  2. Re:Also time to stop on Author Says It's Time To Stop Glorifying Hackers · · Score: 1

    They're still five levels above mimes.

  3. Oh great on Nanomaterial May Be Future of Hard Drives · · Score: 3, Funny

    Something else that won't work properly in Canadian weather.

  4. Re:Pinterest on Pinterest Reveals Its First Transparency Report · · Score: 1

    Indeed. But that still doesn't explain why, of all the hundreds of "social" websites out there, Pinterest made it to the top alongside Twitter and Facebook.

  5. Re:I have your conversion right here... on Microsoft's Attempt To Convert Users From Windows XP Backfires · · Score: 1

    But don't buy a Mac mini until the next update which is more than overdue.

  6. Pinterest on Pinterest Reveals Its First Transparency Report · · Score: 1

    What exactly is the point of that website? From my point of view it went from "totally unknown" to "all pages have a Pinterest button/link next to Facebook and Twitter in their footer".

  7. Re:Bond style? Really? on LABONFOIL: A Portable Bond-Style Lab · · Score: 1

    Maybe they were referring to the portable lab that Bond used in Casino Royale.

  8. Re:Acronym on LABONFOIL: A Portable Bond-Style Lab · · Score: 0

    automated laboratory called 'LABoratory skin patches and smart cards based ON FOILs and compatible with a smartphone' (LABONFOIL).

    That's how acronyms are usually described, "Complete Name (acronym)" and the letters LAB ON FOIL are capitalized.

    This is as stupid as me writing "10 + 30 = 500" and then telling you that's not bad math, I just happened to write something that uses mathematical signs.

  9. Re:Stupid "Activist" Junk Science on Meat Makes Our Planet Thirsty · · Score: 1

    But without Detroit running amok, we wouldn't have Robocop!

    Farms in the dessert? Great, they're feeding frosted cupcakes to cattle now.

  11. Acronym on LABONFOIL: A Portable Bond-Style Lab · · Score: 0

    As far as i know this is not the way aCRONYms work, Mate.

  12. Re:If this would have happened... on Hackers Allege Mt. Gox Still Controls "Stolen" Bitcoins · · Score: 1

    Indeed, since bitcoins didn't even exist back then!

  13. Re:Canada... on WSJ: Americans' Phone Bills Are Going Up · · Score: 2

    Not to mention the lack of competition of cellphone and internet providers in small towns far from the major cities.

  14. Too expensive when not needed on iRobot CEO: Humanoid Robots Too Expensive To Be the Norm · · Score: 2

    But for projects like this one, looking humanoid is the only goal.

  15. Re:I guess this makes it official ... on iRobot CEO: Humanoid Robots Too Expensive To Be the Norm · · Score: 1

    Question: What do you get when you cross a Dalek with a Roomba?

    Computers can be used for porn, games, music, movies, work.

    In that order.

  18. Re:Underestimating kids on Amplify Education's New Intel Tablet Begs For Abuse · · Score: 1

    Since we're talking about kids, I suggest we scale back your torture test down to their level. I suggest spilling orange juice over it, leaving it in outside in hot summer sun, repeat three times before driving back and forth over it multiple times with a Big Wheel.

  19. What about migrating north? on Austin Has Highest Salaries For Tech Workers, After Factoring In Cost of Living · · Score: 2

    How about working in Canada, eh?

  20. MP3? on Portal 2 Incompatible With SELinux · · Score: 1

    And here I thought they used Vorbis.

    In short, buy AMD and nVidia stock. Especially nVidia, with their new Maxwell GPUs.

    That kind off spelling is bad four your eyesite.

    You can't escape the grave.

    Tell that to Beatrix Kiddo.

  24. Re:How big is it? on Einstein's Lost Model of the Universe Discovered 'Hiding In Plain Sight' · · Score: 1

    Every damn cycle, those stupid Vogons are late.
