  1. Bomb threats on Scientology On Trial In Belgium · · Score: 1

    Scientology is very big on making bomb threats. Mind you, they make the bomb threats in other people's names. They made bomb threats on behalf of Paulette Cooper (see Operation Freakout) where they got her finger prints on a piece of paper, added the threat then mailed it. It continues to this day, where they put up a YouTube video claiming to be from Anonymous and making bomb threats. (They really goofed on that one. They made a DVD on black PR on Anonymous. On the DVD, they had a copy of the fake video, but it was in higher resolution than the one upload to YouTube. Gee, where could they have gotten that hi-res copy?)

  2. Re:Certified Microsoft Professional on Programming Prodigy Arfa Karim Passes Away At 16 · · Score: 1

    I would have been programming at nine, but first I had to locate a teletype connected by modem to Dartmouth Time-Sharing System. Oh, and I had to wait for them to get BASIC reasonably stable.

  3. Re:I called it on Can Relativity Explain Faster Than Light Particles? · · Score: 1

    Santa Claus can even be at two places at the same time!

    That would violate clausality.

  4. SST on Experimental "Smart Town" To Be Built In Japan · · Score: 1

    Super Sonic Transport? Sorry, I have TLA overload syndrome.

  5. Re:Aren't we getting ahead of ourselves? on Project Icarus: the Gas Mines of Uranus · · Score: 1

    And assuming that we get that fusion power to work, wouldn't the Moon be a good place for the fuel source to get a fusion-powered interplanetary mining expedition to Uranus in the first place?

  6. Re:shame game on Sony Officially Blames Anonymous For PSN Hack · · Score: 1

    It was probably a PHB vulnerability. Those are the worst to fix.

  7. Re:shame game on Sony Officially Blames Anonymous For PSN Hack · · Score: 1

    I found a text file on my computer that says that Sony is a bunch of giant douche bags. It must be true!

  8. Re:Majorus Cokhup on HBGary Federal CEO Aaron Barr Steps Down · · Score: 2

    Considering where his head is located, I'm amazed that he could get his foot in there too.

  9. Re:I don't think they care on Anonymous Goes After GodHatesFags.com · · Score: 1

    Worse, I doubt anonymous cares about Fred Phelps. heh

    There's a suspicion that the WeBoBaps created that "Anonymous" announcement themselves as part of their attention-whoring. If so, the inbred weasels are now getting heavy traffic to their site from places like Slashdot and Fark, and it seems to be down. Call it a Ground Level Streisand Foot-Cannon?

  10. Re:Best snag a copy of that now on Paul Haggis vs. the Church of Scientology · · Score: 1

    It would quite a fight since the New Yorker has the toughest fact-checkers in the business. However, it's unlikely to happen. While Scientology makes legal threats, huffs, puffs and throws poo, they haven't actually sued a publisher in quite a few years, and there have been countless critical articles and books since then, especially in the last three years.

  11. Re:Groklaw on Paul Allen Amends Lawsuit Against Facebook, Apple · · Score: 1

    I have a pocket watch hanging beside my monitor to "present information to the user in a non-distracting way from the user's primary interaction." Once Allen has finished with the biggies, he'll eventually work his way down to me. I've been doing that since 1992 or so. Bring it!

  12. Is it pitchforks and torches time? on Facebook To Own the Word "Face" · · Score: 1

    Let's storm the castle and kill this monster!

    ...oohhh, shiny!

  13. Obviously Poul-Henning Kamp never used an ASR-33 on Mr. Pike, Tear Down This ASCII Wall! · · Score: 1

    OR HE MIGHT HAVE NOTICED THE LACK OF A CHUNK OF THE ASCII TABLE. (No, it's not like yelling, it's like an ASR-33 you insensitive clod! *sigh*)

  14. Re:OK, I'll bite. on 1928 Time Traveler Caught On Film? · · Score: 1

    "Can you hear me NOW?"

  15. Re:Mandelbrot Set on Benoit Mandelbrot Dies At 85 · · Score: 1

    Mandelbrot, truly a t-shirt icon!

  16. Re:Stating the obvious... on Facebook To Add Remote Logout · · Score: 1

    What happens when you change the email address and then request a password change?

  17. Oh hai people! on iPhone vs. Android Battle Goes To Afghanistan · · Score: 1

    I was thinking of finally buying a cell phone. Any recommendations?

  18. Re:just like installing a trojan on your computer! on Android Rootkit Is Just a Phone Call Away · · Score: 3, Interesting

    (If they can rootkit my Milestone down past the locked loader, I want to know how! [Yeah, of course I got an Android phone, it was .. destiny.])

    Odds are there are far more stupid "smartphone" users than PC/Mac ones.

    Want to tap virgin pools of stupidity? There's an app for it!

  19. Re:Copy/Paste mathematics paper on Grigory Perelman and the Poincare Conjecture · · Score: 2, Funny

    I'm expecting email from some lawyer telling me that Mr. ANDROIDCAT is the closest living relative of Grigory Perelman and that I can collect it as soon as I forward some banking details...

  20. Re:There's an app for that on Robbery Suspect Cleared By Facebook Alibi · · Score: 1

    It's not a Droid, it's a Milestone.

    wtf? Motorola too cheep to pay Lucus Films licensing of the world-wide rights for that questionable trademark?

    But does Google Android support the Three Laws?

  21. I smell profit! on "Mandelbulb," a 3D Mandlebrot Construct, Discovered · · Score: 1

    Time to buy stock in some select t-shirt companies!

  22. Re:There's an app for that on Robbery Suspect Cleared By Facebook Alibi · · Score: 5, Funny

    Wave phone in officer's face. "These aren't the Droids you are looking for."

  23. Re:No Locked Hardware! on Keeping Pacemakers Safe From Hackers · · Score: 1

    I should have a right to install the update.

    You can, you just have to jailbreak your iHeart first, no biggie. (Watch out for the new worm going 'round.)

  24. Re:Solution on Recovering the Slums of the Internet? · · Score: 2, Funny

    And never try to use any domain that has doubleclick as part of the name. Only a fool or someone intent on evil would do that.

  25. Replacing a 1970s system on Computer Failure Causes Gridlock In MD County · · Score: 1

    The county's chief traffic engineer, Emil Wolanin, said replacing the 1970s-vintage system would not be easy.

    And will the replacement system be Y2K safe?
