  1. Re:Go Vegan on Using Infrared Cameras To Find Tastiness of Beef · · Score: 1

    You've got it all wrong. A vegan diet means to eat a Cheverolet Vega. But consuming that much rust can't be healthy...

  2. Did anyone else read this as... on AT&T Admits New York City iPhone Service Sucks · · Score: 1

    For the past three months more people in NYC are leaving AT&T than they are picking up as new subscribers?

  3. Free Hookers!* on How To Spread Word About My FOSS Project? · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    *US Only, Not valid in Nevada, Void where prohibited by law.

  4. Re:Better than chance? on Political Affiliation Can Be Differentiated By Appearance · · Score: 1

    A Democrat claims to be helping working-class people while selling to corporate interests, whereas a Republican sells out to corporate interests while claiming to help working-class people...

  5. Re:no problem on Universe Closer To Heat Death Than Once Thought · · Score: 1

    Considering that red dwarfs are expected to last trillions of years (no red dwarf has ever died. The universe is too young)

    Then explain why it's been so long since there have been any new episodes. Lister, Kryten, Rimmer, and Cat have to be up to something...

  6. Re:effectively perfect? on Researchers Claim "Effectively Perfect" Spam Blocking Discovery · · Score: 1

    "Effectively perfect" is probably like "Slightly Pregnant"

  7. Re:How many times do I have to tell you on Researchers Claim "Effectively Perfect" Spam Blocking Discovery · · Score: 1

    You have to disable wireless as well.

  8. Re:So essentially... on Why Counter-Terrorism Is In Shambles · · Score: 1

    The 'War on Terror' will prove to be ineffective as the 'War on Drugs'.

    It is never a good idea to declare war on something that is incapable of surrendering. Unless Osama bin Laden can surrender on behalf of all terrorists everywhere the 'War on Terror' can never be one.

  9. Re:ignore him on Pat Robertson Says Haitians Made a Pact WithThe Devil · · Score: 1

    He's probably just mad because some of his followers are making to Hatian relief funds rather to him...

  10. Re:Statescraft on Google.cn Attack Part of a Broad Spying Effort · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It is also the first step in the diplomatic process that can lead to condemnations from the UN, sanctions, or even war.

    When has UN condemnation ever acomphished anything?
    Who exactly woud sanctions against China hurt? (Hint: not China)
    Who is going to declare war on a country with over a billion people and manufacturers most of all but the most secretive millitrary hardware for just about the rest of the world?

  11. Re:Only the ones he knows about. on Man Sues Neighbor For Not Turning Off His Wi-Fi · · Score: 1

    And I'm sure there will be no Wi-Fi or cellphones at the courthouse when he pleads his case...

  12. Re:WTF is up with the summary? on Another Crumbling Reactor Springs a Tritium Leak · · Score: 5, Funny

    What, besides shutting down leaky old nuclear plants, could be done to better control release of tritium into the environment?

    Nothing. For the sake of the environment we should shut down these dirty, poluting nuclear power plants and replace them with clean eco-friendly coal burning plants at once.

  13. Re:Free phone on CES, Reporter Breaks "Unbreakable" Mobile Phone · · Score: 1

    You broke it, it's yours!

  14. How about SciFi itself? on What SciFi Should Get the Reboot Treatment Next? · · Score: 1

    Changing the name to Syfy is an obvious sign they have jumped a whole school(?) Of sharks. (too lazy to look up what a group of sharks are...)

  15. Re:The art of the possible. on Here We Go Again — Video Standards War 2010 · · Score: 1

    Disney and Apple are supporting a media-purchase-validation system that won't work unless your purchase is DRM'd. Disney and Apple are proposing one that works equally well with un-DRM'd media.

    If it isn't DRMed, why would it need to be validated?

  16. Re:Encryption algorithm's aren't the weak link on NIST Investigating Mass Flash Drive Vulnerability · · Score: 2, Funny

    Just use Quantum Encryption, They'll never crack that.

  17. Re:Bible Code? on 8% of Your DNA Comes From a Virus · · Score: 1

    Infinite monkeys pounding on keyboards over an infinite span of time would create the combined works of William Shakespeare, and all that...

    The Internet seems to have discredited that theory.

  18. Re:The Zune? Nope. on Microsoft's Risky Tablet Announcement · · Score: 1

    I've only seen one Zune 'In the wild' (outside of store display cases) so they aren't selling well and the few that have been sold are usually hidden to hide the mark of shame of owning a Zune.

  19. I'm sure the Mothers Curse has been invoked: on Man Spends Parents Retirement Fund On Lavish Lifestyle · · Score: 1

    I hope when you have kids they are Just Like You...

  20. This just in! on Boost a Weak 3G Modem Signal, With a Saucepan · · Score: 3, Funny

    In response to Verizon's "Map" ads, All AT&T 3G phones now come with a skillet. A new iPhone ad states: "Frying bacon and eggs for breakfast? There's an app for that"

  21. Re:How hard is it to have something like this in U on China Debuts the World's Fastest Train · · Score: 1

    Seizing private property and forcing the owners to accept a pittance in return just won't work in the U.S.

    The last I heard there hasn't been any meaningful eminent domain reforms so that probably isn't the case. It probably has more to do with NIMBY, antiquated railway regulation, deteriorating rail infrastructure, negative public perception of rail transport, etc.

  22. Re:Torchwood Cardiff moves to North Pole on The Science of Santa · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't it be "I saw Daddy kissing Santa Claus"?
