I was in college, working in the robotics lab. Within a few minutes there was a lot of speculation flying around Usenet. I wonder now whether any of it was on the right track.
I can definitely can do without the big piece of whitespace above the first line of every comment. It doesn't improve readability, it just wastes space.
Yeah. I remember seeing some old 1950s or 60s science fiction movies where the alien planet was ruled by the "Council of Science" or some such, and thinking how great it would be to live on such a world.
I hate advertising far more than most people. But one of the very few places I find ads to be acceptable is in niche magazines, like the type you mentioned.

Will these mice be members of Moussad?
I'd say they should elect a new pharaoh, but the whole thing would probably just turn into a big pyramid scheme.
Well said.

Then he should have been doing his work in Soviet Russia, as he's actually putting something into his heart.
"IFBPCPA" does sound like an obscure mnemonic in some CISC instruction set.
This applies on a per-comment basis :-).

I read comments, posts, chat messages, emails, etc. until I come to the first "lol", or 'chatsp33k' thing, then just skip the rest.

We are all Kosh.
The Foo that can be explained is not the true Foo.
Those "awesomely bad 80s graphics" were awesomely good back in, you know, the 80s.
Definitely. It's also worth remembering that Tron came out in mid-1982, and computer graphics improved at an increasing rate throughout the decade...
I have the Tron 2.0 video game, but I recall that it always crashed on my machine. Very disappointing :-(.
Oh, and in The Two Towers, please show me where the fuck it is mentioned that the Enemy had access to gun powder for a fucking bomb.

There's plenty not to like about the LotR movies, but this is something that actually worked well, I think.

You've red too much into their comments.
Yes, please do not use your jaws, everyone knows Honeycombs tear the shit out of the roof of your mouth.
I thought that was Captain Crunch? Err, the cereal, not the phreak...
Anyway, I came to the joke thread to ask whether this new device might start a new trend of hexagonal tablets.
New songs can be programmed in with C macros
I guess a C# joke would have fallen flat here.
Same here. It's still annoying at times, but once those are turned off, it's usable.
Maybe "Señor TWO" was already taken? :-)
Edible solar panels - now *there's* a patentable idea...
