  1. Exactly on New Red Dwarf Series Threatened By the Twitter Era · · Score: 1

    This is how I get to see the Daily Show five hours early each day: all those audience- created YouTube uploads.

  2. Re:I'll be first to say WTF on Polynomial Time Code For 3-SAT Released, P==NP · · Score: 1

    Integer factorization is not believed to be in the NP-complete class.

  3. Re:Duh... on Nigerian Email Scam Victim Sues Bank, Loses Appeal · · Score: 1

    That's what PO boxes are for. ;-)

  4. Re:Duh... on Nigerian Email Scam Victim Sues Bank, Loses Appeal · · Score: 1

    Here's a question: he's never met this Malaysian in person. He finds himself holding a half million dollars in his account, and now the Malaysian is dependent upon him to send him his supposed due.

    Why send it?

  5. Bah on Intel's Atom To Ship In Over 35 Tablets Next Year · · Score: 1

    There's no way they'll be able to turn a profit if they only ship 35 units. ;-)

  6. Pay up VIM! on Google Patents Browser Highlight All Button · · Score: 2

    The authors of vim know they copied Google's highlight all idea. I hope they do the honorable thing.

  7. There is only one reasonable reaction to this... on EPA Knowingly Allowed Pesticide That Kills Bees · · Score: 1

    Assassinate that traitorous whistleblower!

  8. In the year 3000... on Why Video Game Movie Adaptations Need New Respect · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Movies will *be* video games, so who cares?

  9. Hyperbole much? on Microsoft Seeks 1-Click(er) Patent · · Score: 1

    I haven't been in a classroom for a while, but when I took tests, I don't remember using a clicker, a tablet or a laptop, and I don't remember it updating any PowerPoint presentations.

  10. I'm sorry... on Google, Microsoft Cheat On Slow-Start — Should You? · · Score: 1

    When did RFCs official standards at which you could "cheat"?

    Consider this "cheating" Google and Microsoft's comments.

  11. A Humble Suggestion on Homeland Security Drops Color-Coded Terror Alerts · · Score: 1

    They should replace the color alert system with a list of personal intrusions the TSA will visit upon airline passengers' bodies. Yellow = junk grab; orange = strip search; red = body cavity search.

  12. One more reason... on "Pre-Crime" Comes To the HR Dept. · · Score: 1

    ... to watch who you work for.

  13. Speaking of name changes... on OpenOffice.org Declares Independence From Oracle, Becomes LibreOffice · · Score: 1

    Will they finally change the name of their binary away from "soffice"?

  14. Suddenlink subscribers, you know what to do on US ISP Adopts Three-Strikes Policy · · Score: 1

    Immediately start filing those DMCA takedown notices. Anyone, everyone. Neighbors? Yes. Businesses? Even better. Flood the service with spurious takedown notices and someone will learn how ridiculous that policy is.

    And when all those affected customers cancel their accounts, it'll be much more effective than if it was just you canceling.

    Happy takedowns!

  15. What I could do without... on Afghan Government Turns To Iran For Internet · · Score: 1

    I tell ya what I could do without from the /. RSS feed: ads for Liz Cheney's "Keep America Safe" BS.

  16. Re:Physicist speaking on New Calculations May Lead To a Test For String Theory · · Score: 1

    MAGIC MAN DONE IT!

  17. Re:Enchantments? on Android Fork Brings Froyo To 12 Smartphones · · Score: 3, Funny

    Are you kidding? Apple fans are constantly accused of being under some sort of spell.

  18. Re:Three drinks a day is "heavy"? on 3 Drinks a Day Keeps the Doctor Away · · Score: 5, Funny

    You tell 'em! Just cause you have 3 drinks every day while you're socializing with your friends at the dive bar near the free clinic doesn't make you an alcoholic! Who says it does? I'll kick their damn ass! You can't talk about a person like... without knowing what... why their friends are the best guys in the whole... you should see when they're on the street and I told him 'look bub, you don't ever talk to a carney like that and not get a bit of dirt on your chin'. You're a real cool guy, y'know? We should get together sometime and hang out more. One time I saw this raccoon right out front of the door and I was like 'hey! what are we at war all about?!'... Zzzz...

  19. Simple explanation on 3 Drinks a Day Keeps the Doctor Away · · Score: 1

    It's because the heavy drinkers' muscles are nice and relaxed when they plow into the sober folks' cars.

  20. Great news... on Microsoft Tech Can Deblur Images Automatically · · Score: 1

    ...for my bukake library!

  21. Imagine a world where... on Reading Terrorists' Minds About Imminent Attack · · Score: 1

    shoddy police work and inaccurate results in the real world are overlooked by juries too eager to put their trust in "experts".

    Oh wait, we already live in that world.

    The funny thing is that most terrorists, once caught, seem to quickly admit guilt and cooperate to some extent. It's the ones you don't suspect, with a backpack of explosives, that we should be worried about, not the one already in the interrogation room.

  22. Or... on US Ability To Identify Source of Nuclear Weapons Decays · · Score: 2, Insightful

    ... we could just blame Iran for whatever and save a buttload on that nerdy nuclear forensics.

  23. Finally! on Glass Invisibility Cloak Shields Infrared · · Score: 1, Informative

    When the Predators invade, we'll be ready!

  24. Re:Boo hoo hoo. on Study Finds 0.3% of BitTorrent Files Definitely Legal · · Score: 1

    The analogy would hold if the guy in 1986 were running a bootlegging shop that served hundreds of people a day.

    Making a single copy, using removable media, is not the same as making electronic copies. There's a natural and slignificant obstacle to the former, while the latter is only limited by your bandwidth and integrity.

  25. Great News! on Vaccine Patch Removes Needle Pain · · Score: 1

    This should keep the anti-vax conspiracy theorists in business for at least another 10 years, or until they all die of measles, whichever comes first.
