  1. not enough killer trout on HP Back In Tablet Game With Android-Based 'Slate7' · · Score: 1

    Everyone know that the even-numberd Leonard movies suck.

  2. Re:so uh... on Linus Torvalds Explodes at Red Hat Developer · · Score: 1

    Reasonable men adapt to the world around them; unreasonable men make the world adapt to them. The world is changed by unreasonable men.

    -- Edwin Louis Cole


    Of course, there are also a lot of untalented managers that use that as license for their assholery.

  3. Re:Torvalds vs Ballmer on Linus Torvalds Explodes at Red Hat Developer · · Score: 5, Funny

    great, now you've given me the mental image of Ballmer as Donkey Kong, tossing chairs down the tower to knock Linus off before he gets to the top.

    somebody really should do a ROM hack for that.

  4. Re:Linus Torvalds is his own worst enemy on Linus Torvalds Explodes at Red Hat Developer · · Score: 4, Funny

    the year of linux on the desktop might magically materialize

    What's a "desktop" grandpa?

  5. BORING! on Quadrocopters Throwing and Catching an Inverted Pendulum · · Score: 1

    Wake me up when they can do that with inverted compound pendulums.
    Cirque du Soleil will probably put robots in the show when they can do that.

    Or maybe an Aibo balancing on a big dog balancing on a CAM. (Bonus if they can all "sing")

  6. who would know them better? on al-Qaeda's 22 Tips and Tricks To Dodge Drones · · Score: 2

    Yeah, notorious traitorous pinkos like Ike and Smedley Butler were just spouting off and didn't know what they were talking about.


    Also, you need somewhere to burn off excess young male testosterone-addled population to prevent social instability. (Look at contemporary China. A Billion young men that can't find wives. Oh crap...) You can go all Kipling and phrase it in terms of heroism and derring-do. It's all still just keeping that same wheel spinning.

  7. Ceres for Cererals! on NASA's Basement Nuclear Reactor · · Score: 1

    GREAT, now we have to worry about "peak nickel".
    Hopefully this will give us enough cheap energy that we can start strip-mining the asteroid belt.

  10. the rich are different than you and me on Planetary Resources To 'Claim' Asteroids With Beacons · · Score: 1

    Do you consider yourself to be a better investor than Eric E. Schmidt, K. Ram Shriram, Charles Simonyi, Larry Page and Ross Perot, Jr

    People like that have a lot more disposable income than I to risk on a lark on a high-risk venture.
    My investments need to pay off in ~20 years so I'm not eating cat food in my old age. meow!

  12. "This book must be out of date" on Planetary Resources To 'Claim' Asteroids With Beacons · · Score: 2

    I'm pretty sure Grand Fenwick isn't a signatory either. IMO, a much more appropriate choice.

  13. whoops,read that wrong... on Planetary Resources To 'Claim' Asteroids With Beacons · · Score: 1

    Space Bacons?

    I bet in teh futuar, bacon will be a highly sought after luxury in space.
    Just imagine the immense wealth for the daring astro-prospector that finds a whole asteroid of bacon.
    Bets on what comes first, the maternity station (confinement asteroid for you belters...) or the bacon astro-farm?

    (just as long as it's not this type...)

  14. that's a lot of jetpacks! on Drones Still Face Major Hurdles In US Airspace · · Score: 2

    hey, as long has they have a man with a red lantern proceed each drone so horses aren't spooked, I'm sure the Pennsylvania legislature will be fine with it.

    Pathetic Atarians, we call it the third dimension!

  19. For the World is Hollow and I have touched the SKY on Huge Meteor Blazes Across Sky Over Russia; Hundreds Injured · · Score: 1

    You're sure that was a Russian interceptor missile that hit it?

    I imagine it was shot down by an ancient meteor defence facility left behind when the reptoids retreated to their underground lairs.

    I have a vivid imagination.
