  1. Why not? on Should the Start of Chinese New Year Be a Federal Holiday? · · Score: 1

    Why not make US congress tricameral and include the Chinese Communist Party. The we will have, (1) House of Representatives, (2) Senate, and (3) Loan masters

  2. TrickQ on Are There Any Real Inventors Left? · · Score: 1

    Can you please stop asking trick questions on /.?

  3. Re:Downhill on Solowheel is for People Who Think a Segway is Boring (Video) · · Score: 1

    At least it seems to be portable.

  4. Mortgage or Lease? on Unlocking New Mobile Phones Becomes Illegal In the US Tomorrow · · Score: 1

    The term 'contract' translates to 'lease' as far as the service providers are concerned. And they have gotten the lawmakers to proclaim that putting a pushpin on their walls is breaking the law.

  5. just word of mouth on Student Expelled From Montreal College For Finding "Sloppy Coding" · · Score: 1

    What the heck! I've been using MS-Win since 1987 in one form or another. I've never published a complaint. It is all by word of mouth. No published incriminating evidence. hmmm...

  6. abracadabra on Google Declares War On the Password · · Score: 1

    By the way, Eric Schmidt's gmail password is... abracadabra. And he shares it with Page and Brin.

  7. Amazing Prejudice on No, Life Has Not Been Found In a Meteorite · · Score: 0

    Did you read the paper? Do you know who Wikramasinghe or even who Fred Hoyle is. Have you looked at their past publications? But I have. And I have been following that group's study of exobiology for over 25 years. I do not agree with many of their hypothesis, but it is unfortunate that someone like you who cannot read and comment on scientific publications thought it best to comment about the author's personality and more. Indeed you are an 'anonymous coward'.

  8. Kryptonite Crystalline Dome on Trip To Mars Could Damage Astronauts' Brains · · Score: 1

    Totally agree. Even on Krypton my ancestors lived in a kryptonite crystalline dome to protect ourselves against the "highly charged iron particles". I do miss my homeland. :(

  9. Anonymous ? on What Turned VR Pioneer Jaron Lanier Against the Web · · Score: 2

    What do you mean by anonymous? What else you want me to do? I already said my name is khan.

  10. Nerds and humor on UK Milk Supply Contains New MRSA Strain · · Score: 5, Funny

    Obviously you have forgotten the meaning of a 'nerd'. Many are xkcd resistant strains.

  11. Cats again! on Catfish Strands Itself To Kill Pigeons · · Score: 2

    Cats in whatever form have never been up to anything good ever. They are killing the one bird, people around the world love because they poop on the heads of politicians' statues.

  12. Great Onions! on North Korea Claims Archaeologists Have Found 'Unicorn Lair' In Pyongyang · · Score: 1

    Are we sure we did not fall for the Pyongyang's version of The Onion? Despite their lack of any sense of humor...

  13. No Grammar on Study Claims Human Intelligence Peaked Two To Six Millennia Ago · · Score: 1

    Caiss er'wuss nah kraamaaire een 1000... wat's bc?

  14. Integrated aquaculture on Seafood Raised on Animal Feces Approved for Consumers · · Score: 1

    1) Integrated aquaculture is a very old concept. Combining livestock with fish rearing has been in practice for hundreds of years in South and South-East asia. 2) Tilapia is not seafood.

  15. Re:Good for something... on Apple Maps Accidentally Reveals Secret Military Base In Taiwan · · Score: 2

    Well said. Just yesterday it could not locate a bank ATM in a building I was parked outside of. Then I had to follow it's lead up to the actual bank about 2 miles away. Thanks to great cooking by Mr. Cook.

  16. Constant worry about China on Apple Maps Accidentally Reveals Secret Military Base In Taiwan · · Score: 1

    I am guessing that Taiwan is worried about China. But I bet they very well know that China does not depend on Apple/Google maps. China probably has a much higher resolution pic of the base and few dudes already working within the base as well. Therefore, the nature of worry is just akin to Cheney's worry about his property on google maps and his hallucinations that Russians have locked on to his property's coordinates by looking at Google earth.

  17. Hallmark Cards Only, Please! on The Text Message Typo That Landed a Man In Jail · · Score: 0

    There is a reason why I always send only a hallmark card to my girlfriend asking for sex and thanking for sex. I can write only one address on the envelop.

  18. Pig to gummy worms to pig on Global Bacon Shortage 'Unavoidable' · · Score: 0

    Well, the reason is simple. You grow pigs, boil them down to gelatin. Make gummys and feed it to the pigs. This cycle of man-made cannibalism is causing pigs to go extinct.

  19. Re:Blame the Jews... Nope, t's China on Global Bacon Shortage 'Unavoidable' · · Score: 0

    It is not Jews. It is China. They started with Gold. Blocked rare earth mineral exports. And now engorging on pigs.

  20. Re:IT minister in India built that on India Plans To Build Fastest Supercomputer By 2017 · · Score: 0

    I agree with what you are saying about the role of government. But here is the thing. There are some fabulous scientists at the IISc and ISRO which are all primarily research oriented. All the supercomputers that India has (all five) are products of one or a group a scientists there who submit a proposal for funding the assembly of a supercomputer and clearly explaining where and what for they will use it. That includes defense purposes. Hence the DRDO funding. You get in touch with the minister and ask him to give the proposal a push. Minister convenes a press conf. and tells every one "Indian Govt" is going to build that. And thus we end with a news that says India is building a SC. The scientists who put in hours of working out the details and proposal... poof.

    You $oBee, what do you mean? I am not working? I spend my last freaking 30 seconds downloading the worst comic ever. And that didn't kill nobody or make any one poor. Wait a min, my effin boss is playing spider solitaire. Le me take a nap.

  22. Re:In unrelated news... on India Plans To Build Fastest Supercomputer By 2017 · · Score: 1

    Quoting judgefurious above, "They're going to build it completely out of Nan. It will be fast and delicious!" Are you planning on the same too? Related to the news.: Who knows if naan is a semiconductor!?!?

  23. IT minister in India built that on India Plans To Build Fastest Supercomputer By 2017 · · Score: 1

    The problem with India is, "India wants to do it". It is not the scientists or researchers in a university or institute in India who will do it, but a telecommunication minister. Till this mentality dissipates and the government bets on the independent institutions in India to come up with such headlines, India is going nowhere.
