  1. Muppets. on Samsung Ups Ante In Smartphone Size Wars: 6.3 Inches · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Still happy using my Sony Xperia Mini precisely because it's so tiny (88mm by 52mm) I'd love to replace it with something newer/more powerful but it seems nobody is making anything even near this size anymore. I don't even want a 4" screen, let alone these monsters...

  2. The Goat Man on Stranded California Man Too 'Embarrassed' To Use Phone · · Score: -1, Redundant

    There was an old Welshman who was walking with his grandson. Presently, they came upon a wall.

    “Ye see that wall, there?”
    “Yes.”
    “I built it, I did. I built it with my own two hands. I built twenty others just like it. But do they call me the Hugh the Wall Man? No."

    They continued walking on their way...

    “Ye see that barn, there?”
    “Yes.”
    “I built it, I did. I built it with my own two hands. I built thirty others just like it. But do they call me the Hugh the Barn Builder? No."

    They continued their walk until they came upon a house...

    “Ye see that house, there?”
    “Yes.”
    “I built it, I did. I built it with my own two hands. I built fifty others just like it. But do they call me the Hush the House Man? No."

  12. Re:Disproportionality on Cyberwar on NASA Websites · · Score: 1

    Regardless of the fact that most Lebanese civilians don't have a station wagon in which to pack up their belongings and ship-out, Israel has been bombing the shit out of pretty much anything that moves in the area for the past two weeks, whilst simitaniously destoying as much of the road infrastructure as it can making it pretty hard to just "leave the area" as you so helpfully suggest.
