  1. Potentially Man-Made? Wut? on 2010 AL30, Asteroid Or Space Junk, To Pay a Close Visit · · Score: 1

    Is it possible that we just shot something 10 meters wide out of Earth orbit and forgot about it?

  2. Beep, Beep, Beeeeeeee on Surgeon Makes Tutorial DVD For Conscious Open-Heart Surgery · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Uh hey Doc, what's that sound mean? Am I gonna.....uuurgggh.

  3. Wait, I still have to move? on Control Your Apps Without Your Finger · · Score: 1

    I thought this was 2010. Where's my mind control? Fail.

  4. Is it too soon for a meat garden? on Scientists Create Artificial Meat · · Score: 1

    How long would it take to grow some ribeye's in my backyard? Do you have to water them daily?

  5. PETA likes it. on Scientists Create Artificial Meat · · Score: 1

    Therefore I am against it. Nothing but real dead animals on my plate will suffice.

  6. When I was an IT NCO in the military... on Should You Be Paid For Being On Call? · · Score: 1

    There was no question about being paid when you were on call because...it was the military. Then again, being on call was looked at basically as a punishment since it meant that you couldn't go anywhere that didn't have cell coverage, couldn't leave the immediate area, had to drop everything anytime some jackass couldn't get his VPN to work or forgot his password, etc. I've never taken a civilian job that required an on-call rotation, and I never will unless I'm paid accordingly. The notion of 'on-call' in IT has become something that companies take for granted because if you won't do it for free, they can hire someone else who will. The time has come, my brothers, for us to end this outrage!

  7. If I must. on University Is Looking For a Lap Dance Researcher · · Score: 1

    Are there any rules regarding the interviewing of multiple subjects at the same time? In a more private and quiet place of course, after studying their work habits for an indeterminate amount of time, naturally.

  8. Riot control in 140 characters or less. on Police Arrest Man For Refusing To Tweet · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Did they really expect everyone to suddenly chill out and go find something else to do because of a twitter post? I find this line of reasoning difficult to comprehend...then again they are cops.

  9. Well that's just great. on "2012" a Miscalculation; Actual Calendar Ends 2220 · · Score: 1

    So much for applying for tons of credit cards and not having to pay them off. I was planning to live out my last couple years like a King!

  10. It's really all the same anyway... on Is Cloud Computing the Hotel California of Tech? · · Score: 1

    All the same stupid jokes, surveys and hoaxes are posted endlessly on all social networks. They each hook into the same Zynga games to keep the masses entertained... eventually it will be discovered that all the back-end data is identical and each network is simply a different interface to Skynet. Sadly, by then it will be too late.
