  1. Re:Vanity on The Big Hangup At Burning Man Is Cell Phones · · Score: 2, Funny

    Bitcoins

  2. Re:obvious on Solar Eruption To Reach Earth Soon · · Score: 1

    The CME happened right before the ice comet hit the Sun. We could also speculate that aliens fired that ice coment into the Sun to diminish the strength of the CME, hence saving all our asses.

  3. Re:Free speech on Canadian Hotel Sues Guest For $95K Over Bad Review, Bed Bugs · · Score: 1

    Holy hell, heat up a room to 120 or even over 140? Are you fucking insane, water boils at 100!

  4. Re:A whole news post on For Overstated Claims, Gore, Tesla Upbraided By NWS, NHTSA Respectively · · Score: 1

    I think you mean category 6S. And let the NHTSA and/or NWS copyright the term "6S" too, just so that Apple has to go from iPhone 6 to iPhone 7 in one step for a change.

  5. Still funny as hell on Ballmer To Retire · · Score: 4, Funny

    There is never a perfect time for this type of transition, but now is the right time.

    I love how he can state something as truth at the beginning of a sentence and then make a fool of himself by the end of it.

  6. Re:Expensive for a 2.5D scanner on Makerbot Desktop 3D Scanner Goes On Sale · · Score: 1

    D'oh, you're right of course. But still, the problem lies with the scanner, not my bad choice of words.

  7. Expensive for a 2.5D scanner on Makerbot Desktop 3D Scanner Goes On Sale · · Score: 2

    It seems to be like it's only a 2.5D scanner. Trying to scan a bowl would result in a half-sphere model.

  8. Re:Hello tech support? on NASDAQ Trading Halted Due To "Technical Issue" · · Score: 1

    I find the bit about Windows Vista even funnier.

  9. Re:Oh come on... on Internet.org's Slave and Helicopter-Powered Internet · · Score: 1

    You've been watching Internet porn for the last decade and a half. On the upside, your right arm is now allowed to enter the Mr. Universe contest.

  10. Re:Fantasists on Dentist Wants To Clone John Lennon Using DNA Extracted From Lennon's Tooth · · Score: 1

    http://hentai3d.xxx (Totally NSFW)

  11. Re:Less data? on Internet.org: Altruistic, Or the Ultimate In Cynicism? · · Score: 1

    It's not about 50KB of disk space, it's about transmitting that superfluous 50KB of data to each and every browser.

  12. Re:Just dig a really deep hole on US States Banned From Exporting Trash To China Are Drowning In Plastic · · Score: 2

    I remember those two episodes.

  13. Less data? on Internet.org: Altruistic, Or the Ultimate In Cynicism? · · Score: 1

    The partnership will also work on ways to lower the amount of data necessary to power most apps and Internet experiences

    Really? So no more jQuery, no more Javascript libraries of which only 5% of the functions are used? No more 100KB+ JPEG photos and no more bloated HTML code?

    Call me cynical but these days it's almost a miracle to find a web page which totals less than 100KB.

  14. Re:Trust on Google Chrome 29 Is Out: Omnibox Suggestions, Profile Resetting · · Score: 1

    How about version 2013-08-20?

  15. Re:DOES IT COME WITH NSA? on Google Chrome 29 Is Out: Omnibox Suggestions, Profile Resetting · · Score: 1

    Google Krome.

    A reference to the KGB, Kremlin, etc. I like it.

  16. Canada? on PS4 Launch Date: November 15th · · Score: 1

    Google tells me that with the current exchange rate, the PS4 should sell for 414.44 Canadian dollars. You can bet your ass that it won't be as low as that, I'm expecting at least 429 or even 449. And every Canadian pays a sales tax which varies from 5 to 15% depending on the province.

  17. Re:Fresh Direct on Amazon Angling For Same-Day Delivery Beyond Groceries · · Score: 3, Funny

    And when the electricity is out and you can't use the Internet anymore, use your Flesh Light.

  18. Re:enough already on Can There Be Open Source Music? · · Score: 1
  19. Wait a minute on Report: By 2035, Nearly 100 Million Self-Driving Cars Will Be Sold Per Year · · Score: 1

    Self-driving cars in the future? You mean regular cars on the road, still? Where's my jetpack, damnit!

  20. Re:They will all be sold on Report: By 2035, Nearly 100 Million Self-Driving Cars Will Be Sold Per Year · · Score: 1

    If there's a place that needs cars that drives themselves, it's China. I'm not racist or anything, but if you search for "china car accident" on YouTube, you'll find some insane shit.

  21. It's not that hard on The Cryonics Institute Offers a Chance at Immortality (Video) · · Score: 1

    I put a fly in the freezer for a week, let it unfreeze on the table at room temperature after that. After an hour or two, it flew away.

    The weird thing is, a week later I received a job offer from Veridian Dynamics.

  22. Re:You misspelled "tomorrow!" on The Cryonics Institute Offers a Chance at Immortality (Video) · · Score: 1

    He didn't. By the time you get unfrozen, the World Leader will be Tom Morrow.

  23. Re:The only good thing that could come out of this on DARPA Fears Big Data Could Become Big Threat · · Score: 1

    I would welcome governments shutting down social websites, but after that they would probably start thinking about shutting down any websites where people gather, such as arcadecontrols.com

    Because you know, someone could block traffic trying to bring home his Frogger machine that's been rigged to a car battery to keep his high score alive.

  24. Re:Did they try this? on Four Month Mars Food Study Wraps Up · · Score: 1

    I think you're a bit confused, it's a new energy bar that totally looks like a Mars bar.

  25. Rabbits? DNA? on Has Anyone Seen My Rabbit? · · Score: 1
