  1. Re:TLDR on Woman Trademarks Name and Threatens Sites Using It · · Score: 1

    Holy crap, I did just read it, and she's nutters.

    Most of the women I know think he's pretty hot. *shrug*

    Monkey's Eyebrow, sorry. Fatfinger today.

  5. Re:Just to get it out of the way... on Microsoft Suspends Gamer For Being From Fort Gay · · Score: 1

    There is in fact a real town named Money's Eyebrow in Kentucky. And we also have a plain old Morehead, which is much better than Moreheadsville. And can't forget Gravel Switch.

    You know, that explanation is honestly EVEN SCARIER than what experience demonstrated before, that evangelicals were just hypocrites. You're a hypocrite and you're proud of it, and think that's what your god wants you to do!

  7. Re:Independent studies warranted on Study Claims Cellphones Implicated In Bee Loss · · Score: 1

    Yes, yes you can blame the parents. It is so stupidly easy to teach your child never to pick up a firearm that there is no excuse for not doing so, and while they're too little to be trusted with one in their own hands you demonstrate nothing but impeccable firearms safety. Children learn by example and repetition. And you start teaching them safe handling as soon as they are strong enough to pick up your smallest gun.

  8. Re:Also... on Young Men Who Smoke Have Lower IQs · · Score: 1

    Can someone mod parent up? I'm out of points and it's informative/useful.

  9. Re:Dwarves dig deep on An Early Look At Civilization V · · Score: 1

    This sounds fascinating. Thanks!

  10. Re:The service manual on Should I Take Toyota's Software Update? · · Score: 1

    I found that out in my Saturn via experimentation.. It also refuses to go above 20mph in reverse, which is more likely in day to day (ok, maybe not day to day, most people don't like reverse as much as I do) situations than hitting 4k.

  11. Re:DO-178B for Cars on Should I Take Toyota's Software Update? · · Score: 1

    The difference is that a broken throttle cable will cause the throttle to snap shut, killing the engine. Also not ideal, but easier for panicky drivers to cope with than uncontrolled acceleration.

    White sapphire. Same looks, more options, better prices. Also available from Canada, as well as Sri Lanka and a few other places.

  13. Re:Major Cash Flow!!! on Larry & Sergey To Cash In $5.5B of Google Chips · · Score: 1

    Hell, just buy it outright via a sovereign wealth fund...

  14. Re:laughable on Eolas Sues World + Dog For AJAX Patent · · Score: 1

    No one who wants public office can be trusted with it; the ancient Athenians had the right idea when they assigned all civic positions by lottery with a term of one year. At least that way we'd trend to mediocrity and no particular clump of cronyism would last more than a year or two.

  15. Re:If you want privacy then don't use on Facebook Masks Worse Privacy With New Interface · · Score: 1

    Horrors! Someone might find out your current city!!!)

    You've never had a stalker, have you?

  16. Re:Why are people getting so worked up on Where the Global Warming Data Is · · Score: 1

    Well, asking someone to demonstrate that they have been ignoring the media for years is a good start. Not owning a TV and not listening to the radio are good starts.

  17. Re:A Step Into the Dark Ages on Landmark Health Insurance Bill Passes House · · Score: 1

    Because condoms never break while you're taking an antibiotic that reduces the effectiveness of your pill. It's always the woman's fault. You ass.

  18. Re:The effect is the opposite of apparent intensio on Explaining Corporate Culture Through "The Office" · · Score: 1

    The workers are too afraid for their jobs to pin up Dilbert. It would be seen as insubordination.

  19. Re:Don't be so damn sensitive on FOSS Sexism Claims Met With Ire and Denial · · Score: 1

    But why should we have to hide?

  20. Re:sexuality and sexual preferences on MIT Project "Gaydar" Shakes Privacy Assumptions · · Score: 1

    A Y-chromosome defines male. The organs the chromosome are supposed to trigger to be made do not.

    And what about androgen-insensitive XY females? They receive no athletic benefit from their excess testosterone because they do not produce receptors for it on any of their cells. It's simply floating about wasting energy in the metabolism process. Why exactly should a physically, mentally, and socially female individual have an athletic career destroyed for the sake of your easy answer?

  21. Re:I think that on iPhone 3.1 Update Disables Tethering · · Score: 1

    Typically this would be written as 'keeping up with the Joneses' which is remarkably awkward looking but does not incorrectly invoke the possessive apostrophe.

  22. Re:What will the control group be? on Want to Eat Chocolate Every Day For a Year? · · Score: 1

    Most studies on cocoa flavanoids have been done using 1 oz pieces of very dark chocolate, which are (relatively) low in calories due to the lack of adulterating sugar and cocoa butter. I assume they will be following a similar protocol to enable easy comparison of the results.

  23. Re:I'm curious and not a Biologist- on DNA Differences Observed Between Blood and Organs · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Typically one would compare DNA collected via the same method as the original specimen- thus if you were testing for DNA in a skin flake, you would get a skin sample, while for semen, you'd get a semen sample, etc. It shouldn't make a difference in a well-run criminal case (and I'm not going to touch whether or not DNA-reliant cases are well run).

  24. Re:They should have found a more appropriate charg on Judge Tentatively Dismisses Case Against Lori Drew · · Score: 1

    Oh, no. She'll never be innocent. She'll be an outcast pariah everywhere she goes, wherever she tries to live, probably even if she goes for radical cosmetic surgery, changes her name, and leaves her family. And that is as it should be.

  25. Re:Go old school on Where Does a Geek Find a Social Life? · · Score: 1

    This is true. There are few things women like better than trying to hook up their friends and offspring.
