  1. Hercule on Snowden Docs: Brits Hacked Accounts of Belgian IT Admins · · Score: 1

    So what more have we learnt about Poirot?

  2. What a humbug posting... on Without Plutonium, Deep-Space Probe Missions May Sputter Out · · Score: 1

    The author(s) did not even care to read the papers by Zefram Cochrane and are blithering on about plutonium. Anything is possible with dilithium. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dilithium_(Star_Trek)

  3. Keynote for Dummies on A Little-Heralded New iOS 7 Feature: Multipath TCP · · Score: 1

    For dummies, Cook presents, silence is the rest.

  4. rotten drink on Molecule In Corked Wine Plugs Up Your Nose · · Score: 1

    I do not understand all this fuss about aroma and taste and TCA (trichloroacetic acid?). After all people are drinking rotten fruit juice!

  5. Box? on Molecule In Corked Wine Plugs Up Your Nose · · Score: 1

    Nope, it is recyclable box containing a non-recyclable plastic bag which in turn contains the nectar of life.

  6. No way she is my fourth cousin. on Humans Choose Friends With Similar DNA · · Score: 1

    Can I marry her or not? PS: Does the article talk about friends of opposite sex?

  7. imbecile meter on More Bad News From Fukushima · · Score: 1

    My multimeter will display EE when a reading exceeds the displayable limit. Wonder if they are carrying a meter from 1960s... or a mind from hell.

  8. graphing calculator on For Education, Why TI-83 > iPad · · Score: 1

    But then there are graphing calculator apps like... https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/free-graphing-calculator/id378009553?mt=8 https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/graphing-calculator-hd/id374274107?mt=8 and Mathlab's pretty good, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=us.mathlab.android&hl=en So I guess, iPad and android tablets do more than a graphing calculator. Did Phil Nicols get '''something''' from TI to say that a computer is less educational than a calculator?

  9. Snail mail please. on Indian Government To Ban Use of US Email Services For Official Communications · · Score: 1

    I agree. It is despicable that my boss can order me about via email.

  10. Re:so... on New Keyboard Accessory Shocks Users When They Try To Go On Facebook · · Score: 1

    Harvard invents insulating rubber gloves to protect people against MIT invention.

  11. What next? "New Keyboard Accessory Shocks Users When They Try To Go On Pornhub" ?

  12. Break it up into what? on Break Microsoft Up · · Score: 1

    As per the article, "split the company up so as to remove conflicts between new and old products". So we will have, Microsoft XP, Inc., Microsoft Vista, Inc., Microsoft 7, Inc., Microsoft 8, Inc., etc.? What is wrong with letting the company ruin itself, just the same way they grew up?

  13. Re:LMAO on Dropbox Wants To Replace Your Hard Disk · · Score: 1

    Not every one. Just the Apple aficionados. We would give our homes and wives to Apple. It is that good.

  14. Houston on Dropbox Wants To Replace Your Hard Disk · · Score: 1

    Are we sure Houston does not work for NSA? For national security purposes, NSA could have started dropbox. But then dropbox is too good to be a govt. product. :)

  15. Re:Priceless on The Price of Amazon · · Score: 1

    Thanks, glad your books are from 'tree farm trees' and for the insight that 'trees are plants'.

  16. Bye on Microsoft Says Goodbye To WebTV/MSN TV · · Score: 1

    I said good bye to Microsoft, like some 10 years back.

  17. Priceless on The Price of Amazon · · Score: 1

    Yes it is priceless. I do not understand how someone can put a price on the world treasure, the lungs of the world, a space for unknown number of flora and fauna and even never before seen tribes of humans. Instead of chopping those trees, we are better off reading from a Kindle.

  18. Aliens on UK Steps Up the Search For Alien Life · · Score: 1

    Aliens? Like from other parts of Europe and Asia? I am sorry, living the US, I must be confused.

  19. Laser and night vision on Why Protesters In Cairo Use Laser Pointers · · Score: 1

    Night vision goggles are extremely sensitive to light, If the laser hits the goggles directly, the shooter might be blinded for quite some time.

  20. Laser in Rio on Why Protesters In Cairo Use Laser Pointers · · Score: 1

    I saw them being used at a rally in Rio the day before as well.

  21. Why support spying! on Snowden Offered Asylum By Venezuelan President · · Score: 1

    In the US, politicians have been effectively taking the citizens for a ride in the name of national security. Politicians know that carefully balancing the national security and economic security is the key to getting a large number of people to desist from protect. Just like in China. People of weary of what kind of setup they will get if they depose the communist govt. Right now many of the Chinese citizens are making some sort of money and the country is seemingly secure. People want it that way.

  22. Mind Read on Man Campaigns For Addition of 'Th' Key To Keyboard · · Score: 1

    Who the hell cares, the computers will one day read the mind and NSA (and Google) will know 'it' as well.

  23. Chicken on Harlan: a Language That Simplifies GPU Programming · · Score: 1

    And perhaps from KFC as well... KFC's argument, "Programming languages come and go, but fried chicken is for ever".

  24. Fence on Scientists Work To Produce 'Star Trek' Deflector Shields · · Score: 1

    Why? Are you stuck on the other side of the fence from Tijuana?

  25. Google is a bitch on Is Google Voice Doomed To Be 2nd-Class Messaging System? · · Score: 1

    What if I adopt it and make it a mainstay and then big G decides to junk it a la Reader? Recent google breakups have weakened many a hearts!
