  1. Re:Investors? Really? on Kickstarted Veronica Mars Promised Digital Download; Pirate Bay Delivers · · Score: 3, Funny

    I think it's closer to throwing some disposable cash over the wall in the vague hope that the participants deliver something resembling their pitch. If you are that worked up about your contribution, don't play with kickstarter.

  2. Re:Solution... on Forests Around Chernobyl Aren't Decaying Properly · · Score: 1

    Maybe the Russian troops that are "passing through" can bring some of that.

  3. Re:Religion... on Religion Is Good For Your Brain · · Score: 1

    With a critical mind and some more reason, it's fairly quick and easy to harness as a tool of control over others. As Eric Cartman said: "Put a dollah in da box-uh!"

  4. Error, Error, Excuses on Google Flu Trends Gets It Wrong Three Years Running · · Score: 1

  5. Re:whose lawn, now? on Silicon Valley's Youth Problem · · Score: 4, Funny

    Soon, pregnant women will squat over a cubicle and directly grunt out a new generation of techies trained in utero. Don't trust anyone over 3 months old.

  6. Re:Riiiight on Ukraine May Have To Rearm With Nuclear Weapons Says Ukrainian MP · · Score: 1

    It does seem a silly statement, and a gift to Putin. He can use that as a replacement for the equally silly current justification for the invasion.

  7. The Song of Their People on Author Says It's Time To Stop Glorifying Hackers · · Score: 4, Funny

    I'm a hacker,
    I'm a snacker,
    I'm a mid-night wacker.
    I get my lovin' on the net.
    Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

  8. Re:Was there any ACARS data? on 20 Freescale Semiconductor Employees On Missing Malaysia Airlines Flight · · Score: 2

    ACARS is on 131.55 MHz, ADS-B is 1090 MHz, for one.

    Don't confuse a coder with fancy hardware talk.

  9. Re:No American aboard ... move along, folks ! on 20 Freescale Semiconductor Employees On Missing Malaysia Airlines Flight · · Score: 1

    ...they could have been abducted by aliens you know.

    Reporter: There's a rumor that your son was abducted by aliens.
    Nathan Arizona: Son, don't print that. If the wife reads it, she'll lose all hope.

  10. Re: Denver? Atlanta? on Austin Has Highest Salaries For Tech Workers, After Factoring In Cost of Living · · Score: 1

    Because Mississippi and Alabama are even worse?

  11. Re:Apple / Google / etc on How Ireland Got Apple's $9 Billion Australian Profit · · Score: 2

    ...Apple/Google/etc are watching everything

    Do you doubt Apple's accountants and lawyers are watching the taxing policies in all countries to minimize their tax burden? iSeeYou.

  15. Re:Well, at least... on Government Accuses Sprint of Overcharging For Wiretapping Expenses · · Score: 4, Funny

    Government: [wags finger] Have you no shame? Have you no respect for the law?
    Sprint: [rubs nipples] I'm sorry sir, perhaps you should switch to another provider to snoop on our customers. Ooohh! That's not possible is it? - we're the only game in town.

    No. Your make baseless claims, I see.

  17. Re:Consequences... on Oil From the Exxon Valdez Spill Still Lingers On Alaska Beaches · · Score: 1

    More precisely, private enterprise is good at cutting corners (costs) while charging as much as possible. If you want to add 30% to your cost for a critical service, like health insurance, privatize it.

  18. Hank Hill says: on Horseshoe Crabs Are Bled Alive To Create an Unparalleled Biomedical Technology · · Score: 1

    "This is exactly what those environmentalists should be spending their time on: Finding ways to use nature against other forms of nature that are inconvenient to man."

    ...your entire legal team and every executive who ever sets foot in a country with an extradition treaty gets 6 months in jail for contempt.

    That sounds like a fine ol' solution.

  20. Creepy on YouTube Ordered To Remove "Illegal" Copyright Blocking Notices · · Score: 1

    Forcing a company to do something and then forbidding mention that force was applied? That reminds me of the US government.

  21. Re:First blacks, on Apple Urges Arizona Governor To Veto Anti-Gay Legislation · · Score: 0

    The god of these kinds of people is a weak ineffectual sociopath.

    Yes, the same people who claim to be created in their god's image.

  22. Re:First blacks, on Apple Urges Arizona Governor To Veto Anti-Gay Legislation · · Score: 1

    Could you kick someone out of your bar for getting naked and defecating in the middle of the room?

    Yes, because defecating in the middle of the room is a health issue and can damage property. Your question is the same as "If you allow gay marriage, why not marrying sheep?" If the difference between being gay and defecating in someone's business is not very clear to you, you have a problem.

  23. Abortion reference a problem? on South Park Game Censored On Consoles Outside North America · · Score: 1

    Perhaps they should use more family friendly content, say from the Woodland Critter Christmas episode.
