  1. Re:No wonder on 5.8 Earthquake Hits East Coast of the US · · Score: 1

    It was shaken, not shtirred.

  2. Re:Felt it here in DC on 5.8 Earthquake Hits East Coast of the US · · Score: 1

    You probably just felt the one that was in Denver earlier ;)

  3. They can keep it! on Origins of Lager Found In Argentina · · Score: 1

    Ales & stouts for life! The harder it is to see through, the better it is!

  4. Felt in Toronto on 5.8 Earthquake Hits East Coast of the US · · Score: 1

    18th floor of an office building, a bunch of the people noticed it, and a whole lot didn't. Guess it depends on what you're doing. I blame my not noticing on being a guy and therefore a poor multitasker :D

  5. Re:Prayer Rallies Aren't Bad on After Rick Perry's Stem Cell Treatment, Misplaced Enthusiasm? · · Score: 1

    * Well, biologists. I went into computer science so I wouldn't have to deal with squishy biological things.

    Like women?

    *rimshot*

  6. Re:The article summary... on When Schools Are the Police · · Score: 1

    It took me 3 reads to understand that " I waiting for the Alamo Heights Special Airborne Brigade and SEAL TEAM CROCKETT." was NOT a run-on continuation of the quote about the 17 year old. Oy.

  7. Re:Rick Perry says... on World's Oldest Fossils Found On Australian Beach · · Score: 1

    Sulfur eating lifeforms are definitely from hell. Therefor the entrance to hell must be somewhere in Australia. Wouldn't that be a superb plot for a new Hollywood series?

    Buffy, the barbie slayer?

  8. Re:Remnants of some Aliens' lunch on World's Oldest Fossils Found On Australian Beach · · Score: 1

    That would explain the large orange goo in Alaska recently!

  9. Re:This is so cool. on Most People Have Never Heard of CTRL+F · · Score: 1

    Yes, stop caring how other people type.

  10. Re:Learn your AVC's on Most People Have Never Heard of CTRL+F · · Score: 1

    Current pet peeve: Chrome's URL bar. When copy/pasting a URL it automatically is formatted as 12 pt Verdana, in XP at least. Why isn't it plain text to start with?

  11. Re:Really? on Can Google Fix the Cable Box? · · Score: 1

    "Buffer the next channel" in which direction, up or down?

  12. TBO.com? on Accused Teen Bomber Finds FBI Surveillance Team's Wireless Network · · Score: 1

    Teen bomber online? We really do need better names for things.

  13. Re:Why aren't these things obselete? on How To Steal ATM PINs With a Thermal Camera · · Score: 1

    Is it just me, or does anyone else tire over stories of ATM skimming/tampering? I guess my main point here is who the hell still uses an ATM anymore?

    Yes, it's just you. Judging by the lines I see for the ATMs at the bank on the main floor of my office building, cash is far from dead. Just because YOU don't use it doesn't mean everyone else doesn't.

  14. Re:Easy to Avoid on How To Steal ATM PINs With a Thermal Camera · · Score: 1

    I dunno, it'd feel like I was cheating on my oven.

  15. Re:Wallet corner defense on How To Steal ATM PINs With a Thermal Camera · · Score: 1

    The what of my what?

    I have a touchscreen, you insensitive clod!

  16. Re:No social games? on Facebook Says That Google+ Has No Users · · Score: 1

    Similar question, I never got an answer for: why the fuck does Angry Birds for iPhone want my location data? It's not like I can play against someone else in the area.

  17. Re:keep alive on Fired Techie Created Virtual Chaos At Pharma Co. · · Score: 2

    Only if you're a moron. You may want to do that with your personal machines at home, but a company's equipment is not your playground for petty revenge fantasies.

  18. Re:Up is down, down is up, cats and dogs agree. on Microsoft Exec Responds To the Google-Motorola Deal · · Score: 1

    He did, but it was all open source lead paint.

  19. Ah, you see, Winslow... on Music Copyright War Looming · · Score: 1

    ...I'm under contract, too.

  20. Re:Only Safari?? on Browser Wars Redux: This Time It's the Apps · · Score: 2

    So go write some code on it. You don't have to report back.

  21. Re:What happened was this: on How Apple Is Beating Nintendo At Its Own Game · · Score: 1

    Last I checked, all 3D movies had 2D equivalents playing in the same multiplex. No one is being FORCED to watch a 3D movie.

  22. Re:Um... on Anonymous Vows To Destroy Facebook · · Score: 1

    It also got delayed from an actual November 5th release date to the next Spring, greatly diminishing its box office potential. You can advertise a movie for a few months then delay it for ~5 more and expect it be top of mind for the audience.

  23. Re:Here's a novel idea on Technology Blamed For Helping UK Rioters · · Score: 4, Funny

    Cool, so the chavs will shoot back. Problem solved!

  24. Re:I would have thought... on $1.5 Billion Star Trek Theme Park Coming To Jordan · · Score: 1

    I see you are wearing your red Security uniform desert style!

  25. Re:250,000? on What If Android Lost the Patent War? · · Score: 1

    Makes sense. What other job allows someone to gather enough wealth in a relatively short time to be able to even afford to run for office? And then go right back if they don't win, or get voted out a few years later?
