  1. Re:Simple English Wikipedia on 'Reading Level' Filter Added To Google Search · · Score: 1

    ... I'd tend to agree that their search dealy is completely fucking broken.

    I'm pretty sure that's called alpha.

  2. Re:interesting on 'Pocket Airports' Would Link Neighborhoods By Air · · Score: 1

    Well we'll just have to fix that now won't we? But in all honesty, I'm kinda surprised that there's been no coordinated effort to change things on that front.

  3. Re:Seriously? on Survey Shows That Fox News Makes You Less Informed · · Score: 1

    No TV? How do you do that? What do you stare at when you come home in the evenings after work?

    In my case, the newspaper. Or slashdot. Or sometimes maybe season 5 of ST:TNG. No Cable != No TV. (Or other entertainment media.)

  4. Re:Figures... on CA's First Molten Salt Energy Plant Approved · · Score: 1

    A Cigar with odd proportions, judging by that picture.

  5. Re:Apple has the ultimate Flash sandbox on Chrome Throws Flash Into the Sandbox · · Score: 1

    Because odds are it'll get rated +5 Insightful?

  6. Re:These lessons have been applied on Learning From Gawker's Failure · · Score: 1

    Holy Run-On Sentence, Batman!

  7. Re:Question? on Designer Arrested Over Anonymous Press Release · · Score: 1

    I'm sorry, Mr. Ellison is on a boat right now. Would you like to be transferred to his voicemail?

  8. Re:Wow... on Hidden Backdoor Discovered On HP MSA2000 Arrays · · Score: 1

    What's so funny about Biggus Dickus?

  9. Re:Wow... on Hidden Backdoor Discovered On HP MSA2000 Arrays · · Score: 1

    I guess he's not Brian, either.

  10. Re:Here is the stat that really matters on Statistical Analysis of Terrorism · · Score: 1

    I'm pretty sure it has to do with increased rollover risk. I'd have to go do some research, as I haven't paid much attention, owing to not driving an SUV.

  11. Re:Duh on SatPhones — Why Can't They Make It Work? · · Score: 1

    I thought it meant having a slightly-larger-than-cellular-sized phone with a satellite wired to it like a balloon.

  12. Re:Why Can't They Make It Work? on SatPhones — Why Can't They Make It Work? · · Score: 1

    All we could manage was a cold cup of tea, without milk or sugar.

    Hah! You're the lucky ones! All we could manage was a concoction that was almost, but not quite, entirely unlike tea.

  13. Re:Why opt out? on Online Tracking Firms To Launch Opt-Out Program · · Score: 1

    If enough people were willing to pay to see shit eating, it would be a job faster than you can say 2coders1cup.

  14. Re:Anyone... on 'Anonymous' WikiLeaks Proponents Not So Anonymous · · Score: 1

    I found 'Hacktivista' to be more startling.

  15. Re:"Too fast to be true" on SHA-3 Finalist Candidates Known · · Score: 1

    You're right. It looks like it was written too quickly to be accurate.

  16. Re:The most successful trolls on Angles On Anonymous · · Score: 1

    I almost read that like "a healthy dose of virginity".

    Does it come in pill/capsule form?

  17. Re:The most successful trolls on Angles On Anonymous · · Score: 1

    Well paint me red and call me gullible, cause I actually fell for that.

  18. Re:They reconsidered on Oracle Asks Apache To Rethink Java Committee Exit · · Score: 1

    I was wondering if there wasn't an oblique reference to something Ellison did while sailing during a particular "time off". (This one time at yacht camp...)

  19. Re:No more sailing... on Iron-Eating Bug Is Gobbling Up the Titanic · · Score: 1

    Yes, Prime Minister.

  20. Re:Oracle is pure evil. on RIP, SunSolve · · Score: 1

    I believe the proper term is "Oracular Vision-Aid."

  21. Re:Bonus on US Trials Off Track Over Juror Internet Misconduct · · Score: 1

    One of the other jurors was a butcher who knew the different between a knife wound and a shrapnel tear.

    I'm kinda surprised that he wasn't thanked for his time and sent on his way during selection.

  22. Re:You forgot on OpenLeaks — 'A New WikiLeaks' · · Score: 1

    Or perhaps LimeLeaks, Leakster, or 4Leak?

  23. Re:Confiscations on US Trials Off Track Over Juror Internet Misconduct · · Score: 1

    In my experience, the people who bring laptops do so to be able to get work done over the break periods. (there may have been wifi available in the break room. I can't really recall as I mostly read during the breaks.).

  24. Re:Trolls on Scientists Discover Solar Powered Hornets · · Score: 1

    The trolls will license a cloud as a workaround.

  25. Re:hornet matrix on Scientists Discover Solar Powered Hornets · · Score: 1

    Imagine Microsoft purchasing that hornet cloud, and cross-breeding it with the Azure platform. Now what do we call it? Microsoft Emerald?
