  1. Re:Huh? on eBay to Drop Negative Feedback on Buyers · · Score: 1

    "Smooth transaction!" "Excellent eBayer!" "Ultra-quick payment!!!" "Would do business with again!"

    That's why. :-)

  2. Re:I'm so tired of this! on An Inconvenient Truth · · Score: 1

    Let the records show that YOU were the first one to use the word "proof."

  3. Re:I have a legitimate question on The World's Most-High Tech Urinal · · Score: 1

    Dude, I can whip it out and tuck it back in without touching it.

  4. Will it blend? on Everyday Objects Placed In a Microwave · · Score: 1

    Try "will it blend" on youtube instead.

  5. iTunes sucks, that's why! on iPod Owners Not As Loyal To Brand As Mac Owners · · Score: 1

    I don't even try to update my iPod anymore. iTunes is such a royal pain in the ass!

  6. Re:"pwned"? on Another ATM Maker Pwned by Googling · · Score: 1

    You're right. It's "pwnd."

    >What is "pwned"?

  7. Rational, not emotional on Pluto Making a Comeback · · Score: 1

    Any emotional reasoning for keeping Pluto as a planet should be disregarded. "Oh, it's such a cute name." People need to separate themselves from the emotional aspect. This is like arguing over what date the seasons actually change.

  8. Fark? on Evolution No Longer Worth Learning, Says Government · · Score: 1

    This isn't fark.com, so why is the headline to this story so sensational and innaccurate?

  9. Re:Missing the point on Some Bands Still Refuse Music Downloads · · Score: 1
    So if you buy the complete album, should they forbid you to skip some tracks?

    That's what David Lynch did for the Mulholland Dr. DVD.

  10. Re:Greater Threat? on Teens Don't Think CD Copying is a Crime · · Score: 1
    The RIAA didn't get their claws on CD-burning technology early enough to prevent its use for pirating music

    Well, I would say that they at least delayed the technology from becoming mainstream for almost a decade. The home-use technology was available as early as 1991, if not earlier. When was the first time you burned a CD? (As a back-up, of course)

  11. In 2000, people didn't seem too concerned??? on Proposal to Update the Electoral College · · Score: 1
    "After the 2000 elections, there was a dispute of what happened in Florida, but people didn't seem too concerned afterward. Most Americans see the outcome as legitimate."

    This guy didn't see the rioting going on at the Inauguration?

  12. Re:Small Scale on Stephen Hawking Asks The Internet a Question · · Score: 1
    Any one trying to answer this question seriously is breaking out the 50 Cent words.

    What, like "wangsta?"

  13. Improper Headline on The 100 Best Tech Products of 2006 · · Score: 1

    Should have been "Teh 100 Best Tech Products of 2006"

  14. Stupid ruling on Ruling May Impact Google Book Search Case · · Score: 1

    If the images are publicly available, that is the website's own fault. If you don't want your images indexed, then simply make it difficult to access the images!

  15. Drugs vs Gambling on Computer Addiction or Just Modern Life? · · Score: 1
    Most experts say computers are not addictive in the same sense that drugs are, but they could be on the same level as gambling."

    Gambling is on the same level as drugs! They did a study on brain activity during gambling and the same area of the brain is stimulated.

  16. Re:Mythbusters vs. Mr Wizard on The Mythbusters Answer Your Questions · · Score: 1

    There are still some experiments/projects that I do that I learned from Mr. Wizard. Like the Mobius Strip project.

  17. Walking and drinking in Japan on Coca-Cola's Coffee Soda · · Score: 3, Informative
    ...quite different than the cans of hot coffee that makes walking around in Tokyo so delicious.

    When did you go to Tokyo?

    "It used to be that you wouldn't dream of drinking while walking down the street [in Japan]. " - http://www.japantimes.co.jp/cgi-bin/getarticle.pl5 ?fl20040320cz.htm

    "Walking and eating [in Japan] is taboo, though you will see local people doing it from time to time, especially in tourist destinations. Still, expect to be glared at or clucked at if you eat (or drink) while perambulating. Ice cream might be an exception, but everything else, including canned drinks should be consumed while standing next to the place where you bought them or sitting on a nearby park bench." - http://www.mediatinker.com/hellotokyo/survival.htm l

  18. only 3 computers? on Costly Music Store Coming to Cellphones · · Score: 1

    The computer version of the songs can be played only on three PCs What exactly does this mean?

  19. Too many queries? on Google To Resume Scanning Books · · Score: 1

    Am I searching too fast? "A computer virus or spyware application is sending us automated requests, and it appears that your computer or network has been infected." I was then prompted to enter in the word verification. Then, on my next query, I was prompted to enter my gmail password.

  20. Re:How exactly are they doing this? on Google To Resume Scanning Books · · Score: 1

    They are not verifying the text. I did a search on foosball, and the text for one book was listed as: "Always treat your foosball table hike your women."

  21. Re:Trip down memory lane on 20 Years of NES · · Score: 1

    I too own a non-Sealed Tengen Tetris, which is much better than the approved version of the game.

  22. Re:It looks impressive on Yahoo To Update Mail Service · · Score: 1

    PS: It's spelled with StudlyCaps.

    Actually, that's CamelCase.

  23. Re:web developer? on How Much Money do Programmers Really Make? · · Score: 1
    ...you being a web developer should know to give a warning before linking to pdf files. It does annoy people.

    Who was the genius that decided to put a pdf wrapper on that horrible bitmap image? I don't know whether to zoom in or out! Ugh! Such an IDIOT!

  24. google sets on Technology In Katrina's Wake · · Score: 1
    "everyone from Microsoft to IBM..."

    Yeah, Microsoft to IBM.
    The only companies that could be considered "between" those two companies are:
    Intel
    Novell
    Oracle
    Compaq
    Apple
    Netscape
    Sun
    Lotus
    Cisco
    HP
    Dell

    But come on, don't use those two companies as a catch-all.

  25. Re:First song on Synthesizer Pioneer Bob Moog Dies · · Score: 1

    What about "Good Vibrations" by The Beach Boys?
