  1. Re:Who cares? on Bloggers or High Schoolers, Where is the Literary Talent? · · Score: 1

    "I can write better than anyone who can write faster, and I can write faster than anyone who can write better."

  2. Based on a Graphic Novel? on KDE on the NBC Show "Heroes" · · Score: 1

    I think the show is based on a graphic novel by the same name. (if not, it sure is inspired by it.) Mutants start to realize what they are, and the normal population has trouble coming to terms with them. All this before the mutants become "superheros."

  3. OTS on NASA Testing Linux-Based Exploration Robots · · Score: 5, Funny
    Off the shelf parts are prolly fine for the Arizona desert. For two years of hard radiation bombardment then two plus years of -100 C and a constant coating of fine dust - not so much. Linux, on the other hand, thanks to its GPL code should have no problem in space. Just
    insmod hard-rad-i386-0.16
    and then
    modprobe cryo-chillin-i386-0.9
    and it should be fine. Also, don't forget to update crontab with
    10 4 1 * * /root/scripts/dustoff.sh >> /dev/null 2>&1
  4. Let Me Be... on IBM to Buy ISS for $1.3 Billion · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    Let me be one of the first thousand to say, "Why would IBM buy the International Space Station?"

    In Soviet Russia, Space Station buys you!

    All your space station are belong to IBM!

    (Whatever happened to Natalie Portman? I hardly ever see her around here any more.)

  5. Boas-Vindas on Google Brazil Pressured to Give Up Names · · Score: 3, Funny

    I, para um, dão boas-vindas a nossos overlords novos de Brazillian.

  6. FBI Too Busy on The FBI Software Upgrade That Wasn't · · Score: 3, Funny

    What do you expect? They don't have time or resources for testing because all the agents are too busy listening in on my calls to my grandmother.

  7. Of Course It Is on Judge Rules NSA Wiretapping Unconstitutional · · Score: 1

    Of course it's unconstitutional. This is akin to the judge ruling that the sky is blue and grass is green and water is wet.

  8. Ha! on Obesity Contagious? · · Score: 3, Funny

    The University of Wisconsin-Madison researcher who did the study is named Professor Creosote.

  9. Professor Baron-Cohen on Scientific Brain Linked to Autism · · Score: 1

    Professor Baron-Cohen, when asked for comment, just flapped his arms and ran around in a circle.

  10. Act Now! on BellSouth Will Charge Providers For Performance · · Score: 2, Informative

    Don't wait, tell them what you think about this: Contact BellSouth Internet Services.

  11. Don't Worry on 'The IT Crowd' UK Sit-com · · Score: 5, Funny

    If past performance is any indication, it should be spot on. Father Ted was the most accurate depiction to date of the priest's life.

  12. Galaxy?! on New Galactic Neighbor · · Score: 2, Funny

    And it's headed this way!!!!!!!

  13. Re:On the first day.. on Humans First Arose in Asia? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    "There is not enough love and goodness in the world for us to be permitted to give any of it away to imaginary things."
    -- Nietzsche

  14. Hot Tech Skills for 2006 on NSA Caught With The Cookies · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Security and encryption - to protect us from our own government.

  15. Batteries on New Consortium to Push UDI and Include DRM · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The people-as-batteries scenario in The Matrix was just an accurate metaphor for what the "content industry" would like us all to become. Plugged up with inputs they alone control, we provide only the juice to keep the diabolical system going.

  16. Puke on Analog Hole Legislation Formally Introduced · · Score: -1, Redundant

    I think I'll go puke now. Then I'm going to run for office.

  17. Quick on Bush Backed Spying On Americans · · Score: 2, Funny

    Someone give Bush a blow job so we can impeach him!

  18. Guaranteed Traffic on Search Engine Marketing Kit · · Score: 0

    Pictures of naked women guarantee more traffic.

  19. Sounds Like BSA Estimate on IPv6 Transition to Cost US $75 Billion? · · Score: 4, Funny

    Who did that estimate? The BSA?

  20. Restaurant Ratings on Would You Like Some Fries With That Download? · · Score: 5, Funny

    Once you hit 300 kgs you get the entire movie? This could provide a new way to rate restaurants: Frames per calorie.

  21. Basically on Cameras Online? How The Shysters Work · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Basically, never buy a digital camera online.

  22. Fonts on Wikipedia Hoax Author Confesses · · Score: 1

    It was the fonts used that gave it away. You see, that particular font was not widely available on PC-104 keyboards at the time. Thus, either the article had to have been written on one of only a few special keyboards, which was unlikely; or the article was in fact a forgery. QED: the article was a forgery.

  23. Google Overlords on Google Users more Wealthy, Net Savvy · · Score: 1

    "I for one welcome our new rich, net savvy Google overlords."

    Wait, if you think about it that could be uncomfortably close to reality.

  24. Permission on After-hours Fun with Capacitors at Work? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    "It is better to ask forgiveness than permission."

    Be sure and post links to videos of the resulting explosions.

  25. Shocking Statement of the Obvious! on Most Home PC Users Lack Security · · Score: 0, Troll

    Other findings include: Sky is blue. Water is wet.
