  1. Re:The science of better Guinness on The Science of Stout Beer · · Score: 1

    I am not drunk. I paid a lot of money learning to walk like this.

    --

    Where can I buy a good ancient Egyptian beer.

  2. Re:KnownAbout != Importance on Gates' Future of Education Straight Out of '60s · · Score: 1

    Long ago, I knew some guys who were thinking of bit banging the 11 bit Plato serial interface for their terminals. I suspect that they did not do it.

    Later a school director bought a number of Plato terminals without realizing that they needed to be on line to work.

  3. Re:is it worth it? on ARM Chips Designed For 480-Core Servers · · Score: 1

    A lot of servers are idling for most of the day, but you need them to be able to scale up quickly at certain peak times.

    Do you mean power up quickly?

  4. Re:Sticks and stones ... on First Brit Prosecuted Over Twitter Libel · · Score: 1

    What ever happened to:

    Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.

    When did we all turn into a bunch of pussies who are unable to shrug off this sort of bullshit?

    Speak a little louder into my fountain pen.

  5. Re:Hackers can turn your home computer into a bomb on Hacking a Car With Music · · Score: 1

    Would that be Mushroom Cloud computing?

    One more hot number and it goes up like Hiroshima.

  6. Re:Hackers can turn your home computer into a bomb on Hacking a Car With Music · · Score: 1

    LOL, funniest part about that story:

    When the receiver downloads the attachment, the electrical current and molecular structure of the central processing unit is altered, causing it to blast apart like a large hand grenade

    And turn into a cloud.

  7. Re:Copy-pasted recipes from Bing (i.e. Google) on Ex-Microsoft CTO Writes $625 Cookbook · · Score: 1

    Seriously, I really hope he actually wrote and did not copy-paste texts from Bing (i.e. Google). Cook book authors tend to reuse others' recipes.

    Oh no, recycled recipes.

  8. Re:Base 7 on What Pi Sounds Like · · Score: 1

    I like base 16 in light of the BBP formula. The formula gives base 16 digits of pi, without computing the previous digits.

    And leading to spigot music.

  9. Re:Pi is wrong. on What Pi Sounds Like · · Score: 1

    I propose twoday today where we write down that specific constant as 2Pi.

    or we can call it pipi

    Goes good with longstockings.

  10. Re:Do we need this? on Debian Is the Most Important Linux · · Score: 4, Funny

    Yet another dick measuring contest? Seriously?

    unique for being the largest, oldest, 100% non-commercial community-driven metric.

  11. Re:As of IE9 on Even Microsoft Wants IE6 Dead · · Score: 1

    As of IE9, Microsoft is doing a far better job of this than it ever used to. But then IE9 could just be Microsoft's trojan horse to get users off Windows XP and onto Windows 7.

    What's a horse?

  12. Re:someone had to say it on Quadruped CHEETAH Robot To Outrun Any Human · · Score: 1

    I, for one, welcome our CHEETAH overlords...

    What about our new COUGAR overlords?

  13. Re:bit.ly is still up on Libyan Internet Flatlined · · Score: 1

    That is because only 2 out of the 5 .ly root nameservers are down. The other three will pick up the slack.

    Three out of five isn't bad.

  14. Millions in Rubles on Russian Payment Processor Runs Massive Scareware Operation · · Score: 2

    They have 1-800 numbers in Russia?

  15. Re:How about the other way around? on Researchers Turn Mice Into Wine Snobs · · Score: 1

    Now, if only they could turn wine snobs into mice...

    Peter Pettigrew is that you?

  16. Re:Duh. How much did we spend on this? on Researchers Turn Mice Into Wine Snobs · · Score: 1

    people don't like the idea of a swarm of mice crawling over their luggage every time they fly.

    I'm sure they'll like the idea of a swarm of mice crawling over their table when they dine even less...

    Waiter, this mouse is corked.

  17. Re:how's the job? on Calculate DrunkenNES With an 8-bit Breathalyzer · · Score: 1

  20. Re:Not Hollywood's Fault on Linus Goes Hollywood At Pre-Oscars Party · · Score: 1

    I think if they really did use Eliza to generate scripts, the scripts generated might be a little more original.

    How long has originality concerned you?

    Two planets cohabiting an orbit; what could be funny or profitable about that?

  23. Re:I guess ... on Campaign Saves Unique Turing Archive · · Score: 2

    I guess this collection is Turing near-complete.

    I'm still studying for my Turing test.

  25. Re:or they could have doctor house consult on Device Addresses Healthcare Language Barrier · · Score: 1

    You mean by randomly trying every medication they have in the hospital and doing every test procedure they can do he finally stumbles upon it. Which is a little less cool than using a magical cane.

    Didn't Microsoft patent a wand?
