  1. Sharks, in space... on Bush Reveals New Space Policy · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    ...with nuc-u-lar powered lasers stuck to their heads!

  2. Re:MySpace is now mostly older men because... on Different Social Networks Are... Different · · Score: 1

    Maybe it's because musicians pay attention to their ears and don't notice the visual atrocities that is MySpace?

  3. Re:Lousy parent! on Teens Don't Buy Legit MP3s Because They Can't? · · Score: 1

    I have 2 cases of Paulaner Oktoberfezt Marzen (not sure on the all z's and metal dot placement in the name) but that's my beer. And Miller High Life is a mild beer, and it's not too bad, for a mass market American beer. Besides, will likely have some older family members at the party and, unfortunately, most of them think Bud is something to be glad about. Sigh.

    That reminds me, my daughter's 6th birthday party is tomorrow and I need to pick up a case of beer. Kids like Miller, right?

    But are they happy cows? Did they vote for that guy who came to mars and had his eyes bug out?

  6. Re:Methane's short half life is a good thing.. on A New Angle on Martian Methane · · Score: 1

    I was thinking of a way to maintain positive pressure around the various holes humans seem to carry around with their heads. I guess it would be easier to drive a space scooter if you could actually use optical receptors that aren't just registering Froolak's last meal.

    Hubba, hubba! Check out the decay curves on that isotope! Wowzers!

    "Hey Froolak, I have an EVA to do. Mind if I stick my head up your ass?"

    Um...I think I'll wait for body mods so that I don't require constant breathing in space.

  11. Re:Flamebait on US Population to Top 300 Million · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It's not just undocumented immigration to the U.S. that keeps population increasing. All immigration is what keeps population going up. Most studies figure Mexican immigration is only about 1/3 of total immigration to the U.S.

    Now, if there was just some way to keep the Anglos from moving down to the south-west, where my family have lived, since the early 1600's...

  12. Re:Flamebait on US Population to Top 300 Million · · Score: 1

    Neat double-entendre use of the word "taco" in an article mentioning burgeoning overpopulation in the US.

    Because 'eating tacos' creates new people? Wah?

  13. Re:Their website is near-useless... on UK's Biggest Supermarket Challenges Microsoft · · Score: 1

    "Every trifle helps" sounds better to me. But, you are correct. Little is a noun. A very naughty noun, in my mind. It deserves a stern wag of the finger!

  14. Re:Their website is near-useless... on UK's Biggest Supermarket Challenges Microsoft · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Every little bit helps. Sentences need a subject and a verb. This one pisses me off almost as much as Apple's "Think Different". Different is an adverb! It modifies Think and therefore, should be differently!

    Gah!

    Aaaaaaaaaugh!

    Khaaaaaaaan!

    Went out to the pre-launch site. What the hell does "Every Little Helps" mean? Every Little what? What helps?!!! Damn Firefox for being English insensitive.

  21. Re:No consequences means no responsibility. on Census Bureau Loses Hundreds of Laptops · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Bingo! All I want to do is sit in my cube, take my calls, keep up with email and alerts and then go home. I don't want to escort the uncleared so they can sit on their ass 6 times a day and suck on a cig, I don't want to wander half-way across campus to hit the good snack machine or over priced grill and I sure as hell don't want some mouth breather hanging around my cube talking about millionaires playing with a ball. So yeah, I'm the unpleasant asshole that no one likes, who dresses weird (messy long hair, scraggly beard, Ornery Boy shirt (in a button down only shirt office)) and always beat everyone else's stats by 30%-50% every month. Feh.

  22. Re:Spyware Thursday on Zero-Day Team Launches with Emergency IE Patch · · Score: 1

    Here at work, we're stuck with IE due to the fact that a lot of the web apps we use are IE 6/MS JVM only. Until the CTO wants to address this, fecking web programmers will keep turning out these shit sites. We look at the help desk stats and almost half the calls are IE related. The rest are mostly Outlook freak outs. Truely the Budweiser of software.

    Oh well, at least on the Mac side, Firefox is the approved browser here. Windows users hate it when we tell them that yes, Firefox is supported, if you use a Mac, however we cannot support it if you use it on Windows.

  23. Re:The webcomic #3. on MIT on Comics and Micropayments · · Score: 1

    Yeah, I gave up on Sluggy Freelance and Clan of the Cats, about year ago, due to low updates. Sucks for them, 'cause comics aren't easy to do but then you have Schlock Mercenary and Irregular Web Comics updating everyday for years.
