  1. from the article.. on Your Washer is Calling and the Dryer is on IM · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Of course, these Laundry Time partners are serious companies not in the habit of flushing R&D dollars down the drain.
     
    ..Its called marketing. Put a hare-brained idea out there and get people writing articles mentioning your company name.

  2. great! on Headset Uses Bone-Conduction Technology · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Instead, it uses bone-conduction technology to convert the vibrations from your jaw into sound, making it perfect for ballgames, concerts and any other noisy public place you like to hold your private conversations.

    Wonderful! We needed more ways for people to hold their private conversations at ballgames, concerts, theaters, etc..

    I wonder if you have to keep the volume turned down to keep the vibration from shaking your teeth loose.

  3. Thats just wrong. on Techie Fight Clubs Springing Up · · Score: 1

    Is this what it looks like when geeks fight?

    Face Masks! Pool Cues! Knee Sniffing!

    ugh.

  4. yes, but.. on Privacy Threat in New RFID Travel Cards? · · Score: 4, Funny

    ..think of how this will protect your FREEDOM! and LIBERTY!

  5. Re:Yarrrrrrrr! on MySQL Team Wins Golden Penguin Bowl · · Score: 1

    Yes, but at least ninja's take pride in their personal appearance and hygiene.

    Unlike pirates, geeks & nerds.

  6. Geeks vs. Nerds on MySQL Team Wins Golden Penguin Bowl · · Score: 2, Funny

    Geeks vs. Nerds.. Can't we all just get along?

    apparently not when there's a golden penguin at stake.

  7. Re:How is it fast compared to a human? on Two Legged Robot Sets Speed Record · · Score: 4, Funny

    How many leg-length per second can the "average" human achieve?
     
    A lot less than this thing once its perfected and turned into a meat-powered robot.

    What the hell are thoses scientists up to? Why don't we just go ahead and program them to bat us around a bit before they eat us?
     
      Sheeesh.

  8. nonsense.. on Increased Bandwidth Irrelevant? · · Score: 5, Funny

    What possible reason could he have for downplaying a competitors speed advantage?

    Along the same lines:

    a '86 dodge omni is just as good as a brand new ferrari
    rubbing alchohol is just as good as a bottle of wine
    pressing hard on your eyeballs is just as good as going out to a movie

    Just think of how much money you can save with this line of reasoning!
     
    ..good luck getting dates though.

  9. Re:And??? on The Man Who Said No to Wal-Mart · · Score: 2, Funny

    ..and they all lived happily ever after.

  10. News Flash! on New Tech to Help Prevent Hearing Loss? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It's called a volume control - sometimes in the form of a knob, sometime a button.. This is going to revolutionize the industry!

  11. LCD privacy! on Inside a TFT Monitor · · Score: 5, Interesting

    If you peel the polarizing filter out of a LCD display and make sunglasses out of it, you'll have a display that no one can see without wearing the 'magic glasses'.

  12. Re:I should have gone into advertising... on Microsoft Goes Head-to-Head With IBM · · Score: 4, Funny

    ..er, no - thats Billion! (with a B)

    But yes, with your keen eye to detail you should have gone into advertising. Not so much an emphasis on things like 'facts' in that industry.

  13. Award shows are bunk. on The Videogame Oscars · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Crash was a mediocre movie at best, but they spent almost as much promoting the film for oscar as they spent to make the film. check it out

    So why would a video game awards show be any different? And how would a 'serious' awards show for games improve your gaming experience?

    It wouldn't.

    Like films, you're more likely to find quality entertainment via reccomendations from friends that share your interests. Awards shows are just another promotional oppourtunity, and will always benefit the highest bidders.

  14. Re:Great... on Tree Climbing Robot · · Score: 5, Funny

    ...now where am I gonna hide when the robots attack...

    In a cavernous underground layer of course! Don't you watch movies?

    You don't really have to worry anyways, they dont want to hurt you they just want to use you as a power source.

  15. Um... on Combating Identity Theft · · Score: 4, Informative

    Can't they just use 'whois'?

  16. Yes, but... on Digital People: From Bionic Humans to Androids · · Score: 5, Funny

    Do they dream of electric sheep?

  17. Re:How about instead of.... on Maturing Net Grows More Slowly · · Score: 1

    P2P is used for stealing stuff. Plain and simple.

    I know! My buddies and me stole a truck the other night on P2P! A brand new Chevy Avalanche! Its F-ing' awesome!.
    Hooray for broadband! I'm going to fire up napster and steal a sandwich now!

  18. Are you kidding? on Intel Reveals Next-Gen CPUs · · Score: 4, Funny

    We now have batteries powered by urine!

    Who hasn't wanted to pee on their new laptop? Marks your territory and provides hours of power!

    what else could you want?

  19. Re:forget space on Requiem for the Once-Imagined Future · · Score: 1

    You want to talk about the short commings of the predicted future then forget space where is my ROCKET CAR!

    Here it is

    I must say the future is really disappointing!

  20. Re:Ways to use that extra space: on High-End, High-Capacity SATA-150 Roundup · · Score: 1

    How does one back up that much data?

    Print it all out and store it in 3-ring binders, we wouldn't want to deprive future generations of our ASCII pr0n.

    Of course you'll need space to keep the binders - I suggest Nevada, they have lots of open space and not too much rain. Rain is the natural enemy of ASCII pr0n printouts.

  21. Ways to use that extra space: on High-End, High-Capacity SATA-150 Roundup · · Score: 2, Funny

    Get several of these!

    -make a personal backup of archive.org
    -Store digital photos of every square inch of your neighborhood.
    -ASCII pr0n. lots and lots of ASCII pr0n.

    "300 GB ought to be enough for anybody"

  22. Re:Is this really a problem? on Genetic Discrimination in the IT Workplace · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I leave my credit card number all over the place when I buy things, does that mean that the number doesn't 'belong' to me anymore?

    Unless we live life in a bubble we don't have much choice about leaving genetic material laying around, but that doesn't mean its ethical to test such material without consent.

  23. simple.. on Infosec Career Hacking · · Score: 0

    just show 'em how you set up a 'leet ftp site with 0-day warez on Paris Hiltons sidekick. That'll get you the job no problem.

    And once you're in you'll be able to afford your very own sidekick!

    awesome!

  24. Uh-huh. on EU Proposing to Make P2P Piracy A Criminal Offense · · Score: 1

    Riiiiight.

    Cause something like this would never be pushed by a the freedom-loving government of the USA..
    only in socialist europe would they try to push through silly laws to protect the profits of huge media conglomerates.

  25. Yeah, but... on Slashback: Randomness, Donations, Ramp · · Score: 2, Interesting

    ..Wouldn't it be appropriate to keep pluto's status as a planet, but a planet of a few other planets?
     
    -after all, pluto the dog is the pet dog of a mouse, sometimes a duck and occasionally another dog..
