  1. Re:Impressive on Magazine Photos Fool Age-verification Cameras · · Score: 1

    "Ikkai yarou?"

    Still haven't heard it, but it might be cause I'm a gaijin. ^_^ Let's just say the capsule hotels isn't just known for being a nice place to take a sauna/onsen and watching yakuza tattoos at 5am.

  2. Re:I don't understand "fake art" on Nuclear Explosions Key To Spotting Fake Art · · Score: 1

    Let's say you got a twin, and a really good looking wife. (Suspend your disbelief for a moment, imagine a plain looking wife if must be)

    No, it's OK for your wife to bang your twin, cause he's the exact same as you. Right?

  3. Re:Once in a universe? on Mars Had an Ancient Impact Like Earth · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Actually it's more like a twice-in-a-universe event... just look at Pluto and its moon.

  4. Re:+5 informative comment on Studies Confirm That Bad Boys Get More Girls · · Score: 1

    One day you too will finish elementary school, and finally be old enough for these kinds of jokes.

    We don't even need a whole hand... Just three fingers are enough. ^_^

  6. Re:Avoid projects with one developer on Undocumented Open Source Code On the Rise · · Score: 1

    Perhaps you shouldn't be looking at SF for the top open source projects? Having your own infrastructure is a good indication that you might be more dedicated to your project, than making a SF account does.

  7. Re:Dual Frequency on Ionospheric Interference With GPS Signals · · Score: 0

    I thought the military used a second frequency because the public one is intentionally made less precise in war zones.

  8. Re:Interesting. on EU Calls For Use of Open Standards · · Score: 1

    Well... in Norway we got 1.4M guns for 4M people, and these include a lot of military-issue rifles, etc.

    Front page news here is someone speeding at 130km/t, or accidents. Though I must admit the guns are rather convenient when you want to take suicide, which we Scandinavian people are apt to do.

  9. More â8M to make a trivial web app compatible on Open Source Cities Followup — Munich Yea, Vienna Nay · · Score: 2, Funny

    I suggest hiring 1000 monkeys for a year, bananas should cost less than $8000 a year.

  10. Re:Wait a minute... on Prince DMCAs YouTube To Block Radiohead Song · · Score: 1

    The guy spamming the send button is likely to face stiff penalties... DMCA actually allows you to sue them if they didn't actually own the copyright they made claims to.

  11. The important question is... on Pringles Can Designer Dies, Buried In a Pringles Can · · Score: 1

    What flavor of Pringles?

  12. Re:Spread it around? on UK Academics Arrested For Researching al-Qaida · · Score: 1

    Although going through airport security isn't always pleasant, my trip through Guam was the first time I'd been put through such an amount of mind-games and harassment.

    Contrasting the US protectorate with neighboring Palau, where they had 'christmas' decorations hanging around in immigrations... Two different worlds.

  13. Re:The Time Machine on Line Forms At Apple's Always-Open Manhattan Cube · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I live in Japan... I've seen _much_ worse. It's like a perfect storm of high population density and a love for queuing in orderly fashion.

  14. Re:Why so slow with expansions? on World of Warcraft Expansion Details Leaked · · Score: 1

    Wait, there's MMO's that take paid for expansions?...

  15. Re:ASK SLASHDOT on An IM Patent for the iPhone? · · Score: 0

    Wait... Not only do you fail to realize SMS is IM, but also fail to realize why it is so _popular_. (outside of the US)

  16. Re:Just a Matter of Time... on JFK, LAX To Test Millimeter-Wave Scanners · · Score: 4, Funny

    I was about to say something about the security guards being aroused the whole shift they work... But then i realized it will be at an US airport, where the traffic will have extra large volumes.

  17. TV on mobile phones in Japan on 10 Cool Gadgets You Can't Get Here · · Score: 4, Informative

    What they forgot to mention about TV on those japanese phones is that the programming _sucks_...

    Seriously, it's all game/talk-shows, news or sumo. Might as well do something else while sitting on the train in Tokyo, like watching the local girls or reading.

  18. Re:Does it even matter if it's a standard? on EU's Anti-Trust Investigation of OOXML Continues · · Score: 1

    I don't see the problem... MS Office won't certify as following this standard, not even now, and thus they can't claim they implement an ISO standard.

    Now, if the certification process is corrupt then there might be some problems...

  19. Re:Yeah right! on OOXML Rumored to be Approved, Announcement Wednesday · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The difference between the two arguments is the implicit "open and complete, community developed" and "closed and incomplete, MicroSoft developed".

  20. Re:ZDNet Writers Lack Technical Expertise on iPhone's Development Limitations Could Hurt It In the Long Run · · Score: 1

    I'd say they can run between zero and very many, depending on who develops those 3rd-party apps.

  21. Re:How long until... on FBI Posts Fake Hyperlinks To Trap Downloaders of Illegal Porn · · Score: 3, Funny

    I fail to see the difference; Do they not both involve stretching out of assholes?

  22. Re:this problem is actually pretty easy to solve. on The Uncertain Future of Global Population Numbers · · Score: 1

    Perhaps not everyone shares your definition of death, which is why many will see your post as advocating a form of murder.

    What if that person is hanging off the edge of a cliff, sure to lose his grip at any moment. Are you going to pull him back from the dead?

  23. Re:Nokia E65 on BBC Offers iPhone Version of iPlayer, Accessible to Linux Users Too · · Score: 1

    Not everyone has sex for the purpose of reproduction. Though I must admit, the girls have been complaining lately that I've been kinda flat and short, perhaps I should switch back to my old Motorola from '98. (It never got any complaints at _all_)

  24. Re:Which method? on Should Scientists Date People Who Believe Astrology? · · Score: 1

    No it isn't... The "rate of error" under certain circumstances is acceptable for everyday use, but that doesn't make it correct.

  25. Re:Japan != USA/Europe on Japan IDs All Its Citizens · · Score: 1

    Errr... Trust? As my japanese teacher once told me; The japanese are a people of liars.

    After thinking over those words I have come to understand the Japanese society better, and so I have a hard time believing they would 'trust'... More likely they will merely endure it to avoid social friction.
