    It's a slippery slope. If we allow this treatment to go through, what next? Take away their caffeine?

    That's right; no Cure for cancer say I.

  8. Re:grawlix fail on Shuttleworth Suggests 1-Way Valve For User Experience Testing · · Score: 3, Funny

    It's a wildcard, so there could be an infinite number of letters in there.

    I like your idea though. Living close to a busy street, there are many evenings when I wish somebody would shut the firetruck up.

  9. grawlix fail on Shuttleworth Suggests 1-Way Valve For User Experience Testing · · Score: 5, Funny

    and oh yeah, a dose of 'shut the f*uck up' too.

    going to have to mine to get that titanium

    But, being a catalyst in this reaction, it should be re-usable.

    The important questions are how this type of generator compares with photovoltaics in terms of the energy it takes to manufacture, the environmental impact of its manufacture, operational lifetime, and energy output per unit of area.

    If the wasteful SUVs were parked in the dessert (or bottom of the sea) and left for a millennium or two, I'd call THAT progress!

    When you find a bowl of ice cream big enough to park an SUV in, let me know. I'll go get my spoon.

  21. Re:There are a few minor considerations on Dye Used In Blue M&Ms Can Lessen Spinal Injury · · Score: 1

    There are some minor differences between "ingested" and "injected" that come into play. For instance, Coca-Cola is approved for ingestion, but I really don't think you want it squirted directly into your bloodstream.

    Yeah, that could lead to some serious side-effects, such as toejam football and monkey finger.

  22. Re:Lasers? Star Wars? on Finally, a True Green Laser · · Score: 1

  23. Bezos/Orwell/Parsons on Jeff Bezos Offers Apology For Erasing 1984 · · Score: 1

    For me, the "apology" doesn't sound heartfelt at all. It is easily written, doesn't cost much and makes good PR.

    Don't think sorry's easily said
    Don't try turning tables instead
    You've taken lots of chances before
    But I'm not gonna give anymore
    Don't ask me
    That's how it goes
    Cause part of me knows what you're thinkin'
    [...]
    I am the eye in the sky
    Looking at you
    I can read your mind
    I am the maker of rules
    Dealing with fools
    I can cheat you blind
    And I don't need to see any more
    To know that
    I can read your mind, I can read your mind
