  1. Re:Step 4 on How Do You Eat a Triceratops? Start By Ripping the Head Off · · Score: 2

    Step 5 polish the skull and mount it on your spaceship wall.

  2. Re:Taking down a triceratops? on How Do You Eat a Triceratops? Start By Ripping the Head Off · · Score: 1

    Perhaps T.Rex was an ambush hunter, like today's Komodo Dragons, coming out of large brush and attacking from the side. Maybe T.Rex was a social hunter and surrounded its prey.

    Clever Girl...

  3. Shock Collars on Would You Put a Tracking Device On Your Child? · · Score: 2

    What they really need is shock collars. See, you take the collar and you put it on the parent's neck. If the child strays too far away it activates.

    Trixy Hobbittses!

  5. Re:A device that helps find lost kids on Would You Put a Tracking Device On Your Child? · · Score: 1

    A barcode on the back of the neck.

  6. Re:A device that helps find lost kids on Would You Put a Tracking Device On Your Child? · · Score: 1

    It's only controversial because it's playing on unfounded fears. If you really feel that something like this is worthwhile, I have a tiger-repelling rock to sell you. True cases of child abductions are much less likely than people realise.

  7. Re:Cisco and Motorola may object on Huawei Offers 'Complete and Unrestricted' Source Code Access · · Score: 2

    So you're saying that when/if Aus does an inspection of the source code, they WILL find backdoors.

  8. Re:Not a practical solution to our energy problem on Using Winemaking Waste For Making Fuel · · Score: 1

    I am not opposed to gathering up all the organic waste that we can, fermenting it and making alcohol.

    I know a few people who could benefit from this process.

  9. Re:The truth... on Experts Warn About Security Flaws In Airline Boarding Passes · · Score: 1

    I think that America has a fundamental learning issue, which leads to these kinds of flaws. They can't even get a three letter acronym right. Unless they are taking a leaf out of the French book, by calling it Theatre Security America.

  11. Re:Ug on Foxconn Thinks the iPhone 5 Is a Pain · · Score: 1

    Here in Ireland we have in some schools a "Transition Year" where students either work on projects or get work experience. Where I work (a pharma company) we often get some of these kids in for a few weeks or 2 months on a form of internship. I can't be 100% certain (I don't work in HR) but it's quite possible that they might be 14-16 years old.

    Now I know for a fact that the kids that come here dno't do any "real" work, nothing more than photocopying or filing or observing some activities performed by professionals, but without all the facts it is easy for someone to say "OMG they are employing underage kids in a vocational internship".

    A look at the BBC article suggests that Foxconn addressed these and were going to terminate anyone responsible for this. It leads me to think that yes they were doing more than simple photocopying while on an internship there.

    Still, I'd be very careful about what people print to get clicks being slightly on the sensationalist side.

  12. Alternative Article Title on New Zealand Turning Hobbits Into Actual Cash · · Score: 1

  13. Re:Quick question on Curiosity Rover Makes First Foursquare Check-In On Another Planet · · Score: 1

    Definitely Female. I sent it down to the shops for me and look where it ended up.

  14. Wouldn't it be funny on Illegal Downloading Now a Crime In Japan With Increased Penalties · · Score: 1

    I would love to see (yeah it'll never happen) if nobody pirated _anything_ for a year. Would that kill the industry outright you think?

    Hahaha, you'll believe anything the government tells you.

  19. Re:Low Quality = Radio on Neil Young Pushes Pono, Says Piracy Is the New Radio · · Score: 1

    Hey I'd enjoy playing whack-a-mole for a decade instead of pushing a dead model and losing money hand over fist!

  20. It's not really a weapon, on 50 Years of Research and Still No Microwave Weapons · · Score: 2

    You can't way they have no microwave weapons. They have an inefficient crowd control device. We don't know what they have in the lethal range. Probably because they chose not to show it. What's to stop them 'taking the safety' off and cranking out a much higher power version?

  21. Re:Don't fall for it on EVE Online CSM and Diplomat Killed in Libyan Consulate Attacks · · Score: 1

    You're a bigger fool for not realising this for what it really is. Retaliation for burning Jita. Never underestimate the nerdrage of someone who lost a fully loaded freighter.

  22. Re:What kind of dumbass... on Did Sweden Pay Cambodia For the Pirate Bay Co-founder? · · Score: 1

    The US! That's genius, they'd never suspect that! But really, if I've got to choose between 2 lawless corrupt countries, I'll stick to Cambodia.

    Exactly. Masturbating in the shower is the best way. Keeps you clean, and constant running water is a great lubricant.
