  1. Re:I already solved the antenna problems on iOS Update May Tackle iPhone 4's Antenna Problems · · Score: 1

    I've lost a call twice on a 2 mile drive just the other day.

    Maybe they think you deserve that, for talking on your phone while driving.

  2. Re:One has to wonder on Porn Industry Ready To Drop Flash · · Score: 1

    They're for laptops, duh. For the pervert on the go!

  3. Re:No we don't. on Facebook Usage Hits 16 Billion Minutes a Day · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Well, I know a lot of non-geeks who often open up a browser window, go to Facebook (or some other sites), and when they go do something else leave the window and don't bother closing it. Eventually they forget about it and they end up having Facebook open for hours, or sometimes even days.

  4. Re:Not just women on Women Dropping Out of IT · · Score: 1

    By "aspy losers" do you refer to Asperger's syndrome?

    I think he means people who use ASP.

  5. Re:wtf? on IBM Distributes USB Malware At Security Conference · · Score: 1

    Or maybe it just means that you need to be there.

  6. Re:Very true on Israel Repeals iPad Ban · · Score: 1

    Exactly. Tablets (like the iPad) are generally meant to be used for different things than what I (and most people I know) use a full computer for.

  7. Tablet computer on Israel Repeals iPad Ban · · Score: 2, Funny

    Apple's iPad tablet computer

    I don't really consider the iPad to be much of a computer.

  8. Re:Very important first step on Where To Start In DIY Electronics? · · Score: 1

    Another lesson: Don't breathe the fumes. I have no idea if they are toxic or not, but whenever I inhale a lot of it, I get a bit of a headache. I may just be imagining it but it becomes harder to concentrate for the next few minutes.

    That and it smells bad too.

  9. Re:Very important first step on Where To Start In DIY Electronics? · · Score: 1

    Yeah, I don't see many with yellow handles. The one that I use (Weller) is this old one that is all cyan on the handle.

  10. Re:Call me evil but... on OpenTTD 1.0.0 Released · · Score: 1

    Wow, you are evil! I usually just put my tracks going across their road, and make a train stop right where it crosses the road. Their trucks can back up for miles!

  11. Re:Looks Good for Porn on iPad Jailbroken · · Score: 1

    iPad: For the pervert on the go!

  12. Re:Already permanent. on XKCD Deploys Command Line Interface · · Score: 1

    Now located at http://uni.xkcd.com/

  13. I knew it! on Fatty Foods May Cause Cocaine-Like Addiction · · Score: 1

    That episode of The Simpsons was right!

  14. Re:why would I care? on IE Not Faring Well In the EU Ballot · · Score: 5, Informative

    Because if you ever do web development, you are required to hate Internet Explorer.

  15. What would get a .xxx? on Final Decision Deferred On ".xxx" Domains · · Score: 1

    So would the .xxx domain go only to hardcore porn sites, or would it also include anything with nudity, including nude art? What about drawings of stick figures having sex? I would hate to have xkcd blocked by the government.

  16. Re:Clean porn ? No thanks ! on Final Decision Deferred On ".xxx" Domains · · Score: 1

    Nah, .cum sounds too close to .com

  17. Re:Way to stick it to the man! on Apple Loses Aussie Trademark Complaint Over "i" Name · · Score: 1

    You mean the way 'i' was used by Apple? If so, I guess I just learned something today.

  18. In schools on New Phone Allows Bosses To Snoop On Staff · · Score: 1

    Wait until they make one of these for schools to use to spy on kids in their homes...

  19. Re:They missed "why?" on Former TSA Analyst Charged With Computer Tampering · · Score: 1

    I think I'd rather know exactly how he did it.

  20. Huge on The World's First Commercially Available Jetpack · · Score: 1

    But it's freaking huge! I don't think I could even fit that through the door to my house.

  21. Re:Opera downloads tripled on Microsoft Giving Rival Browsers a Lift · · Score: 1

    Seven, if you count the fact that I test my websites (for a max. of 1 minute) in Opera!

  22. Just a thought on Microsoft Giving Rival Browsers a Lift · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Just a thought, how many people would use Internet Explorer if it didn't come with Windows? (And assuming that they have some way to get it, through some other browser)

  23. Re:Finally! on 8-Core Intel Nehalem-EX To Launch This Month · · Score: 0, Redundant

    But can it run Linux?

  24. Almost like an ad at first... on Major ISPs Help Fund BitTorrent User Tracking Research · · Score: 2, Interesting

    for as little as $13/mo

    My eyes somehow jumped to that part first. At first, looks kinda like an ad, doesn't it?

    Monitor Pirate Bay torrents TODAY, for only $13/month!

  25. Re:Some people will click anything... on New "Spear Phishing" Attacks Target IT Admins · · Score: 1

    Some people will click anything... including admins.

    People click admins? (sorry for the horrible joke)
