  3. Re:Oh, good on The Silk Road Is Back · · Score: 1

    I may have done that while in a drunken stupor

    Is going to replace suspots as my go-to excuse for all and anything from now on. Since apparently it's acceptable justification for even the most unacceptable of behavior.
    Hell, I see a resurgence in the three-martini lunch from here on out.

  4. HOLY LOLI HONEYPOT EXPLOZION, BATAMAN! on The Silk Road Is Back · · Score: 4, Insightful

    On teh intarwebs, no one can tell you're a FED.

  5. but this one goes to 72! on Lockheed Martin Developing Successor To the SR-71 Blackbird · · Score: 2

    Amazing plane, looks like a fish, moves like a fish, steers like a cow.
    Will it be available in the traditional Hotblack Desiato livery?
    Will it still leak oil straight off the showroom floor like a '57 Jaguar?

  6. I keep warning you and you keep laughing... on How Elon Musk Approaches IT At Tesla · · Score: 1

    You don't get ahead in SPEKTOR by saying "no" to Hank Scorpio. You get fed to the sharks.

  7. still a few kinks to work out on 6TB Helium-Filled Hard Drives Take Flight · · Score: 5, Funny

    all the MP3 sound like The Chipmunks.

  8. Re:why didnt Snowden use Wikileaks??? on Snowden Publishes "A Manifesto For the Truth" · · Score: 1

    The problem is that Snowden was autisticlly gauche enough to not just say it, but release documents proving it. Bad form, old chap...

  9. but this one goes to 72! on Skunk Works Reveals Proposed SR-71 Successor: the Hypersonic SR-72 · · Score: 2

    Amazing plane, looks like a fish, moves like a fish, steers like a cow.

    teeny-weeny black spiders.
    hundreds of Quattuordecillions of teeny-weeny black spiders per cubic centimeter, crawling between the very fabric of creation.

  12. bap. bap. bap. bap. bap. on Insect-Inspired Flying Robot Handles Collisions And Keeps Going · · Score: 3, Funny

    That's pretty big. It's going to be pretty annoying repeatedly bouncing off your daughter's window.

  13. "whifflebug" also a suitable name on Insect-Inspired Flying Robot Handles Collisions And Keeps Going · · Score: 1

    HOLY SHIT! Exactly how hard are these things bouncing off of stuff? They could just as well go through the walls!

  14. I'm not from Kentucky but on How Kentucky Built the Country's Best ACA Exchange · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I'm appalled that the overwhelming majority of the comments have mostly been cheap shots of the "hurr durr, dum hillbillies cain't reed, they need to dumb down the site".

    The takeaway should be the that the KY developers properly understood that they need to make the site as widely accessible as possible.

  15. F$CK UNITY! err, wait, what?!... on Chrome Will End XP Support in 2015; Firefox Has No Plans To Stop · · Score: 4, Insightful

    As soon as Micr$oft comes up with a better version, we'll start using it.

    Lousy goddamned Fisher-Price tabletized piece of crap. This is a real big-boy computer I use to get real work done on, not some damn device for consuming BookFace and MeToobe videos. Plus there's no signed W7 driver for the lab control interface card. Mabel II would be very unhappy if that stopped working.

  16. BOOM!, problem solved. on Is Europa Too Prickly To Land On? · · Score: 5, Funny

    Just drop a M-121 bomb on the LZ to clear things out before landing.
    Take that spacecommies!
    America, FUCK YEAH!

  17. God schmod, I want my BIONIC MAN! on Dream Chaser Damaged In Landing Accident At Edwards AFB · · Score: 1

    "The pilot would have walked away, but he was too drunk to stand".
    Oh wait, this isn't Russia.

    If this was an American pilot, obviously he was just too lazy to walk away and had to wait until they winched him out of the cockpit and lowered him onto his Little Rascal XXL.


    yeah, yeah, /. summary is the suck, RTFA, vehicle was unmanned. Man, way to ruin 10E5 cheap jokes.

  18. Re:Now for extra credit on How I Compiled TrueCrypt For Windows and Matched the Official Binaries · · Score: 4, Funny

    Define the universe.
    Give two examples. ;-)

  19. that's not even wrong... on How I Compiled TrueCrypt For Windows and Matched the Official Binaries · · Score: 3

    You're not quite 40 YEARS behind the times....


    I think this whole NSA brouhaha will make some people start taking auditability a little more seriously.
    Which means documenting the whole tool chain used and all options used. Of course, that only helps if you have access to the source. SUX to be you, Microsoft.

  20. keep on livin' the dream! on Silicon Supercapacitor Promises Built-in Energy Storage For Electronic Devices · · Score: 1

    Professor Goddard lacked the knowledge ladled out daily in high schools.

  21. FREEZE! F.B.I.! on Rental Business Aaron's Admits Role In Spying On Customers · · Score: 1

    RIPPED from TODAY'S HEADLINES

    Some animals are more equal than others. This is my surprised face.

    If corporations were really people, I would be able to end one by squeezing my fingers around it's throat.

  22. Re:Very impressive production on 5-Year Mission Continues After 45-Year Hiatus · · Score: 1

    the incredible numbers of ways death stalks so many of them

    holy cow, I never thought of it from that angle. It really is "Voyage of the Space Beagle" to some degree. Ok, not Lovecraft, but still -ish.

    sciencefiction in particular seems to get caught up with superficial things like spectacle and shiny new effects. I like to think of TOS as being a stage play, with similar production values. The ideas and stories have to be more able to stand on their own feet. Yeah, that's filthy cherry-picking retconning, but it helps me to make it through the day in this world we live in.

  23. Re:Star Trek New Voyages on 5-Year Mission Continues After 45-Year Hiatus · · Score: 1

    nuts to these handful of Trek rehashes, I want to know why Man Conquers Space can't seem to make any progress.

  24. hey, it's an important job! on Nuclear Officers Napped With Blast Door Left Open · · Score: 1

    somebody's got to keep the aliens out!

  25. mostly global warming lies... on Physicist Unveils a 'Turing Test' For Free Will · · Score: 4, Funny

    oh, wow, you wouldn't BELIEVE the things some thermostats believe.
    It's like giving Prak an overdose of truth serum and have him ramble on about frogs for sixty hours.
