  1. Surface of Mars on U.S. House Wants 'Sustained Human Presence On the Moon and the Surface of Mars' · · Score: 2

    I find it odd the legislation would specify the "surface of Mars"... I guess they want to keep us away from that alien reactor.

  2. Wait for it... on Iron In Egyptian Relics Came From Space · · Score: 3, Funny

    "Next on Ancient Aliens..." in 3... 2... 1...

  3. Re:CPU=Critical Patch Update on To Avoid Confusion: Oracle's Confusing New Java Numbering Scheme · · Score: 1

    Lighten up, Francis.

  4. Re:CPU=Critical Patch Update on To Avoid Confusion: Oracle's Confusing New Java Numbering Scheme · · Score: 3, Funny

    That's like overriding toString() to format your hard-drive.

  5. When asked for comment... on USAF Strips 17 Officers of Nuclear Launch Authority · · Score: 1

    Joshua replied "Would you like to play a game?".

  6. Re: Let me be the first to say... on Sleep Deprivation Lowers School Achievement In Children · · Score: -1

    Judgmental? How? If you have something to do at a fixed time in the morning (ie work or school), go to sleep early enough the night before. That's the exact advise I give to my kids. How long do you think you could hold a job where you were under performing and your only excuse was "Sorry boss, I like to stay up late"?

  7. Re:Let me be the first to say... on Sleep Deprivation Lowers School Achievement In Children · · Score: 2, Funny

    Apparently my son has a /. account and just modded me 'Troll'.

  8. Re:Let me be the first to say... on Sleep Deprivation Lowers School Achievement In Children · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Then go to sleep earlier...

  9. Let me be the first to say... on Sleep Deprivation Lowers School Achievement In Children · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Duh!

  10. If they don't comply... on BitTorrent Bundle Puts a Music Store Inside Torrents · · Score: 1

    They look for the bootlegged torrent.

  11. Worm Tracks on Weird Geological Features Spied On Mars · · Score: 2

    Zoom in more at the end of the trail and you'll see remains of a thumper.

  12. Ob Solo Quote on Disney Announces "One Star Wars Movie Per Year" Plan · · Score: 1

    "I've got a bad feeling about this."

  13. Follow-on products on Mobile App Screens Calls With Brain Waves · · Score: 1

    Just wait for the follow-on products... "Want to know what the person you are calling really thinks of you? Buy this app!"

  14. Pyroclastic Flow > Bio-luminescence on Volcano May Have Killed Off New Bioluminescent Cockroach · · Score: 3

    Perhaps they should have evolved some sort of force field instead.

  15. Its Bell and Watson all over again... on RIM Offering Free Voice Calling In Attempt to Remain Competitive · · Score: 1

    Now the two remaining Blackberry customers can talk to each other for free...

  16. Re:Fair enough I suppose on UW Imposes 20-Tweet Limit On Live Events · · Score: 1

    Yes... A sampling of 4 news stories about the game in question came out to between 4000 and 5000 characters...

  17. Good riddance on Secession Petitions Flood White House Website · · Score: 1

    I have the same response to the successionists that I did for the people threatening to move to Canada or Europe when President Bush was (re)elected. Good riddance and don't come back.

  18. Re:one word on Samsung Hits Apple With 20% Price Increase · · Score: 2

    Apple probably has quite a few patents for overcharging for products, too...

  19. WA - Not allowed to push buttons. on U.S. Election Day In Progress: What's Been Your Experience? · · Score: 1

    I had to color in lines, stuff my ballot into multiple envelops, then drive it to a ballot drop box. Thanks, WA, that is much better than walking to the polling place that used to be a block away.

  20. Improvement over the Nexus 6 on Google Wades Further Into Hardware With "Nexus Call Center" · · Score: 2

    Its got more memory than the Nexus 6... But whose memory does it have?

    Do Androids Compute on Electric Tablets?

  22. Good for something... on Apple Maps Accidentally Reveals Secret Military Base In Taiwan · · Score: 5, Funny

    At least Apple Maps revealed something that was actually there.

  23. Wait, what? on A Day in Your Life, Fifteen Years From Now · · Score: 1

    You mean in 15 years I still won't have my flying car?

  24. Re:Enough with the over-broad claims guys on Boeing Proposes Using Gas Clouds To Bring Down Orbital Debris · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Of course he's ignoring segments of the claims... You can't produce breathless hyperbole if you include all the facts.

  25. Re:Hybrid only? on Toyota Unveils Helpful Human Support Robot · · Score: 1

    Lighten up, Francis.
