  4. Re:In my country... on How Are You Celebrating National Sysadmin Day? · · Score: 1

    Are you saying system administrators and Navy SEAL are gods?

  5. Re:Sorry, I have nothing to show you on Mozilla Labs Experiment Distills Your History Into Interests · · Score: 1

    Yeah, but what kind of porn? Anal? Oral? Hentai? Furry? Tentacles? Racing cars? Homes? Fridge? Milk, eggs, coffee.

    VPNs for everyone.

  7. Re:I wonder what a scan of: on Psychopathic Criminals Have "Empathy Switch" · · Score: 1

    How about we make people pass this test to screen for psycopaths? You're flagged positive, you can't hold any job that will give you power over anyone. No politics, no police, no health care, no teaching, etc.

  8. Re:I have one ... on 13-Inch Haswell-Powered MacBook Air With PCIe SSD Tested · · Score: 1

    If you don't miss your MacBook Pro, send it to me. My 12" PowerBook G4 is getting old.

  9. Re:Proof! on DARPA Hydra: An Unmanned Sub Mothership to Deploy Drones · · Score: 2

    I'm also glad he corrected the OP. It's like the war between Vulcan and Endor*, never ending.

    * I know what I did.

  10. Re:Seriously? on How Joel Spolsky Shot Down a Microsoft Patent In 15 Minutes · · Score: 2

    I Welched on my bet and it led to a Mexican standoff with another guy who was an Indian giver. In the end we settled it with a game of Russian Roulette. It was chaos, a real Polish Parliament. In the end, the gun didn't go off and we all felt like we were Gypped and the Canadians were sorry about the whole mess even though they were not involved at all.

  11. Re:Seriously? on How Joel Spolsky Shot Down a Microsoft Patent In 15 Minutes · · Score: 1

    I hope not, because in that case the vampires are more trouble than the standoff itself.

  12. Re:Mutually Assured Destruction on How Joel Spolsky Shot Down a Microsoft Patent In 15 Minutes · · Score: 3, Funny

    The irrelevance of who?

  13. Re:Time lock on PIN-Cracking Robot To Be Showed Off At Defcon · · Score: 1

    First delay is 5 seconds, double the delay every time. We all know that story.

  14. Bad design on PIN-Cracking Robot To Be Showed Off At Defcon · · Score: 1

    Three servomotors? They built the thing like it was a delta 3D printer. They should have used 10 solenoids instead.

  15. Re:U.S., cough, international pressure much? on Crowdsourced Finnish Copyright Initiative Meets Signature Requirement · · Score: 1

    You can blame our Canadian media companies, they're the ones licensing things for decades and preventing Netflix from getting movies and TV shows.

  16. New and improved on Robotic Skin Lights Up When Touched · · Score: 2

    The Fleshlight will now come in a new Fleshlightlight version! And if it's too heavy, they're also planning a lighter version called the Fleshlightlightlite.

  17. Wallpaper? on Robotic Skin Lights Up When Touched · · Score: 1

    Only if you like extremely low-res images on your walls.

    I'm still waiting for 4x8' sheets of electronic wallpaper with decent resolution and at least 15-bit of RGB/CYMK colors.

  18. Re:Replicators! on Self-Assembling Multi-Copter Demonstrates Networked Flight Control · · Score: 1

    That might explain why my doctor found a worm in my stomach with the x-ray this morning.

  19. The American Way on Texas School District Drops Embattled RFID Student IDs; Opts For Cameras · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Treat students like prisoners.

  20. Re:White and Dark Stripes on Rethinking the Wetsuit · · Score: 2

    None, but that's because I sold them shark-repellent rocks.

    Warn: There is another system

  22. Re:give duh people wut dey want! on Yahoo Censors Tumblr Porn · · Score: 1

    I propose this new site be named bendr!

    This new site would also filter the results, but would only return things related to the lunar lander, blackjack and hookers.

  23. 57$ for gibabit internet? on Small Town Builds Its Own Gigabyte Network; Cost To Citizens $57/month · · Score: 2

    I'd still rather pay 5.70$ for 100 megabits, which would still 20 times faster than my current connection at nearly 40$ per month. Gotta love monopolies in small towns.

  24. Re:Sweden on Small Town Builds Its Own Gigabyte Network; Cost To Citizens $57/month · · Score: 2, Funny

    People with no hands? Then what's the point of Internet access?

    Wink wink, nudge nudge, say no more!

  25. Microsoft cannot compete on Microsoft's Surface RT Was Doomed From Day One · · Score: 1

    All this shows is that Microsoft cannot compete in the marketplace without a previous monopoly in place.
