  1. Re:What happened to the Lavabit article? on Camels May Transmit New Middle Eastern Virus · · Score: 1

    Surrender your illegal memories citizen!

  2. Re:Idea on Bill Gates Promotes Vaccine Projects, Swipes At Google · · Score: 1

    I never thought Bill Gates was a jealous hater.

    Nothing in this interview leads me to that conclusion. The sharp elbows and unapologetic advocacy for helping people in developing countries impressed me more than anything else he has done.

  3. Re:Is everything currency, then? on Federal Judge Declares Bitcoin a Currency · · Score: 1

    ...this ruling would seem to imply everything is currency, and thus subject to SEC regulation in the States.

    Thank you for your cooperation citizen. Extra soylent rations for you.

  4. Re: Generosity on Apple Announces a Trade-in Program For Third-Party Chargers · · Score: 2

    Apple didn't have to do jack shit.

    No kidding. The same people blaming Apple for third party chargers would certainly blame Google for bad Bing search results. Right?

  5. Re:Really? on Xerox Photocopiers Randomly Alter Numbers, Says German Researcher · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Scanning an article without comprehension and your complaining about your misinterpretation. Really?

  6. Re:Some image smoothing algorithm... on Xerox Photocopiers Randomly Alter Numbers, Says German Researcher · · Score: 4, Informative

    This is not smoothing, distortion or individual pad pixels. Entire image patches are copied incorrectly, essentially repeating a scanned section containing one number over another part of the image containing a different number.

  7. Re:still don't get why I'm supposed to be excited on Samsung Begins Mass Production of Industry's First 3D NAND Flash · · Score: -1, Troll

    Still butt hurt that the US has followed Europe in not allowing Samsung to use standards essential patents to ban competitor's products?

  8. Somewhere on the intarwebs... on Campaign To Kill CAPTCHA Kicks Off · · Score: 1

    A stoned person types his password into a CAPTCHA field.

    "Wrong? Ah man, I know that's my password."

  9. Re:There's a man .... on First Ever Public Tasting of Lab-Grown Cultured Beef Burger · · Score: 1

    Announcing Taco Bell's new Google Loco Taco.

  10. Re:Solving Canibalism on First Ever Public Tasting of Lab-Grown Cultured Beef Burger · · Score: 1

    That sounds like a preparation problem.

  11. Big buck from prohibition on DEA Program "More Troubling" Than NSA · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Has the money made by the prohibition industry exceeded that made by drug king pins yet? This is the kind of unchecked power that the cartels would love to have.

  12. Re:The only correct response to this... on Rupert Murdoch Wants To Destroy Australia's National Broadband Network · · Score: 1

    Is that the title of an Australian folk song?

  13. Re:8 cylinder on Qualcomm Says Eight-Core Processors Are Dumb · · Score: 4, Funny

    Add a scoop, spoiler, neon trim and a fart can on the exhaust. Mowed in sixty seconds.

  14. Obligatory on A Climate of Violence? · · Score: 5, Funny

    It's not the heat, it's the humanity.

  15. Re:"Using" vs. "wearing"? on In UK, Google Glass To Be Banned While Driving · · Score: 1

    What about wearing Google Glass while in a Google self driving car, eating a Google burrito and listening to Sergey and the Googlettes play on Google radio?

  16. Re:in 3... 2... 1... on FreeBSD, Ubuntu Offer Same NVIDIA OpenGL Support As Windows · · Score: 5, Funny

    Just wait for Windows 8.1 (with new Start button!). It will completely surpass FreeBSD in gaming market share.

  17. Re:Cutting jobs for out-dated / legacy systems on Alcatel-Lucent Cuts Go Deeper — 7,500 Jobs Gone and Counting · · Score: 1

    I share your cynicism. My post was supposed to be a joke that they play golf more than once a year, not an endorsement of private jets.

  18. Re:Cutting jobs for out-dated / legacy systems on Alcatel-Lucent Cuts Go Deeper — 7,500 Jobs Gone and Counting · · Score: 1

    ...keep the corporate jets they use once a year instead.

    If you think executives only play golf in exotic locations once a year, you are mistaken.

  19. Re:Failed Marketing on Early Surface Sales Pitiful · · Score: 1

    Being a Surface RT owner myself, I can say that:

    Apparently it doesn't allow you to create a /. account and sign on to post your unbiased and informative testimonial.

  20. Re:Spot On on Most Americans Think Courts Are Failing To Limit Government Surveillance · · Score: 3, Insightful

    ...how much more intimate can they get?

    Forced sonograms that neither the patient or doctor wants.

  21. Re:Lesson One on Windows NT Turns 20 · · Score: 1

    Now that said, the NT kernel itself is pretty solid.

    Having written device drivers for Linux, OS/2 and Windows NT-Win7 I find writing drivers for the NT kernel is the least frustrating by far. Stabler driver interfaces, better documentation, better tools (modern windbg for kernel debugging is very nice).

  22. Re:Americans have an unusual definition of "tortur on US Promises Not To Kill Or Torture Snowden · · Score: 1

    I don't remember exactly which state he was from, but it was either Alabama or Arkansas. ... His basic premise was that it's only torture if it involves, using his words, the "cock and balls" of a victim. ... I don't know how widespread these views are in America. But if a better-traveled and even somewhat educated American holds such unusual, if not outright contradictory, opinions, then it really makes me wonder about those who have a much more limited perspective.

    The Cock and Balls theory I have not heard from anyone. I'm from Texas, many of my relatives are so bat shit crazy and willfully ignorant that they believe the US president was born in Kenya, but they have not said anything about cock and balls. If your friend said this, he is not educated and a plane ticket to Europe does not make someone worldly. This sounds like a case of a backwards yokel with extremist views.

  23. Re:"turnaround plan" on BlackBerry Cuts 250 Workers, Calls It Efficiency · · Score: 1

    This does not augur well for the company.

  24. New head on Scientists Discover New Clues To Regeneration: How Flatworms Regrow Heads · · Score: 4, Funny
