  1. Re:Why not just scarp US Intelligence on Annual US Intelligence Bill Tops $80 Billion · · Score: 1

    But will that pizza keep bin Laden from leaving his cave?

    I'm sure if the delivery boys left them all on his front porch, 600 million large pizzas would be enough to keep him trapped in his cave forever. Particularly if they were pepperoni pizzas, him being such a devout "Muslim" and all...

  2. at the core on The Galaxy May Have Billions of Habitable Planets · · Score: 1

    That's all well and good, but what are we going to do when the wavefront of gamma & x-rays from stars falling into the black hole at the center of the galaxy reaches us? Then what are we going to do?!!!

  3. Hannibal Lecter, maintenance programmer on How Allies Used Math Against German Tanks · · Score: 1

    From my experience, it's not the bad (database) programmers that are psychopathic ones.

    They just bring out the psychopath in the poor sots that have to deal with their misbegotten travesties.

  4. Re:says the gingerbread man to apple on Google's Gingerbread Man Has Arrived · · Score: 1

    It's Tuesday, time for a google submitt-a-thon on /. ?

    So does that mean we hate Apple today? Wait, that's odd days, not even, right? Or is it by the last digit of your IP address? I have such a hard time keeping these all straight.

  5. got gingerbread ? on Google's Gingerbread Man Has Arrived · · Score: 2, Funny

    Achievement unlocked?

  6. illogical on Bees Beat Machines At 'Traveling Salesman' Problem · · Score: 1

    Why on Earth would someone worship an entity that feels the compunction to deceive them from the get-go?!

  7. Re:Can anybody summarize TFA? on Physicists Say Graphene Could Create Mass · · Score: 1

    Now, I wonder what would happen when putting electrons in a C60 buckyball...

    Two electrons enter, one electron leaves...
    Who runs Bartertown?!

  8. Re:Professor John Searl was first with this, no? on Programmable Magnets · · Score: 1

    I can't decide between funny and troll, and there's no mod for kook, so no points for you!

  9. fucking google, HOW DOES IT WORK?!! on Programmable Magnets · · Score: 1
  10. Uncanny valley is a place in Africa on Japan's Latest Rockstar Is a 3D Hologram · · Score: 1

    That's what a lot of your ancestors thought about Neanderthals, too.
    Surprize! You didn't get all of them.

    I'm not red-headed. really...

  11. great futurist? phah! on Building a Telegraph Using Only Stone Age Materials · · Score: 1

    Verne failed to predict the Harlem Globetrotters, so I fail to see the parallel.

  12. Re:Kinda missing the point there... on Building a Telegraph Using Only Stone Age Materials · · Score: 1

    There's your singularity right there, bitches.
    As soon as you go digital, everything goes down the rabbit hole and there's no way you can access it from the dumber zones.
    And nobody seems to give a damn.

  13. Re:yikes on NASA Reveals Hundred Year Starship Program · · Score: 1

    Give me (or NASA, take your pick) the $10 billion. We'll try like heck and even if we don't get to Mars, we have your ten billion. And some great CG.

    I dunno, OJ's getting pretty old to do a remake. Plus, he's not as popular as he used to be for some reason.

  14. silly asses! on NASA Reveals Hundred Year Starship Program · · Score: 1

    The Governator himself said it : " GET YOUR ASS TO MARS! "
    Are you going to argue with him?!
    What more reason do you need?

  15. marking your posessions on UK-Developed 'DNA Spray' Marks Dutch Thieves With Trackable Water · · Score: 2, Funny

    I usually just pee on everything I own.
    I mean, why pay some company for synthetic markers, when you already have your own custom-tailored ones for free?

  16. the SUN, like in "Sundae" on UN May Ban Blotting Out the Sun · · Score: 1

    No, it's about blocking our connection to GOD (sol invictus, to you dimbulbs out there...) This has NWO repotid thalamus-level thinking written all over it.

  17. Re:Eminent Domain on Pirated Software Could Bring Down Predator Drones · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Promis me you won't make slurs like that against the Justice department again.

  18. Re:Economic opportunity on Putting the Squeeze On Broadband Copper Robbers · · Score: 1

    Bloody nepotism!
    And several much more qualified candidates were probably ignored.

  19. Re:The cost... on How To Deflect an Asteroid With Today's Technology · · Score: 3, Funny

    None of them want to pay taxes again. Ever.

    I don't think a spaceshipload of teabaggers is going to be the right choice skillset-wise for effectively deflecting an asteroid. Can't we just put them on the B-Ark and fly them into the Sun?

  20. Re:Droning people out on Google Maps Adds Drone Imagery · · Score: 1

    500-2000 swarming airbots with high-intensity LEDs and you've put the aerial banner guys out of business. Can you get enough power from solar to run something like that yet?

  21. Re:Rules... on Careful What You Post, the FBI Has More of These · · Score: 1

    I'll be impressed when there's a law enforcement override for removing the freaking battery

    Not an iPhone owner, I see.

  22. the $99 upgrade: on Careful What You Post, the FBI Has More of These · · Score: 1

    Because individual rights mean squat these days?

    Maybe you should consider incorporation, citizen.
    All of the rights, none of the responsibilities! Get out of jury duty!

  23. call it what it is on Researchers Test WiFi Access From Moving Vehicles · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I prefer the OSS term for this technology, "autoleech".

  24. FREAKIN' JENIUS ROCKET SURGEONS!!! on Countries Considering Circumlunar Flight From ISS · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Using a Earth-orbiting space station is exactly what von Braun recommended sixty years ago before you idiots turned it into a mad dash to "beat the commies". Then we would have had some real space infrastructure for our investment instead of several disposable programs with nothing left to show when they were over.

  25. Re:The one big question would be on Study Finds Most Would Become Supervillians If Given Powers · · Score: 1

    eh, let 'em have their nukess...
    Just thwart them every time they try to use them. Just imagine the exquisite frusttration!
