  1. Contradictio in terminus on NASA Moon Launch May Be Delayed After 2020 · · Score: 1

    Somehow seeing the words 'only' and '0.5 billion dollars' in one sentence gives me a strange feeling in my stomach.

  2. Head first rails on Head First Rails · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Sounds like a way to commit suicide.

  3. Re:Monsanto's motto... on Biotech Company To Patent Pigs · · Score: 2, Funny

    But that means he patented death even before God thought of it. And that means he existed even before God created Adam. The ways of the Lord are surely incomprehensible.

  4. Re:Monsanto's motto... on Biotech Company To Patent Pigs · · Score: 4, Funny

    You mean 4000 BC. The Earth is only 6000 years old.

  5. Re:Is "Waste" Heat Really Free Energy? on How to Charge Your Cellphone Using Wasted Heat · · Score: 1

    You must have a very efficient car to need only 35 kW.

  6. Why? on How to Charge Your Cellphone Using Wasted Heat · · Score: 1

    I don't understand that people expect me to first watch a video and then click ten links just to read an article. Yes, yes, ad revenue, I know, but I guess the majority of people that are directed to a site like that won't bother to read the text.

  7. Re:90s layout on A Monster LED Array For Irresponsible Fun · · Score: 1

    Why does he bother to make a website then?

  8. Re:Is it just me... on A Monster LED Array For Irresponsible Fun · · Score: 3, Insightful

    That's a real nerd solution to a problem that shouldn't exist. If the person who made that website wants people to read it it should render correctly in most browsers. Apparently (s)he doesn't care who reads his/her website so I'm not going to bother.

  9. 90s layout on A Monster LED Array For Irresponsible Fun · · Score: 1, Troll

    Wow, the person who made that website is firmly stuck in the 1990s. No way I'm going to be reading that webpage.

  10. Re:Academics meh... on Academics To Predict Next Twitter and Its Pitfalls · · Score: 3, Insightful

    But they do know what they want. A faster horse, or whatever the equivalent is these days.

  11. Re:Anyone else surprised... on "Tweenbots" Test NYC Pedestrian-Robot Relations · · Score: 1

    We Dutch are the rudest people in the world, so you can still learn a lot from us I think. In Amsterdam these little robots would be flattended or thrown in a canal in no time.

  12. Re:DVDFab on Decent DVD-Ripping Solution For Linux? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    That's Linux for you and the reason why I switched to a Mac. Linux is a fantastic OS but many of the applications that run on it are just not mature enough to be used by laymen.

  13. Re:other potential things on Nine Words From Science Which Originated In Science Fiction · · Score: 1

    "Pigs in Space" was sci fi though. It even sounds better than fantasy in space.

  14. Re:1982?!!??! on ARM — Heretic In the Church of Intel, Moore's Law · · Score: 1
  15. From the blurp: on Bionic Eye Telescope To Treat Macular Degeneration · · Score: 1

    Magnifying the image on the eye allows the retinal cells outside the macula enables a patient to recognize details using their peripheral vision.
     
    What?

  16. Cliffhanger on What Would It Look Like To Fall Into a Black Hole? · · Score: 1

    What a cliffhanger. Just when it gets interesting it stops! I hope "Falling into a Black Hole II - The Sequel" comes out soon.

  17. Re:Upgrading on Mac Tax, Dell Tax, HP Tax · · Score: 1

    The guys in the Apple store told me that scheme won't work. I haven't tried it though but be warned.

  18. Re:Adequate Reward? Please... on Volunteers Simulate Mission To Mars · · Score: 1

    I'm a scientist in NL and 73000 US$ is about 1.25 times as much as I earn now.

  19. Re:UDF on TomTom Settles With Microsoft · · Score: 1

    No you don't. You can remove it from the U3 manager itself. See the FAQ on the Sandisk website. I really don't understand why they made this software in the first place though.

  20. Re:I'd ultimately argue... on Games As Transformative Works · · Score: 1

    Try an adventure game with multiple endings.

  21. Re:Cue the following: on Texas Vote May Challenge Teaching of Evolution · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Feynman had something to say about everything. He is the most overhyped scientist of the 20th century.

  22. Creationism rules on 95M-Year-Old Octopus Fossils Discovered · · Score: 4, Insightful

    This fossil proves that evolution can never be the way species appear. We have so many animals that haven't evolved at all in millions of years: crocodiles, sharks, turtles, octopusses... I tell you, all these animals have been put on the Earth by the great Spaghetti Monster (hallowed be its name) and have proven worthy of staying. That's why they haven't become extinct.

  23. Re:Sarcastic or not? on How $1,500 Headphones Are Made · · Score: 1

    Nice macro pictures on the front page. No way I'm going to click through 10 pages just to read a story though.

  24. Re:Shiny and tiny! on iPod Shuffle Finds Its Voice · · Score: 1

    Nowhere near close. The puck mouse did exactly what it was supposed to do.
     
    If it was supposed to give you intsant RSI then you are certainly right.

  25. Re:Shiny and tiny! on iPod Shuffle Finds Its Voice · · Score: 1

    Thus we arrive at what is without a doubt the single worst product that apple has ever released.

    No, the puck mouse still has the nr. 1 place. The new iPod shuffle is at least usable, but it definately comes close though.
