  1. Re:Teh on Names That Break Computers (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Early Microsoft Word spellcheckers almost always converted Clinton into Klingon (the word, not the language).

    Perhaps they knew something we didn't.

  2. Re:Amen to that on Uber Seeking To Buy Self-Driving Cars (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    ... the doped up Cretans...

    What's with all the racism against people from Crete?

  3. Re:Human nature on The Inevitable Death of the Internet Troll · · Score: 2

    The internet usage of the term 'troll' derives not from the mythical Scandinavian beast but from a fishing term - to 'troll' is to drag a baited line behind a slowly moving boat. A troll typically inserts an off-topic, extraneous or inflammatory message or comment into an online forum and sits back and watches the suckers bite. The 'trolls' making the news at the moment are more accurately described as 'wankers.'

  4. Re:Hmm... on Why China Is Worried About Japan's Plutonium Stocks · · Score: 1

    Back in those days, the Nazi's weren't as concerned with grammar.

    I see what you did there =8^)

  5. Re:"Safety Requirements"? on California Regulators Tell Ride-Shares No Airport Runs · · Score: 4, Funny

    As Michael Flanders once said, "It's actually been calculated it is safer to fly than it is to cross the road. Mind you, I gave that up years ago where I live, in Kensington near the air terminal. They have these airline buses whizzing about, you know. I think the drivers have instructions to keep the statistics favourable!"

    I cannae change the laws of physics! I've got to have thirty minutes!

  7. Re:Yuck. on America 'Has Become a War Zone' · · Score: 4, Funny

    Sheriff Gayer?

    Well, fuck, that explains it!

    The other sheriff quoted in the article is Sheriff Cox. With names like those, they probably need heavy weaponry to suppress the local mockery.

  8. Oblig. on Open Source Robot OS Finds Niches From Farms To Space · · Score: 1

    I for one welcome our robotic space-lettuce-farming overlords.

  9. Re:Not surprising. on Thai Police: We'll Get You For Online Social Media Criticism · · Score: 1

    Don't think that Thailand is unique. It could happen in your country too if you don't take action to prevent it.

  10. Follow-up projects on Ear Grown From Van Gogh DNA On Display · · Score: 1

    So as a follow-up to this success, what other missing body parts will they be growing? Jerry Garcia's middle finger? Heather Mills' leg? Rick Allen's left arm? George W Bush's brain?

  11. Re:High labor cost in US, why ? on Google To Close Its American Moto X Factory · · Score: 1

    Every American is entitled to own a house with three bathrooms and drive five cars.

    Well, you can't have that, but if you're an American citizen you are entitled to: a heated kidney-shaped pool, a microwave oven (don't watch the food cook!), a Dyna-Gym (I'll personally demonstrate it in the privacy of your own home), a king-size Titanic unsinkable Molly Brown waterbed with polybendum, a foolproof plan and an airtight alibi, real simulated Indian jewelry, a Gucci shoe tree, a year's supply of antibiotics, a personally autographed picture of Randy Mantooth and Bob Dylan's new unlisted phone number, a beautifully restored 3rd Reich swizzle stick, Rosemary's baby, a dream date in kneepads with Paul Williams, a new Matador, a new mastodon, a Maverick, a Mustang, a Montego, a Mercury Montclair, a Mark IV, a meteor, a Mercedes, an MG, or a Malibu, a Mort Moriarty, a Maserati, a Mack truck, a Mazda, a new Monza, or a moped, a Winnebago--Hell, a herd of Winnebago's we're giving 'em away, or how about a McCulloch chainsaw, a Las Vegas wedding, a Mexican divorce, a solid gold Kama Sutra coffee pot, or a baby's arm holding an apple?

    I have a large collection of interesting shots of my life now.

    Yeah, I love all the shots of traffic and your rabbit's bedding. Priceless memories there.

    Now, if the rabbit had a pancake on its head...

  15. Re:Hajrá Magyarország! on Rubik's Cube: 40 Years Old and Never Meant To Be a Toy · · Score: 4, Funny

    No, it means "My hovercraft is full of eels"

  16. Scoring on Study: Earthlings Not Ready For Alien Encounters, Yet · · Score: 1

    The main reason we are not ready to meet aliens is that a large proportion of our population would shoot them, just to see how many points they got.

  17. Re:well on Actual Results of Crimean Secession Vote Leaked · · Score: 1

    Russian intelligence operatives along with Spetnaz Russian special forces out of uniform are occupying Ukrainian government offices. They are doing so with the assistance of several prominent Ukrainian oligarchs that backed and supported Yankovitch.

    Weird Al is behind this? Now it's beginning to make sense.

  18. Re:well on Actual Results of Crimean Secession Vote Leaked · · Score: 1

    Indeed; they also know that the only way to ensure that Russia sells their oil to Europe would be to start a land war in Asia, and as we all should well know, you never want to be involved in a land war in Asia.

  20. Re: At that speed? on SanDisk Announces 4TB SSD, Plans For 8TB Next Year · · Score: 1

    My friend has terabytes of it, no lie. He just has it downloading from file sharing software in the background 24/7. Doesn't even watch most of it. Just has it "just in case he gets horny and has no internet"

    For those eventualities, I recommend he tries an alternative device called a "girlfriend".

  21. He has the right experience on Bill Gates & Twitter Founders Put "Meatless" Meat To the Test · · Score: 1

    At least Bill Gates is the man with the right track record here. For decades he's been selling something that looks just like real software and millions of consumers have bought it and not been able to tell the difference.

    The lowly and common microwave oven is a by-product of war and the MIC.

    Call me a peace-loving commie hippy if you want, but I'd be willing to do without a microwave oven if we could just skip the war.
