  1. In other news.... on Russian Army Upgrades Its Inflatable Weapons · · Score: 1

    Russia breaks new ground in the inflatable doll industry.

  2. Re:20 years? on Oxford Expands Library With 153 Miles of Shelves · · Score: 1

    Not a win. I just thought you actually had an example. Was looking forward to either being excited or disappointed in a loss of physical media.

  3. Re:20 years? on Oxford Expands Library With 153 Miles of Shelves · · Score: 1

    So... not "more and more" then. Thanks.

  4. Re:20 years? on Oxford Expands Library With 153 Miles of Shelves · · Score: 1

    Yes... the point is the "only released in digital format" thing doesn't seem to hold true to me. There aren't any cases of significant books "only released in digital format" that I can think of, let alone "more and more" of them.

  5. Re:20 years? on Oxford Expands Library With 153 Miles of Shelves · · Score: 1

    Yes, but artists people care about actually were and are releasing stuff in digital form.

    My question, while somewhat vulgar, was an honest question: How many books that people actually care about doesn't have SOME physical copy?

    I can answer that question in related to artists: Jonathan Coulton. And even HE has physical copies of his stuff!

  6. Re:20 years? on Oxford Expands Library With 153 Miles of Shelves · · Score: 1

    More and more books? How many books that we give two shits about won't release at least SOME form of physical copy?

  7. Re:Oh come on on Top Reason for Facebook Unfriending Is Too Many Useless Posts · · Score: 2, Informative

    No, this is Idle. Derp.

  8. Re:Not good for lefties? on Gaming Mouse Changes Shape For a Custom Fit · · Score: 1

    I'll bite: Why did the office members use their mice with their left hands?

  9. Projectile? on Inventor Creates Flotation Device Bazooka · · Score: 3, Insightful

    "Hitting the water activates an expanding foam unit..."

    What about hitting a drowning human?

  10. Someone here's messed up bad on G2 Detects When Rooted and Reinstalls Stock OS · · Score: 5, Informative

    G2 is by HTC, and I'm fairly sure isn't running MotoBlur.

  11. This technology... on Light Could Make Paralyzed Limbs Move · · Score: 2, Funny

    I bet people would be masters of raves and/or the disco with proper application of this tech.

  12. I am pleased on Malware Running On Graphics Cards · · Score: 5, Funny

    With this technology, new, more sophisticated Rickrolling is now possible.

  13. The Plaintiff? on In Court? Be Careful What You Post On Facebook · · Score: 1

    That's pretty strange. It's almost as if he's the one on trial.

  14. Nouns! on AMD Offers Women Geek Dating Advice · · Score: 5, Funny

    I know. I accidentally the whole thing, and yet I can still it lightheartedly.

  15. Re:Good on Blockbuster Files For Bankruptcy · · Score: 1

    I think the parent was talking about a movie that the STORE lost, and charged for, not the parent. Which seems stupid/unfair to me.

  16. Re:Survival manual on In Case of Emergency, Please Remove Your Bra · · Score: 5, Funny

    Remember to help yourself before assisting others.

  17. Re:What's wrong with this? on Facebook Post Juror Gets Fined, Removed, Assigned Homework · · Score: 1

    "gonna be fun to tell the defendant they're GUILTY."

    Hmm. Nope.

  18. Re:Really? on First Review of Avatar Special Edition · · Score: 1

    It's more or less a technological spectacle. Like the matrix proving we could do slow-motion AND rotating pan shots at the same time, we got magical overlay cameras which let us get 'natural' movements that apply mo-cap to the cameraman as well as the actors and their facial expressions. All that was half-rendered live to give a preview through the pseudo-cameras.

  19. The Future on Internet Explorer Turns 15 · · Score: 1, Funny

    Has Internet Explorer thought hard about what it wants to do with its life? It's very nearly all grown up, isn't it time to think about college?

  20. 23 years "later"? on How Star Trek Artists Imagined the iPad... 23 Years Later · · Score: 1

    It hasn't been 23 years since the iPad came out, and the article says "23 years ago" anyway.

  21. Re:Thank God! on Rubik's Cube Now Solvable in 20 Moves · · Score: 1

    If we're comparing things like that, then I think you better quit the internet and donate your computer/internet subscription money to cancer research. Much more useful than this comment.

  22. Re:What would you do? on Is AOL Finally Crashing and Burning? · · Score: 1

    Psh, if AOL got their hands on Web 2.0, they'd be all the way to Web 6.0 in a year.

  23. Where does the power come from? on Gasoline From Thin Air · · Score: 1

    Conservation of energy: the power that you burn out of the gasoline has to come from something. Would it be the sun? Some form of energy from the chemicals in the reaction?

  24. Re:"ill-fated?" on Mars Rover Spirit May Never Wake From Deep Sleep · · Score: 1

    My general methods for outperforming expectation are to ensure low ones to begin with. How certain are we that the same did not happen here?

  25. Re:The tao of programming on How Should a Non-Techie Learn Programming? · · Score: 2, Funny

    You're obviously not trying hard enough if you only frustrate them a single day with a program.
