  1. "The rovers has instruments"? on Mars Rovers Have Incorrect Instruments Installed · · Score: 1

    I imagine that's a bit like having a plural form of a verb in a sentence intended for a singular form?

  2. Dear Sir on Artists Against 419 Releases Mugu Marauder · · Score: 5, Funny

    Dear Verizon Subscriber:

    I am Dr. Muntange Dwambo, the nephew of the director of your internet service provider's Accepatble Use Enforcement division.

    It has come to our attention that you are consuming an unusual amount of bandwidth. I am therefore here to give you a one-time opportunity. My uncle has recently passed away, and left me in control of THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND GIGABYTES PER MONTH of bandwidth. Unfortunately that bandwidth is only available to Verizon subscribers, and that company does not yet offer their services in my native Nigeria.

  3. That would be playing god. on Human Animal Hybrid Created in Lab · · Score: 4, Funny

    God shmod, I want my monkeyman!

  4. Re:Sounds like a piracy crackdown, not a ban. on China Bans 50 Games · · Score: 1

    Because as we all know, the right to freely express yourself only applies to the good guys. At least China doesn't pretend that its citizens have those rights.

  5. Re:Carts.. on Inkjet Printer Prints out Human Skin · · Score: 1

    Sure they would. You'd be able to recognize a cheap import cartridge by the slightly off-colour tint to its products.

  6. Re:asking the hard questions: on Build Your Own Solar-Powered Scooter · · Score: 1

    But the rattled OIL OCCUPATION ARMY was no match for the assembled prayers of native circles meeting yesterday around the world! ...So there we were, in the gathering darkness, BLINDED by the oncoming lights of S.U.V.s', going the WRONG WAY down a one-way

    My god! Needless caps, bolding for no reason, semicoherent sentences... do you know what this means? This scooter is certified safe by none other than Steve Gibson!

  7. Unsecure? on 80% of WiFi Networks are still Insecure, Kismet Author Says · · Score: 5, Funny

    Shouldn't that be "insecure"? How someone could make this mistake in the day and age of internet dictionaries is unpossible to contemplate.

  8. Re:Goodbye Comcast... on Comcast Warns Infringing Customers Of Abuse · · Score: 1

    Because everyone who owns the rights to MGM's movies and can therefore legally reproduce and distribute them uses Comcast's private ISP to send 'em to thirteen year old d00dzorz in Jersey.

  9. Where do you learn these things? on Chatterbox Challenge Contest Underway · · Score: 0

    Interesting. But all things are not always are not always are not always are not....

    um... I think we need some tweaking.

  10. Re:Solar problems on Mars Rovers Update · · Score: 3, Insightful

    If the dust is electrostatically charged, what would be involved in covering the solar panels with a thin, transparent film or network of wires that is itself charged to repel this dust?

  11. Re:4791886 on Five PC Vendors Face Patent Lawsuit · · Score: 1

    Eep, sorry... typo. That's my way of dumping an old truck full of lawyers in the east river. I get my "frivolous lawsuit" numbers all screwed up.

  12. Re:Search by date on Microsoft's Search Engine Plans · · Score: 4, Funny

    Funny, I get around not being able to find my wedding photos by putting them all in a directory called WEDDING PHOTOS - THE PHOTOS OF YOUR WEDDING ARE HERE YOU TWIT

  13. Re:GAAARGH! on Five PC Vendors Face Patent Lawsuit · · Score: 4, Funny

    Please examine US Patent #4,791,886, titled "Manner in which to relieve the American Judicial System from pointless lawsuits 3B", written by me. Specifically, I refer you to page 1,136 of the document which sets out the detonation of a thermonuclear device as the best way to destroy the office. I would also point out that three of the words in sentence #11 in the second paragraph also end with the letter G, just like in your post.

    This is a serious infringement of my patent. Hire yourself a good lawyer buddy cause you're gonna get it.

  14. Re:I'm Doing My Part on SCO Offline · · Score: 1

    Obviously a sarcastic joke. The grandparent comment to this one is therefore real.

  15. Demo accident on Robots for No Man's Land · · Score: 1

    Apparently a handful of these machines was brought outside show off their skills by some idiot who couldn't read a weather forecast. Lightning ended up hitting the goddamned platform, shutting down four of the vehicles. The fifth one took off for parts unknown. If anyone sees it be sure to let us know, we would like to dis-as-semble it.

  16. Re:Not that easy... on New York City, LEGO Style · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Naw, what we need to do is create a .torrent file of all of the images on his site, and get his web server to cache that.

  17. New contest. on Microsoft's Next Virtual PC Will Run Linux · · Score: 1

    I'm offering $500,000 to the first person who can hack a virtual PC to run 007 Nightfire without actually opening it.

  18. Great site guys! on Blog Comment Spam Removal · · Score: 1

    This website is a good place for discussion of your topic. My website is a good place to buy discount Viagra. Increase your manliness and be sure to satisfy your partner. Order now and receive a carrying bag for the stacks of condoms you'll no doubt be needing.

  19. Old chips, new drives on Hard Drive Capacity Confusion, Lucidly Explained · · Score: 3, Funny

    I don't know what he's talking about; my Pentium 66 insists that 1024 x 1024 x 1024 = 1,000,000 exactly.

  20. Re:Slightly Off Topic on Codename Brutus: Chess-Playing FPGA PCI Card · · Score: 1

    Consider something simple like Tic-Tac-Toe. Because it is such a simple game we can easily calculate how much of an advantage X has over O.

    The best way to win is not to play.
    How about a nice game of Chess?

  21. Virus? on Windows Virus Takes Out Gov't Agencies in MD, PA · · Score: 3, Funny

    No problem, Sir. We'll just switch our AI on and squash this thing. Skynet is ready to go live.

  22. Re:Helios huh? on Solar Powered Helios Plane Destroyed in Test Flight · · Score: 1

    Daedalus, Icarus.... somewhere in the back of my mind reruns of The Mighty Hercules are playing non-stop. Sigh.

  23. Helios huh? on Solar Powered Helios Plane Destroyed in Test Flight · · Score: 2, Funny

    Helios? Sounds more like Daedalus to me.

  24. Re:Hit Me Baby One More Time on RIAA Apologizes for Incorrect Infringement Notice · · Score: 1
    And now we're going to put bogus mp3 files out there, to make it harder for the RIAA to find real mp3's


    This-u... bogus-u MP3 busta busta busta busta...

  25. Re:I remember saturday mornings on The Disappearance of Saturday Morning · · Score: 1

    a poorer quality of animation, ...excuse me? The Mighty Hercules anyone? Spider Man?
