  1. I thought something like Solarian living on 3D Nausea Solved By Eye-Tracking · · Score: 1

    was a stretch (Issac Asimov's Foundation Earth series) but - holy crap - living alone in our basements with online friends .... we're almost there.

  2. Lady GaGa on A Solar-Powered 3D Printer Prints Glass From Sand · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Just fainted

  3. Hopefully Gandalf on Microsoft, Google, Twitter Debate HTML5 · · Score: 2

    will keep them talking until the sun rises so that they all turn to stone.

  4. Yeah - maybe if you look at it in a silo on Physical Pain and Emotional Pain Use Same Brain Networks · · Score: 2

    but the same brain you are talking about has a "would you rather" processor - and mine would rather suffer an emotional heartbreak than a boot to the head

  5. Re:Err...What?? on Nintendo Announces New Console: Wii U · · Score: 2

    I was excitedly waiting to see the size of the new Wii controller - because my favorite line to use in chat rooms is "my nuts are bigger than the original Xbox controller" and I was hoping to update my quote (as fewer people remember the original Xbox controller) - but now, it's just not going to make sense unless I shave my balls and slap a sticker in the middle. :\

  6. Learning from world events on Syria Drops Off the Internet As Turmoil Spikes · · Score: 2

    ... I've just installed an "Internet kill switch" in my house. Now - I just need to wait for the next time my wife or kids piss me off. Internet Nazi says, "NO INTERNET FOR YOU!"

  7. A message from Mr. Helpmann on Subtle Cyber Attacks Could Tilt Global Economies · · Score: 1

    about the Cyber Attackers: "Bad sportsmanship. A ruthless minority of people seem to have forgotten good old-fashioned virtues. They just can't stand seeing the other fellow win. If these people would just play the game... " - Brazil (Somewhere in the 20th century)

  8. I'm not a computer genius on New Technique For Making JPEG Images Copy-Evident · · Score: 0

    but to someone who is, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE insert a "Rick Roll" into a JPEG. RE: "relies on a complex method for inserting a large message into an image, which will only become visible once the image is copied and recompressed at a different level of quality"

    the truth.

  11. I/We/Gaia on Universe 250+ Times Bigger Than What Is Observable · · Score: 2

    take offense to this comment. I/We/Gaia have beautifully curved boundaries that I/We/Gaia are proud of. In our assimilation of the galaxy, we will make sure to prioritize your solar system and eradicate this stupidity.

  12. Duh - In the middle on Universe 250+ Times Bigger Than What Is Observable · · Score: 1

    like my belly button (poke)(sniff)

  13. Fap? on Playmate Photo From Apollo 12 Up For Auction · · Score: 1

    Sorry - not familiar with that term. Are you implying that no one can hear you punch the clown?

  17. Same here but on Feds Warrantlessly Tracking Americans' Real Time Credit Card Activity · · Score: 1

    add hackers, identity thieves, and Mr. Cumba (or whatever his name is from all those "I want to deposit money in your US account" e-mails) to your list of "watchers"

  18. Why do they always act surprised? on Uncertainty Sets Limits On Quantum Nonlocality · · Score: 1

    When the article opened up with:

    The more one probes the universe at smaller and smaller scales, the weirder matter and energy seem to behave

    ... I thought "patterns" (like in the Powers of 10 display at the science museum). I don't see why "they" are so surprised that the deeper you probe, the weirder it gets. It's natural - universal even!
    I tried it on my bus driver this morning. Had a pleasant conversation, asked lots of questions ... and I'll be taking the bus after that from now on.

  21. Please - this is SERIOUS on Skin-Tight Bodysuits Could Protect Astronauts From Bone Loss · · Score: 1

    I mean, my GOD! Is this the best "scientists" can come up with? Is there no LONG TERM thinking anymore?
    The effect of prolongued space travel (e.g., Mars and back) and the use of this new space suite will be that astronaughts WILL keep more of their bone mass HOWEVER, the Karenni people have taught us that clothing that pulls your shoulders down has a drastic side effect - long necks ...

    Oh wait ... that's why the aliens in Close Encounter look that way. Never mind - press on.

  22. Mt Everest 3G Photo Challenge on Mount Everest Gets 3G Service · · Score: 2, Funny

    First person to climb to the top, take a picture of their junk, and post it on Facebook using the 3G access wins!

  23. Never been to Hollywood? on 1928 Time Traveler Caught On Film? · · Score: 1

    The dude with the crown and cell-phone made out of Coke cans is *obviously* talking to someone.

  24. Quantum Computing Help Desk on Quantum Computing Explained! (Well, Sorta) · · Score: 1

    ....
    [Phone recording] You reached the secure communications quantum cryptography help desk. We detected that you pressed "Reset my password". This option requires a transfer to teh 8th dimension. We are now connecting you to Lord John Whorfin ...

    [Lord John Whorfin] May I pass along my congratulations for your great interdimensional breakthrough. I am sure, in the miserable annals of the Earth, you will be duly enshrined. How may I help you?
