  1. Re:Since when? on Google Introduces Gmail Paper · · Score: 2, Informative

    They've got that covered:

    But what about the environment?

    Not a problem. Gmail Paper is made out of 96% post-consumer organic soybean sputum, and thus, actually helps the environment. For every Gmail Paper we produce, the environment gets incrementally healthier.



  2. Re:A truly bizzare hexagon on Cassini Probes the Hexagon On Saturn · · Score: 1

    I applaud you, sir. I haven't laughed that hard in a while.

    You also owe me a new keyboard.

  3. Re:How long do we have to argue about the why... on Sun May Be Warming Both Earth and Mars · · Score: 2, Funny

    Seriously. I don't care WHY you think the Earth is warming, all I care about is people trying to DO something about it.

    I'm waving a magic stick around. What are you doing to stop global warming?

  4. Neat on 3D Printers To Build Houses · · Score: 1

    But how to you turn gypsum into windows?

  5. Re:Sad, really... on Professor Comes Up With a Way to Divide by Zero · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Hmmm, that's different from my answer.

    0*infinity=nullity

    0 * infinitity becomes:
    (0)*(1/0) becomes:
    (0*1)/0 becomes:
    0/0 = nullity

  6. Re:100 years later... on Physicists Promise Wireless Power · · Score: 2, Funny

    My what a good excuse for us geeks to go and get a beer!
    Telsa is vindicated! Pass me a beer!
    It's Wednesday! Pass me another beer!

  7. IBM? on Longhorn Server's "Improved" Security · · Score: 1
    while the other results in "You have offended my operating system of choice, prepare to die...

    My name is Inigo B Montoya, you killed my OS, prepare to die.
    IBM was wronged as a child, who knew?
  8. If you're gonna say that on Survey of Super Massive Black Holes Completed · · Score: 1

    If you're gonna say that, you need to do that Dr Evil pinky thing.

  9. You're not proving your point on Is Backyard Wind Power Worth It? · · Score: 1

    You're not proving your point wth your giant penis flowers

  10. I just had a bizzaro idea on OpenCyc 1.0 Stutters Out of the Gates · · Score: 1

    Maybe I was inspired by that Hyperactive Bob/robotic fast food story from yesterday. Could Cyc be used to aid/automate education? Some of the most effective teaching techniques involve a guided exchange of questons between the student and teacher. Could Cyc be modified to ASK questions? Could Cyc be used to quantify what students are learning?

    All this time and effort was spent to educate a computer, can we dump that knowledge back into young uneducated humans?

  11. re: In other news, Congress repeals the Laws of Th on Power, Water and Refrigeration in One Box · · Score: 2, Funny
    In other news, Congress repeals the Laws of Thermodynamics ...

    It's about time Congress did something useful.
  12. Ugh, if this gets implented on Proposal to Update the Electoral College · · Score: 1

    Ugh, if this gets implented we won't be the United States of America anymore. We'd be the United States of California and New York.

  13. Golf clap on Inflatable Private Space Station Launched · · Score: 1

    Now THAT is an obscure internet pop culture reference. I salute you sir!

  14. After listening to the audio... on How The Internet Works - With Tubes · · Score: 1

    After listening to the audio, I have come to the conclusion that the Senator from Alaska is drunk. I've made about as much sense when I'm drunk, too. I wish I could remember my explaination of Windows using smurfs, but...I don't really remember much of that night anyway.

  15. Re:It's becomming obligatory on Encrypted Ammunition? · · Score: 1


    Heh, reminds me of this quote from Police Academy:
    Cmndt. Eric Lassard: What's wrong with this man?
    Cadet Leslie Barbara: There was gunplay, sir, and he missed it.

  16. PFFFT! on Encrypted Ammunition? · · Score: 1

    It is not necessary to force an EMP reference into every single post which mentions the operation of electronic devices.



    Pfft! Says you! I personally, am going to outfit an emp generator into one of my headlights so I won't get any more speeding tickets. Also, now I won't get shot at. BONUS!

  17. Here here! on Futurama Returns · · Score: 5, Funny

    If we can hit that bull's-eye, the rest of the dominoes will fall like a house of cards. Checkmate!

  18. That and Monty Python on Why Startups Condense in America · · Score: 1

    I think you may have a point.

    I was thinking about that scene in Quest for the Holy Grail, where the Dad is explaining about how strong his castle is. ("..that one burnt down, fell over, then sank into the swamp. But the forth one stood. It's the strongest castle in all...", you know the scene.)

    Do British laugh because the old man IS daft?
    Do Americans laugh because they've all been there?

  19. That's ok on Giant Paramount Auction of Star Trek Items · · Score: 1

    That's ok
    *SNIFFFFF* - ahhhhh huhuhuhuhuhuh....

  20. If you leave now... on Giant Paramount Auction of Star Trek Items · · Score: 2, Funny

    If you leave now, we won't get out our plastic phaser toys and wave them menacingly at you.

  21. At least Picard on Giant Paramount Auction of Star Trek Items · · Score: 2, Funny

    At least Picard boldy went where no-one in pajama's has went before.
    When I'm in my pajamas, I don't want to step out my front door.
    Kirk had a spiffy uniform. If I had a spiffy uniform, I'd go places too.

  22. Steve Jobs farted? on Macs May No Longer Be Immune to Viruses · · Score: 1

    Steve Jobs farted? I'll get the gas capture bags! We can sell it as a perfume for Mac addicts!

  23. Bah on Colbert New Comic-in-Chief · · Score: 1

    Everyone says Clinton got a blow job, big deal. Nobody remembers that the lie was part of his sworn testimony in a court case. The blow job wasn't that big of a deal...embarrassing, but no big deal. Perjury is a crime.

  24. eh? on Trapping Toxins Using Gold Nanoparticles · · Score: 1

    Which legends are you reading. I though unicorn horns were supposed to be a cure for toxins, not a detector.

  25. Re:You have to feel for the guy on RMS Views on Linux, Java, DRM and Opensource · · Score: 1
    Actually, RMS is more a John The Baptist than a saint
