  1. Re:When are they going... on NASA Delays Discovery's Final Launch To February · · Score: 1

    Spoken like someone who's never taken a vehicle past 100k. Just last week I rolled over 200k in my 15yr old mitchubishi. Those who cant afford new toys use what they have 'till it breaks.

  2. Bad and Good on NASA Delays Discovery's Final Launch To February · · Score: 1

    On the on hand, this sucks. On the other hand, its more time that I have to get enough money together to go see a launch in person.

  3. My... on Ransomware Making a Comeback · · Score: 2

    You sure have some nice data here. Would be a shame if something were to happen to it now wouldn't it?

  4. Rhymes with... on Is 'Quadroid' the New 'Wintel'? · · Score: 1

    Sounds more like an STD.

  5. Like Sim City on Aussie Government Competition To Predict Commute Times · · Score: 1

    They should use the SimCity traffic commute system. In my city my current commute time fluctuates from 0.5 to 30.

  6. You got... on Using Cinnamon In the Production of Nanoparticles · · Score: 5, Funny
    I can see it now...

    -- You got cinnamon on my gold!
    -- You got gold on my cinnamon!
    -- Woah, wtf is *that*!?

  7. Re:Reaction on Nook Color Rooted — Will B&N Embrace the Tablet? · · Score: 0, Redundant

    You are using that word ... it does not mean what you think it means.

  8. Re:First Impression on Apple's Game Center Shares Your Real Name · · Score: 1
    Course he did.

    I'm tempted to go to an ATT or Apple store and do the same thing. Then explain how their legalese word fuckery lost them a customer.

  9. Re:Two eyes are better than one on Combining Two Kinects To Make Better 3D Video · · Score: 1
    Think about it; the Kinect is given a job most of us would laugh out of town. Build a sophisticated camera capable of full 3-D input and peripheral pickup, using only water and jelly. Build an eye and ears.

    We don't know how to use jelly yet, so we settle with plastic and metal.

    Still a crazy task.

  10. So wont 3 Kinects make 3D video? on Combining Two Kinects To Make Better 3D Video · · Score: 1

    So wont 3 Kinects make 3D video?

  11. Defilade on US Army Unveils 'Revolutionary' $35,000 Rifle · · Score: 2, Informative
    defilade |defld; defld| Military

    noun
    the protection of a position, vehicle, or troops against enemy observation or gunfire.

  12. Game Studios on The 5-Year Console Cycle Is Dead · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Game studios and developers probably put some pressure too. Having to program for yet another console gets expensive and complicated. Instead of having to learn new hardware, they can continue expanding the tech behind the software.

  13. I'm not a slob! on Being Too Clean Can Make People Sick · · Score: 2, Funny

    I'm just being healthy.

  14. Re:Red Mars gene therapy on Aging Reversed In Mice · · Score: 1

    Now we just need a crazy Russian to put it all together into an injectable cure. Although to be honest, living in a worldwide Calcutta for 1000 years would *suck*.

  15. Re:Then the immortals ascended to the heavans on Aging Reversed In Mice · · Score: 1

    But, in order to get anywhere in space you have to go real fast, and then relativity comes into play.

  16. Time travel! on Cambridge Computer IDs World's Most Boring Day · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Now we know the first location we can safely visit once time travel is perfected.

  17. Re:Simple on Which Shipping Company Is Kindest To Your Packages? · · Score: 1

    Except all marking like that fall under the "special delivery" subset of rules, and that means extra handling fees.

  18. Re:They could have done this with an iPhone app on Which Shipping Company Is Kindest To Your Packages? · · Score: 1

    For temperature they just needed to include a few of the freeze-warning stickers that places like Uline sell. They have several stickers that permanently change color if they are exposed to certain temperatures.

  19. Re:Is the DHS going to take the Kuwait Times domai on Kuwait Not Banning DSLR Cameras After All · · Score: 1

    You're right. It's blatant counterfeiting of one of our biggest corporations. Faux Newz.

  20. Re:Journalists often are spies on Kuwait Not Banning DSLR Cameras After All · · Score: 3, Funny
    Yo dawg, I heard you like spying. So we put spies inside your spies, so they can spy you spying the spying spies.

    Oh, and 34" rims.

  21. Re:Taxpayers get shit on.. End black budgets on X-37B Secret Space Plane To Land Soon · · Score: 2, Informative
    True or false, your argument would be more moving if it wasn't full of conspiracy theory buzzwords.

    Personally, I blame the Vampirates.

  22. UK only? on UK Police To Get Major New Powers To Seize Domains · · Score: 1, Interesting

    I can't understand TFA. Does this give the registrar power to steal only .co.uk domains, or any TLD that's registered with them?

  23. Re:protecting from what? on British MP Calls For Pornography 'Opt-In' · · Score: 1
    A definition is in order.

    Playboy: not harmful porn
    Golden shower monthly: harmful porn

  24. Re:Here's a ground-breaking idea: on British MP Calls For Pornography 'Opt-In' · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Its not the penis itself that will cause mental trauma. However accidentally watching slutty nurse cut one up and eat it while beating off a horse, yeah, that will cause trauma... (on that note, fuck you internet)
    If anything I want to see legislation that just forces porn makers to label and/or tag all porn. That way not only can I avoid what I don't want to see, but I can find the stuff I do want to see. Its win/win for all.

  25. Damn owls on Chicago Using Coyotes To Fight Rodents · · Score: 2, Funny

    Finally, the city is taking the problem of Owls seriously.
