  1. Re:Thud! Death! .... inflate. on Motorcyclists To Get Wearable Airbags · · Score: 1

    The sensor's on the bike. If the bike hits something it will decelerate pretty quickly, even if you don't.

  2. Re:That sounds like fun! on Motorcyclists To Get Wearable Airbags · · Score: 1

    How are you going to get the needed acceleration of 10G to set the thing off? Move planet?

  3. Not gonna happen on META Predicts Linux Software From Microsoft in 2004 · · Score: 1

    while Microsoft still makes money from selling Operating Systems. Why enable a huge portion of their market to stop paying them licence fees while they can still sell Office *and* Windows?

  4. Re:Other Ideas on The Evolution Of The Cost-Effective TrainCam · · Score: 1

    3. Pet mounted cams to see what Rover's getting into these days. Probably very exciting when he's chasing cars...

    Although not too nice when he's sniffing other dogs butts.

  5. Old idea, new application on Using Sound To Test Internet Connections · · Score: 3, Informative

    http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/jargon/jargon.html#ping This was done years ago according to the jargon file.

  6. Re:Webcast on Douglas Adams Written Dr. Who Episode Goes Into Production · · Score: 0

    From the CrownCastle website (One of the Freeview Partners): "Freeview covers around three out of four households". Mmm, I make that around 75%. So up yours, retard.

    You may not *read* subtitles, but at least you can *get* them. The difference is, I *can't* get Freeview, even if I want it. So I ask again, why should I pay for it?

    Try rubbing your two brain cells together, it might generate a little heat in that cold, empty brani pan of yours.

  7. Re:Dear Clowns on Publishers' Attack Free Government Sites · · Score: 0

    As a little boy, that must make you very nervous.

  8. Re:Webcast on Douglas Adams Written Dr. Who Episode Goes Into Production · · Score: 0

    90% can get DTT? That's just plain wrong. I live 50 miles from London in a highly populated area and can't get it, and won't be able to until they switch of analogue transmissions. Why should I pay for something I can't get?

  9. Re:William Gibson? on SciFi Motherlode Donated to Canadian University · · Score: -1, Troll

    Says the Lord of all the gays.

  10. William Gibson? on SciFi Motherlode Donated to Canadian University · · Score: -1, Troll

    Shit, that dude's aged well.

  11. Re:RUSH on The Who's John Entwistle Dead · · Score: 0

    What about the voice of Geddy Lee? How did it get so high? I wonder if he speaks like an ordinary guy.

    I know him, and he does.

    Then you're my fact checking cuz.

  12. Re:Red Hat is not the standard on United Linux is Here · · Score: 0

    That's probably why the rest of the world hates you so much.

  13. Re:Buy your books... on UK Home Office plan: ID Chips in Everything · · Score: 0

    How would you disable the chip in your new microwave? Mmmmmm, infinite loop with ever increasingly large microwaves.

  14. Re:Simple question.. on The Euro · · Score: 0

    Perhaps you could tell me when we were given a choice? Have I missed something?

  15. Re:You blew his cover! on Bert Is Evil · · Score: 0

    How about dropping Big Bird for the starving refugees? He should feed quite a few.

    Mmmmmm.
    Food - USA most obese in the world.
    Water - USA biggest polluter in the world.

  17. Re:I hope it will be optional on Linus Says No To Annoying Boot Messages · · Score: 1

    It's not 'their' language. And they officially spell loads of words incorrectly. ;) But to be honest, who cares about the spelling if you can understand the meaning? Life's to short to worry about such things.
