  1. Now all they need on Video Gamers Advancing Genetic Research · · Score: 3, Funny

    Is to add a microtransaction model and they should be able to get people to both do the work AND fund the project at the same time!

  2. America on Gas Powered Fuel Cell Could Help EV Range Anxiety · · Score: 2

    Giving up its gasoline addiction by designing electric cars that need - gasoline.

  3. Re:I wonder on Russian Scientists Say They'll Clone a Mammoth Within 5 Years · · Score: 1

    McCaffrey is dead. Give it up already.

  4. Re:you can't trust 3rd parties with private info on Facebook Flaw Exposed Private Photos · · Score: 1

    Thank you sir for making my point for me. Known on the X axis, variable on the Y, etc.

  5. Re:you can't trust 3rd parties with private info on Facebook Flaw Exposed Private Photos · · Score: 1

    Having a conversation/discussion != trolling. However only a minority actually understand this concept - the ones on the far right side of the bell curve.

  6. I wonder on Russian Scientists Say They'll Clone a Mammoth Within 5 Years · · Score: 4, Funny

    What the giants will have to say about that.

  7. Re:600 light years... on Kepler Confirms Exoplanet Inside Star's Habitable Zone · · Score: 1

    Flatland?

  8. Re:Silly artist's conceptions. on Kepler Confirms Exoplanet Inside Star's Habitable Zone · · Score: 1

    I have trouble seeing it through my monocle.

  9. Re:Take that... on Kepler Confirms Exoplanet Inside Star's Habitable Zone · · Score: 1

    a planet 600 light years away that stands a good chance of having liquid water.

    When we land there

    ROFL. Yeah, when we land there. It's ONLY 600 light years after all.

  10. This Breitling Commercial on Jetman Yves Rossy Flies In Formation With Jets · · Score: 1

    brought to you by Breitling, I guess.

  11. Re:I am planning to move to NC on US Senator Proposes Bill To Eliminate Overtime For IT Workers · · Score: 1

    Yeah. Maybe one day you'll figure out that it would probably have been cheaper to do all those things on your own. But the bureaucrats have got to eat, right?

  12. Lord British on Video Game Consoles Are 'Fundamentally Doomed,' Says Lord British · · Score: 1

    Has become a bitter vet... I guess when you get bought out by EA whose idea of innovation is gobbling up studios and churning out Football manager 2008^H2009^H2010^H2011^H2012 ad nauseam, I guess you think that gaming has no future. I've heard this all before - wait, Chris Roberts used to say this 20 years ago. Ah, Chris Roberts also worked at Origin. I see a connection...

    The future is always different, but always bet against the guy who says there is no future.

  13. Re:Jackasses on San Francisco Team Wins DARPA's De-Shredding Contest · · Score: 2

    Yeah they don't care about you because you have nothing. Wait until you have something (if ever). Then you'll understand.

  14. Re:I am planning to move to NC on US Senator Proposes Bill To Eliminate Overtime For IT Workers · · Score: 2, Insightful

    What you're only just now realizing what a scam government is? Government is organized crime, nothing more, nothing less.

  15. Re:Still clicking the links in emails? on Bank Accounts Vulnerable For Victims of ZeuS Trojan Variant 'Gameover' · · Score: 2

    No one can program their own space shuttle launch. That's why it takes a team - even for NASA.

    As for YOUR post - if you drive a car you are expected to know a) how an internal combustion engine works and what oil is for and why you should check it once in a while b) whether your car runs on diesel or gasoline/petrol c) how to change a flat tire and d) when to take your car in for service/repairs. If you don't know the preceeding, then you really shouldn't be driving a car. Likewise with computers.

  16. Re:Ha! Stupid criminals on Bank Accounts Vulnerable For Victims of ZeuS Trojan Variant 'Gameover' · · Score: 2

    Yep, it's not like you're going to be taking a hit on the lost interest, either. When you factor in service charges, it costs you money to keep your money in a bank. And if they can't even keep your money safe, well, what is the point?

  17. Re:Ha! Stupid criminals on Bank Accounts Vulnerable For Victims of ZeuS Trojan Variant 'Gameover' · · Score: 3, Informative

    That is not specific to a country. Any government will do.

  18. Re:Something doesn't add up... on A Floating Home For Tech Start-ups · · Score: 5, Funny

    Well when you were promised a job in IT - they didn't mention exactly what sort of IT position it was. Now pedal faster, we need more CPU cycles dammit!

  19. Re:I've noticed this too on Europe's Largest IT Company To Ban Internal Email · · Score: 1

    Your petty reply is to be expected from a junior employee.

  20. Re:Colour me surprised on Europe's Largest IT Company To Ban Internal Email · · Score: 1

    May be a huge company but it's certainly not the "biggest IT company in Europe". I believe IBM still has offices in Europe...

  21. Re:using words hard speaking more easy on Europe's Largest IT Company To Ban Internal Email · · Score: 1

    And yet some brilliant manager decided to hire them, instead of an unemployed 50 year old who could read and write.

  22. Re:I've noticed this too on Europe's Largest IT Company To Ban Internal Email · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Ah but those people who say one thing and then never do it.

    Describes almost anyone in a large corporation. No wonder they want to get rid of email.

  23. Re:Man in the middle on Restaurants Plan DNA-Certified Seafood Program · · Score: 1

    Still any decent chef knows exactly what he's buying without a "DNA" test. I've worked at a restaurant and it's damned hard work if you're doing it right.

  24. Mexican engineering on Earthscraper Takes Sustainable Design Underground · · Score: 3, Funny

    Yes I can trust them to pump sewage up 65 floors with absolutely no problems what so ever...

  25. Patients on Muslim Medical Students Boycott Darwin Lectures · · Score: 1

    Should boycott muslim doctors, and that's that.
