  1. My plans are coming together on NASA Weighs Moon Plans · · Score: 1

    Finally, I can build Moon Unit Zappa.

  2. Re:That's a bad idea... on First Company Logo Visible From Space · · Score: 1

    Here in Brisbane, it's Kentucky Fried Children

  3. It's made out of the wrong material on Scientists Create Air Guitar T-shirt · · Score: 2, Funny

    It needs to be made out of Spandex to truly make it rock.

  4. First hand experience with convergence on iPhone Rumour Round-up · · Score: 2, Insightful

    1. Something happens to the phone. You lose the MP3 player, camera and storage device while it's getting fixed.

    3. You get the idea.

  5. "Old" hardware? on Preview of Vista On Old Hardware · · Score: 1

    I've just cleaned up my PDP-11, hopefully it won't take too long to install.

  6. Sligtly on-topic on Worst Security Clean-Up You've Performed? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I actually had a favorite mail trojan at one point. I can't remember what it was called, and it expired itself a couple of years ago. It was distributed via mail, picking out everone in their address book. The fun thing about it was that it would pick out a random file from the victims computer, preferrably some sort of document, but it didn't seem to fussy, attach a copy of itself to the beginning of the file and send it on. Made a quick script which chopped off the virus whenever I received a mail, and then saved the actual file somewhere so I could take a look. It was like a little surprise in the mailbox every day. Some of my favorite ones were:

    * An excel spreadsheet showing the expenses for a french shoe manufacturer
    * Someone's thesis on the spawning habits of canadian salmon (quite well written too, best of luck with the masters)
    * A strange photograph of a person driving a car with a giant carrot for a passenger
    * Someones 10Mb .pst file from their MS outlook. Lots of mail, nothing interesting, but the program sent the file without the user noticing it.
    * No porn whatsover, dissapointing
    * An no password files, which I guess would have been a good primary target for the trojan.

    Quality trojan, they don't write them like that anymore.

  7. Dashed childhood on Blind Mice See Again After Cell Transplants · · Score: 4, Funny

    "Holy crap, look at the size of that carving knife! Run!"

  8. I must be part of that statistic on 4 Seconds Loading Time Is Maximum For Websurfers · · Score: 3, Funny

    I'm here waiting for the thread to load up, click reply and decide to wri.. oooh, shiny thing!

  9. At last, there may be hope on Stem Cell Research Bill Clears Australian Senate · · Score: 1

    Maybe Christopher Reeves can walk again.

    Then we'll appear to have some sort of zombie problem on our hands.

  10. Ingenious on AIDS Can Fight AIDS · · Score: 5, Funny

    We can genetically modify idiots to fight other idiots!

  11. Did you know on iPod Owners Not As Loyal To Brand As Mac Owners · · Score: 0, Troll

    That Steve Jobs kept the proto-type for the iPod in his underpants for 3 weeks straight? I've heard rumors that he has a little polar neck sweater for his willy. It's like a neo-willy-warmer, so when he's drinking his frappa-chappa-chino and typing on his brand new G6 laptop, he can whip out the old boy, fap like there's no tomorrow and still blend in with the crowd.

    iFap.

  12. Keeping it simple on More Voting Shenanigans in Florida · · Score: 1

    Touchscreens? What's wrong with big buttons? Maybe they would be better with a Whack-a-mole machine?

  13. Microsoft change the definitions to suit on New Windows Attack Can Disable Firewall · · Score: 3, Funny

    When they advertise that XP installations come with a firewall, they in fact mean that XP installations come installed with a wall of fire. The EULA clearly states that, somewhere near the bottom next to the pictures of cats and the sudoku puzzles, because no-one ever reads that far...

  14. I can't wait to see the Sun in 3D on NASA STEREO Spacecraft Set to Launch · · Score: 2, Funny

    I'll bask in its spherical glory.

    I can literally feel the vitamin D oozing from my pores, all I need now is a virtual sun burn.

  15. I would never take RAC seriously on RentACoder Losing Street Cred? · · Score: 1

    It's discounting the value of your own work. Crazy idea.

  16. If I were Microsoft on Finger Pointing Over iPod Windows Virus · · Score: 1

    I'd be shipping the Zune with software which displays pictures of big hairy windows developers arses which only appear on OSX.

    Good solution really, not a virus, not spyware, and they haven't got any software for OSX which prevents DevArses from appearing on their designer 32" LCD displays.

  17. Here's our chance on Chinese Ban Internet Rumors · · Score: 2, Funny

    We could out-source their rumor making, off shore it for them. I could make online rumors for the average mainland chinese for a fraction of the cost. They would be good rumors too, the kind you'd never get it you off-shored to India or Malaysia, quality rumors like "Low Ping has small nuts", or "Mai Ass is huge".

  18. I've had to setup internet use policies on Reporting on Your Employees' Internet Access? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    For a few clients I've worked at. The only time they really want to read any logs is when they want to get rid of a specific employee. If you're not on their hit list you didn't have a worry, but it you were then they would find the smallest detail in a log to pick you out and fire you for breaking their internet use policy.

  19. So not only are there tornados in Kansas on Kansas Soil Yields Massive Meteorite · · Score: 2, Funny

    But they have meteors muscling in on Dorothy's turf. It sounds like a terrifying place to live.

  20. That was quick on Flickr Search Hack Powered by Mouse-Made Doodles · · Score: 5, Funny

    I think we just made the world record for the most number of boobies sketched out on the internet simultaneously.

  21. It's true on French Scientists Link Higher BMI with Lower IQ · · Score: 2, Funny

    I've visited the Calista Flockhart jet propulsion lab here in Tasmania, they're working on a new solid vomit booster.

  22. It's 2006 on uTube.com Business Stalled by YouTube Purchase Hype · · Score: 2, Funny

    It's the year of the tube

  23. As an emergency backup on Changes in Earth's Orbit Linked to Extinctions · · Score: 1

    We get Yuri Geller to train 1 million people in how to think the earth to keep spinning in the right direction. An if just one person loses concentration then we're doomed to spin off into a black hole somewhere.

    I could help the cause by sitting at home 24x7 just thinking about keeping the world on track. It'd be worth while, all I need are snacks, game console, tv and beer. I could get government sponsorship, maybe even a subsidy from somewhere for better beer. But I'm saving the planet, so it's ok.

  24. I'm jealous on Pi Recited to 100,000 Digits · · Score: 1

    Because his circles will always be rounder than mine.

  25. If I get my hands on one of these on The First Robotic Musician · · Score: 1

    I'll play it some Autechre.
