  1. No problemo on Pacific Northwest Lab's Sensor-Packed Fish Gauges Hydropower Facilities · · Score: 3, Funny

    The pressure change, they found, is akin to traveling from sea level to the top of Mount Everest in blink of an eye.

    That's not a problem since fishes can't blink.

  2. Re:Fascistbook ... on Government Data Requests To Facebook Up By 24% · · Score: 1

    http://fascistbook.com/ is already taken, but there's no website on it as of this writing.

  3. Re:I will never have Facebook on Government Data Requests To Facebook Up By 24% · · Score: 1

    Friends don't let friends use Facebook.

  4. Ha! on Android 5.0 Makes SD Cards Great Again · · Score: 5, Funny

    I would just like to point out that iOS users never had any problems with built-in SD card readers.

  5. Butterfly? on Revitalizing Medical Imaging With Ultrasound-On-a-Chip · · Score: 2

    I remember another "Butterfly Something" company that also had a "Something-On-a-Chip" product, are they related?

  6. Any device? on Google Releases Open Source Nogotofail Network Traffic Security Testing Tool · · Score: 4, Funny

    Nogotofail works on Android, iOS, Linux, Windows, Chrome OS, OSX, and "in fact any device you use to connect to the Internet."

    There's nothing for the e-ink Kindle nor the Nintendo DSi, you insensitive clod!

  7. Re:Finally.. on American Express Seeks To Swap Card Numbers For Secure Tokens · · Score: 3, Funny

    PCI is long dead, everyone has moved to PCIe by now.

  8. Re:Thank you, Presidents Reagan and Clinton. on The Plane Crash That Gave Us GPS · · Score: 4, Funny

    These guys are just an actor and a saxophone player, what's there to talk about?

  9. Re:Refund in cash? on Court Order: Butterfly Labs Bitcoins To Be Sold · · Score: 1

    If they refund using the value of Bitcoins at the time of purchase, then fine. If they refund with today's value, I'd prefer Bitcoins, just in case in goes up again.

  10. Refund in cash? on Court Order: Butterfly Labs Bitcoins To Be Sold · · Score: 2

    The order also gives the receiver authorization to convert the bitcoins "to cash on a systematic and reasoned basis." The justification for this measure is at least to ostensibly create reserves with which refunds for Butterfly Labs' customers may be paid.

    If I had acquired my Bitcoins when they were worth over 800$USD, I would sure as hell prefer to be refunded in Bitcoins.

  11. Re:No man is an island on Online Payment Firm Stripe Boots 3D Gun Designer Cody Wilson's Companies · · Score: 1

    Dogecoins, of course.

  12. Re:Bitcoin... on Online Payment Firm Stripe Boots 3D Gun Designer Cody Wilson's Companies · · Score: 4, Funny

    Yeah! Screw those paper bills that can't be traced back and gives you anonymity, let's do something illegal with Bitcoins and its wonderful blockchain instead!

  13. Re:Graphics look terrible on Internet Archive Launches Arcade of Classic Games In the Browser · · Score: 1

    Even the marquees are in the wrong aspect ratio.

  14. Re:"vector games are an issue"... on Internet Archive Launches Arcade of Classic Games In the Browser · · Score: 1

    900 games, 850 of which I've never heard of, and the two that I look for aren't there. I want a refund.

    Here you go.

  15. Re:Sweet!! on Internet Archive Launches Arcade of Classic Games In the Browser · · Score: 2

    Leonardo DiCaprio, is that you?

  16. Re:Sweet!! on Internet Archive Launches Arcade of Classic Games In the Browser · · Score: 4, Funny

    ...clearly the game has got something to it which stands the test of time.

    Of course it does. Her name is Chun-Li.

  17. Re:Sweet!! on Internet Archive Launches Arcade of Classic Games In the Browser · · Score: 2

    The 3D games become worst with age because of advances in technology.

    The 2D games, on the other hand, age much more gracefully since there's a limit to what you can do in 2D, apart from adding lighting and glowing effects. I can still look at Super Metroid and think it's fine, but Zelda on the Nintendo 64 looks like crap by comparison. And Zelda is newer than Super Metroid.

  18. Re:Intel's new Tock-Tick release cycle ... on Intel To Expand Core M Broadwell Line With Faster Dual-Core Processors · · Score: 4, Funny

    If they keep lowering their CPU clock speeds like that, their competition is going to be Atmel.

  19. Bitcoin client, eh? on Trisquel 7 Released · · Score: 1

    But is there any IDE for Arduino and is there any support for RepRap 3D printers?

  20. Re:There is no shortage on The Great IT Hiring He-Said / She-Said · · Score: 1

    Yeah, sorry about that. My script was supposed to send my résume to one million companies but I messed up my for loop and it all ended up at your place. Sorry about that.

  21. Re:Why hire? on The Great IT Hiring He-Said / She-Said · · Score: 1

    Why hire when you can get H1-B visa workers for peanuts on the dollar?

    There just one problem with your plan: too many people that are allergic to peanuts these days.

    "Please note that on this page, our email addresses have been slightly mis-spelled to reduce spam. This should make no difference to job applicants, as spelling is no longer taught in school."

  24. They're already building it on China Plans To Build a Domestic Robotics Industry · · Score: 1

    Haven't you guys seen all the latest Chinese 3D printers? They already have a domestic robotics industry and it's self-replicating!

  25. Re:how many sales are forced? on Windows 8 and 8.1 Pass 15% Market Share, Windows XP Drops Below 20% Mark · · Score: 3, Funny

    Little squares. That's the future of computing.

    Now that's a pretty dystopian world. Worse than Blade Runner.

    If you prefer little squares with rounded corners, you can buy a Mac.
