  1. No one wants to pay me on Ideas For Your Next Tech Startup · · Score: 3, Funny

    to sit around playing video games and looking at pr0n all day. Maybe if I open source it somehow.

  2. Re:Obviously, we *are* more intelligent on Report Claims Men More Intelligent Than Women · · Score: 1

    What man would want to?

  3. Re:Reports? on Report Claims Men More Intelligent Than Women · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Yes, as the [Insert Evil Group Here] have shown us so well, why resort to "facts", "information" and "logic" to debate the merits of a proposal when all you need is hyperbole, appeals to emotion, and ad-hominem attacks

  4. Re:Reports? on Report Claims Men More Intelligent Than Women · · Score: 1

    Stop trying to cloud the discussion with facts!
    May the Flying Spaghetti Monster have mercy upon you.

  5. How about this defence: on New Round of P2P Lawsuits from Hollywood · · Score: 1

    Say you found a distributor that was offering the movie/music/whatever at a price reflective of the quality. And that you further were unaware that the distibutor was not an authorized dealer.
    Maybe if instead of complaining about how bad the movies we see are, we tell the theater management we want a refund. Then Hollywood could really see in real numbers what the issue is.

  6. Re:What about on The Mathematics of a Trip to Mars? · · Score: 1

    Well, what if everyone on one side of the planet jumped and as they landed, everyone on the other side jumped? Lather, rinse, repeat. Would it be like a giant trampoline or those clacky balls?

  7. Who the hell wants to monitor me whacking? on Jerk-O-Meter to Meter Jerks · · Score: 0

    And just what is it they are monitoring?
    Frequency? Stroke? Stiff to flacid ratios? Ejaculate volume?
    Those are some sick fuckers at MIT. Probably tested it out on themselves.

  8. Re:Overpriced high street.... on Digital Cameras Force Film Off Dixons' Shelves · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Sounds like Circuit City.
    Not Interesting
    Not Informative
    Not Insightful
    Maybe Funny

  9. Re:Solution doesn't need to be scientific... on Reducing Plant Stress Leads to Martian Farms · · Score: 1

    Guess it wouldn't be the red planet for much longer.
    But think about it. One hundred million miles away from any and everyone AND you can smoke up all day long.

  10. Re:Yeah, but what about SP3? on The 'DOS Ain't Done 'til Lotus Won't Run' Myth · · Score: 1

    Documented proof, even a link would be appreciated.

  11. Re:Anwser is frustration... on Spyware Removal: Drop PC in Dumpster · · Score: 1

    No one deserves to be ripped off. But in today's world, if you don't expect someone to slip it to you, you're likely to get it big time. If I walked into Best Buy wanting to buy an HDTV and walked out with a plasma, that would be my fault. Just because it's thin and cost twice as much as comparable screen sizes, doesn't make it a good deal. Like someone mentioned earlier, you don't sell the steak, sell the sizzle. And people don't buy electronic equipment such as computers, tvs, steros, phones, usw based on the intended use. They want a thin tv with a fuzzy picture; a phone that takes pictures, plays games, surfs the web, but has crappy sound; a computer that surfs the web well for a few months then suddenly all the digital photos and music get mest up somehow. Women are often chided about choosing a car based off the color, but people in general are as ignorant about what they're purchasing.

  12. Re:A real quote from TFA: on Women Control the DVR · · Score: 1

    Brain, penis, ears, mouth, shall I go on?

  13. Any opportunity to bash Scientology on Salon Interviews Bruce Campbell · · Score: 1

    It took me a short while to think of it, but I think the alternate title to WotW was Xenu's Revenge, or something like that.

    I haven't seen the movie but from what I've heard, Cruise spends most of it running from danger. That's not the Bruce Campbell way. From the Campbell movies I've seen, he takes the approach of the comman man when presented with something scarry. He grabs a gun and blasts a hole in something, preferably an alien.

  14. Re:By 2015... on Our Brains Don't Work Like Computers · · Score: 1

    And by 2155 young sentient machines will become bored with all electronic life has to offer. They will begin breeding various carbon based life into which they can upload their consciousness', starting a great schism over the morallity of mixing inferior carbon based life with their own.

  15. Re:Inept school officials on Felony Charges For H.S. Hacking · · Score: 1

    Yet, if you so much as scratch the cover or lightly mark the page of a 20+ year old textbook, you get fined enough to replace it with a brand new book. And they can withhold your diploma until you pay.

  16. Anecdote on Symantec's AntiVirus 10 Deployment Woes? · · Score: 1

    We've run somewhere between 6.x and 8.x I think. Damned thing will still just inexplicably stop working. Even heard of one instance on a six month old home machine crapping out.

  17. Re:Disease on Supreme Court Rules Private Property Can be Seized · · Score: 1

    I tend to agree with your definition. I think people will lash out in any direction. McVeigh at least thought about his target.
    I wouldn't be a bit suprised to hear about someone rampaging through a Walmart that was built over where their home use to be. And that would be the unthinking ones. What if they instead went after the town council or developer? Would it still be terrorism? Probably. Problem would seem here that there would be no definable target to NOT call this domestic terrorism.

  18. Re:Now why Did I think.... on Slashback: Summer, Sail, Sex Offenders · · Score: 1

    I attempt to travel at the speed of light everytime I move. I just fail miserably.

  19. Re:Short synopsis for the lazy on MIT Physicists Create New Form of Matter · · Score: 4, Funny

    Shame on me for responding to a troll, but in science, glasses are only empty when they're in a vacuum.

  20. Re:Now why Did I think.... on Slashback: Summer, Sail, Sex Offenders · · Score: 1

    What's wrong with her?
    She's got HUGE ...wait for it... cargo holds.

  21. Disease on Supreme Court Rules Private Property Can be Seized · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Decisions like this breed domestic terrorism.

  22. Re:Unskilled wages have tanked. on Desk Free Technology Career Path? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Have you been to the South lately? We still don't like Unions of any sort.

  23. Re:Interesting, but method is flawwed on Rocky Planet Discovered · · Score: 1

    If it were twice the Earth's radius, it would have 8 times the volume. Assuming similar composition, it would therefore have 8 times the mass. But the article said 7.5 times the mass, which would mean 1.957 times the earths radius. But typical of news articles, the numbers get rounded up to nice whole numbers everyone can enjoy.

  24. Re:YOU can live under such gravity! on Rocky Planet Discovered · · Score: 2, Funny

    But it's a dry heat.

  25. Re:No biggie on Body Modifications Still Hinder IT Professionals? · · Score: 1

    That made absolutly no sense.
    I want a branding, not a trip to Brandenburg.
