  1. Quick on Dorian Nakamoto Officially Denies That He Created Bitcoin · · Score: 1

    Let's create NakamotoCoin, pump it, dump it and kill it!

  2. Re:Creationists on Big Bang's Smoking Gun Found · · Score: 1

    I live in perpetual fear of The Coming of the Great White Handkerchief.

  3. Re:Come on journalists... on Big Bang's Smoking Gun Found · · Score: 1
  4. Re:Next up: a direct detection on Big Bang's Smoking Gun Found · · Score: 1

    I call it a Hawking-hole.

  5. Why do they want a large-scale UPS? on EU Project Aims To Switch Data Centers To Second Hand Car Batteries · · Score: 1

    Countless studies have demonstrated a vastly superior and cheaper method: a large-scale FedEx.

  6. Re:Shrinkage on Planet Mercury Has Shrunk More Than Thought · · Score: 2

    It's only common knowledge if you are male. Some females, however, did learn about shrinkage from a TV show called "Seinfeld".

  7. Re:Shrinkage on Planet Mercury Has Shrunk More Than Thought · · Score: 1

    Unfortunately, specialists such as Dr. Benes are not aware of all the research done in the field of shrinkage and continue to publish papers that are crucially missing this important information.

  8. Where's the seat? on Transformer-Style Scooter Lets You Ride Your Briefcase To Work · · Score: 1

    You're supposed to ride this thing standing up, sitting on the handle or sitting at the back of the briefcase?

    At least it makes charging a breeze.

    Boss: Hey, why is your briefcase plugged into the wall?
    You: My work laptop is inside it and I don't want people to steal it, I'm protecting the company property, sir!
    Boss: Carry on, then!

  9. Great detective work on Transformer-Style Scooter Lets You Ride Your Briefcase To Work · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Don't count on actually carrying stuff to work with this briefcase (there's a scooter inside)."

    Either the built-in storage compartment doesn't count or Soulskill didn't even bother to watch the video.

  10. Re:Briefcase!? on Transformer-Style Scooter Lets You Ride Your Briefcase To Work · · Score: 1

    It worked for Iron Man.

  11. Re:Google Voice still being actively developed on Goodbye, Google Voice · · Score: 1

    Still actively developed would be "We've got this 3+ year old thing, it's really popular and maybe the rest of the planet might care if they could use it".

    As a Canadian, I'm often pissed-off by all the services not available in Canada. Maybe Google are not aware there's more than one country in North America.

  12. Timothy is dying on Goodbye, Google Voice · · Score: 3, Funny

    to see the next hollywood blockbuster movie.

    See? We can play that game too.

  14. Re:Eh..... on Google and Microsoft Both Want To Stop Dual-Boot Windows/Android Device · · Score: 1

    Can't you use Boot Camp for Linux or any other operating system?

  15. Re:Give me homebrew anyday. on Lies Programmers Tell Themselves · · Score: 1

    I agree 100%. When it comes time to do something the framework can't, it's even worst because you have to understand the black box in order to modify it. And then comes the fun part of updating said framework and adding your modifications again, hoping you won't have to go through the whole black box every time if it breaks your modifications.

    You want to see a really badly designed framework, check out ExpressionEngine. Its templating system and parsing order from hell will make you vomit from the horror of a templating system written (ExpressionEngine) inside a framework system (CodeIgniter) written in a templating language (PHP).

  16. Ninety-ninety rule on Lies Programmers Tell Themselves · · Score: 2

    "The first 90 percent of the code accounts for the first 90 percent of the development time. The remaining 10 percent of the code accounts for the other 90 percent of the development time." — Tom Cargill, Bell Labs

  17. Re:All at your expense on Google and Microsoft Both Want To Stop Dual-Boot Windows/Android Device · · Score: 1

    And in the meantime, Apple had Boot Camp since early versions of OS X and are also providing the Windows drivers for their own computers.

    Welcome to 2014. Apple are the good guys.

  18. Re:It can't be! on Weak Apple PRNG Threatens iOS Exploit Mitigations · · Score: 0

    Not sure if the troll mod comes from my blind trust in Apple written in the form of a joke, or from my own oversized Android display size and stupid model number signature troll.

  19. Re:Monoprice on Happy Pi Day · · Score: 1

    Use code "Pi314".

  20. Monoprice on Happy Pi Day · · Score: 1

    Monoprice has a "3.14% off your next order" sale going on, only for today.

    I also hate when people use slashes or dots to write dates.

  23. Re:How Steve Jobs got iPhone to Japan. Real story. on How Steve Jobs Got the iPhone Into Japan · · Score: 0

    If the only games I care about are Zelda and Metroid, you won't see me buying an Xbox or Playstation. The same goes for the japanese players. The Xbox failed because it only mostly had western-style first-person shooter games and not enough RPG games.

  24. Re:Ideal case for an electric vehicle... on What If the Next Presidential Limo Was a Tesla? · · Score: 1

    I wonder if you could replace all the plating with some sort of multiple laminated kevlar layers.

  25. Solar panels on What If the Next Presidential Limo Was a Tesla? · · Score: 1

    Given that the american presidential limo is more or less 500 meters long, how about putting solar panels on its roof?
