  1. Re:What if he had simply thrown it in the trash? on College Student Finds GPS On Car, FBI Retrieves It · · Score: 1

    Throwing in the trash would have been a perfect thing to do. The device probably would survice the trash cart compactor, an then the FBI dude's boss would have them trawling through shit in a landfill for their 'valuable' device!

  2. Re:Why didn't somebody tell us? on There Is No Plan B, the Ugly Transition To IPv6 · · Score: 1

    Well at least we're not running out of oil.

  4. Re:You morons don't unstand how Super SATA works on Calling Shenanigans On Super SATA's Claimed Audio Qualities · · Score: 1

    No, now clearly the 0's cannot be improved on, because there's nothing there.

    But the 1's, man, they are straigtened up, have the font edges sharpened and finally french polished prior to being sent to the speakers. THAT is the difference, and THAT is worth far more than the cost, in my book.

    She's easy.

  6. Re:A fool and his money... on Calling Shenanigans On Super SATA's Claimed Audio Qualities · · Score: 1

    I'm a #2.

    I love to screw hookers and have an unquestioning set of people hang on my every word.

  7. Re:You can destroy, but not preserve on Why Recordings From World War I Aren't Public Domain · · Score: 1

    If you have the ONLY copy, how can anyone else claim copyright?

  8. Re:Stay Retired. on How Can an Old-School Coder Regain His Chops? · · Score: 1

    Absolutely right.

    Sometimes you just go to know when to throw in the towel.

    A man should always know his limitations.

    Ah, reading this as chewing out your girlfriends' Vietnamese friend - great mind-visual...

  10. Re:Asperger's on Obama Won't Intervene Over British Hacker McKinnon · · Score: 1

    I guess his crime was more akin to premarital phone sex...

  11. Re:More Cores, More Power on 4 Cores? 6 Cores? Do You Care? · · Score: 1

    You don't have enough hands for that. :)

  12. Re:4 million kilograms on NASA Revamps Historic 4-Million-kg Mars Antenna · · Score: 2, Funny

    4 million kilograms; why can't we just use metric as it was intended?

    4 Gigagrams.

    4 nano hellagrams

    Follow the gourd!

  14. Re:To promote the USEFUL arts on What the Mobile Patent Fight Is All About · · Score: 1

    That's why no one has bothered to invent a transporter.

    The patent royalties to the Roddenberry estate would bankrupt them!
     

  15. Re:I miss those booms on Shuttle Reentry Over the Continental US · · Score: 1

    Yes, I saw it land once at Edwards. We drove 3 hours just to see it. A big anticlimax, but I am still glad I did it.

  16. Re:Chiropractor fixed my long-standing back proble on British Chiropractors Drop Case Against Simon Singh · · Score: 1

    And you could have got a happy ending.

    Not really a win though. You let their lawyers win - they go after their fees...

    Just love the name. Now I can shout out WHERE'S MY 'KIN PHONE?

  19. Re:They'll pay on PS3 Owner Refunded For Missing "Other OS" · · Score: 1

    Class action suits are not for consumers. They are for lawyers.

  20. Re:BUB on Largest Sodium Sulfur Battery Powers a Texas Town · · Score: 1

    I worked in an aluminum plant once, where they melted the stuff out of rocks with current. Just 4-5V across each crucible, but 400,000A in the circuit. I was told in the safety meeting it would not be a good iead to get in the circuit.

    I didn't try it.

  21. "About 159.8M"? on Toshiba To Test Sub-25nm NAND Flash · · Score: 1

    4SF is pretty accurate for an 'about'. Why not 'About $160M".

  22. Re:Timeline on What Is Time? One Researcher Shares His Exploration · · Score: 1

    People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but *actually* from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint - it's more like a big ball of wibbly wobbly... time-y wimey... stuff.

  23. Re:Step 1. on Health Insurance When Leaving the Corporate World? · · Score: 1

    Most countries have double taxation agreements to prevent this being an issue.

    You are so kind!

  25. Re:Can I join the war against the term "pre owned" on Sony Joins the Offensive Against Pre-Owned Games · · Score: 1

    You should join the bigger war against the misuse of the prefix pre-.

    Pre-owned should mean 'before it's been owned'

    How many times do you see stuff like 'pre-sliced' on bagels, bread etc. to mean ready sliced, a pre-lit xmas tree which already has lights on it.

    Pre means before. Like on the front of fix.
