  1. Re:useful functionality, for those not in the know on Bittorrent To Replace Standard Downloads? · · Score: 1

    Sounds a bit complicated to me. Why not just download the file to replace the damaged one?

  2. Everyone IS doing it! on Bittorrent To Replace Standard Downloads? · · Score: 1

    Everyone IS doing it, they are just not admitting to it!

  3. Hardly News on 'The Laws Are Written By Lobbyists,' Says Google's Schmidt · · Score: 1

    This is hardly news, but I think it is a good thing to have someone as prominent as Schmidt come out and say it in bold terms. Does he mention anywhere that he has to shower 40 times a day to cleanse the stink of corruption from his sullied flesh? I didn't RTF(ing)A.

  4. Re:Not as Sharp on Google Releases New Image Format Called WebP · · Score: 1

    I see the opposite! Calibrate your monitor if you have not already done so. This makes a big difference.

  5. Re:It's almost as if on Senate Votes To Turn Down Volume On TV Commercials · · Score: 1

    Schumer is a whore. No need to say more on the subject.

  6. Re:This is impractical on Senate Votes To Turn Down Volume On TV Commercials · · Score: 1

    John Peel (RIP) was the exception of course.

  7. Viva los trombones! on Safety Commission To Rule On Safety of Rulers In Science Kits · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Paper clips are great toys/tools. Stop protecting the children from themselves and their inate curiosity and creativity.

  8. Re:RIM fart jokes in on RIM Doesn't Want 200 Fart Apps · · Score: 1

    you're quite a bit behind the curve. I was all a fired up to make some kind of peurile attempts at humour but I see that I have been beaten to it several times.

  9. Armed? on Study Finds the Perfect Ratio of Attractiveness · · Score: 1
    No thanks. I prefer if women are not all tooled up and ready to go on a killing spree.

    Seriously though, tall does not appeal to me (nor just very short) but in this 'study' it would appear that 'tall' is relative. The bit about long arms is a mystery to me. Long as in orang utan or long as in not short and stubby? Or something in between. We need pictures!

  10. Re:why do you think the builder is a maroon? (sic) on Las Vegas Hotel Vdara an Accidental Death Ray · · Score: 0

    I'm sure that should they read them, Maroons will resent your remarks. Morons on the other hand will probably not understand them.

  11. Re:Images on Las Vegas Hotel Vdara an Accidental Death Ray · · Score: 2, Informative

    Indeed. The embedded video had nothing to do with the story and made no mention whatsoever of the 'death ray' phenomenon supposedly exhibited by the hotel. And they didn't even have a NSFW tag anywhere. There I was waiting for something about the death ray hotel and all I got was a flood of images of drunken assholes jumping up and down in hotel pools. Crap story.

  12. Re:Post a warning? on Las Vegas Hotel Vdara an Accidental Death Ray · · Score: 1

    Depends on your definition of beauty.

  13. Re:Too much money to fix, thing outside the box on Las Vegas Hotel Vdara an Accidental Death Ray · · Score: 1

    Please, please don't let that thing out of the box...

  14. Stop the on Star Wars Films In 3D Due In 2012 · · Score: 1

    Madness!

  15. Re:What's with this app horsedookie? on UK's Two Biggest ISPs Rip Up Net Neutrality · · Score: 1

    FYI: ALL applications in OS X are .app regardless of size or function.

  16. What I get on Attack Targets LinkedIn Users With Fake Contact Requests · · Score: 1

    I get REAL contact requests from Linked In occasionally. What a pain!

  17. Seems to me like... on Microsoft Migrating Live Spaces Users To WordPress · · Score: 0

    Seems to me like the lion laying down with the lamb. Though I can imagine that once the live space people's blogs have been successfully migrated, Microsoft will have no more involvement. Support will be solely WordPress' responsibility. Unless I'm wrong of course!

  18. Tea? on Apple, Startup Go To Trial Over 'Pod' Trademark · · Score: 1

    Senna pod tea, anyone?

  19. Re:The Law on Apple, Startup Go To Trial Over 'Pod' Trademark · · Score: 1

    Exactly what I was thinking. Jeez, I always mix up the ipod and the pod, like which one does what? SOOOOOO confusing. Line 6 should sue Apple. So many guitarists have mistakenly bought the ipod and then burst into tears of frustration upon relaizing that it just isn't compatible with a quarter inch jack.

  20. Easily explained on Methane Survey Reveals Mars Is Far From 'Dead' · · Score: 1

    It's the subterranean Martian buffalo flatulance.

  21. Re:Someone with experience instead? on United Nations Names Ambassador To Aliens · · Score: 1

    good look finding them on those two!

  22. Re:No he won't on United Nations Names Ambassador To Aliens · · Score: 2, Funny

    He meant to say a penguin in the attic. Makes much more sense, wouldn't you agree? A simple spelling error.

  23. Re:Women can land any man they want on AMD Offers Women Geek Dating Advice · · Score: 1

    I thought that too. Then I met my wife!

  24. 5 years on E-Books Are Only 6% of Printed Book Sales · · Score: 1

    Negroponte is talking rubbish. No more printed books in five years? Very unlikely. Yes, there will be fewer one color books around but I can't see the demise of full color illustrated books any time soon.

  25. Re:Beats snorkling air from a toilet... on In Case of Emergency, Please Remove Your Bra · · Score: 1

    I think it is just a stupid idea. No need to explain!
