  1. Isn't the shame enough? on Nintendo Seeks To Trademarks "It's On Like Donkey Kong" · · Score: 1

    If the shame of spouting this gem is not enough to stop you, it will probably get you beat quicker than saying "It looks like you have a case of the Mondays."

  2. Territorial Disputes? on Engineers Propose Lily Pad-Like Floating Cities · · Score: 1

    Can you imagine a fleet of Chinese trawlers smashing into such a city because they claim the water it's under? Somali pirates would like to pay a visit as well.

  3. Re:Shocking... on Sex Drugs and Texting · · Score: 1

    I thought the joke (judging based on a fictional TV show) was obvious enough, apparently not.

  4. Re:Shocking... on Sex Drugs and Texting · · Score: 2, Funny

    After watching a few episodes of Skins, it's obvious kids of today are out of control. Taking away their mobile phones should fix that right up.

  5. Pointless on Chinese Ad Resellers On Anti-Google Hunger Strike · · Score: 2, Informative

    If Google violated a contract, take them to court. If not, then there is no room for complaint.

  6. Calling Dr. iPhone on Pee On Your Phone STD Test · · Score: 5, Funny

    Will it automatically tie in with your Facebook account to alert your friends and family? It's a magical world we live in.

  7. Re:Havent seen it. Let me go Download it... on Porn Maker Sues 7,000+ For Copyright Infringement · · Score: 1

    "Separation of Church and State" is a rephrasing of the establishment clause. Different religions often contradict each other, so there is no way government can codify all religions into law equally. Anytime government gets into the business of religion, it necessarily excludes some religions and is therefore establishing particular religions as preferred or required by the state. The only way to avoid this is to keep government from meddling in religion altogether.

  8. Re:iPhone win? on Major Security Holes Found In Mobile Bank Apps · · Score: 1

    If someone was foolish enough to steal from an iPhone user, they would get whacked in the head by Crazy Steve and his magic Apple TV!

    Apply directly to forehead! Repeat as necessary.

  10. Re:Is it me or on HP CEO Goes On the Lam As Oracle Hunts Him Down · · Score: 4, Insightful

    ...has HP become less than reputable

    Eventually, your reputation reflects your actions. I think HP has thoroughly buried its previous reputation as an innovator and great place to work.

  11. Re:Heh on Prepare To Be Watched While You Watch a Movie · · Score: 2, Insightful

    ...a theater that you can pass a fattie around

    I have a fond memory from 1977 of witnessing this at a midnight showing of The Song Remains the Same at the now closed North Town 6 theater in Dallas. Everyone brought their own bottles of booze as well. No police busting people, the theater owners were happy to be filling seats, and the customers had a good time.

    Of course, that kind of fun and freedom is now just a distant memory.

  12. Re:Windows Logo on New Fedoraproject.org Site on Fedora 14 Released and Reviewed — Advanced, and Not For Wimps · · Score: 1

    ...you'll see that the comparison is ridiculous.

    I honestly was not trying to create something that was not there. I passively looked at the glyphs, noticed the colors, noticed the shapes and how they fit together, and my brain popped out: Windows Logo.

    Not exactly the same shape, not exactly the same shade, but pattern recognition kicked in and that's what I got. Microsoft uses this general theme with different shapes for the Office logo and other MS products. The point of a logo is recognition. Without malice or planning I recognized the Windows Logo. Fedora did not plan it that way, but there it is. I thought it was an interesting observation, but maybe the subject matter is too touchy.

    Troll? My post is strictly factual, check it out for yourselves.

    I run it all, win7, mac, several flavors of linux.

    Watch it polytheist, the Solders of the One will mod bomb you.

  15. Windows Logo on New Fedoraproject.org Site on Fedora 14 Released and Reviewed — Advanced, and Not For Wimps · · Score: 2, Informative

    The new fedoraproject.org site uses 4 icons (freedom, friends, features, first) in the same colors as the Windows logo that can be pieced together like the Windows icon. Kind of odd.

  16. Re:Jetson's Space Car? on Car Produced With a 3D Printer · · Score: 1

    You would be reduced to a meaty pulp mixed with shards of plastic and spread over the roadway. This would be difficult to clean up thoroughly so some of your remains would bake into the road where it would remain for many years.

  17. Re:Well... on 33 Developers Leave OpenOffice.org · · Score: 4, Funny

    Reading your post in the voice of Morpheus from the Matrix makes it sound more profound.

  18. Fire Sale! on VLC Developer Takes a Stand Against DRM Enforcement · · Score: 1

    VLC, DRM, GNU, GPL, AGPL, FSF, iOS...
    Did someone have a sale on acronyms?

  19. More than Music on British Pizza Chain To Install Cones of Silence · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I'd be happy to see this just to limit exposure to people who do not have an "inside voice".

  20. Re:Pass The Joint ( +1, Helpful ) on The Galaxy May Have Billions of Habitable Planets · · Score: 1

    P.S.: Carl Sagan says "High !".

    It seems appropriate to hear from Zombie Sagan on Halloween weekend. Let's raise a bowl and toast his accomplishments.

  21. Re:So, why didn't it happen the way we've been tol on Launch Command Preserved In Power Failure, But Nuclear Designs Still Risky · · Score: 4, Funny

    So why aren't we sitting in a post-apocalyptic wasteland right now?

    Have you been to Detroit recently?

  22. Re:Cheap -- to Replace! on Time To Rethink the School Desk? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Here is some durable, school appropriate furniture.

  23. Re:Oh Christ No!!!! on The iPhone Serial Port Hack · · Score: 1

    I don't see any handshake signals, just transmit and receive data. No complicated protocol, no worry about host vs peripheral, just bits of data flowing in each direction. Sometimes simple is good.

  24. Re:The new Axis of Evil has formed... on Oracle Claims Google 'Directly Copied' Our Java Code · · Score: 1

    Ballmer makes a better Igor style sidekick while Jobs and Ellison have the arch-villain chops. You could make an entertaining TV show about those two egos battling for supremacy with samurai swords and turtlenecks.

  25. Re:Empire was not the best of the movies. on The Empire Strikes Back Vader Costume For Sale · · Score: 1

    It all kind of blurs together after a while. I read Empire, but dain bramage caused by watching the Christmas Episode (Life Day!) caused me to think Jedi.
