  1. helpful clarification on World's Creepiest iPhone App Pulled After Outcry · · Score: 5, Funny

    A " girl " is like "your mom", but younger and not genetically related to you.

  2. MULTIVAC also would be an acceptable answer on Flying Car Makes Successful Maiden Flight · · Score: 1

    Now all someone has to do is invent drivers who aren't complete morons and we'll be in business!

    skynet, err, google is working on that

  3. Re:Poor Nations on Climate Change To Drive Weather Disasters, Say UN Experts · · Score: 1

    threatening all countries, but small island states, poor nations and arid regions

    So what, has mother nature turned greedy? "Mommy only loves you if your GDP is soooooo big".
    However, people saying that the storm cares if the GDP is so much just gives these guys [Climate Change Deniers] more credit...

    Are you naturally dense , or do you have to practice at it?

    Simply means that if you can't afford to build with bricks, you use straw -- with obvious consequences.

  4. insurers have recognized the facts on Climate Change To Drive Weather Disasters, Say UN Experts · · Score: 1

    We've moved the start of tornado season to January.

    Enjoy, red states!

  5. finally, von Neumann complete! on After 60 Years, Tape Reinserts Itself · · Score: 1

    Does it really have to actually be an infinite tape?!!
    What if it's just long enough that it would take the machine the whole lifetime of the universe to read the whole thing?!!

  6. I'm not sayin' it was aliens but... on Jeff Bezos To Retrieve Apollo 11 Rocket Engines · · Score: 1

    Jeff Bezos is searching to salvage the Apollo 11 first stage just like Howard Hughs was mining manganese nodules with the Glomar Explorer. In other words, this is just a cover story for some C I A escapade.

  7. Re:... and nobody is surprised. on GAO Sting Finds More Fake Military Parts From China · · Score: 0

    Sung to "We are the world"...

    Way to betray your age there gramps. That song is older than 40% of /. . It's been 27 years. And Africa's still starving.

  8. Re:DNA is large on Particle-Wave Duality Demonstrated With Largest Molecules Yet · · Score: 1

    The quantum evolution folks claim that such an experiment has successfully been done. But then, they're regarded as a bunch of cranks.

  9. Re:Not really mummified on Inside the Mummification of Space Shuttle Discovery · · Score: 1

    What's the deal with having no launch capability? Is it good or is it whack?

    Outsourcing.
    So that would be "whack".

  10. Re:What would survive. on Record-Setting 100+ T Magnetic Field Achieved At Los Alamos · · Score: 2

    This would make an excellent </Mr. Burns> death-ray if it did rip all the blood from someone else's body.

    There ain't no SI unit named after Edison. beeeotch!

  12. Re:But now... on Facebook: Legal Action Against Employers Asking For Your Password · · Score: 4, Funny

    But then you're a anti-social and therefore likely to go on a shooting rampage.

    Damn, you've got my number. eerie.

    They're going to put Philip Seymour Hoffman in a blimp in the stratosphere?!!!

  16. Re:And brittanica did not see the threat on Wikipedia Didn't Kill Brittanica — Encarta Did · · Score: 1

    Nobody ever jumped on the ::cue::cat bandwagon.
    Slashdotters took great joy in maligning them for their half-baked business model and re-purposing the free bar-code scanners they so generously provided.
    Their audio cue technology seemed interesting.

    The tech bubble was a lot more entertaining than the housing bubble.

  17. Re:Better than instant messaging! on Instant Messaging With Neutrinos · · Score: 1

    I cain't RTFA because it 404'd. I'm hoping the characterization as "instant messaging" was a shoddy attempt at a pun by the submitter.
    This would be better characterized as wireless telegraphy vi neutriino.

  18. Edison invented FUD on AC and DC Battle For Data Center Efficiency Crown · · Score: 3, Funny

    Thank god, I'm so tired of stray dogs wandering into my datamacenter and getting electromacuted by deadly AC currents!
    Peta's really on our asses about that.

  19. Fourth Doctor is BEST Doctor! on Huge Triangle-shaped Spot Over the Sun · · Score: 1

    Just like there were never any sequels made to "The Matrix", there hasn't been any new Doctor Who since 1989.

    There's some sort of Americanized action series with some funny-looking guys that yell " RUN " a lot and blowing things up with a magic wand that many people mistakenly think to be Dr Who.

  20. what's a mob without pitcforks and torches? on Astroturfing For Speed Cameras · · Score: 0

    I think it's high time the people's champion, Anonymous, convene a flash mob to go all Cool Hand Luke on these UN-American red light cameras.
    you know, for the LULZ...

  21. Re:Dog? on Anonymous Hacks Tunisian Islamist Sites · · Score: 1

    Why is bitch censored?

    Your mind has been hacked by McKay Hatch.

    Don't we have a left wing liberal as a president right now?

    You're f-in kidding, right?

  23. funny because it's also true on Startram — Maglev Train To Low Earth Orbit · · Score: 1

    seal level

    I think you just won malapropism of the week there.
    That's the level seals are found on, nominally 0m altitude, right?

  24. Re:Really interesting idea on Startram — Maglev Train To Low Earth Orbit · · Score: 1

    It's ~850 miles from Reno to Tuscon. I really hope they build this thing up on pylons, or else you just walled off three states off from each other. I guess you could lay it out between Tijuana and Matamoros while building it. Benefits - cheap, available workforce, keeps them Mesckimins out. Down side - not sure if the workforce is skilled enough for the job.

  25. already been done... on The Numbers of a Life · · Score: 1
