  1. Re:Policing comments on In Brazil, Google Fined For Content of Anonymous Posting · · Score: 2, Funny

    FTR, the correct format is Captain Spad, or Captain Spad Pedantic, not just Captain Pedantic

  2. Re:What about Fringe? on Leonard Nimoy Retires From Star Trek · · Score: 1

    I've noticed in recent Fringe episodes that Nimoy seemed to be avoiding appearance, or wasn't contracted to play there any more. He was in Europe when Walter was giving the demonstration (and the mobile phone) to the army people, and then wasn't there at the funeral. Both times excuses were made for his lack of appearance, which seemed plausible, but I had already got to wondering why he seemed to be written out of the story.

    This news doesn't surprise me. It makes what I'd seen in Fringe make sense.

  3. Re:His Master's Voice on Don't Talk To Aliens, Warns Stephen Hawking · · Score: 1

    Clearly the answer is Steven Hawking. The aliens are out to get him, so he's trying to convince us to hide before they find him.

    Could also mean to reduce TO 10%. You clearly don't play WoW much, shame...

    I knew Iain M Banks was on to something.

  7. Re:What's the point? on Gizmodo Blows Whistle On 4G iPhone Loser · · Score: 1

    Wow you went from rational skeptic to tin-foil-hat loony in less than 2 sentences! My hat is off to you, sir.

    Don't remove your hat! They'll get in!

    Seen a Map of France lately?

  9. Re:Not reliable? on Feds Question Big Media's Piracy Claims · · Score: 1

    I was driving to my uncle's house last summer when a Bear ran out in front of my Jeep. I was travelling a high speed and luckily came out of it mostly unhurt (bruising from seatbelt only). The Bear was unfortunately killed instantly.

    The accident was described as alcohol related because Bear closely resembles Beer.

  10. Re:The 10 on The World's Largest Data Centers · · Score: 1

    You left off "All that Jazz" from that list.

  11. Re:New name... on The Pirate Party of Canada Is Official · · Score: 1

    No, let it remain Pirate Party. Then you can just drop the P's altogether to get Irate Arty, their lovable mascot.

  12. Re:Serving two masters on The Pirate Party of Canada Is Official · · Score: 1

    I want to add the crucial detail of it saying “gold”. Not “dollars”. This is intentional.

    YARRR, surely don't all the corps be havin' all the Doubloons!

  13. Re:I'm conflicted on Will Adobe Sue Apple Over Flash? · · Score: 1

    Hi,

    "I'm a manufacturer of soft-top convertible sports cars. Am I to read from your post that since I don't cater for people who want a sunroof I'm violating this Sherman act you refer to?"

    Apple make a product. They decide what features they want it to have/support. If they don't want flash, then it doesn't have flash. Are you locked into buying an apple product, because there are no other alternatives available? No? Then I guess the choice is yours matey.

    Lets take a little look at the PS3 fiasco. If Sony had never allowed OtherOS, right from the start, would people have cared? Do people care that the Wii doesn't have OtherOS on it?

    I don't see what Adobe can do here.

  14. Re:No on Should Kids Be Bribed To Do Well In School? · · Score: 1

    all that matters is RESULTS

    Totally agree. Perhaps part of the reason people are so ticked off about this, is because they've come to believe the lies that effort is uber-important.

    No, the reason they are so ticked off is because this wasn't around when they were in school.

  15. Foreign Language Scrabble on Scrabble To Allow Proper Nouns · · Score: 1

    I've always found it's a whole lot more fun to play scrabble in non-English languages.

    This article was looking pretty bare, until I realised I was browsing at +3 funny.

  17. Re:We hit 7 TeV, but how much more to go? on First Collisions At the LHC · · Score: 1

    I think, only a lay-mans guess here, that you might need all energy ever created, or could ever be created to simulate a big bang.

    It's unlikely that one tiny rock in the universe is capable or generating the necessary energy.

  19. Re:The Qualia beast raises its head again on Could Colorblindness Cure Be Morally Wrong? · · Score: 1

    Mainly this manifests in differences in discrimination ability between colors as well as disagreement about what constitutes a "color match" between observers that are getting different information.

    So this is why girls can tell when those shoes don't go with that handbag?

  20. Re:Holy Shit on IE8, Safari, iPhone All Fall At Pwn2Own Contest · · Score: 1

    You cannot tell someone what the bugs in the system are, you have to see it for yourself.

  23. Re:Next step: a better name on 90% of the Universe Found Hiding In Plain View · · Score: 1

    I have plans to build a Very Large Hadron Collider. I plan to use it to find the Bozo Particle. I'm in desperate need of funding to get it off the design pages though. Does anyone know of some small country that wishes to make its mark on the world, preferably one with excess cash, and a shortage of bread rolls, as my initial investigations have determined this to be a surprising weakness in the system.

    I don't own a TV, and use my PC (with its HDMI connection on the monitor) for all my TV viewing AND to play my PS3 on, with the optical connector going to my sound card and out through my 5.1 speakers.

    How can a /. reader not know what a PCI tuner card is? Do they let just anyone sign up here?
