  1. They aren't available yet?? on Space Jackets Down to Earth · · Score: 1

    But I thought these were starship uniforms! (Especially these radioactive ones!) I was so robbed!

  2. Re:I'm betting it is herpes on Jupiter Gets New Red Spot · · Score: 1

    Sorry, I missed that episode. I hear that there's a few different out-take versions.

  3. Re:Now all that's missing on Skype 5-way Calling Limit Cracked · · Score: 1

    True. True. Hey Intel, Wassup!

  4. Re:Thunderdome on Researchers Make Gasoline From Cow Dung · · Score: 1

    Mind you, in Thunderdome, it was pig poop--just the thing to fill up gas-hogs like Hummers. (Vehicles powered by pigoline wouldn't be real popular in extremist Muslim countries, that's for sure.)

  5. Re:I'm betting it is herpes on Jupiter Gets New Red Spot · · Score: 1
    And difficult since Jupiter cut off Saturn's thingy and tossed it into the sea. (Where it procreated Venus, who married Vulcan...)

    Tune in next week to Survivor: Olympus and see who gets voted off the pantheon.

  6. What's wrong with a naked drive? on Replacing the Housing on Your Flash Drive? · · Score: 2, Funny

    You could keep all your pr0n on it!

  7. Why didn't he use some kind of missile? on Man Builds 60-foot Tower to Get Highspeed Access · · Score: 2, Funny

    Man: Well I've always said, There's nothing an agnostic can't do if he really doesn't know whether he believes in anything or not.

  8. That's nice for them on French MPs Consider P2P Downloads Again · · Score: 2, Funny
    I'm glad to see that French MPs are considering P2P downloads again, but what about the rest of the people in France?

    BTW, which P2P software do the MPs prefer?

  9. Re:Was Edison right? on Was Thomas Edison Right about DC Power? · · Score: 1

    Maybe we should call the act of saving someone's life with a defibrilator "being Westinghoused"? :)

  10. Re:Uhh... on Was Thomas Edison Right about DC Power? · · Score: 1

    Two wrong posts don't make a right. Edison only said AC was dangerous because he wanted to spread FUD with the public that rivil AC was inherently more dangerous than DC. He even tried to turn Westinghouse into a word meaning "to be electrocuted" and pushed for the first use of an alternating current electric chair.

  11. Re:Was Edison right? on Was Thomas Edison Right about DC Power? · · Score: 2, Insightful
    It was a proprietary patent pissing match too. Edison went with the system that he controlled the patents on, and didn't really care about the technical merits of each system.

    Just think, if he'd settled with Tesla back then, today they could be sending people to be killed on the Edison Chair.

  12. It used to work in the old days on Microsoft Claims Worlds Best Search Engine Soon · · Score: 1
    It used to be that if you were a company with a product that did "x", Microsoft could derail your business plan and disrupt your company merely by announcing that they were about to do "x" as well. They didn't have to ever ship a product that did "x", just announce that the elephant was moving in.

    I'm sure that Google is currently in a state of panic...

  13. Re:gah - brain fart! on The Financial Future of Space Travel · · Score: 1

    Oh! I thought you were talking about the Olympics.

  14. Re:iCamera... on NASA to Start Helping Detectives · · Score: 1

    What, you've never heard of the eyePod?

  15. The street will find its own uses for technology on NASA to Start Helping Detectives · · Score: 1

    Speaking of which, how long before someone breaks one by sitting on it and trying to scan their butt?

  16. Re:close to first post??? :) on Kids Build Soybean Fueled Sports Car · · Score: 1

    Soybeans? No way. I'll stick to my rice-rocket, thanks.

  17. Many people? on Minnesota GOP's CD Raises Privacy Concerns · · Score: 1

    Or one person with software to flood them with cooked data. Maybe they were smart enough to check for loads of connections from one IP address, but that's what lists of open proxies are for, right? ("According to our results, lots of people in Korea agree with us, mainly in the 65-85 demographic.")

  18. Re:Me too! on College Student Receives Email of the Lost · · Score: 1

    Do you mean that they didn't come with half a page of boilerplate text at the bottom saying that if you weren't the intended recipient that you had to destroy all copies and submit to a brain-scrub?

  19. Open access? on Corporate Software Development Wiki? · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    After all, you don't want to do a release build before noticing that someone from 212.138.47.24 dropped in a "THIS CODE IS G4Y!!1!" comment in the wrong place just before you started.

  20. Re:I wanna know what happened to on Samsung Steals the Brain Behind the iPod · · Score: 1

    Are Samsung and Kawasaki connected? If so, here's your Z-1. I think I can see why the user interface needed some work for playing MP3s.

  21. Re:I wanna know what happened to on Samsung Steals the Brain Behind the iPod · · Score: 2, Funny

    The Z stands for Zathras. And Zathras, Zathras, Zathras and Zathras aren't as good as Zathrus at playing music. Zathras is the best at that, except for Zathras. Zathras used to being beast of burden. Zathras have sad life, probably have sad death, but at least there is symmetry.

  22. Re:Bets on who will win?! on SCO Denied Again In Court · · Score: 1
    because by the time it gets settled, I would have enough to retire!

    Dude! By the time this case is over, it will be time to retire.

  23. Clippy predicted on What is Microsoft's Origami Project? · · Score: 1

    This and Bill figured that it meant Oracle or Borland would go under, so he said okay.

  24. Different two words on NASA Detects Nearby Mystery Explosion · · Score: 1

    Stargate (okay, maybe one word). The event lasted about 33 minutes. Maybe someone used a gatebuster on it to close it before the 38 minutes were up?

  25. Re:Human upgrades, here we come! on Enzyme Computer Could Live Inside You · · Score: 1
