  1. Interesting on Microsoft Unveils Street Slide Map UI · · Score: 1

    So, is this solely the technology of stitching panoramas together, or am I to believe that Microsoft has laid down the framework for a possible equivalent to the Streetview cars/mapping them to the equivalent points on their map service?

  2. Apply logic to other things... on UK Courts Rule Nintendo DS R4 Cards Illegal · · Score: 4, Insightful

    My baseball bat is a murder weapon. The fact that I can use it to play baseball is not a defense.

    Guns for hunting/murder.

    Recording devices for reminders/spying.

    Tacos for eating/poison delivery.

  3. D doesn't care. on School District Drops 'D' Grades · · Score: 1

    D will just hang out with his other, more cool friends, like E. They don't want to have anything to do with your silly 'grades' anyway.

  4. Re:Solution to theft on If You Don't Want Your Car Stolen, Make It Pink · · Score: 2, Funny

    Thanks. Now I'll never be raped.

  5. What failed it? on Heat Ray Gun Fails Final Test; Nixed From War · · Score: 1

    Was it not effective enough? Was it -too- effective? Did they decide that this 'non-harmful' weapon wasn't harmful enough? Was it too expensive to use/move?

    I think I know what. They were pissed because they realized the very principle of the thing wouldn't heat their burritos any more evenly than their microwaves.

  6. Re:pr0n on Chatroulette To Log IP Addresses, Take Screenshots · · Score: 2, Funny

    Worse yet, a screenshot of one of those child-flashers winds up used in one of those "grow your penis 4 inches in a week" ads.

  7. Re:The Romans did it on Porn Sites Still Exposed In China · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Except our circuses are internets, and our bread is porn.

  8. Well, on Pentagon Workers Tied To Child Porn · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    I suppose this isn't quite as bad as being tied in child porn.

  9. XBox Portable? on Microsoft Signs License With ARM · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The first two things that come to mind when putting Microsoft and ARM together are Windows Phone 7 Phones and portable gaming systems, not slate tablets and full-on consoles.

  10. Electricity on GPUs Helping To Lower CT Scan Radiation · · Score: 1

    Neat. Does this also reduce the running costs of the machines, or would that be a negligible benefit compared to not irradiating your patients?

  11. Re:WARNING on Brain Scans May Help Guide Career Choice · · Score: 1

    Cool. I don't seem to remember the name of it, though. Do you? I really want to watch/read this.

  12. Re:Yu on Feds Bust Chinese Firm's Hybrid Car Data Heist · · Score: 5, Funny

    Du's were paid.

  13. Re:It stands to reason on World of Warcraft Can Boost Your Career · · Score: 1

    Damn, man. I pushed my support ticket regarding my respawn for half an in-game century, and you know what they did? Yeah, they respawned me, but the bastards reset my levels, took all my gear, and randomized my race/class setup!

  14. Re:WARNING on Brain Scans May Help Guide Career Choice · · Score: 1

    I remember reading a story which went exactly like that. They were all "I'm sorry, he scored too high."

    It was the inspiration for the comment. :3

  15. Does it come in other animal flavours? on The World's Strongest, Most Expensive Beer Served Inside a Squirrel · · Score: 3, Insightful

    "Drunk off a skunk" is the closest I wish to come to "drunk as a skunk."

  16. I can see it now on Contextual Ads Based On Images · · Score: 2, Funny

    On Chatroulette: Penis Enlargement Ads

    On Facebook: Clearasil, weight loss

    On Playboy: Penis Enlargement

    On Twilight Fan sites: Psychologists

    On BMW and fancy cars: Penis Enlargement

  17. WARNING on Brain Scans May Help Guide Career Choice · · Score: 3, Funny

    "Oh god! This one's too smart! He'll see through our liberal conspiracy!"

    "Quick, recommend his name to the Government Death Panel/Healthcare Board! And remove his access to tin foil!"

  18. Re:Custom ROMs on 'Bloatware' Becoming a Problem On Android Phones · · Score: 1

    This is true, but it can easily become a bother, since upgrading the ROM will typically bring back the stuff you uninstalled the last time around.

  19. Weight? on Micro Plane That Perches On Power Lines · · Score: 1

    How large can a glider be before you would have to worry about breaking power lines?

    What is it like to detach from the line and start flight back up? I can't imagine it being too smooth a process, what with starting out by pointing straight up.

  20. Low hanging fruit on Apple Doesn't Appreciate Toilet Humor · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I can't tell which company is more full of shit.

  21. Re:Hypospray. on Vaccine Patch Removes Needle Pain · · Score: 1

    Zank you, herr doktor!

  22. Re:Does it work in reverse? on Vaccine Patch Removes Needle Pain · · Score: 1

    I figured I got it wrong. I just sort of guessed based on the direction they stuck the needle in. So the needle points upstream, then?

  23. Re:Hypospray. on Vaccine Patch Removes Needle Pain · · Score: 1

    Maybe if we made a means of spraying small clouds of microneedles... Though that sounds much more like an amusing weapon than a means of healing someone.

  24. Re:Does it work in reverse? on Vaccine Patch Removes Needle Pain · · Score: 1

    If they barely penetrate the skin, I don't think that there would be enough bloodflow to do anything. Maybe if the blood samples we needed were ridiculously small. Like an efficient blood sugar meter or something. Most typical things requiring a blood sample need a significantly larger amount, the sort that takes poking at arteries in your arm.

  25. Some One Liners on Thermosphere Contraction Puzzles Scientists · · Score: 2, Funny

    "Don't worry, it's cool."

    "Don't worry, I suffer from a bit of shrinkage, too."
