  1. I predict... on 'Reading Level' Filter Added To Google Search · · Score: 1

    a coming of hipsters who flaunt around their consistent use of the "advanced reading level only" setting when they search things.

  2. Eh... on Amazon Taking Down Erotica, Removing From Kindles · · Score: 1

    It's just another set of books that'll be sold during Banned Books Week. Then re-released on the kindle for maximum viewing pleasure (intended).

  3. I received an email notifying... on The Top 50 Gawker Media Passwords · · Score: 1

    I got an email from Gawker saying that my password was compromised and that I should change it. I don't even remember signing up for that website... Either I forgot... or my main email account has been compromised?

  4. Shiver me timbers! on NASA Solar Sail Lost In Space · · Score: 1

    I've lost me satellite!

  5. Re:And nothing of value was lost on China's Influence Widens Nobel Peace Prize Boycott · · Score: 1

    When I think of countries contributing to global peace, Iran, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Egypt, etc. don't come to mind in the first place.

    To say that nothing of value was lost is a bit exaggerated, and maybe even a little pretentious. There are plenty of peaceful people in any of these countries. I consider it disrespectful and shortsighted to put an entire country in that category, even if the government of that country doesn't have a successful track record with human rights.

    In fact, I think having all countries (even the "lacking" ones) attend the ceremony would be very valuable to the ultimate purpose of the Nobel Peace Prize.

  6. AT&T might suck? on Consumer Reports Gives AT&T Lowest US Carrier Rank · · Score: 1

    I don't need 58,000 consumer report subscribers to tell you that.

  7. Discourse... on Chinese DNS Tampering a Real Threat To Outsiders · · Score: 1

    Hmmm...

    The general public:

    "What's net neutrality? Meh, I don't care... WAIT, The Communist Party can censor and limit the information I receive?? BLASPHEMY. MAKE THE INTERNET FREE AND UNTAINTED BY CENSORSHIP!! RALLY RALLY RALLY!"

    Ha. Slashdot: 1, Stupids: 0. ;)

  8. In other news... on Apple Bans Android Magazine App From App Store · · Score: 1

    Land owner kicks homeless drug dealer off his property.

  9. Cycle of methane levels? on Methane Survey Reveals Mars Is Far From 'Dead' · · Score: 1

    I have those, too. Mine are especially high after dinner.

  10. Another recycled story? on Self-Assembling Photovoltaic Cells · · Score: 4, Funny

    Ok, it's our job to recycle the conversation. I'll start with the first comment from the last article (but recycled into a new comment): Call me when I can pick it up at Lowe's.

  11. Err... on Yale Researchers Prove That ACID Is Scalable · · Score: 1

    Acid is definitely scalable if you use blotter paper.

  12. Re:Lies. on StarCraft II Cost $100 Million To Develop · · Score: 1

    I also call bullshit on the $100m figure. I bet there is a lot of 'Hollywood Accounting' going on there. I also wonder how much it would be without all the cut-scene filler they seem to enjoy spending a fortune on these days.

    Marketing can also cost a lot. If I recall correctly, there was an ad during the NBA finals for Starcraft 2 (as "debut" ad), and they've played many since.

  13. Re:Apple on Consumer Reports Can't Recommend iPhone 4 · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Oh if only they were here too. The amount of stupidity by Apple users (and their fellow applefags moderating them up) is outstanding.

    Yeah! Seriously!

    *looks down at macbook pro*

    *looks over at the itouch and ihome on dresser*

    *looks at the apple sticker on the bulletin*

    Aw... awww shit.

  14. Why shouldn't Blizzard... ? on Blizzard Backs Down On Real Names For Forums · · Score: 1

    Why shouldn't Blizzard just use a moderation system similar to our very own? It seems that this kind of system would be a lot more effective in reducing the amount of trolling and general stupidity. Is the population on the forums just too big?

  15. The Critique... on The Truth About the Polygraph, According To the NSA · · Score: 1

    I'm all for not believing in polygraphs, but I'm not gonna lie, that critique was pretty awful.

  16. You guys love google now... on Google Offers Encrypted Web Search Option · · Score: 1

    and you'll probably still love them when the overthrow the US government. :)

  17. This isn't news... on Your Computer Or iPad Could Be Disrupting Sleep · · Score: 1

    I tried using my laptop as a pillow, it just doesn't work. Why do they even post this crap?

  18. Re:Three Points on Stanford Robot Car Capable of Slide Parking · · Score: 1

    Because slide parking has serious moral implications... as far as the "ability" of the stanford programmers/engineers go, I'd be willing to bet that the car they designed can pull off quite a few more successful maneuvers than any of those guys could.

  19. Re:Three Points on Stanford Robot Car Capable of Slide Parking · · Score: 1

    1. The proper reference is the Blues Brothers movie, not James Bond. 2. Parking like this is stupid and wears down the tires unevenly and too fast. 3. Uneven pavement, potholes, wet pavement, oil puddle: pick your disaster.

    1. They reference it in the article-- if you even read it.

    2. Once again, if you read the article,

    The real story here is Junior’s ability to cleanly switch between various methods of driving.

    3. That would be a disaster for pretty much any human attempting that sort of maneuver. I'd probably still put my faith in robots.

  20. HEY ASSHOLES on Jupiter Is Missing a Belt · · Score: 1

    Ever stop to think that Jupiter is pretty without makeup? Ever think of that? Yeah, I bet not. What's next? Is someone going to call Jupiter fat? She already had to hide behind the biggest object she could find to get her fucking makeup off! I, for one, am worried about her mental health; we all know what happened with those comets a while back.

  21. This gives us a hint at the new iPhone tech on Apple Loses Another 4th-Gen iPhone · · Score: 1

    It's clear that apple has harnessed the power of ballpoint pen technology. The alarming amount of phone losses is directly related to the normally high amount of ballpoint pen losses. It is expected that this will double the amount of phones sold, as, like ballpoints, iPhones will often be misplaced and permanently lost.

  22. Ohhh! on Call of Duty: Black Ops Announced · · Score: 2, Funny

    I wonder if I get to kill terrorists instead of join them this time! ... who am I kidding, I liked gunning down civilians.

  23. Warning... on New Speed Cameras Catch You From Space · · Score: 1

  24. Re:Personally... on MIT Researchers Harness Viruses To Split Water · · Score: 1

    Or... at least... the ones that aren't should be.

  25. Re:Personally... on MIT Researchers Harness Viruses To Split Water · · Score: 1

    Please STFU. You paranoia is sourced in horror movies and cheap sci-fi novellas. Go read about real microbiology. Thanks.

    There's a reason that they're modded up as "funny". :)
