  1. Re:Curious what the intended use is? on NYPD To Replace Motor Fleet With Electric Scooters · · Score: 1

    The horses are also great at making the bridge at the Bethesda statue stink of piss. I'm always amazed the food vendor sets up near there.

  2. Re:" Less than Green?" Say WHAT!? on NYPD To Replace Motor Fleet With Electric Scooters · · Score: 1

    Always attack the highest hanging fruit first?

    If you don't attack the highest hanging fruit first then it's behind you when you bend down to get the low hanging fruit.

  3. Re:Spam on IBM's Five Predictions for the Future · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't it be sad if all the appliances suddenly went wild?

    Red hot toaster ovens, blenders with the tops off, microwave ovens holding themselves wide open? Sign me up.

  4. Oh, Australia! on Australia Plans to Censor the Internet · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Yet again, Australia shows what a bunch of prudish old ladies it can be regarding the Internet. What a waste of effort.

    Face it guys, you're all descendants of criminals. We all know it and we're cool with it. Getting all harumphy and uptight now now isn't going to fool anyone.

  5. An even more annoying voice on Specs For the New KITT · · Score: 1

    Instead of William Daniels nagging "Michaeeeel" all through the show like a little bitch, the new voice will be Fran Drescher.

  6. Re:Bah, MI-5's been doing this for years on Army Buys Macs to Beef Up Security · · Score: 1

    Why not Linux?

    Because "Feisty Fawn" just doesn't sound military.

  7. Re:Paul Allen? on Official 700MHz Bidder List · · Score: 1

    Paul Allen has his own agenda

    Yeah, all Jimi Hendrix, on every frequency, all the time.

  8. Re:I can't wait for the Micheal Crichton thriller on Artificial Blood Vessels Grow On Nano-Template · · Score: 1

    a heroic surgeon who unearths the sinister truth behind a revolutionary new artificial blood vessel replacement technology, and after a long build up in which seemingly fully recovered trauma patients turn into super-powered...

    Consumers. Crichton novels always start with the premise of super amazing technology (virtual reality, resurrect dinosaurs, time travel) and use it into selling something mundane (CD-ROM readers, dinosaur theme parks, time travel theme parks). In this case it would probably allow people to become super powered so they'd join the mastermind's gym chain that's all set up with extra-heavy weights and really hard workout machines.

  9. Re:As every camper knows... on The Transistor's 60th Birthday · · Score: 4, Funny

    A nice, warm sleeping bag in a tent that you carried in your backpack is better than any hotel room.

    Right up until the next morning when you wish you had a hot shower and room service.

  10. Woz? on 30 Years of LucasFilm Staff Christmas Cards · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    1983?

  11. Re:That was no comet on Ice Age Beasts Blasted from Space · · Score: 1

    "Darn these claws! I hit the wrong switch again! Who designs these instrument panels, raccoons?!"

  12. Re:Hey! I remember that episode on Ice Age Beasts Blasted from Space · · Score: 1

    Yeah sounds like something the evil mirror universe would do.

    That and make your ass look really big.

  13. Re:Military Budget *isn't* the problem. on Boeing 12,000lb Chemical Laser Set to Fry Targets · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    We spend an amazing amount on education but efforts to improve it are thwarted by Teacher Union's,

    QED

  14. Re:What??? on 'w00t' Named 2007 Word of the Year · · Score: 0

    It's true! I'm running Fellatio Fox right now, but I'm going to update to Gonorrhea Gorilla this weekend!

  15. He's right on Jimmy Wales Says Students 'Should Use' Wikipedia · · Score: 1

    As much as I would love to slam Wales for being some pathetic wannabe who can't even finish a dissertation at such august institutions as Auburn University or the University of Alabama, what he says in the article is right. Wikipedia is suitable as a "stepping stone."

    If you want to find out about something, Wikipedia is about as good as asking your friend, who may or may not know what he's talking about. Whether you choose to verify this information and find out more is up to you.

  16. Re:They're called fanboys on The Cult of Kindle · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Is it, um, brown?

  17. Re:Monsanto... on The Arctic Doomsday Seed Vault · · Score: 1

    Though I'm a seed saver myself

    I so don't want to know about the tissues under your bed.

  18. Re:If You Give It Away... on Heavily Discounted Zune Outpacing iPod Sales · · Score: 1

    they will come.

    Even if they have to close their eyes and pretend it's an iPod to do so.

  19. No way! Get outta town! on Heavily Discounted Zune Outpacing iPod Sales · · Score: 2, Insightful

    People will buy ghetto versions of desirable objects if they become sufficiently cheap? My Coby CD player and I are shocked, shocked.

  20. Re:Hellish twin ... on New Results From Venus Express · · Score: 3, Funny

    I always wondered why Doom takes place on Mars. Venus would be so much more appropriate.

    Doubt it.
    Mars is the god of war.
    Venus is a vibrating razor for women.

  21. Re:Uh, fair use? on Creationists Violating Copyright · · Score: 1

    Check tha recent law suits of BusyBox authors

    Ah, you mean the authors that stole the name of a baby toy?

  22. Re:high and mighty on Japan to Start Fingerprinting Foreign Travelers · · Score: 1

    Phase 4 is when the novelty wears off. You suddenly realize that Asian porn doesn't do it for you any more and you need pictures with a blonde or a redhead with a big, fat ass. And breasts. Man, do you need breasts.

  23. John Holmes Comet Grows Bigger on Holmes Comet Coma Grows Bigger Than The Sun · · Score: 4, Funny

    The Holmes comet has a huge coma

    And it's headed straight for your black hole, bay-bee.

  24. Re:Anthro's Adjustable Laptop Cart on Lap Desks · · Score: 1

    It's extremely stable.

    The wheel locks keep it from moving around really well. The only problem is when I forget that I've locked them and wonder why it's not going anywhere when I want to move it.

  25. Anthro's Adjustable Laptop Cart on Lap Desks · · Score: 4, Informative

    It's not technically a lap desk, but I've been using one of these for a few years now.

    It's sturdy enough to hold a 19" CRT, keyboard, and mouse, adjusts easily, and has wheels so you can just roll it wherever you want. Yeah, it's expensive, but it's worth it.
