  1. More wind on US Dept. of Energy Wants Bigger Wind Energy Ideas · · Score: 2, Funny

    So can we just everyone to eat more curry?

  2. He won't get extradited on America Versus the UFO Hacker · · Score: 1

    All he has to do is complain it's against his fucking Human Rights(TM) since there's a chance that he might be tortured in the US and he'll be let off the hook...

  3. Pac-Man on Breakthroughs In HTML Audio Via Manipulation With JavaScript · · Score: 0

    Pac-Man played sound on the Google homepage, wasn't that done in JavaScript?

  4. Re:WTFBT on BT Gets Exclusive Rights To OnLive In the UK · · Score: 1

    I know you're in a shared house so your choice of ISP might be limited (your house might have that TV On Demand package I've seen advertised) but there are (is?) a wealth of much better ISPs out there.

    http://www.dslzoneuk.net/isp_ratings.php

    This list is very useful so it be worth your while having a look. I was with Virgin ADSL at one point, it was even worse than what you're experiencing...

  5. FTFS on Novell Wins vs. SCO · · Score: 5, Funny

    No doubt this is the last we will ever hear of any of this.

    What are you doing? Trying out lines for cheesy movie dialog?

    [Novell stands over the fallen body of SCO]

    Novell: No doubt this is the last we will ever hear of any of this. Come on everybody, let's go home

    [As Novell turns and walks off, the hand of SCO twitches slightly and we hear a sinister laugh.]

    [Cut to credits]

  6. Adult sites on Facebook's Plan To Automatically Share Your Data · · Score: 3, Funny

    Hopefully they won't partner with adult sites...

  7. No mention of on Cooling the Planet With a Bubble Bath · · Score: 5, Funny

    a rubber duck. It's not a proper bubble bath without a rubber duck.

  9. Who cares? on DarkPlaces Dev Forest Hale Corrects Nexuiz GPL Stance · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It's just going to be another uninspired, derivative, run-of-the-mill arena shooter you played to death 10 years ago.

  10. Re:Have you tried this thing called 'Google'? on Recommendations For C++/OpenGL Linux Tutorials? · · Score: 1

    A friend and longtime OpenGL programmer told me about NeHe's tutorials as a good step after the command-line programs started to get old, but there's a problem: all the tutorials are very Windows-based

    Thanks for RTFS

  11. Let me be the first to say on Anti-Gamer South Australian Attorney General Quits · · Score: 5, Funny

    RAGE QUIT!

  12. Apirl? on Google Reported Ready To Leave China April 10 · · Score: 1

    I really they'd had said April 1st instead. That would have foxed everyone :)

  13. That's no dust cloud on Planck Mission Releases Images of Galactic Dust · · Score: 2, Funny

    Best call the Fantastic Four, it sounds like we're about to receive a visit from the Silver Surfer

  14. Good stuff on Ex-Sun Chief Dishes Dirt On Gates, Jobs · · Score: 3, Funny

    Hopefully it'll be good stuff, like him only tipping 6% or never washing his hands when he took a whizz (because it comes out the end, not the sides). Hopefully they'll include the time he slapped Steve Ballmer upside the head for not siding with him over Vista's design.

    But unfortunately it'll probably just be some boring anti-trust nonsense.

    4432. What will you change in copyright law, whilst still making sure that the 2 years+ unemployed bloke next door can come up a new idea and use it to get out of the rut that he's currently stuck in?

  16. $2 Billion?! on Hedge Fund Offers $2 Billion For Novell · · Score: 4, Funny

    Where the hell did they get that kind of money? I guess that even during a recession people still need their hedges pruned and their bushes trimmed.

  17. Here's a patch on Passage of Time Solves PS3 Glitch · · Score: 0

    bool isLeapYear = (((year % 4 == 0) && (year % 100 != 0)) || (year % 400 == 0));

    unlearn it and learn it again!

  23. Geranium Laser? on First Room-Temperature Germanium Laser Completed · · Score: 1

    Cool! And I guess all you need to power it is plenty of sunlight, water and the occasional packet of Baby Bio.

  24. Re:Sheer monotony of quests in Mass Effect 1 on Review: Mass Effect 2 · · Score: 1

    Aren't side quests generally quite monotonous anyway? Mind you, if the reward doesn't outstrip the effort then it's not worth it.

  25. Re:Well... on FCC's Net Neutrality Plan Blocks BitTorrent · · Score: 1

    Thanks for adding in the word SARCASM at the end. If you hadn't done that I would have thought you were being serious. /JOKE
