  1. You say Gates did nothing wrong? I beg to differ. That PBS documentary he did a few years ago where he went to Africa was a criminal offense. He still hasn't brought to justice for that patronizing bunch of crap.

  2. Re:Plan B. on Stolen iPad's Reported Location Not Enough To Warrant Search, Say Dutch Police · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Many Americans seem to think that all Dutch people are white Dutch people, all French people are white French people etc. and that somehow the U.S. invented immigration and multi racial society (just like they invented everything else). There seems little point in trying to disabuse them of their ignorance.

  3. Re:First Post! on VisiCalc's Dan Bricklin On the Tablet Revolution · · Score: 1

    ha, ha! I read that as 'oh bitter, bitter onions..."

  4. Re:Hagfish on Jawless Creature Had the World's Sharpest Teeth · · Score: 1

    Fascinating. Thanks for that link.

  5. Re:Caffeine-free coffee on Scientists Work Towards Naturally Caffeine-Free Coffee · · Score: 2

    I drink coffee mainly for the taste. But you don't know me so you are still correct.

  6. Re:In the spirit of Pi on 10 Ways To Celebrate Pi Day · · Score: 1

    Will you have a bevy of beverages with your bevy of Pi Pies?

  7. Re:No surprise on White House CIO Describes His 'Worst Day' Ever · · Score: 1

    That might go some way to explain the rampant stupidity in the area.

  8. Re:Possible High "Parental Factor" on Details of Initial "Disc to Digital" Program Emerge · · Score: 1

    Sounds like you may as well just use bit torrent.

  9. Ugh on TVShack Creator's US Extradition Approved · · Score: 2, Interesting

    This really is shameful to say the least. When I heard about this kid months ago I thought, no way, the extradition won't happen. His life has already been turned upsidedown but surely common sense will prevail - but when? I was very wrong obviously. If the intention is to make an example of this guy, exactly what message does it really send? To me, all this really says is that those misguided persons whose job is to enforce copyright have lost all sense of proportion and basic human decency. Bastards.

  10. Re:Cost is not everything on Cheap Solar Panels Made With An Ion Cannon · · Score: 2

    Thanks for that illuminating insight. Please go along with the nurse now to your ward.

    or music!

  12. Re:So... on Ruling Prohibits Kaleidescape From Selling, Supporting Movie Servers · · Score: 1

    That strikes me a pretty close to obsolete. Are they really still selling those things?

  13. Re:The Obsession with Leonardo on Evidence of Lost Da Vinci Fresco Behind Florentine Wall · · Score: 2

    You really don't know much about art, do you?

  14. Re:The Obsession with Leonardo on Evidence of Lost Da Vinci Fresco Behind Florentine Wall · · Score: 1

    Gross over-simplification. No idea how this is supposed to be insightful.

  15. Re:How is this news for nerds? on Evidence of Lost Da Vinci Fresco Behind Florentine Wall · · Score: 1

    The fact that anyone would ask this is truly astonishing. How stupid can you be?

  16. Re:The whole thing is a scam ! on Evidence of Lost Da Vinci Fresco Behind Florentine Wall · · Score: 1

    No, tempera is made with egg yolk.

  17. Re:Man whose job relies on the scientific method.. on Lawsuit Claims NASA Specialist Was Fired Over Intelligent Design Belief · · Score: 1

    Well said. But this is /. There will be mockery and lashings of it. My personal (not very mature) instinct is to mock people's religion, but I am conditioned to not do so to their faces. They are in the majority after all and more likely to violently defend their cockeyed beliefs than I am to defend my atheism. So while I mock religion with my atheist friends perhaps religious people and their deluded friends are mocking atheists! So no meaningful dialogue ever takes place!

  20. Re:Did he find his stolen lightsaber? on Profile of a Real-Life Jedi Academy · · Score: 2

    Funny that. I was accused of stealing someone's lightsaber last halloween. I swear, it wasn't me that time either!

  21. Re:Why not just have sex? on Profile of a Real-Life Jedi Academy · · Score: 1

    And exactly how does pantyism come into this?

  22. Re:Why not just have sex? on Profile of a Real-Life Jedi Academy · · Score: 1

    Yes, and Juche would appear to be a political ideology, not a religion.

  23. Re:I don't really agree with Ben here. on Did Benjamin Franklin Invent Daylight Saving Time? · · Score: 1

    I agree. I spent the Winter months doing just that somewhere in western Europe. It sucked.
