  1. America on Maine to Launch Internet Sex-Offender Registry · · Score: 1

    The land where criminals stay criminals, and everybody helps them not become normal citizens again.

  2. The 7 rule is actually good on Web 'Rules' Changing? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I use it as a rule of thumb all the time.

    The thing you need to think about though, especially on the web, is this:

    It's not about having only 7 links on a page. It's about grouping. You can group links using colors, a box, a header or just placement.

    The reason site maps are useless on most sites is because if you have a web site with a good gui, it is actually mentally cheaper to click a few times and wait for pages to load, than be overwhelmed by hundreds of links at the same time.

  3. If Microsoft built cars.. on If Microsoft Built Cars... · · Score: 4, Funny

    Competing with Microsoft woulbe so hard that other companies would start offering open-engine cars for free!

  4. So what is it actually mapping? on Latest Maps of the Internet · · Score: 1

    It just says we mapped the internet on the page.

    Where are the details?

  5. Arrrgggh on Internationalized Domain Names Coming Soon · · Score: 2, Funny
    The intent is not for some human to be able to read it, but for all humans.

    Ohhh the arrogance of americans.

    Here's an example of why this is good. In sweden there is a town called Horby. That's 'o' with two dots over it. Their site has to be named 'horby' as it is now (without the dots). Horby means 'the village of whores' in swedish.

    Do you think that billions of people who use other alphabets than the american one, are going to agree with anything you said in your post?

    This change IS a big deal, not only for small towns, but for loads of big companies, government websites and all kinds of sites you can think of.

  6. Is that enough? on Intel To Produce 65-Nanometer Chips In 2005 · · Score: 3, Insightful

    50%, hmm.

    doesn't Moore's law require 100% increase every 18 months? Yeah I know Moore's law isn't really about speed, but still.

  7. So it's TRUE? on iPod-Jacked · · Score: 1

    Headphones were invented by Apple...?? WOW! Steve Jobs is even better than Al Gore

  8. "Africa's state-run utility giant" on Uranium Pebbles May Light the Way · · Score: 1

    Yes, because we all know Africa is just one big country.

  9. Americans and flying cars on Technological Flights Of Fancy That Fizzled · · Score: 1, Troll

    What's up with americans and flying cars? You all seem so obsessed...damn motorist society. Always with the oil and the flying cars. I'd rather have a time machine, an item cloner or a teleportation device than a flying car.

  10. Thanks on Replace Your Music....Again · · Score: 1

    Now all the comments I read come with farnsworths voice. :(

  11. Parent modded +3 insightful on Nintendo To Launch New Machine Next Year? · · Score: 1

    Please mods, if you can't chew bubble-gum and walk at the same time, don't go near the moderation system.

  12. Wow! on Segway-Based Robot Opens Doors · · Score: 1

    Did you watch the movie?

    It can push an already open door open, by putting a metal stick on the door and extending it.

    What if the door is closed?

    And what's the thing with MIT and these kinds of fakey "news"?

  13. Re:On contacts? on Better Displays With New Nanowire Film · · Score: 1

    And the receiver would have to be really small.

    I call bullshit on this one.

  14. Ahhhh on Killing Cancer With a Virus · · Score: 1

    Nothing like a warm cup of coffee and some pics of a young blonde with external cancer.

  15. Re:Let em guess she was American ? on Scamming Spammer Hooks the Wrong Person · · Score: 1
    "go crawl back into the whole you came from"???

    It's hole, you moran!

  16. Just Fascists on China Sends First Taikonaut To Space · · Score: 1

    Omg, it's a fascist state so it's ok? Jesus H. Christ in a Chicken Basket, you are severely lacking in the brain department!

  17. Gas on Largest Hubble Mosaics Ever Assembled · · Score: 1

    I'm wondering, what's the brown stuff? Is that gas? That's a whole lotta gas..

  18. Don't buy it on The Perl Cookbook, 2nd Edition · · Score: 1

    I've worked as a Perl programmer for several years, and the only book I've ever needed is "PERL - from the ground up" by Michael McMillan.

    It has among others a very handy reference to Perl's built-in functions, lots of regexp stuff and more.

    For everything else there is www.

  19. Re:An expanding universe on Universe Shaped Like A Soccer Ball? · · Score: 1

    But wouldn't it have to expand infinitely fast, to create an infinite universe?

  20. Ig Nobel? on Ig Nobel Awards 2003 · · Score: 1

    This isn't the real Nobel prize is it?

    I don't think there is a nobel prize in psychology and stuff like that..

  21. I hate Xen on Xen High-Performance x86 Virtualization Released · · Score: 1

    It was all good until you came to Xen, I mean those levels just sucked..

  22. Plenty of countries have this on India Blocks Yahoo Groups Over Political Content · · Score: 1

    Plenty countries have freedom of speech in their constitution, Sweden where I live for one. And were quite proud of it too, just as much as you are with yours. Not that any americans would ever know. :)

    Germany and their nazi problem seem to be an area in Europe where freedom of speech is not guaranteed though.

    It's somewhat sickening constantly hearing americans patting themselves on the back and claiming their best, "the best hope for humanity" and so on when they know so little of other countries and their systems.

    A country with a flaw != America is the best system.

    Try to remember that.

    Have fun modding this.

  23. LOLLERSKATES on Build Your Own Segway · · Score: 1

    I wish I had mod points.. :)

  24. Very interesting on Paper Capable Of Playing Videos Developed · · Score: 1

    ..but what's the resolution of this?

  25. Re:BAH! on Principal Photography on Star Wars III Complete · · Score: 3, Funny

    Episode 6: 1 jedi, 3 ghosts.

    I've never understood the balance crap
