  1. Re:4G only on Sprint Unveils HTC Evo 4G Super Phone · · Score: 5, Funny

    Actually the "4G" refers to the price. I hope they have a payment plan.

  2. Better headline on 1st Trial Under California Spam Law Slams Spammer · · Score: 5, Funny

    "Slamming spam lands spammer in slammer"

  3. Re:how about cellphones first? on Japan To Standardize Electric Vehicle Chargers · · Score: 4, Informative
  4. Multi-platform on China To Connect Its High-Speed Rail To Europe · · Score: 1

    It sounds crazy, but it's certainly possible to build a train that can accommodate multiple track widths. Hell, it's been done before.

  5. Google it on China To Connect Its High-Speed Rail To Europe · · Score: 1

    This way, Chinese citizens will be able to quickly leave the country to somewhere that has Google access.

  6. Freenet on China Warns Google To Obey Or Leave · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The problem is that Freenet is tough to use, I would argue it's tough even for geeks like us who read Slashdot.

    The other issue is getting the app in the first place, and getting a list of peers that aren't blocked. And when you're risking life imprisonment, it's pretty damn important that you get peers that aren't controlled by the government.

  7. Re:So.... on The 10 Most Absurd Scientific Papers · · Score: 1

    Sadly, all the copies of the paper I could find on Google Scholar were behind a paywall.

    Perhaps someone on a college campus with library access could look this up for us?

  8. Re:I'd buy his book. on Ex-Sun Chief Dishes Dirt On Gates, Jobs · · Score: 1

    Considering what happened to Sun under his tenure, aren't those two mutually exclusive?

  9. You newbie on Web Browser Grand Prix · · Score: 5, Funny

    Lynx is for newbies. Real men telnet to port 80 and type in the HTTP headers manually, then parse the response in their minds.

  10. Re:Good Technology I suppose... on Toyota Black Box Data Is More Closed Than Others' · · Score: 1

    That's ridiculous. Breaks, steering, and non-sticky accelerators are so last decade. Now days it's all about DRM.

  11. North Korea on IO Data Licenses Microsoft's "Linux Patents" · · Score: 4, Funny

    I bet Kim Jung Il didn't license those "Linux patents" from Microsoft when he rolled out Red Star. Is that grounds for attacking North Korea?

  12. Re:Linux? on Turn Your Roomba Into a Household Google Bot · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I resent that remark. I *am* a dick smoking faggot queer bitch whore, and I use OS X.

  13. Re:Google is a cult on Turn Your Roomba Into a Household Google Bot · · Score: 1

    Searching for "cult"? Take our free personality test online.

  14. Re:Ironic on North Korea's Own OS, Red Star · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Not necessarily. Free Software can be easily customized to fit the whims of a dictatorship. Proprietary software requires the cooperation of the developer and (presumably) payment to that developer.

  15. Bathroom break on Scientists Discover Booze That Won't Give You a Hangover · · Score: 1, Insightful

    That only works because you end up spending half the evening in the bathroom, and therefore consume less alcohol than your buddies.

  16. I am Sergey Brin of Borg. on Google Acquires Online Image Editing Tool Picnik · · Score: 4, Funny

    You will be assimilated. Resistance is futile.

    And here's an advertisement for something related to the picture of Britney Spears you're photoshopping.

  17. Re:I'll shoot anyone in the face who says that I'm on Another Study Attacks Violent Video Games, Claims To Be "Conclusive" · · Score: 5, Funny

    Reading your comment turned me into a violent criminal.

    And that's conclusive.

  18. Jesus Phone on What Has Your Phone Survived? · · Score: 2, Funny

    No, it's so much MORE than just a life. It's life, it's the meaning of life, and it's the afterlife.

  19. Oh yeah? on Use Open Source? Then You're a Pirate! · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Well piracy wouldn't exist without copyright law either!

  20. Re:Does anyone learn from history anymore? on Avoiding a Digital Dark Age · · Score: 1

    History is like software, it needs maintainers or it's doomed to disappear in the next version.

  21. FIFY on MySQL's Influence On the GPL · · Score: 2, Funny

    DELETE FROM comments WHERE title="MySQL sucks";

  22. Re:My research on Researchers Say Women Secretly Desire Hairy Geeks · · Score: 1

    My "standards" for internet-based polls are this: one option has to mention CowbowNeal. Otherwise the results are meaningless.

  23. Re:Ghost ridin' the whip! on Windows 7 Can Create Rogue Wi-Fi Access Point · · Score: 5, Funny

    I think you mean "ghost ride the WEP."

  24. Re:My research on Researchers Say Women Secretly Desire Hairy Geeks · · Score: 5, Insightful

    The research mentioned in the article isn't really research at all. It's based on a poll, which would assume that women know what they want. This is not a good assumption.

  25. Too late on The Blind Shall See Again, But When? · · Score: 1

    Science already invented the air filter.
