  1. Magic Underwear on Virus-Detecting "Lab On a Chip" Developed At BYU · · Score: 1, Funny

    Does this come with a free set of the magic underwear, or does that have to be bought separately?

  2. So what on Silicon Valley VCs and the Gender Gap · · Score: 1

    How is this important? Go make me a sandwich.

  3. Silverlight installs it all for you I guess on Oh, What a Lovely Standards War · · Score: 0

    So you install Microsoft's Trojan^WSilverlight into Internet explorer, and you assume that you don't install anything more? Buddy, you're going to be running more software than you can imagine, all installed FOR you by friendly Internet people !

  4. Stupid, go hide in the woods on Stay Off the Grid, Win $10,000 · · Score: 1

    This is trivial to anyone who doesn't live in a city. There's an entire country out there to hide in. Pack some food, and hide in the badlands of ND.

  5. MIT = written for retards? on Giving CubeSats Electric Propulsion · · Score: 1

    I stopped reading after the 3rd or 4th time they explained what something as simple as an ion was. Hello MIT, you guys are eggheads, not the Discovery Channel.

  6. sure, its the victim's fault on Studies Reveal Why Kids Get Bullied and Rejected · · Score: 1

    Look kid, you're different. Want to make friends, and by that I mean save your ass getting kicked? Easy - suck up to, and agree with what at least 51% of the rest of the class does.

  7. "fails" on US Missile Defense Test Fails · · Score: 3, Insightful

    "Now Commander, that torpedo did NOT self-destruct. You heard it hit the hull, and I was never here."

    Sure it failed.

  8. easy w/o worker safety and eco-legislation on China Is Winning Global Race To Make Clean Energy · · Score: 5, Insightful

    If you can dump the effluent from your factories into the rivers and if you don't need to give you workers protective gear, its amazing how financially compelling your argument to build in China becomes. Obviously China will outstrip the workers paradises in Europe, and nobody, least of all the Europeans, are going to complain about polluted rivers and skies in China.

  9. VW did this for years on Toyota Pedal Issue Highlights Move To Electronics · · Score: 1

    My 02 VW is drive by wire, and has never killed me. How can Toyota of all companies, flub this so badly?

  10. I prefer the dead-tree version on Has Apple Created the Perfect Board Game Platform? · · Score: 1

    If you scratch the top of your scrabble board, you are not out $500.

  11. Re:Geeks miss the point again. on MSI Will Launch iPad Alternative · · Score: 1

    It sounds like your wife is too fucking stupid to use a computer.

  12. Status quo for us, Win for FCC on FCC's Net Neutrality Plan Blocks BitTorrent · · Score: 1

    So nothing has changed, but the reach of the FCC grows.

    Sounds like a perfect win for them.

  13. More pervasive than just news on Does Personalized News Lead To Ignorance? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    In the US at least, knowing a lot about ANYTHING makes you a nerd, a social outcast, the non-cool guy. Ask a coworker how their boiler works, or how to change their oil. Ask them how to chainsaw a tree. Ask them how to wire a switch, or pull a shot of espresso. Most will look at you like you showed them dirty pictures - "What? Me? Do actual labor?" Combine this with the steady erosion of the effects of causality (helicopter parents, welfare system), combined with the death of Civics as a school subject, and you have population of effete, spoiled sheep, ready to accept whatever shackles are imposed, in order that they be safe and comfortable.

  14. All bow before Taco on Tracking Browsers Without Cookies Or IP Addresses? · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    The mighty webmeister, who invented looking at web server logs. Navel-gaze much?

  15. Beehives and ant colonies are efficient too on China Will Lead World Scientific Research By 2020 · · Score: 5, Insightful

    But I wouldn't want to live in either.

  16. Utopia Project on Uranus and Neptune May Have "Oceans of Diamonds" · · Score: 2, Funny

    It's the SKIES that are made of diamonds.

  17. How much do you pay the techs? on Radiation Therapy Mistakes Cost Lives · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    So you take a wave motion gun, and give it to some techs who make $15 an hour, and are union, and you expect them to care where it's pointing?

  18. Because they don't have to on Why the IRS Should Automatically Fill In Returns With What It Knows · · Score: 1

    It's Schernau's Razor - "if you do the work, then I don't have to". The IRS is in BUSINESS to collect, process, and audit (the incorrect) returns. They are not required to show any efficiencies, why would they? Every little Napoleon in the org chart beefs up his staff as much as he can.

  19. ANY tech can be used to facilitate a police state on Surveillance Backdoor Enabled Chinese Gmail Attack? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    As long as you do not place restrictions on your executive branch, anything can be used to facilitate a police state. If a cop has unrestricted rights to search you, your days of privacy are over.

  20. TCP/IP for Dummies? on Crazy Firewall Log Activity — What Does It Mean? · · Score: 1

    It means that some IP spaces are used more heavily, and that if you don't care about getting a response (hello, UDP) then you can make your traffic come from anywhere.

    The real question is - if you don't know what this means, why in gods name did the US Gov hand over the logs to you??

  21. try it on my '81 diesel VW on Electromagnetic Pulse Gun To Help In Police Chases · · Score: 1

    Since I have a car w/o any electronics, I'm fine. Not that a diesel Rabbit is really going to outrun a cop car anyway.

  22. Re:Stupid Units on IBM Sets Areal Density Record for Magnetic Tape · · Score: 1

    Ironic, that the mashed trees you so easily dismiss will actually outlast your fancy-schmancy tapes.

  23. XWindows on Benchmarks of Debian GNU/kFreeBSD vs. GNU/Linux · · Score: 1

    Does FreeBSD boot you into X by default yet? I installed the latest and told it "everything" and booted to a command shell. 'startx' returned an error. What gives?

  24. Re:Who was driving? on A Hyper-Velocity Impact In the Asteroid Belt? · · Score: 1

    They pegged you?

  25. Re:Never Fear!!!! on US Blocking Costa Rican Sugar Trade To Force IP Laws · · Score: 0, Troll

    You're not a troll, you're a douche.
