  1. WTF? on Official — Economic Crash Not Computers' Fault · · Score: 4, Informative

    Was this EVER a proposed cause of the global economic crisis put forth by any reputable source? At first I thought the article was talking about the flash crash last May. I was unaware anyone could look past the many obvious causes of the 2008 collapse and try to blame high speed trading.

  2. Re:Franken may be a little crazy, but not on this on Senators Bash ISP and Push Extensive Net Neutrality · · Score: 1

    "As for Garofalo... doesn' t always seem to know what she's talking about."

    Her latest stand up video has her admit she is no longer sexually active (a public emasculation for her male companion), and then passes harsh judgment on people who prefer things clean shaven. That seems to fit your observation.

  3. Re:Intel wants to be Apple on Black Eyed Peas Member Joins Intel As Director · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Will.i.am *is* Steve Jobs undercover. You don't buy that bit about medical leave, do you?

  4. Re:Franken may be a little crazy, but not on this on Senators Bash ISP and Push Extensive Net Neutrality · · Score: 2

    I knew Dennis Miller had completely gone to the dark side when watching the first episode of The Dennis Miller Show. He was interviewing Arnold Schwarzenegger and asked the hard hitting question: "Governor, why don't people realize how awesome you are?".

  5. Re:The funny part? on Your Face Will Soon Be In Facebook Ads · · Score: 4, Funny

    It could be worse, such as photoshopping for hemorrhoid cream:

    "Suffering from anal itching, anal ache or pain, especially while sitting? Timex recommends Cool Bung brand rectal relief!"

  6. Boom! on How Chrysler's Battery-Less Hybrid Minivan Works · · Score: 1, Insightful

    This sounds like an excellent alternative to explore, but I do wonder how that 5000 PSI reacts when crushed in an accident. CNN describes the tank as a "bladder".

  7. Re:What would you consider out of context? on Genghis Khan, History's Greenest Conqueror · · Score: 1

    What honestly could Fox say that is really worse than what is being said?

    Here you go.

  8. Re:Duh on How Facebook Responded To Tunisian Hacks · · Score: 1

    Send flowers to the funerals of the oppressed exposed by this security breach?

  9. Smooth Move on Genghis Khan, History's Greenest Conqueror · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Way to go Mother Nature Network (MNN), you have tied Genghis Khan to environmentalism. Expect to see this quoted out of context on Fox.

  10. It must be admitted... on Volume 4A of Knuth's TAOCP Finally In Print · · Score: 2

    From Vol 1: "However, it must be admitted that MIX is now quite obsolete. Therefore MIX will be replaced in subsequent editions of this book by a new machine called MMIX, the 2009.

    I take it Vol 4A is still MIX with 6-bit bytes?

  11. Re:I got the script for 4 & 5 on The Matrix Re-Reloaded · · Score: 5, Funny

    Matrix 4: Scene: Suburbia
    Neo and gang mow lawns and clean pools.
    Hot chick with pushup bra babysits for Neo, Trinity looks disgusted.
    More mall shopping.

    Matrix 5: Scene: Rural Farm
    Neo and gang plant corn.
    Hot chick with pushup bra milks a cow, Trinity looks disgusted.
    More square dancing.

  12. Mirage in the Distance on Duke Nukem Forever Release Date Revealed · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Practical nuclear fusion is always 30 years away.
    Fast non-volatile memory tech to replace RAM and HD is always 10 years away.
    Duke Nukem Forever is forever 6 months away.

    Kudos for Gearbox in keeping the myth alive.

  13. React After the Fact on Comcast-NBC Merger Approved By FCC · · Score: 1

    It seems these kinds of excesses are only dealt with after some severe abuse. Even though the potential for abuse is clear, the regulatory approach always starts with vague promises by corporations with spotty histories and some limited, in scope and duration, conditions with questionable enforcement provisions.

  14. Re:Any need for this? on Cosmological Constant Not Fine Tuned For Life · · Score: 1

    Or we are both here and there.

  15. GTFO! on Cell Phone Industry's Six Biggest Failed Schemes · · Score: 1

    FTFA: ...full of shady characters with inconsistent documentation.

    In the mobile phone industry? Didn't see that coming.

  16. Re:The zodiac has changed, just like the seasons on Stars Remain In Their Usual Places; People Panic · · Score: 2

    Who gives a shit? It's all bullshit.

    That's harsh, bro. Is your Feng shui is providing sufficient positive chi?

  17. Re:Like leaving the front door open on US Scraps Virtual Fence Along Mexican Border · · Score: 1

    Get free food...

    Where are the Cheetos? Can I have a Mountain Dew?

  18. Re:Too fucking bad.. on Palin's E-Mail Hacker Imprisoned Against Judge's Wishes · · Score: 1

    That does seem integral to the US justice system: upset a celebrity and the punishment is severe, commit a crime as a celebrity and the punishment is reduced or eliminated. Accessing celebrity's email: a year in federal prison. Celebrity slashing ex wife and her lover to death with a knife: you are free to go. (Go OJ, Go!)

  19. Re:Three things work for free; which are you? on Are 10-11 Hour Programming Days Feasible? · · Score: 1

    A tool
    A mule
    A fool

    Combine all three and you have an intern.
    [cracks whip] Hee-yah!

  20. Re:WTF on Program Uses GPS To Track Sex Offenders · · Score: 1

    I prefer the Battle Royale approach. Televised for your viewing pleasure.

  21. Still the classic! on Evolution of the Batmobile · · Score: 1

    The TV series car based on the 55 Futura is still burned into my mind as the classic implementation. I love the list of futuristic features in the article's image:

    * Nose mounted chain slicer (WTF is that?)
    * Atomic turbine engine (Mr. Fusion)
    * On-board telephone (As Steve Jobs says: It's magical!)

  22. In space... on Playmate Photo From Apollo 12 Up For Auction · · Score: 4, Funny

    nobody can hear you fap!

  23. Re:Wowee on Playmate Photo From Apollo 12 Up For Auction · · Score: 3, Funny

    You are not attracted to the unkempt jungle thatch of 60s era bush?

  24. Re:Last Comment... on Microsoft Server and Tools Head Muglia To Step Down · · Score: 1

    The last MS keyboard I tried mapped the function keys by default to other uses. You had to hit some key combination to return them to function keys. Inconvenient and non-standard, the MS way.

  25. Re:Cloud on Microsoft Server and Tools Head Muglia To Step Down · · Score: 1

    This is new MS Cloud# accelerated with .NET! It's awesome extended.
