  1. Re:It's a black hole! on Possible Dark Matter Signs At the Core · · Score: 1

    Fermi haze all in my brain
    Lately things just don't seem the same
    Actin' funny, but I don't know why
    'Scuse me while I kiss the sky

    Yeah, sounds like Dark Matter alright.

  2. Re:They forgot one on EFF Launches "Takedown Hall of Shame" · · Score: 1

    That was only after the kids decided to take over from the people who originally started it, me being one of the original.

    Yeah, pull the other one. "Originally started it" is a tall claim unless your name is really something like Nan McLean, Paulette Cooper, Jon Atack or a few others.

  3. It'll never work due to incompatable interfaces on Radio-Controlled Cyborg Beetles Become Reality · · Score: 1

    You just can't interface beetles into a low-power ZigBee mesh.

  6. Re:Scientology is a dangerous cult on Church of Scientology Proposes Net Censorship In Australia · · Score: 1

    As one of the people who placed those answers there for people to find, I'm getting a real kick out of this...

  7. Re:If You Can't Lead--Get Out Of the Way on Space Shuttle To Be Replaced By SpaceX For ISS Resupply · · Score: 1

    I explored Paris via Google Maps, but it's just not the same as being there.

    No, but it *is* about the same as looking at someone else's holiday photos.

    Copyvio if it includes the Eiffel Tower at night. Hopefully that's not a problem on space flights.

  8. Re:Reverse Engineered Microsoft DOS??? on Space Shuttle To Be Replaced By SpaceX For ISS Resupply · · Score: 1

    Well, not for long. Grown up hardware enthusiasts started throwing all kinds of stuff their S-100 bus. Microsystems Journal would be the mag of that day to check for the serious stuff. (I have a 8085 S-100. Three whole megahertz and 64k!)

  9. Re:About Fucking Time on Wikipedia Bans Church of Scientology · · Score: 1

    My brother in law is quite reasonable in his unreasonableness. He understands we disagree so we hardly touch the subject anymore, and he is open to discussion, but is NOT open to finding a middle ground. Any attempts to do so are seen with skepticism.

    Be warned that if it's a point of friction that comes up in his case with his auditor, you might be determined to be PTS (potential trouble source) to his advancement up the bridge (spiritual progress as it were) and he might be told to disconnect from you.

    As for the Space Opera stuff, if he ever does the Saint Hill Special Briefing Course to become one of the Dukes of the Auditor Elite, he'll find plenty of it. For example, the Between Lives Implants lecture with alien Invader Force bases on Mars and Venus with afterlife collection points and armored spaceships...

  10. Re:how is it cannibalism? on Were Neanderthals Devoured By Humans? · · Score: 1

    That's not cannibalism, that's Differently Appetited!

  11. Re:Gray was a professional inventor on The First Phone Call Was 133 Years Ago · · Score: 1

    It's just as well. How are you supposed to answer the phone when the gray rings?

  12. Re:Green on Space Based Solar Power Within a Decade? · · Score: 1

    Don't do anything! There might be unforeseen consequences!

    The name is Godwin. Mike Godwin.

    Good.

    /winds up for a kick

  15. Re:How much does it cost? on Personality Testing For Employment · · Score: 1

    And their 200 question "personality test". (With a secular floor-wax version for job-testing rather than the religious dessert-topping one.)

  16. Re:cool on Hacks Allowing Disabled Gamers To Play Guitar Hero · · Score: 1

    After they managed the difficult task to allow people without talent to play, the project for people without limbs was just a spin-off...

  17. Wait what on Why the Kill Switch Makes Sense For Android · · Score: 2, Funny

    I think that a kill switch for androids is a very bad idea and doesn't make sense for me.

  18. Re:"A mysterious underground group" on Hacker Admits To Scientology DDoS Attack · · Score: 1

    "a mysterious underground group"

    How scary! Sounds like puffery by law enforcement trying to justify spending so much time and money to track down one script-kiddy. Strange how they never get off their butts when it's Scientology that's doing the cyber-attacks.

    Here's a tip for the FBI and SS: you can find hundreds of these mysterious underground people peacefully picketing outside Scientology franchises at this very moment.

  20. Radioactivity on Dell Begins Selling Inspiron Mini 9 · · Score: 1

    How much do the mini-cards for WiFi and Bluetooth add? Integrated on the motherboard, they wouldn't add much cost, but I'll bet they charge a wee bit for the cards.

  21. Re:Bzzzzzt! on Telecom Rollouts Raise Ire Over Utility Boxes · · Score: 1

    Don't worry! It'll explode on the way down into tiny pieces.

  22. That old question on Inside Intel's Core i7 Processor, Nehalem · · Score: 2, Funny

    You have a nuclear submarine? Dang, I knew I should have paid more attention to those surplus sales!

  24. Re:I don't buy that we have a land shortage. on Solar Power From Home Curtains · · Score: 1

    Oh and I'm still bummed about the study the government is doing to make sure solar is environmentally friendly.

    Depending on the type of solar panel, there are a lot of nasty chemicals used in making them, and more still that have to be safely disposed of when it's time to replace the panel. Did you think that elves spun them out of moon-beams?
