  1. From the video, it appears on Combined Hovercraft and Helicopter · · Score: 2, Funny

    that the military is only interested in surveillance of VERY LOUD PEOPLE. That thing shrieks...

  2. Re:Ask A Gay Man on YouTube Announces First Award Winners · · Score: 1

    I think that was Paul Moody's "Ask a black man" segment on Chappelle's show. No idea whether Paul's gay or straight. Damn funny, tho.

  3. Re:Read Cache is not the point! on Apple and LG plan Flash Laptops · · Score: 1

    I was under the impression that most of the energy costs of magnetic disk storage related to spinning the discs from a halt, not maintaining the rotation after the platters have reached the proper speed.

  4. Sorry, no. on IBM Targets UFOs, Ghosts, and Goblins With Search Tool · · Score: 1

    What you've identified are clearly "U OFs." There is at least one in every state.

  5. Too big for a pocket. on FlipStart to Replace Your Laptop? · · Score: 1

    Too small for writing/note-taking. Too expensive for a neat gizmo. I wonder, though, if it squirts...

  6. 'Upstanding college or University' on Academic Credentials and Wikiality · · Score: 1

    My degree is from Tulane, you insensitive clod!

  7. Re:Soccer Clubs on Consumer Revolt Spurred Via the Internet · · Score: 3, Funny

    My solution has been to refer to soccer as "unamerican football." Things are a bit different with handball, though. American-style handball is either "handball" or "racquetless racquetball," while team handball is now either "handsoccer" or "dry water polo."

  8. Re:BIGIT?? on Quantum Computer Demoed, Plays Sudoku · · Score: 1

    More accurate still would be QWIJIBO.

  9. Re:I, for one... on Space Potato Hits the Streets · · Score: 1

    Kent Brockman, or Dan Quayle? You decide. ;-)

  10. Re:not bright enough on Panasonic ToughBook Testing Facility Tour · · Score: 1

    "I've become quite spoiled. I wish I knew of a work-around to that."

    Holiday in Cambodia?

  11. Atlanta PD is way ahead of you... on RIAA Arrests Pro Artist for Making Mixtapes · · Score: 1
  12. Re:What if on Windows Home Server Details · · Score: 1

    GOSH! {/napoleondynamite} You don't *add* for redundancy. You *multiply* for redundancy. So a fully-redundant, failsafe configuration would still involve only zero drives...

  13. Re:IP Issues to Hit Action Figure Market on A 3D Printer On Every Desktop? · · Score: 1

    Yep. Mattel and Doc Johnson, both. ;-)

  14. Re:grievance committees on Study Says 2 In 5 Bosses Lie · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    nitpick:

    GERD = (n) gastro-esophageal reflux disease

    GIRD = (v) something you do to your loins before battle ;-)

  15. Re:Here are the top 10. on PC World's 20 Most Innovative Products of 2006 · · Score: 1

    New in Office super-post-XP-almost-vista-now-with-ribbons: dangling participle prevention. ;-)

    I hear that Office "Classic," not yet scheduled for release, will feature anti-pedantry protection.

  16. How's that saying go again? on Liquid Terror Charges Dropped · · Score: 3, Funny

    "Not all liquids are terrrorists, but all terrorists are liquids?" At least somewhere between 50 and 75 percent of them, anyway.

  17. Slipstreaming by any other name on DIY Service Pack For Windows 2000/XP/2003 · · Score: 1

    is still just slipstreaming - you don't need any special downloaded software for this.

  18. Re:he has it coming on TSA Now Investigating Boarding Pass Hacker · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I *so* wanted to mod this post "troll," but that is unfitting - your ideas are not meant to provoke, but to unprovoke, and breed grudging contentment with the sad status quo. So no troll moderation for you. Sadly, there is no "defeatist fucktard lemming" moderation available. That would be fitting.

  19. Re:Don't Thank "Enlightenment" on Richest 2% Own Half the World's Wealth · · Score: 1

    But one if that one guy is Chuck Norris?

  20. Re:Prepare on Get on the 'Gates for President' Bandwagon · · Score: 1

    "Let's forget open-source software for any public activities."

    C'mon - Billy won't specifically *deny* open-source vendors the opportunities. Nonetheless MS will be awarded all of the no-bid contracts to rebuild the next quagmire.

  21. Silly Cordath... on MPAA Goes After Home Entertainment Systems · · Score: 2, Funny

    You eat the *liver* with the fava beans and chianti. You sell the *kidneys* to the highest bidder, or the scariest Russian mobster.

  22. Re:How vacuous on The Death of the "Cell Phone" · · Score: 1

    But we geeks do love acronyms. I, for one, welcome your new C-MUD naming convention.

  23. So... on Drugs Eradicate the Need For Sleep · · Score: 2, Funny

    sleep is where I'm a maths genius half the time and a poet the other half?

  24. I wonder if only the hand tastes like bacon? on Robot Identifies Human Flesh As Bacon · · Score: 1

    I bet the tongue tastes like tongue.

  25. Re:Legislation, Corporations, and Censorship on Has Verizon Forfeited Common Carrier Status? · · Score: 1

    Out of curiosity, to what law are you referring in your Example A?
