  1. Worst Tech on The Best and Worst Technologies of 2003? · · Score: 1

    Glowing fish have got to rank up there somewhere...

  2. Re:Science on Kermit Alive and Well on the Space Station · · Score: 1

    They're hoping some day we'll find the rainbow connection.

  3. Contamination on Japanese Mars Probe Failing · · Score: 1

    Is the probe some sort of genesis torpedo that will turn Mars into a lush rainforest planet on impact? Even if it does contaminate its crash site, or even everything within a few thousand miles of it, it's not likely to interfere with the next 3 probes' search for fossilized bacteria. I understand it's not ideal for good science, but if it happens...big deal.

  4. AWESOME! on Universities Dispute with Red Hat over 'Fedora' · · Score: 1

    If RedHat has to change the name of their project, my copy of Fedora will be worth more!

  5. say what? on A Practical Approach To Shushing Your PC · · Score: 1

    with ventilation shafts which follow a number of 180-degree turns, and

    180 degrees isn't a turn...it's a line...

  6. How it works on Warfare at the Speed of Light · · Score: 1

    Written on the grenade: "Pick me up" ...

  7. Implants? on Microchip Could Replace Pills · · Score: 1

    I'd rather swallow the pill. Heck, I'd rather get a shot.

  8. One Problem on New Method To Generate Electricity from Water · · Score: 1

    Keanu Reeves is the only person who knows the right frequencies to get it to work.

  9. Re:soiled prayers on Strike on Iraq · · Score: 1

    I believe Pearl Harbor counts as our soil.

  10. Re:Quatrain 1,81 on Columbia Coverage · · Score: 1

    From the human flock nine will be sent away

    Maybe the two missing crew members could have helped.

  11. mighty mouse on Human-Mouse Hybrids? · · Score: 1

    If a mouse can be part human, maybe humans aren't so special after all. And then if a god can be part human, maybe I should stop there.

  12. the FBI has to feel pretty lame for that.. on Uncap Your Modem, Get Visit From the FBI · · Score: 2, Funny

    Drop your carrier, we have you surrounded!

  13. Arizona on Humans Use 83 Percent of Earth's Surface · · Score: 1

    That's the other 17%

  14. Friendship on Build Your Own Cyclotron · · Score: 5, Funny

    Now that's a real friend..someone who helps you build your own cyclotron.

  15. When will they learn? on Why Software Piracy is Good for Microsoft · · Score: 1

    Downloading a song isn't the same as going into a music store and walking off with a CD. For one, if I did that the music store would be short 1 CD. The person I download the song from still has their copy. Besides, I'd never actually buy a CD containing most of the cheezy songs I download, even if there was no other way to get it. But I suppose the best way to win over your customers is to call them thieves.

  16. LEGO LotR on LoTR:LEGO Originals · · Score: 1

    Hey I made a set of LOTR lego figures once.. complete with LEGO-lass, the scottish elf girl.

  17. uh..heh on Students Outpacing Teachers With Online Skills · · Score: 1

    I don't know why I even bothered to read something that came from a thing called "The Christian Science Monitor".

    I've noticed that whereas the youngsters learn about new technology quickly, they have a very shallow understanding of computers in general. In short, they tend to be the "skript kiddie" as opposed to "coder", to put it in l33t h4x0r terms.

  18. What the hell? on Broadband To Hit The South Pole · · Score: 2, Funny

    The south pole gets broadband before *I* do in Ohio????

  19. oops, missed something.. on RIAA Smacked by DoS · · Score: 1

    Fine print:

    "A peer-to-peer network may use any means necessary to defend itself against this attack including, but not limited to: DoS, pipe bombs, and buying off congresscritters."

  20. interplanetary taxi on Slashback: Assembly, Avoidance, Civility · · Score: 2, Funny

    Hey, when this asteroid zips past in 2019, can we throw a net over it and hitch a ride to mars?

  21. But... on U.S. Developing 100-Kilowatt Laser for Strike Fighters · · Score: 1

    All I want is SHARKS with FRIKKIN laser beams on their heads. IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK?

  22. Finally! on MPAA Goes After Its Customers · · Score: 2, Funny

    Now we can have all sorts of fun with the MPAA. Since my gnutella client is open source, I can modify it to pick up on the MPAA's snooping, and send a note to all the other guys out there to start pinging that IP address. But why stop there? Send it dummy information or write a program that sits around on the gnutella network pretending to have copyrighted stuff (speaking of false positives). The possibilities are endless...

  23. Re:Nothing to Fear...uhh.. on New Amiga Hardware Runs Mac OS · · Score: 1

    Please pardon the comma splice and indefinite pronoun. Long day.

  24. Nothing to Fear on New Amiga Hardware Runs Mac OS · · Score: 1

    Apple's got nothing to fear, people buy Macs because they're "cute".

  25. silence! on Copyright Battle Over Nothing · · Score: 1

    Hey does anyone have that mp3? I'd like to download it and crank up the volume so the silence drowns out all the noise around here.
