  1. Re:Bribe? on Game Reviewers Face Odd Bribery From Publishers · · Score: 0

    The sword, brass knuckles and rotting meat etc. I wouldn't consider a bribe,.

    Plus, they are useful in fighting off the zombie hords. Bait your traps with the meat, then beat them up with the knuckles, and wack them to pieces with the sword, which will leave you with more rotting meat for your traps.

  2. Re:Liberty Office Suite on OpenOffice.org Declares Independence From Oracle, Becomes LibreOffice · · Score: 0

    Sorry, that name would be banned in China. Do you really want to cut off a very large chunk of possible users?

  3. Re:It's all in the name on OpenOffice.org Declares Independence From Oracle, Becomes LibreOffice · · Score: 0

    They should follow the other free software groups, and pick something that is descriptive of the product, short to type, easy to remember, and cool sounding, like "Peristeronic Flanderglass Efface".

    Shouldn't that be floatation devices?

  5. Re:This is news for nerds? Stuff that matters? on Segway UK Boss Dies After Driving Off Cliff · · Score: 0

    In Logan Utah the cars have to worry about pedestrians, especially the city vehicles. The fact that they mostly drive on the sidewalks (to miss the stoplights and other street signs) at full speed just adds to the thrill.

  6. Re:Alas poor segway, I knew him not so well on Segway UK Boss Dies After Driving Off Cliff · · Score: 0

    When you think of it, the Segway is just a motorized big-wheel missing the front wheel. It would have been much simpler to use the normal front-to-back format, saving all the extra hardware required for balancing. I'd think a low-cost scooter would make more of a difference than an expensive back end of a tricycle.

  7. In other news on In Case of Emergency, Please Remove Your Bra · · Score: 0

    False alarms for chemical attacks have increased 800%. The issue is still under investigation.

  8. It would never have worked on Scientists Using Lasers To Cool Molecules · · Score: 0

    "Ever since audiences heard Goldfinger utter the famous line, "No, Mr. Bond; I expect you to die," as a laser beam inched its way toward James Bond and threatened to cut him in half,

    It's obvious that this was doomed to failure from the very beginning. They forgot about the shark.

  9. What About on Paper-Thin Batteries Provide Bendable Power · · Score: 1, Interesting

    What about toxic effects on children? Right now we are dealing with lead paint and asbestos in our homes. What kind of problems will we see with kids eating this kind of paint/paper? If you don't think they would eat this, just look at how many of them still get pennys stuck up their noses. Eating paper is no big deal for them.

  10. Plastic on YouTube Videos On Display At the Guggenheim · · Score: 0

    Do we get to see such import videos, like a plastic Jesus statue dancing in a bottle of urine? Government subsidied, of course.

  11. Whaa? on The A-Team of IT — and How To Assemble One · · Score: 0

    If I get hired into one of these, will I have to get a mohawk? Because, you see, with my pattern baldness, it will end up looking like some strange japanese samauri thing, and I have serious problems talking without syncing with my lips.

  12. Re:possum is a food group here in alabama. on Opossums Overrun Brooklyn, Fail To Eliminate Rats · · Score: 0

    Seriously though, no one in their right mind down here would try to destroy a rat problem with a possum problem.

    We are talking about a Government agency, so isn't this already obvious?

    Who else would think that something that is smaller than a rat, and who prefers eating already dead animals anyway, would be an ambitious rat killer.

    Just you wait! Once Scientology buys SCO, all you Linux geeks will have to submit $699 to them, and submit to a personality test and thee weeks of auditing.

  14. Re:Weve seen that argument before on HDCP Master Key Is Legitimate; Blu-ray Is Cracked · · Score: 0

    If the chef at your local restaurant had to pay royalties whenever he used a recipe published by a celebrity chef would you have a tastier and more enjoyable meal?

    Just the other day, I was dining in a 5 star restaurant, when Darth Vader came in shrieking at the chef for stealing all his best recipes, followed by Captain Kirk smacking everyone with his cookbook. I just ignored them and kept on eating my Martha Stewart Pancakes.

    How many restaurants use celebrity cookbooks, beyond the "Pick up dead animal from roadside, throw in fire, eat" style of fine family dining? Have you ever eaten anything made from one of those books? Especially from one of their dieting cookbooks. They are obviously not entertainers because of their cooking skills.

  15. Re:So... on SCO Puts Unix Assets On the Block · · Score: 0

    Once SCO gets rid of this division, what will they sell, exactly?

    Same thing they are selling right now. Wishful diversions for companies that feel threatened by IBM's existence.

  16. Re:A hot opportunity on SCO Puts Unix Assets On the Block · · Score: 0

    I'd imagine this will be a hot thing to buy. You could take it, and then sue all these big Linux companies. It's a win-win situation. What could go wrong?

    You could end up as a bankrupt company, having lost all of your suits, owe large sums of money to Novell, and still have McBride as your CEO.

    Remember, the first rule of the Obama Fan Club is to never talk about the Obama Fan Club.

    The second rule of the Obama Fan Club is to destroy any bad Obama press. Denial of service is an acceptable 1st step.

    The political laws do not matter. Anyone who impunes the honer of the most high lord Obama must be punished! As the reincarnation of God himself, Obama is well within His right to have this obamanation punished! This slanderous teen should have divine lightning bolts strike him from above, or at least patriot missiles. His holiest virtues shall not be questioned.

    Anyway, that teen is probably just a typical white person.

    The President doesn't own the US soil, airports, etc. Hell, some Presidents (Clinton) didn't even own their own home.

    And some of them (the same ones) only bought a house in NY that they very rarely use, just to fulfil the requirements to become their senator. Now that she's no longer a Senator, they don't even need to bother visiting that rathole state any longer.
