  1. Re:Based on their results on Study Finds Video Games Are Not Bad for Kids · · Score: 1

    Thanks, I was looking for the origin of that joke.
    As a gaming raver (raving gamer?), that one cracked me up first time around.

  2. Re:Based on their results on Study Finds Video Games Are Not Bad for Kids · · Score: 4, Funny

    Video games don't influence young people.
    Otherwise we'd all be listening to repetetive electronic music and eating pills all day ; )

  3. Re:What is truth. on Berners-Lee Wants Truth Ratings For Websites · · Score: 1

    There is no truth.
    There is only perception.
    Therefore the whole concept(of a truthiness rating)is moot.

    Lori: JOETHEAPPLEGUY, are you all right?

    JOETHEAPPLEGUY: Hmm.
    Lori: My poor baby. This is getting to be an obsession

  5. Re:Drug Dealer on Successful Moonlighting For Geeks? · · Score: 1

    Apparently it's from the oh-and-it's-gotta-be-legal dept.
    As for your following suggestion;
    "I'd suggest you take a little trip down to the "bad" part of your town and start talking to the guys you see standing around on the street corners", this song springs to mind:

    Well he looked down at my silver chain He said I'll give you one dollar
    I said you've got to be jokin' man It was a present from me mother
    He said I like it I want it I'll take it off your hands
    And you'll be sorry you crossed me You'd better understand that you're alone
    A long way from home.

  7. Re:I still don't know what you want pictures of on Advanced Surveillance Tech for Unmanned Drones Credited In Iraq · · Score: 1

    Well, I would like a picture of the house Osama bin Laden is in.
    And a picture of the same house with an OBL shaped infra-red blob and shadow.
    And a cross-hair.
    And pictures of the remains of the house after it was nuked from orbit.
    High resolution please.

    But seriously, I was only joking about the pictures.

  8. TTL FUD. on Advanced Surveillance Tech for Unmanned Drones Credited In Iraq · · Score: 1

    "Part of the capabilities appear to be that the unmanned flying drones can track targets even inside of buildings." But not in Afganistan or Pakistan apparently.
    I am sorely tempted to say... pictures or it didn't happen.

  12. Cool video. on SpaceX Gets Operational License For Cape Canaveral · · Score: 1

    Very Major Tom to ground control. My kind of video. Beat it Michael Jackson.

    All that's missing is the Myth Busters.

    "with the dirty work being handled by companies that most consumers have never heard of."

    That would be the NSC.

  17. Traveling to the Secret Sun Layer. on NASA To Explore "Secret Layer" of the Sun · · Score: 1

  22. Re:I visited Thailand in 1973 on Thai Government To Close 400 Anti-government Sites · · Score: 1

    "I learnt how to drink from a bucket in Phuket."

  23. Thoughtcrime. on Thai Government To Close 400 Anti-government Sites · · Score: 2, Insightful

    "In addition, a Thai court issued three orders to shut down about 400 websites, 344 of which, it claimed, carried material that was contemptuous of the country's royal family. The other blocked websites included two with religious content, one video sex game and five sites deemed to carry obscene content."
    Ooh, contempt, content, games and obscenity. We wouldn't want any of that on our internet.

    Q: With web crackdowns like this becoming more and more frequent do you think we will start to see similar (overt) activities from US and European governments?

    A: No, they'll be as covert as possible.
