post cites.

    +1 introspective

  22. Re:Space Race v2.0 on China Plans Space Station By 2020 · · Score: 1

    Communication, navigation, and weather satellites are all commercially viable (and pretty killer.) Space exploration is another pursuit entirely...doing something 'because it is there' to that magnitude is very killer.

  23. more clicks does not mean better article on Fewer Hacked Records Does Not Mean Better Security · · Score: 2

    I'll stick with the garage / blog approach. I don't want to watch you drink Mountain Dew; you don't want to hear my constant stream of F-bombs.

    Thank you for that insightful post. Feel free to rant about other technologies that make you nervous.
