  1. I thought I heard Jobs say... on Porn Industry Ready To Drop Flash · · Score: 5, Funny

    That the iPad would revolutionize online porn as we know it.

    Also, it wipes clean with a damp cloth.

  2. Re:Neuromancer still hedges on old ideas on Neuromancer Movie In Your Future? · · Score: 1

    And he traded 3 megabytes of RAM for a plane ticket to Australia.

  3. Re:Dare call it CONSPIRACY? on Second Inquiry Exonerates Climatic Research Unit · · Score: 1

    Time travel is all part of the conspiracy. Liberal scientist time travelers are going to go back into time and live before the draconian business-killing eco-conspiracy laws go into effect. Then they are going to offer all the conservatives a trip to the future. Sounds good? Well it does until they get to the future and find they have to pay a huge carbon tax for no reason! Ha ha ha!

  4. I call shenanigans! on South Park's Episode 201 — the Expurgated Version · · Score: 1

    Unless they release the unedited version, I say this is BS. If the original version had no big black "censored" block, then how would the joke have worked when Tom Cruise got the goo and his own censored block? Can anyone explain how that joke would have made sense without a censored block?

    Matt and Trey have a history of subversive comedy. When Bush was president, they said in an interview that it wasn't radical to oppose Bush, but saying "Bush is awesome" is hard-core. Come on, they love this stuff.

    I don't believe this any more than I believe the credits of "John Doe" were because they were afraid of being sued by Scientology.

    I can see them laughing at all the over-reaction (f---ing Muslims!) here and elsewhere. Andy Kaufman would be proud.

    On a side note, the problem is not Muslims, the problem is a--holes who issue death threats and do other nasty things. A lesser problem is people who think the problem is Muslims.

  5. Ashes to ashes, mush to mush on Brain Training Games Don't Train Your Brain · · Score: 3, Funny

    You can't stop your brain from slowly turning to mush. You may as well enjoy the ride.

  6. Re:older computers are better teaching tools on Looking Back From the 1980s At Computers In Education · · Score: 1

    Sex instead of computing? On slashdot, isn't it the other way round?

  7. Re:It has been going on for years on Google.cn Attack Part of a Broad Spying Effort · · Score: 1

    Interesting. In 2001 I took a job at a major hospital and the first thing I found was that the new web servers had been hacked by a group calling itself "sysadmen@yahoo.cn" It was a script kiddie attack (and the folks who installed those servers ought to be ashamed for the way they set them up). I'm not a security expert but I reported the breach and fixed security on those servers.

    China has been doing this for a long time, and they are getting good at it.

  8. Google Electricity on Google Applies To Become Energy Marketer · · Score: 3, Funny

    Does this mean every time I turn on a lamp I'm going to get hit with half a dozen ads for matching coffee tables?

    Or should I just flip the light switch marked "I'm feeling lucky?"

  9. Re:So? on IT Workers To Get Fewer Perks, No Free Coffee · · Score: 1

    Yeah but as a janitor at Google, I get to spend 20% of my work day experimenting with cross-ontology semantic web reification algorithms.

  10. Re:Enterprise, sure! on Virgin Galactic Unveils SpaceShipTwo · · Score: 1

    Yes, the details of temporal mechanics can be difficult to grasp at first. I flunked my first semester at Starfleet Academy. Once you realize that [tech] doesn't necessarily require [tech] to [tech], the equations become easier to manage.

  11. Virgin Spaceport Chain Stores on Virgin Galactic Unveils SpaceShipTwo · · Score: 1

    This is cool. Now when NASA finally gets to Mars, they'll be able to stop at the Virgin Galactic Megastore and get some souvenirs for the kids.

  12. Re:Whodathunk on Virgin Galactic Unveils SpaceShipTwo · · Score: 2, Funny

    Hopefully not during, "Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun."

  13. ...and the winner is on MIT and the DARPA Network Challenge · · Score: 1

    Spamford Wallace!

  14. Re:Hello, shark on Facebook To Preserve Accounts of the Dead · · Score: 1

    Facebook status: He's just pining for the fjords.

  15. I'm not dead yet! on Facebook To Preserve Accounts of the Dead · · Score: 1

    I'm getting better.

  16. Re:false positives? on Real-LIfe Distributed-Snooping Web Game To Launch In Britain · · Score: 1

    They win a chance to lure police far away from the jewelry store at the appointed time.

  17. Live Viewing at Moffett Field on Front Row Seats To NASA's Lunar Impact · · Score: 1

    ...and other places. Viewing parties across the country in fact.

    http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/LCROSS/impact/event_index.html

  18. Re:The Scary Door from "The Spanish Fry" on Team Aims To Create Pure Evil AI · · Score: 2, Funny

    "Why should I listen to you? You're Hitler!"

    "Save me Eva Braun!"

  19. Re:How soon we forget on How Microsoft Has Changed Without Bill Gates · · Score: 1

    That and their theme song, "Start me up," more commonly known as "You make a grown man cry."

  20. Re:Seriously? on Vint Cerf Imagines the Net's Future At NASA · · Score: 1

    Best idea since Bear Patrol

  21. Re:Really? on Does the 'Hacker Ethic' Harm Today's Developers? · · Score: 1

    It's a backhanded compliment. The author is making the case that Indian programmers are better, by saying people complain they pay too much attention to the requirements. I tend to agree that this article is more flame bait and self serving than it ought to be, and lacking in real data.

  22. Re:Cool name: Syfy = filth [in polish] on Sci Fi Channel Becoming Less Geek-Centric "SyFy" · · Score: 1

    That makes no sense. How would your average Sci-Fi watcher ever have the opportunity to contract syphilis?

  23. Re:A common misconception that pigs can't fly. on Flying Car Flies From London To Africa · · Score: 1

    They don't really fly, so much as plummet. That one, he's their leader.

  24. Re:Joy on Is the Bar of Soap Tomorrow's Smarterphone? · · Score: 1

    That's so intuitive, I won't even bother explaining it to you.

  25. Re:here we go on NASA and Google To Back New "Singularity University" · · Score: 1
