    this joke will never get old

  2. sure can on Can Zuckerberg Leap the Great Firewall of China? · · Score: 1

    but he should be very aware of the dogs once he's at the other side.

  3. Re:Hm.. on 'Reading Level' Filter Added To Google Search · · Score: 1

    makes me remember all the trolling in kindergarden. anyway, i'd be interested in how they compute those numbers. i mean, foxnews.com beats slashdot with 24% basic, 73% intermediate, and 1% advanced... seriously?!

  4. Acronym of union on Atomic Weight Not So Constant · · Score: 1

    Wait let me guess.. IUPACHCIAW, right??

  5. Re:Wes Crusher on Fourth Amendment Protects Hosted E-mail · · Score: 1

    geekoid? no that would be CrushingWesley or something like that. Howard would be PMS (perpetual motion squad, aaiight). Rajesh is the slumdogmillionaireTrueStory. And Leonard 'BadFish' Hofstadter would be Leakey. my guess :)

  6. Re:wait, what? on Ukraine To Open Chernobyl Area To Tourists · · Score: 1

  8. 2001 on Study Suggests Saturn's Rings Made By Ancient Moon Death Spiral · · Score: 1

    I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't tell you about the true origins of Saturn's rings.

  9. new business model on SatPhones — Why Can't They Make It Work? · · Score: 1

    That's why they're changing their business model. The new Iridium satellites ($2.1 billion, next-gen constellation), for instance, will give half of the payload space to their satcom application, and the other part will be for sale to anybody that needs a satellite platform but cannot / doesn't want to use a dedicated one.

  10. Re:slashed tires? on LHC Prepares Marathon Higgs Hunt · · Score: 1

    lol well then my humor detector needs to be adjusted.. but if you're reading Sergio Bertolucci as Silvio Berlusconi, you're watching too much Italian TV ;)

  11. Re:slashed tires? on LHC Prepares Marathon Higgs Hunt · · Score: 1

    Not paining a very good picture of their community there, is he?

    Work on your humor detector. Ask Penny for help.

    Also, did anyone else read his name as "Silvio Berlusconi?" Seems like a misspelled version, or something...

    Not if you're Italian or speak Italian. But it's always like that, if you're not familiar with some class of objects, it's difficult to tell apart the sub-classes (as in "for Asians all Europeans look alike" and vice versa).

  12. Re:The Land Before CPUs on All-Analog DIY Segway Project · · Score: 3, Informative

    Talking about spaceflight, the Russians only recently replaced the analogue Soyuz control system with a fully digital one.

  13. Re:microsoft peculiarity? on Interval's Patent Suit Against the World Dismissed · · Score: 1

    what's a soldier without a battle? what's rms without a beard? what's slashdot without microsoft bashing?

  14. microsoft peculiarity? on Interval's Patent Suit Against the World Dismissed · · Score: 2

    what is it with all those ex microsoft employees running patent firms?
    btw imagining ballmer leaving microsoft and opening his own patent trolling outfit, wouldn't that be like a christmas gift to the microsoft bashing community? hmm christmas, geeks, creativity... i see a market for ballmer action figures throwing chairs!
    ok daily bashing quota reached.

  15. Re:Revival of the floppy disk! on Military Bans Removable Media After WikiLeaks Disclosures · · Score: 1

    Yeah great videos of rappers telling us not to copy that floppy all over again.

  16. Super Heavy Necessary? on SpaceX's Dragon Module Successfully Re-Enters · · Score: 1

    I was always wondering, do we need rockets of such a huge capacity, given the possibility (not yet, sure, but hopefully soon) of in-orbit assembly?

  17. Re:Not First, but on Top Final Fantasy XIV Devs Replaced, PS3 Version Delayed · · Score: 1

    Doesn't count, since unlike Square Enix you were in time.

  18. Bernie Bunny on Scientists Create Mice From 2 Fathers · · Score: 1

    has two daddies now.

  19. Re:Wtf pentagon? on Pentagon Papers Ellsberg Supports Wikileaks · · Score: 1

    i wonder what the printers in battlestar galactica would look like..

  20. Re:Scale on NASA Records Solar Blast of Epic Proportions · · Score: -1, Troll

    For scale, yo mamma makes it look like a firefly in comparison.

    According to the level 80 shaman that lives in my basement ...

    yeah mom i'm running out of food down here could you bring me some pizza please?

  22. Re:This topic begs the question... on NASA Launches Micro Solar Sail · · Score: 1

    We all know from Futurama that people in the 20th century didn't really think about how to efficiently deal with garbage. But fortunately there's a practical solution to the problem.

  23. Where is Assange? on Digging Into the WikiLeaks Cables · · Score: 1

    Do the Governments know where Assange is? So I heard he's hopping from one airport to another, do you think that's true? And perhaps also the safest thing for avoiding being arrested?

  24. how well does gateway control work on China Views Internet As "Controllable" · · Score: 1
    True enough.

    Next question, how well can the Chinese government control the Internet access points of their citizens?
    I suppose they're quite efficient at it, but I'm also sure there are ways to operate "subversive information flows."
    Specifically, how safe is it for a person in China to bypass the Golden Shield Project?

    And while we're at it, how well can they control international information flow between their territory and other countries? Anybody got some info?

  25. Wait, what?! on Microsoft Invests In Open Source Software Company · · Score: 1

    M$.. investing in open source.. good.. evil.. must.. classify.. DOES NOT COMPUTE!
