  3. Re:Nightmare on MIT Researchers Develop Autonomous Indoor Robocopter · · Score: 1

    Fast rotating blades at neck altitude sounds less like Minority Report than The Twilight Zone Movie to me.

  4. Watch out on When Do You Fire a Headhunter? · · Score: 1

    A lot of companies won't even take calls from headhunters. You may be shooting yourself in the foot by hiring one in the first place.

  5. Re:Wow on Palm Frees Up webOS Development · · Score: 4, Funny

    It's all in the wrist.

  6. Re:Developer needed - Pop-up antivirus, LLC on Fake Antivirus Overwhelming Scanners · · Score: 1

  7. Re:Refocus malware views on Auto-Detecting Malware? It's Possible · · Score: 2, Funny

    Consumer protection laws? Hmmm, I don't think the bank lobbyists in DC are going to be in favor of that.

  8. Give all the money to me on Google Project 10^100 Reaches Voting Phase · · Score: 0, Troll

    That's the best philanthropic idea I came up with.

  9. How powerful are car computers? on "Right To Repair" Bill Advances In Massachusetts · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Can I overclox0r them and play Crysis?

  10. Re:Spiderman 4. on Sam Ramji, Microsoft's Open Source Guru, Is Moving On · · Score: 1

    I can't believe this got modded down. Their names are strangely similar.

  11. Re:Liberals know what's best for everyone on Risk Aversion At Odds With Manned Space Exploration · · Score: 1

    Whereas conservatives *know* what's best for everyone, and they *know* that risking lives is worth it for foreign wars, and so will fight anyone and everyone.

  12. Re:In those days coders could actually code on A Look Back At Star Raiders · · Score: 1

    They weren't ported -- they were completely rewritten from scratch for each new machine.

    How else are you going to explain Pac Man for the 2600?

  13. Re:Nintendo DX of e-books on Asus Plans Dual-Display E-Reader · · Score: 1

    Yes, but The Onion predicted that. They didn't predict a dual display e-book.

  14. Nintendo DX of e-books on Asus Plans Dual-Display E-Reader · · Score: 3, Funny

    It's an overstuffed Nintendo DX for reading e-books? Asus Christ.

  15. Re:Lead on Privacy, Mobile Phones, and Ubiquitous Data Collection · · Score: 1

    Too late. Last time I was at the mall, some guy tried to sell me a lead sticker that "blocked radiation" from a phone.

  16. Re:Hulk vs Donald Duck on Disney Buys Marvel For $4B · · Score: 1

    Considering DC Comics is owned by Warner Bros., we might finally see Donald vs. Daffy.

    So you're saying this mouse doesn't work on windows?

  18. Re:Umm... on New Logitech Dark Field Mice Operate On Glass · · Score: 4, Funny

    Mice that work on any surface have existed for years. They use an amazing technology called a "ball."

  19. Intelligent Design vs. Evolution on Poor Design Choices In the Star Wars Universe · · Score: 1

    I don't think it's fair to say the Star Wars universe was intelligently designed; there's simply no proof of this. Yet there's plenty of evidence suggesting evolution. Just look at the Wookie for example. Who would design such a thing? Or whatever Jar Jar Binks is. Clearly, this is a product of evolution, not ID.

  20. Re:Quality Journalism? on Murdoch Demands Kindle Users' Info · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Right, because if you're against one entertainment "news" network, you're obviously in favor of their competitor. I commend your logic.

  21. Re:Commander Keen on Which Game Series Would You Reboot? · · Score: 1

    Um, no. Keen's cartoonishness would never work in a 3d world.

  22. Re:Physics? on MIT Electric Car May Outperform Rival Gas Models · · Score: 4, Funny

    That will be especially useful when the car travels back to the 1950's.

  23. Re:Outperform? on MIT Electric Car May Outperform Rival Gas Models · · Score: 1

    8) Cook, clean, and work for me while I relax at the beach.

  24. Re:Finally on First New Nuclear Reactor In a Decade On Track · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Or we could just, you know, turn off computers that we're not using.

  25. Re:The hardware sucked too on Negroponte Sees Sugar As OLPC's Biggest Mistake · · Score: 1

    The version I saw definitely did not have rubberized keys. Perhaps they learned their lesson after the brutal treatment the trade show attendees gave the devices.

    Microsoft Surface, on the other hand, did not have a scratch or dent. But that's likely because attendees were not allowed to touch it.
