  1. Re:Neil Armstrong's Pee on Did Chandrayaan Find Organic Matter On the Moon? · · Score: 1

    Scotch was just standard rations along with a carton of cigarettes. In the late 1960s and early 1970s, everyone drank scotch and smoked cigarettes. If you don't believe me, just watch the movie "Colossus: The Forbin Project".

  2. Re:Fair Use? on Former Congressman Learns About Streisand Effect · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Wikipedia says 8 times proven in court. He must have gone to the Larry Craig/Mark Foley School of Family Values.

  3. Re:a world without copyright on Microsoft Acknowledges Theft of Code From Plurk · · Score: 5, Funny

    I guess that would make Apple the "Queen" of software development?

    Because I'm easy come, easy go
    Little high, little low,
    any way the winblows.

  4. Re:Maybe on The Perfect Way To Slice a Pizza · · Score: 1

    Misogyny exists, and should be fought against... but no need to try and find it where it doesn't exist.

    Before you try and inject reason into this, perhaps you should consult these flowcharts.

    "I can only imagine what 911 dispatchers go through."

    Hello 911? McDonalds won't give me my chicken McNuggets.

    ATT's crappy coverage strikes again.

    Just be sure to have them spayed.

  8. Simple, Fun, Clean on Science Gifts For Kids? · · Score: 1

    A 7 year old should enjoy classic bits like gyroscope, prism, and magnets. The Levitron and ROMP (random oscillating magnetic pendulum) are inexpensive and fun.

  9. Re:Call me pedantic but... on How To Build a Quantum Propulsion Machine · · Score: 1

    Roomba: "Norman coordinate... boop, boop, boooooooop."

  10. Re:Should have left the missile on Quebec Data Center Built In a Silo · · Score: 2, Funny

    The picture of the "Compute room" was interesting. Both the Teletype terminals and the side burns on the operators look like they could withstand nuclear attack.

  11. Re:Good. on Microsoft Finally Open Sources Windows 7 Tool · · Score: 2, Funny

    He reproduced that line lawfully under the SML (Slashdot Meme License).

  12. Re:Uh... yah? on A Critical Look At Open Licensing For Hardware · · Score: 1

    Exactly. If your start-up's only advantage is in the IP, don't open it up. If you open it up to help create an ecosystem for your product, then a large company getting involved should help.

    A company using open hardware or software needs to do some sort of review of the IP anyways, since they are ultimately responsible to their end customers. For open software you can fudge this a bit and fix it up later if you miss something. If a large hardware company builds millions of something blindly based on open IP and it is flawed, then they are screwed. So even with open hardware IP, every company has to invest some engineering time to use it and the originator should have a head start.

    "Its simply the aurora borealis..."

    [Carla says to Cliff]: You're a roaring borealis.

  14. Cool Displays on LHC Reaches Record Energy · · Score: 1

    Those Atlas collision displays would make an awesome computer desktop gadget if you could get timely updates from a central server. Maybe add in some sound effects like "boing-oing-oing!" on each update.

  15. Re:JooJoo is the Cantonese pronounciation of... on CrunchPad Being Re-branded As JooJoo · · Score: 5, Funny

    Yahoo! Answers agrees with you. Maybe it's not so bad after all. Announcing the Penis Pad (formerly Crunch Pad)! It's touch sensitive!

  16. Re:watching rich people fight on eBay vs. Craigslist Courtroom Fisticuffs Start Today · · Score: 3, Funny

    NASCAR would be cooler if half the cars went one direction, half in the opposite direction. Geeks would love it because it resembles the LHC. Oooh! Look at those particles!

  17. Retarded Name on CrunchPad Being Re-branded As JooJoo · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The technology would have to be extra special to make up for the price point and name. JooJoo? What were they thinking?

  18. Naked Dictatorship on Iranian Crackdown Goes Global · · Score: 1

    That's what Fareed Zakaria said Iran has now become. They can no longer claim to represent the people of Iran, and eventually will decay and fail. In the meantime, it is gut wrenchingly scary what average Iranians face in trying to reform their own government. It's a horrible reminder of the cost of liberty.

  19. Re:New technical problems on the ISS . . . on What Drugs Do Astronauts Take? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    High school kids fabricate bongs out of the oddest bits and pieces, often from what's available wherever they happen to be. I would hope our astronauts are at least as talented and resourceful.

    Is that a cheap knock off like a Sorny or Magnetbox?

  22. Re:I am scared. I am intrigued. on Scientists Create Artificial Meat · · Score: 1

    I thought veal was all about preventing the meat from exercising. You want to talk tender? This meat comes in a tube. You could even package it like Cheez-Whiz. Now introducing Meat-Whiz in Teriyaki and Gumbo flavors. Extrude some onto a cracker today. Yum.
