  1. new and improved ways to tweet your life on Cell Phones That Learn the Sounds of Your Life · · Score: 5, Funny

    so in other words this will effectively let me tweet when i'm pooping without having to type it up on my phone. it may also be handy finding out if people have washed their hands after such an event ;)

    how true how true.

  3. the reason on One-Tweet Wonders · · Score: 5, Interesting

    the reason these people sign up in the first place is to follow tweets of others. be it someone famous and worthless like ashton kutcher, or to follow news tweets like cnn.com regardless, you can't subscribe to someone's tweet stream unless you have signed up. people probably sign up for that reason, post once just because they feel that urge to push the shiny red button. then they just dip back into the shadows to lurk and watch other people's lives unfold.

  4. ya know what i'm talk aboot eh? on Canadian Regulator Says No To New Internet Regs · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    why bother regulating them? all Canadians use the internet for is to search for hockey scores, maple syrup, beavers, learning how to become a mountie, and learning how to best serve as America's hat.

  5. tweeting this on Time On Social Networks Almost Doubles In a Year · · Score: 1

    hold on, i think i'm going to have to tweet this fun little nugget of statistical data :)

    yes, i think the law should apply to everyone.

    i think they need to do it literally. if selling national secrets is treason punishable by death, leaking them should also be.

    how in the hell have there been so many serious leaks like this recently? why is no one being held accountable?

  9. pshhh! on The Myth of the Mathematics Gender Gap · · Score: 0

    if women were able to grasp basic mathematical skills my wife would know how to balance a freaking checkbook and understand why she can't buy a 300 dollar pair of shoes.

    zing!!!!

  11. cool? on Wikipedia Launches a New Mobile Interface, Seeks Help · · Score: 0

    i never really had a problem with it on my iphone before but i suppose its always nice to have sites optimized for mobile use (like youporn did hehe)

  12. how much $? on Netbook-Run Dice Robot Can Rack Up 1.3 Million Rolls a Day · · Score: 0

    its nice and all to know that it can roll 1.3 million rolls a day, but how is it useful? is it actually being put to use by any gambling sites? if not, why not? if so i think a more interesting stat is how much money does this little machine rake in each day?

    not to be a conspiracy nut or anything but i completely agree with you.

  14. are you kidding me? on Sedate Your Kids While They Play · · Score: 3, Insightful

    what the hell ever happened to smacking your kid upside his head and making him behave? ughhhh i'm really feeling my age when i can now say things like "in my day we didn't have video game sedation helmets...."

  15. Re:not sure... on Space Station Crew Drinks Recycled Urine · · Score: 1

    it is true not all recycled water plants are created equal, and some areas do post signs like the ones you speak of. it really just boils down to how much water is available in your area, and how much money is in that city's budget as to whether or not they will recycle the water as a nonpotable or a safe to drink resource. As you'll find in other posts around here, there are several well known places that drink recycled water such as Singapore and orange county CA. :)

  16. Re:Why Axis of Evil? on Voyager Clue Points To Origin of the Axis of Evil · · Score: 1

    i used to work in the newspaper industry. You'd see this kind of crap all the time. i doubt its really a dig at anyone or political party. its just that people have gotten a hold of a buzz word or phrase that they know will make headlines so they run with it no matter if it makes sense or not.

  17. Re:no way on Apple Tablet Rumors Again (Still?) · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    lol I'm sorry, I wasn't aware that the mac mini was a notebook that didn't require you to purchase other peripherals to actually use it (read: monitor). While you are at it why don't you bring up the fact that apple also sells the ipod shuffle for 50 dollars? Its equally as useful as a notebook as a mac mini is, but hey back the truck up, at least its under 700 dollars! ;)

  18. Re:way on Apple Tablet Rumors Again (Still?) · · Score: 1

    exactly, not a true tablet pc (at least how the world views them today) just a next gen iphone/touch

  19. Re:no way on Apple Tablet Rumors Again (Still?) · · Score: 1

    why should this upset you? the only reason i can think of would be that you wanted to be the first post or something. either way lets keep it on topic

  20. Re:way on Apple Tablet Rumors Again (Still?) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    come now troll, you are aware that their cheapest notebook is 1k right? and you are aware that tablets are typically MORE expensive than a comparable notebook that doesn't have tablet functionality right?

  21. no way on Apple Tablet Rumors Again (Still?) · · Score: 1, Insightful

    no way in hell they will ever sell something that cheap. i predict the next iphone will cost something in that range. then again... maybe the next iphone will be their idea of a "tablet pc"

  22. not sure... on Space Station Crew Drinks Recycled Urine · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I'm really not sure why this is news worthy. Recycled water has been around forever. When I was a little kid I was first introduced to recycled water when my city decided to start a reclaimed water system to be used or lawn irrigation. This was to help stop our aquifer from being depleted so quickly for frivolous stuff like watering the grass. When they proposed this new system one of the water treatment people drank a glass of recycled water to prove to everyone that it was completely safe and would not pose any heath risks to kids playing in sprinklers or drinking from a hose. I'd also like to ask, how do people think submarines stay down for so long without coming back up for 10,000 new bottles of Evian bottled water every few days? (yes we have distilling plants on board most ships to convert salt water to fresh but many also have water treatment/recycling plants as well)
