  1. I have to wait until MAY? on First 26 Pages of Neal Stephenson's New Novel "Seveneves" Online · · Score: 1

    Neal, you tease.

  2. Re:An Odd Bird on First 26 Pages of Neal Stephenson's New Novel "Seveneves" Online · · Score: 1

    yeah, what was it, "an imperial pint"?

    (shudder)

    TWENTY OUNCES!

    ba-da-bing!

  3. The Mote in God's Eye on Can Civilization Reboot Without Fossil Fuels? · · Score: 1

    The Moties always start a new cycle by jumping straight to fusion.

    Saves a lot of time...

  4. Re:Boring on Tatooine Youth Suspected In Terrorist Attack · · Score: 1

    "News Radio" did it better.

  5. Re:Moving Infected People on Gates: Large Epidemics Need a More Agile Response · · Score: 4, Insightful

    As I said, not moved far.

    Take that as "moved as little as possible".

    If they are in a city, move them to the closest hospital IN THAT CITY.

    With the last ebola mess, they were flying obviously infected people all over the place.

  6. Moving Infected People on Gates: Large Epidemics Need a More Agile Response · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I don't think infected individuals should be moved, or at least not moved far.

    The number one concern is to limit contamination, so quarantine should be as absolute as possible.

    Hard hearted? Maybe, but definitely practical.

  7. Re:M-16? on Cody Wilson Wants To Help You Make a Gun · · Score: 1

    Actually, it does. You insert a blank aluminum billet (held in the right jig), and you get back a completed receiver.

    The jigs are 3-D printed. With the right jig, almost any smallish aluminum gadget can be produced.

  8. Re:He's dead Jim on Leonard Nimoy Dies At 83 · · Score: 1

    Well, shit.

    I need a drink.

  9. Re:WTF? on Quantum Physics Just Got Less Complicated · · Score: 2

    Heisenberg was walking in a field on a chilly night, looking at the stars, when it came to him.

    Really.

  10. That's pretty cool on New Cargo Ship Is 488 Meters Long · · Score: 4, Funny

    162 C below zero

  11. Re:Online news on Is a "Wikipedia For News" Feasible? · · Score: 2

    Your news site is DOA.

    I can't even LOOK at it without "signing up"?

    I can at least LOOK at EVERY OTHER NEWS SITE without giving them my info.

    Loose the sign in requirement, or go away.

  12. Re:You've got to be kidding me on An Algorithm to End the Lines for Ice at Burning Man · · Score: 1

    Figure out how much ice you will need.

    Get some relatively cheap, thick Styrofoam coolers.

    Put the ice in the coolers, cover with dry ice.

    Put the coolers in the shade.

    (Use gloves to move the dry ice around.)

  13. Re:Oracle bad habbits on Oracle Database Certifications Are No Longer Permanent · · Score: 1

    Gaaaaaah!

    I HATE Oracle date "logic".

  14. Re:Credit cards? on Home Depot Says Breach Affected 56 Million Cards · · Score: 1

    It is a credit union. It's the fact that it's a debit card that they are charging me.

  15. Re:Credit cards? on Home Depot Says Breach Affected 56 Million Cards · · Score: 2

    I was just informed my DEBIT card is on the list, and it's going to cost me $25 to have it replaced.

    The least those assholes at THD could do would be to pay for that.

  16. Re:Too boring, didn't read. on Interviews: Andrew "bunnie" Huang Answers Your Questions · · Score: 1

    Reading is for suckas?

    Good luck hacking without doing some reading, much of it "boring".

  17. Executive Branch on The New 501(c)(3) and the Future of Open Source In the US · · Score: 0

    The IRS falls under the Executive Branch, and the current executive has not been shy about using the IRS to aid his friends, and hurt his enemies.

    I have to suppose he considers open source an enemy.

  18. Small Scale Chip Manufacturing? on Interviews: Ask Andrew "bunnie" Huang About Hardware and Hacking · · Score: 1

    Where do you see small scale chip manufacturing, up to and including custom multi core CPU's, going in the near future?

  19. Re:Worse than Dilithium crystals on NASA's Broken Planet-hunter Spacecraft Given Second Life · · Score: 2

    Weight.

  20. Re:5 year mission on NASA's Broken Planet-hunter Spacecraft Given Second Life · · Score: 1

    Not their fault. Their engineer fell for some hot Klingon chicks.

  21. Re:First Contact on NASA Honors William Shatner With Distinguished Public Service Medal · · Score: 3, Funny

    Gorn chicks are hotter.

    And scalier.

  22. Time to Join the Collective on Netflix Gets What It Pays For: Comcast Streaming Speeds Skyrocket · · Score: 1

    The other evil empire (AT&T) is royally screwing us via U-Verse, jacking up every fee, every month.

    We are thinking about dumping U-Verse and getting JUST internet from Comcast (no land line, no cable).

    We can get about 50 digital channels over the air, plus streaming.

    YOU WILL BE ASSIMILATED!

  23. Re:I think this is bullshit on Brendan Eich Steps Down As Mozilla CEO · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Free Speech took a shot to the head. Political Correctness bullshit seems to trump it, every damn time.

    Frankly NOW I'm thinking of totally dumping Firefox.

  24. Re:April Fools stories are gay on OKCupid Warns Off Mozilla Firefox Users Over Gay Rights · · Score: 1

    Hate Speech?

    Care to link to that? Or did you just make it up?

  25. Re:April Fools stories are gay on OKCupid Warns Off Mozilla Firefox Users Over Gay Rights · · Score: 3, Insightful

    PROSECUTED? Are you frakking SERIOUS, or is this some lame 4/1 type joke?

    The man gave his own funds to a campaign for a proposition, and you think he should be PROSECUTED?
