  1. Will my sites work on the iPhone? on Will You Change Your Web Site For the iPhone? · · Score: 1

    It will if the iPhone supports XHTML strict. If not, then no, my sites will not work on the iPhone. Ever.

  2. Re:Gate's quote on Crackers Cause Pentagon to Put Computers Offline · · Score: 5, Funny

    If you're a member of the military with some rank, shouting is a much more effective mode of communication. I imagine Microsoft producing specialized keyboards for the military, such as the MS Multimedia Sergeant Keyboard, which defaults to caps lock being always on.

  3. You could use it to enhance the experience on Voice Chat Can Really Kill the Mood · · Score: 2, Funny

    All you need is to purchase a big cylinder of helium, play some kind of dwarf and inhale some before speaking. And to creep someone out, you can just giggle, because giggling while on helium would really creep out anyone during gameplay...

  4. Re:Or... on Plants 'Recognize' Their Siblings · · Score: 1

    Vegetable rights and peace!

  5. They should use the Sesame Street captcha on Evolution of the 'Captcha' · · Score: 1

    You know, "One of these things is not like the other, one of these things is not quite the same.", then show pictures of things with one different. Maybe a difference in concept, like for example, outlines of 4 birds, one flying three not. Which is the odd one out.

  6. I'm pretty sure controlling it would be on WETA Working on Robotic Lizard For Science · · Score: 1

    like playing Leisure Suit Larry.

    Lounge Lizard? Get it? funny? ok, i'll take a seat over there.

  7. From looking at the animation on Probe Shows Jupiter Moon 'Puking' Into Space · · Score: 1

    I'd say it was more pissing on itself. We may be witnessing the solar systems spring break.

  8. Re:As they say in habbo... on WoW, Habbo Leaders to Keynote GDC Austin · · Score: 1

    All the /b/tards will float to the surface sooner or later.

  9. Interesting, but on Gates and Jobs to Share A Stage · · Score: 1

    This would be more interesting as the two Steve's, Ballmer and Wozniak. More chair throwing involved, sweating , big bushy beards and lots of phone hacking.

    Or the two Larry's, Ellison and Page. I can't imagine what would happen, but Larry Ellison always reminds me of the pencil neck EPA character from Ghostbusters, which could be funny for the first five minutes...

  10. Huh? on Top 10 Dead (or Dying) Computer Skills · · Score: 1

    Nonrelational DBMS? Wouldn't that just be a DBMS?

  11. There's a couple of things from this on Bush Causes Cell Phone Ban · · Score: 1

    1. Develop bomb which detonates when it loses the signal
    2. I want him and his entourage to wait outside my local cinema for about 2 hours while I watch a film.

  12. Covering my solar panel? on Gene Research Gives Hope of Reversing Baldness · · Score: 3, Funny

    No thanks, that's what makes me a sex machine!

  13. BMW have been working on this on Scientists Claim Major Leap in Engine Design · · Score: 1

    Their efforts have generally been in the camless valve control mechanism. The best variable valve timing I have ever seen is in a Ferarri engine, they actually machine the cam shafts lobes so that they can be moved horizontally across the top of the valves in accordance to the rpm of the crankshaft, that way there is a smooth transition of valve lift, duration and timing rather than other engines where there is a switch in timing using a wedge or other device so that the timing is either one setting or another with no graduation.

  14. Quick decision maker on Fast Navigating Guessing Robots · · Score: 5, Funny

    [Enters maze] ... First corner, bushes, snow ... Second corner, bushes, snow ... Third corner, bushes, snow ... Fourth corner, bushes, snow, Jack Nicholson behind me with an axe
    +++NO CARRIER

  15. So it's not Short Person Syndrome on Ceiling Height May Affect Problem-Solving Skills · · Score: 1

    It just seems that way, but they are in fact so free-thinking that it's out of our regular free-thinking frequency. Kind of like the infrasound of free thinking. We see it as Short Person Syndrome.

    I've totally changed my way of talking to shorter people. Instead of being cautious and watching where I swing my knees, I'll be able to admire their ability.

    One would even say this is the mythical '2' we've been looking for all these years.

    1. Find a tall room
    2. *Find a Short Person* (This is key)
    3. Profit!

  16. Time for the on Canadian Coins Not Nano-Tech Espionage Devices · · Score: 1

    Tin foil hockey mask!

  17. Vacuum holes? on IBM's Snowflake Microchips · · Score: 2, Funny

    Would this mean breaking one in half would make some kind of cool fizzing sound? Move over bubblewrap!

  18. The simple answer is... on Would You Install Pirated Software at Work? · · Score: 1

    You turn them in. If you know you're installing illegal software, you are assisting, you are involved. Don't become involved, get another job before it gets worse. Honestly, if they can't afford to purchase the software properly, then they might not be able to pay your wage before long.

  19. Half way through the mission, they get curious on NASA Tackles Ethics of Deep-Space Exploration · · Score: 1

    Astronaut 1: "So uh, how did you get this gig anyways?"
    Astronaut 2: "Well, I was reading Slashdot and..."
    Astronaut 1: "You read Slashdot? No way! So do I!"

    *Silence*

    Astronaut 2: "Right, now I understand. Lucky I'm still a virgin."
    Astronaut 1: "You are too?!"
    Astronaut 1: "Good thing this zero G chastity belt doesn't work. They clearly didn't think the design through, I simply removed my penis with a thermal tile and the belt slid off! Typical NASA engineers!"

    *Silence*

  20. Well... on NASA Tackles Ethics of Deep-Space Exploration · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Just let them fuck each other stupid. Christ, how hard is that? At least it'll pass the time until they get to Pluto or wherever the hell they're going.

  21. Powers of ten? on How Google Earth Images Are Made · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    If a google guy turns up asking to take photos of my neutrons he can kiss my shiney metal ass.

  22. Almost a tribute on New Japanese Mobile Phones Detect Motion · · Score: 1

    To Big Joe Turner. If only it detected Shake, Rattle and Roll...

  23. My friend on First Successful Demonstration of CO2 Capture Technology · · Score: 1

    The sup tag wants in on the action.

  24. Great machine on 25th Anniversary of the Sinclair ZX Spectrum · · Score: 1

    I purchased a zx80 kit early on, a little bit of assembly (and a phone call to Sinclair to help me un-fuck-up what I did) and it was running with 1Kb and a zilog cpu. Learn't Z80, fiddled around with it a lot and it helped me understand the basic architecture because it such a low-level computer. There were a few quirks, plus it tended to get really hot. I don't know what happened to it in the end, I think it was passed onto a family member. Then I upgraded to a ZX Spectrum 48K. Colour, swimming in RAM (after 1Kb, 48Kb was a dream), improved BASIC support, more peripherals (scored a speech synthesis add-on from somewhere and a thermal printer, oh I still remember the smell!). Upgraded to a +2 when Amstrad released the integrated tape recorder onto a 128Kb version. Thank you for the education Sir Clive Sinclair!

    But honestly, the C5? WTF were you thinking man, a 3 wheeled lay-back scooter made from a washing machine motor?

  25. Can't they just on Bill Would Require Labels on Cloned Food · · Score: 1

    Genetically insert the label into the fruits DNA? Saves a lot of time.

    It'll be useless once I get my 3D fruit photocopier anyway.
