    Yeah, but I need a mammoth tusk now, for a chick in Winterhold.

  2. Re:Now.. on Intel's Haswell Chips Pushing Windows RT Into Oblivion · · Score: 1

    Macs can currently boot just about any Intel based OS.

  3. Re:Unpowered exoskeletons? on Wanted: Special-Ops Battle Suit With Cooling, Computers, Radios, and Sensors · · Score: 1

    I could lock my armor knees and it would hold me upright. Helped in those interminably long bridge battles.

  4. Re:Size does matter. on Surface Pro 2 and Surface 2: Now With New Kickstand! · · Score: 3, Funny

    Ah, you mean the Pear Pad.

  5. Re:Sounds Dangerous on Nuclear Trashmen Profit From Unprecedented US Reactor Shutdowns · · Score: 1

    Um... Who does extremely dangerous work today? The gov't? Who makes and manufactures almost all nuclear materials in the U.S. and designs safety processes and equipment?

  6. Re:Oh yes, store the waste on Nuclear Trashmen Profit From Unprecedented US Reactor Shutdowns · · Score: 1

    Whew! Thought for a moment you were going to bring up quasi-futuristic asymmetrical clothing design.

  7. Re:Very little utility here on NSA-resistant Android App 'Burns' Sensitive Messages · · Score: 1

    So much for updating the decor of my secret volcano lair. I dont want my arch nemesis stealing my interior designer's plans. Guess we'll just paint the walls beige.

  8. Re:No Mention on HDMI 2.0 Officially Announced · · Score: 2

    I'm the age where declining eye site trumps more pixels. No upgrade for me!

  9. Re:The developers are gonna melt, too - or get bli on Building Melts Car · · Score: 1

    *golf clap*

  10. Re:Who says? on CoreText Font Rendering Bug Leads To iOS, OS X Exploit · · Score: 2, Funny

    Exactly! Apple's never been a big enough target or had enough users to make anyone want to hack them. As for those Apple (l)oosers? Just think how boring their lives have been for all these decades, not getting the real experience of using computers but stuck just playing quietly with their toys. Stoopid loosers!

  11. Re:conversion on Mini-Brains Grown In the Lab · · Score: 1

    A metric barn or Whitworth barn?

  12. Re:Who is John Dvorak? on Break Microsoft Up · · Score: 1

    "Apple is beleaguered!"

  13. Re:point of fact: Mac runs FOSS, iOS is the garden on Break Microsoft Up · · Score: 1

    Yeh, but Apple only has 5% market share so it's not as big a target. I more people used iOS, hackers would be all over it!

  15. Re:NBD, it seems on Solar Eruption To Reach Earth Soon · · Score: 1

    The sun's name is Ned?

  16. Re:OP or tune it ee on How Companies Are Preparing For the IT Workforce Exodus · · Score: 1

    Management says they want to fire 90% of their employees (what's the inverse of decimate; 1/decimate?). My boss would like to cut payroll by 90% as well but he ain't. Yet.

  17. Re:In the next 12 months... on Ballmer To Retire · · Score: 2

    *golf clap*

  18. Re:Sugar on What's Causing the Rise In Obesity? Everything. · · Score: 1

    Thinking about it, except for royalty/1% types, most of humanity has had exposure to only small amounts of natural sugars (honey and fruits) up until the 1500's when sugar beet and sugar cane production increased. It's only the last 500 years that a large percentage of people have had easy access to all the various sugars. Just my supposition but I'm thinking our bodies aren't really evolved for it.

  19. Re:Uh huh on The Steady Decline of Unix · · Score: 4, Funny

    Gnubfap is my next band name.

  20. Re:wireless basic needs on Hacking Lightbulbs To Cause a Sustained Blackout · · Score: 1

    Just illustrated Edgar Rice Burroughs books off course!

  22. Re:Maybe Microsoft just needs more time on Acer Pulls Back From Windows To Focus On Android and Chromebook · · Score: 1

    I was thinking of the original iPod line. That's been subsumed by the iPhone/iPod touch line. Same for iBooks by mac airs.

  23. Re:Not a haiku, not syllables on NASA To Send Poems To Mars · · Score: 3, Insightful
