  1. Re:So basically this means on Scientists Using Lasers To Cool Molecules · · Score: 1

    [disclaimer] Any agency that is sniffing my packets will find the stench of wrongdoing here.

    Oh no, IP packet fragmentation!

    At least it is in a wrapper.

    Jerusalem (formerly known as Jebus see Jebusite) is your brother?

  3. Re:Pretty common. on Hunters Shot Down Google Fiber · · Score: 4, Funny

    During his Beretta days Robert Blake was on the Johnny Carson show.

    He told a story of walking in Northern Europe during WWII. They saw some insulators.

    "It was wartime. We had guns on us. When we got back to camp, we were told that the Germans had cut the communication lines."

  4. Re:Remember the old lady on Opossums Overrun Brooklyn, Fail To Eliminate Rats · · Score: 1

    Did they learn nothing from the story of the old lady who swallowed a gator?

    Oh wait, the gator ate her.

    Is that a marsupial kitten?

  5. Re:Obligatory Simpsons on Opossums Overrun Brooklyn, Fail To Eliminate Rats · · Score: 1

    "Just bring in a colony of ferocious lions to eat the possums"

    Not lions; lion shit. Get bags and drag them around to convince the possums that there is something big and very bad living there.

    Herd them into a PETA headquarters. Leave a note that they seem to be some kind of kittens.

    Tell the cops that they get 3/5 of a point for each one killed and buy a pair of firing range earmuffs.

  6. Re:What? on WikiLeaks Founder 'Free To Leave Sweden' · · Score: 1

    Tax payer funds (direct and the much larger indirect money supply inflation [chrismartenson.com] is not destined for mating

    I love your mistake, freudian slip or not.

    If tax funds were used to help mate, then us geeks would be lucky finally!

    Maybe we should write our congresspersons about it...

    And their henchpersons.

  7. Re:*Yawn* Local Root Exploit on Linux Kernel Exploit Busily Rooting 64-Bit Machines · · Score: 1

    The exploit in question actually includes a SELinux bypass. SELinux and AppArmor are not as great as you think; they are understood well enough that hackers can defeat them, and they are deployed on enough systems that hackers write their exploits so these protections are defeated.

    Cue scary Theremin music

    Well Theremin was a spy.

  8. Re:Obligatory ISR on Self-Assembling Photovoltaic Cells · · Score: 1

    In Soviet Russia, self-assembling photovoltaic cells develop you.

    Yeah Yeah. Now how do I get out of this cell?

  9. Re:Killing me in my sleep? on U. Penn Super Quadcopter Learns New Tricks · · Score: 2, Informative

    Can't wait for a version with two swiveling turbines at the tips of small wing, eh?

    Something similar was : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hiller_Hornet

  10. Re:So the weak point in the system is...... on Helicopter Crashes While Filming Autonomous Audi · · Score: 2, Interesting

    If one has four rotors, wouldn't he use collective pitch on the individual rotors, rather than cyclic pitch or rpm change?

  11. Re:Do people still flash lights in the US? on Criminal Charges Against Speed Trap Tweeter · · Score: 1

    Isn't that hard to do whilst driving mate?

    Chewbacca lives on Endor wihout any Linux or Windows computers ....

    They use Force computers.

  13. Re:Infrastructure investments on Afghan Government Turns To Iran For Internet · · Score: 1

    With the violence, and destruction that is rampant over there (specifically to western companies) there may not be much money to be made. And Iran is not in it for profit.

    They want to be known as Iranian Service Providers.

  14. Re:The Business Glass Alliance Announces on BSA's Latest Piracy Claims 'Shockingly Misleading,' Says Geist · · Score: 1

    A better analogy would be that night one of your neighbours looks over your fence and thinks "hmm, that's a good idea" and digs his own hole and turns his hole into a swimming pool.

    And since it is at night, he puts the dirt in your pool.

  15. Re:Huh? on A Portable Laser Backpack For 3D Mapping · · Score: 1

    The backpack is the first of a series of similar systems to work without being strapped to a robot or attached to a cart.

    Nope; it apparently has to be strapped to a human (a slave, no doubt). Definitely an improvement, efficiency-wise. :P

    Or a student...

    Or a rat...

  16. Re:Space Smurf Pocahantas on James Cameron Commissions Submarine To Visit Challenger Deep · · Score: 1

  17. Re:just like 3D cinema on Morphing Metals · · Score: 1

    Shape memory metals seem to come into the public consciousness every decade or so only to fade back into obscurity just as quickly.

    Then the memory is bent out of shape (just like the alloy) until it is not recognizable.

    It shows a wooden doll with a long nose, or as we say a virtual ombudsman.

    Would it cause your eggs to be encased in substandard calcium coatings?

  20. Re:What the hell? on High Fructose Corn Syrup To Get a Makeover · · Score: 3, Funny

    I say we petition the government to outlaw glucose as well. ;)

    And while you are at it, outlaw livers (glucose pushers) as well.

  21. Re:50 Years Away? on Construction of French Fusion Reactor Underway · · Score: 1

    I'm sure Fusion was only 20 years away when I was a kid 30 years ago.

    There was a curse on the reactor.

  22. Re:The sad thing is that on Construction of French Fusion Reactor Underway · · Score: 1

    That eternal "Fusion is 50 years away" saying stopped being due to physics and started being due to squabbling countries and their bureaucracies many years ago. ITER could have been started over a decade ago.

    But they have to finish it before 21 December 2012.
