  1. Re:Bye, bye. on Murdoch Says, "We'll Charge For All Our Sites" · · Score: 2, Interesting

    http://www.snopes.com/college/exam/hell.asp
    According to some hell has already frozen over and can't accept any more fallen priests.
    To get back on topic. My question is when is the sale of all of their electronic equipment going up for sale on Ebay.com?
    SCO imploded about 2 years after litigation ceased. Is Murdock going to prop up his share price with his own wealth? Or do we see the beginnings of another bailout?
       

  2. Re:How could the miss that? on Major New Function Discovered For the Spleen · · Score: 1

    In Egypt they used to remove mummy brains because they served no purpose. The heart got its very own jar. The soul was safe as long as the body remained intact. Does anyone know what happened to Walt Disney's frozen head?

  3. Re:Are you fucking kidding me? on Inflatable Tower Could Climb To the Edge of Space · · Score: 1

    Someone is stealing plot lines from Dr.Shlock on Sluggy.com What next a dimensional flux capacitor? I hope you remember to build the remote out of something other than bacon.

  4. Re:Speaking as a valve fanboy and steam early adop on The Age of Steam · · Score: 1

    Your party is starving and Timmy has been bitten by a snake.Timmy has died at the age of 7. Leave Oregon trail, YES or NO.\
    Frustrations will always be a part of the gaming environment. Reality isn't perfect either.
    I do wonder about survival of the fittest computer program type methods of games that reinvent themselves.

  5. Re:Evolution stymied? on Scientists Build an Ark To Save Jungle Amphibians · · Score: 1

    Reminds me of an old scifi horror flick. Only instead of fungi it was invasive weeds from space.
    Invasion of the Trifids. Only way to solve reduced diversity is through deliberate tampering. If it is broke then fix it.

  6. Re:Parents choose their baby's name on Designer Babies · · Score: 1

    Blatant engineering from unethical scientists combined with Marvel comics and Stan Lee what do you get? Mutants! How soon until enhancements start for somatic cell line changes? Cure the common cold first please. Practical science should always trump intelligent design.

  7. Re:DUH on Major Cache of Fossils Unearthed In Los Angeles · · Score: 2, Funny

    I just woke up from a dirt nap to find myself dangling in the air from a crane!
    What would only make this intolerable to my soul, would be to have steel rods rammed into me to prop me upright for all eternity.

  8. Second research finding! on Researchers Snag 60 TB of Everquest 2 Behavioral Data · · Score: 5, Insightful

    The Female elves aren't what they appear to be. LOL

    Don't meet offline, trust me on this!

  9. Re:The US was always the World's top wind producer on US Becomes Top Wind Producer; Solar Next · · Score: 1

    25 Gigawatts divided by 1.21 gigawatts equals 20.6 rounded down = twenty trips with the DeLorean.
    Yes, as a matter of fact I am bored right now. How ever did you guess?
      Ten trips into the past or future and an additional ten to apologise for all the mistakes made.

    Lets base our wind energy on potential uses that generate greater amounts of power such as conductive lasers to draw down lightning bolts in Florida.
    Storage will be the main problem to solve. Ten to twenty gigawatts per lightning bolt derived from a fifty MegaWatt laser could save us money. The laser could also be mounted on sharks! :^}

  10. Can this be used to cool MicroBrews? on Intel Develops Micro-Refrigerator To Cool Chips · · Score: 1

    Like revenge, they are best served cold. I'd like to chill a drink with a USB port connection with one of these.

  11. You might have to wait until.... on Most Popular Free, Arena-Style FPS? · · Score: 1

    The next Mech and Heavy Gear franchise reboots. With all the mass layoffs, a LAN party might be your only chance to use old software.

  12. Re:Only the paranoid survive (not) on Are My Ideas Being Stolen? If So, What Then? · · Score: 2, Funny

    I have a new device that shreds Pokemon cards and reduces them to Ash.

  13. Re: Dropping Anchor on Mediterranean Undersea Cables Cut, Again · · Score: 1

    Every time they hack into the fiber optics there will be some disrupted service. I for one welcome our new dolphin overlords.

  14. Re:Watch out! on Researchers Test Whether Sharks Enjoy Christmas Songs · · Score: 1

    They would look just like Rudolf the laser mounted reindeer. Watchmen needed a laser armed mutant shark girl.

  15. Re:Does not look promising on A Telescope In a Cubic Kilometer of Ice · · Score: 1

    Help I'm melting...!

  16. Re:Aw, c'mon on Spanish City Sets Up Solar Cemetery · · Score: 1

    Undead hamsters from the pet cemetery of course. The trick is to wrap them like mummys in stretchable fabric so they can keep on the hamster wheels indefinitely. "If you have any office zombie cubical fatalities, to motivate them use fresh free range vegan brains."

    Quote from Martha Stewart's guide to office productivity.

  17. Re:More to the point, would you want them to? on Arranging Electronic Access For Your Survivors? · · Score: 1

    Simple dead man's switch connected to email. Of course your month long coma will trigger the system prematurely.
      Don't write anything about your love life ie: affairs, illegal alien girlfriends, political blackmail, or embarrassing snubs of coworkers that you might live to regret.

  18. Re:Reality check... on Researchers Getting the Lead Out of Electronics · · Score: 1

    What about the electrical shorts caused by aluminum whiskers? Bob Crigley had an article about that last year.

  19. Re:Enough? on Windows 7 To Be 256-Core Aware · · Score: 2, Funny

    I can't handle the frame rates of my new 512 core AMD Linux system. Its causing my optical lobe to expand from all of the over-stimulation. I may have to go back to my old 256 core machine for a while until the intercranial swelling goes down to manageable level. I switched to my new system to avoid all of the spam and bloatware in Windows 7. With the bloat removal tools the cores are quicker but I still can't get rid of all my old DRM titles from 2009. Civ is just too addictive.

  20. Re:sweep a 30-ton transformer breaking under the r on LHC Shut Down By Transformer Malfunction · · Score: 1

    The god particle finally hit something critical. Where is the Omega cube now?

  21. What happens when ocean levels rise 75 feet? on China to Build a Zero-Carbon Green City · · Score: 1

    They might as well build in an Alpha Centuari submersion dome over the island. Dongtan the underwater amusement park could sell tickets in fifty years.

  22. About a microbe named George... on White House Briefed On "Potential For Life" On Mars · · Score: 1

    Who is the discovery named after? T.E.G.A. contains the word Evolved something that the President's core constituents won't stand for.

  23. Land of the lost... on Google Caught On Private Property · · Score: 1

    What do you want to bet that he got lost on purpose. Where's Cheech?

  24. Re:Huh. on Apollo 14 Moonwalker Claims Aliens Exist · · Score: 1

    Another look at our space program might be required. Most of our exports turn into space garbage in just a few years.
    What would happen if we invented something that would appreciate in value over time? Like a Corvette or a Lamborghini launched into space? Each is a true work of art and engineering.
      If we pursue the goal only the lucky and skillful will survive. Obviously only the short and bald ones made it out of Zeta Reticuli alive! We will never see the Wookies of Zeta Reticuli because their excess hair clogged the air circulators.

  25. Voxel Vision on Consumer 3D Television Moving Forward · · Score: 1

    Have any image of a person turned into a 3D avatar to read you your mail. Shop online with a virtual tour guide.

All of this is waiting for you online. 24/7 Can you stand to have your senses assaulted on an hourly basis?

    Another invention will be instantaneous translations: Goggles presenting you with text of all nearby conversations. "Closed captioning for the real world." And who can forget the Voxel goggle Google search?
