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

    Is this an all-electric robot, or have they abandoned those, too, in favor of hybrids?

  2. Re:Tablets in education on School Regrets Swapping Laptops For iPads · · Score: 1

    I used tablets in education every year when I was in school. The only time I had trouble editing was when the lead on my stylus broke.

  3. Police are also investigating on Police Probing Theft of Millions of Pounds of Maple Syrup From Strategic Reserve · · Score: 1

    Several metric tons of waffles are missing from the Belgium National Waffle Stockpile. No word if the two incidents are related.

    And I thought a nose ring sounded painful... Yikes.

    I thought the first rule would have been "if you don't want to pay for something it doesn't give you the right to take it".

    I've got a hack for getting free jewelry. It involves a crowbar and the brittleness of the glass they use to make those display cases.

  8. I, for one, am excited... on Interviews: Ask Physicist Giovanni Organtini About the Possible Higgs Boson Disc · · Score: 1

    About the possibility for a Higgs Disc. Imagine, a frisbee that can fly not because of aerodynamics, but because it can manipulate its own mass!

  9. Re:And then what happened? on Live Pictures From Inside Your Stomach · · Score: 1

    See the exciting conclusion at ratemypoo.eu. Perhaps Dupple is the infamous tubgirl....

  10. Data Breaches on FTC Files Complaint Against Wyndham For Hotel Data Breaches · · Score: 1

    Sounds like a pair of pants with a USB cable.

  11. Re:D? on A New C Standard Is On the Way · · Score: 2

    No, it's finally P.

  12. Shredded documents on A Faster Jigsaw Solving Algorithm · · Score: 1

    That is an easy problem to solve if you don't care which side of the document you recover.

  13. Re:Spice on Coffee Consumption Strongly Linked To Preventing Alzheimer's · · Score: 2

    This (para)phrase is the best thing to come from Lynch's Dune.

  14. Overheard during a tour... on Kodak Basement Lab Housed Small Nuclear Reactor · · Score: 1

    Tour Guide: And here we have the Neutron Flux Multiplier...

    Kid in vest: Uh, does it run, like, on regular unleaded gasoline?

    Tour Guide: Unfortunately, no. It requires something with a little more kick. Californium.

    Kid in vest: Are you telling me that this sucker is nuclear?

    Tour Guide: No, this sucker's electrical, but we need a nuclear reaction to generate the 1.21 gigawatts of electricity we need to make those Instamatics.

  15. BlackBerry 10 on BlackBerry 10 Unveiled · · Score: 3

    Is that the nickname for their user base?

    So, 1 Instagram == 800 AOL Patents?

  17. Re:Lost on When Social Media Meets TV, Are the Results Worth Watching? · · Score: 2

    When Lost was about to end, the various forums were abuzz with lots of ending ideas that were about a hundred times worse than the actual ending. Kinda glad they didn't listen to fans in that case.

  18. Enterprise apps? on Microsoft Demos Metro UI For Enterprise Apps · · Score: 1

    You mean like LCARS?

  19. Let me guess... on Michael Bay To Remake TMNT As Aliens · · Score: 2

    They're from the planet Zeist.

  20. Re:This contradicts with what my pastor says. on Watch How the Moon Was Formed · · Score: 1

    Sorry, Jim. Your pastor is an idiot. Not even the Vatican believes in the 6000-year-old universe.

  21. Roger Ebert on Jawless Creature Had the World's Sharpest Teeth · · Score: 1

    Is jawless and has pretty sharp (figurative) teeth.

    You had me up until "Lucas pioneered this". The LP->8-track->cassette train had just about the time Lucas came along.

  23. Re:It says... on Researchers Seek Help In Solving DuQu Mystery Language · · Score: 2

    No, it says "Seatec Astronomy".

  24. Re:Blocked PlayBooks? on Amazon Blocks Video Streaming On BlackBerry Tablet, Blames Apple · · Score: 1

    Nope, nary an apple product in my house -- the only one being my son's iPod (which was a gift from his grandma).

  25. Blocked PlayBooks? on Amazon Blocks Video Streaming On BlackBerry Tablet, Blames Apple · · Score: 0

    I'll bet all 5 Playbook owners are pissed.
