  1. Cryptocurrencies are fundamentally different from other investments, in that they are the only kind where unexpected market twists and turns lead to winners and losers.

  2. Re:More accurately: dark matter/energy is gone. on Simulation Suggests 68 Percent of the Universe May Not Actually Exist (newatlas.com) · · Score: 1

    No, just the dark energy

  3. There's just one problem with this... on Facebook Experimenting With Blu-ray As a Storage Medium · · Score: 5, Funny

    When you first access this data, you have to sit through 42 previews before you get to it.

  4. Finally. on Echolocation For Your Cell Phone · · Score: 1

    Live action Zork.

  5. Re:Oblig on Kurzweil: The Cloud Will Expand Human Brain Capacity · · Score: 3, Funny

    No, no, it's true. I learned how to home-brew beer this year, but paid for it by forgetting how to drive.

  6. Doesn't everybody do that? on Accused Teen Bomber Finds FBI Surveillance Team's Wireless Network · · Score: 1

    My cell phone is "Flowers By Irene" whenever I enable wifi tethering.

  7. Re:You just defined smartass on Man Arrested For Taking Photo of Open ATM · · Score: 1

    So what? Tactless, impolite behavior may be anti-social, but it is emphatically not illegal. There's no obligation to be nice, particularly to those who are exerting undue authority without reason.

    What we need are *more* citizens who are willing to speak up and fight for their rights, not a bunch of pansies who roll over when they see a blue shirt and a toy badge.

  8. Re:Yes, go for it. on With a Computer Science Degree, an Old Man At 35? · · Score: 1

    I have yet to meet an 18 year old adult, and that includes me 23 years ago.

  9. Re:Could Latitude make this smarter? on GrandCentral Reborn As Google Voice · · Score: 1

    You can toggle any given phone on or off at any time from the web interface. If you forget your cell phone, turn it off when you get to work. Turn off your work phone and turn on your cell phone when it's lunchtime and you are away from your desk. That's just one more advantage of GrandCentral, people can still reach you in such situations without trying every contact number they have.

  10. Re:Same sh*t, different company on Monster Cables Pushes Around the Wrong Small Company · · Score: 1

    No highs, no lows. Must be Bose.

  11. Re:Monster cable has been taking advantage... on Monster Cables Pushes Around the Wrong Small Company · · Score: 1

    How do these people sleep at night. On a large pile of money, with many beautiful women.
  12. Re:Price Fixing on Ban On Price Floors Abandoned, Internet Prices May Rise · · Score: 3, Informative

    These people are rewriting the law book in front of our eyes.

  13. How odd on Details and Rumors of iPhone Restrictions Emerging · · Score: -1, Troll

    It almost sounds like they don't really want to sell the things.

  14. Re:Good! on Internet Tax Imminent? · · Score: 1

    Viagra sales?

  15. Good! on Internet Tax Imminent? · · Score: 4, Funny

    Let's get businesses off of the Internet, and take it back to what it's supposed to be:

    A global pornography repository.

  16. Re:How does WHO deal with it? on NASA Tackles Ethics of Deep-Space Exploration · · Score: 1

    "Many people have gone without sex for years for religious and other reasons"

    And fortunately, there are no altar boys in space.

  17. Re:To trot or to rot on NASA Tackles Ethics of Deep-Space Exploration · · Score: 1

    Fortunately, sexual jealousy has been eliminated amongst astronauts... As of the firing of Lisa Nowak.

  18. Re:I'd like to say...(is pure flamebait) on Digg.com Attempts To Suppress HD-DVD Revolt · · Score: 1

    Let's be honest here: Anything named 'Palm V' is more masturbatory than anything else. ;-)

  19. That's 35 grand poorly spent on Businesses Scramble To Stay Out of Google Hell · · Score: 4, Informative

    When you hire a consultant specifically to improve your Google page rank, I guess you are opening yourself up to stuff like this. It sounds to me like this guy hired someone who thought they knew how to game the system, and the system gamed him back.

  20. Re:A-ha! Proof! on When the Earth Was Purple · · Score: 1

    And who ever knew that Jimi Hendrix was actually looking back through time?

  21. Re:Core 2 Duo? on AMD Donates Servers to Groklaw · · Score: 1

    I wouldn't read too much into 'spinnerbait' if I were you. Sounds like a guy who (like me) is into fishing. It's just a kind of lure.

  22. One word: on Major Nelson Frames the GH II DLC Discussion · · Score: 1

    Jeanie!!!!!!

  23. Re:I've heard... on SCO Legally Assaults PJ of Groklaw · · Score: 5, Funny

    Actually, they keep running smack up against the guy, but never recognize him when they see him.

  24. Re:Insufficient technical information on FCC Says No to Mobile Phones on Airplane · · Score: 1

    We're former cave dwellers, living in a series of tubes comes naturally to us.

  25. Re:Insufficient technical information on FCC Says No to Mobile Phones on Airplane · · Score: 2, Insightful

    How about the jerks who are so prone to beating the shit out of people start their own airline, then, and leave the normal people in peace? Frankly, there have been plenty of cases of people going bat shit crazy on airplanes to leave me wondering if there's something inherently unstable in our little primate brains when subjected to altitude.

    However, that's *really* a non-issue here wrt this article, as controlling sociopathic travellers isn't part of the FCC's bailiwick. The real story here is the claim that there isn't enough proof that cell phones whizzing by five miles over our heads at five hundred miles an hour won't cause you to lose your call to Aunt Mabel, a call which is statistically likely to be just as inane as the ones causing mass murders overhead.
