  1. Re:Back to the Future on Episode III Opening Crawl Released · · Score: 4, Funny

    Is it just me, or does the whole "back to the future" approach somehow degrade the Star Wars saga?

    Agree. SW jumped the shark when Yoda said "tree you make like and get out of here!".

  2. Re:How can you ask, and still be planning to go? on Taking My Freedom With Me to China? · · Score: 1

    Now, if you're a Chinese citizen then this is all a very different kettle of fish altogether, but if you're a Westerner, just take along a floppy disk with PuTTY on it, ssh into a friend's box in the US, and tunnel HTTP over the connection. Simple and unmonitorable.

    Yes, and step back and watch the fun as the Chinese citizen who subscribes to that internet connection has to explain that to the authorities.

  3. Re:I have said it before, and I will say it again on Taking My Freedom With Me to China? · · Score: 0

    they may descend upon you in the night and drag you off to a dank prison for reeducation.

    Hey, leave me out of this!

  4. Re:Laughing Man on No Pictures, Thanks · · Score: 2, Funny

    The real question is how many people get your reference, I do

    Excellent! Five points to Gryffindor!

  5. Re:Really weird list of banned games... on China Bans 50 Games · · Score: -1, Troll

    Yes but it would still be funny to see some German kids try to invade Poland.

  6. Contaminated Cells on US Stem Cells Contaminated · · Score: 1

    make for a convenient argument for the right-wing zealots who think embryonic cells are better off in the garbage than possibly improving people's quality of life.

    By cutting off all funding for research using new stem cell lines and forcing labs to rely on the contaminated ones, they can point to the inevitably failed experiments and say "See? It wasn't going to work anyway".

  7. Re:But his opinion MIGHT change sometime on NYT On The Internet And Child Molestation · · Score: 1

    That's just me. I have other friends who see a young girl and go, "Hey hey heyy!"

    How long have you been friends with Fat Albert?

  8. Re:FCC is for regulation of frequencies, not conte on Michael Powell to Leave FCC · · Score: 1

    The way the FCC penalty system is structured, a station cannot renew or transfer licenses while the matter is open. For a large media company who relies on being able to buy and sell stations, this is a strong incentive to pay the fine and not fight it.

  9. Re:Elektra/Daredevil/Fantastic Four on Stan Lee to be Paid Millions for Spidey · · Score: 4, Funny

    And what about Daredevil and Elektra?

    No way. If I were Stan Lee, I'd sue to make sure my name stayed off the credits!

  10. Re:I'm teaching a computer class this year... on 'Evil Twin' Threat to Wireless Security · · Score: 1

    Kismet-qt on the Zaurus has a string capture function that can pluck plaintext out of the air.

  11. Re:Beware ye scurvy swabbies! on Bollywood New Releases Available via Video-On-Demand · · Score: 4, Funny

    The boats have all been sunk and Davey Jones locker has been secured for Bollywood!

    Ever since running out of royalty money, Davey Jones has had to share a locker with Peter Tork and Mickey Dolenz. Sorry for the inconvenience.

  12. Re:Regarding the permanent silence of Huygens... on Huygens Probe Lands on Titan · · Score: 2, Funny

    Great, I'm going to die with a fucking rock in my ass and nobody listening to me.

    Jim Morrison lived on Jupiter?

  13. Re:the obvious question on V for Vendetta Going to Hollywood · · Score: 1

    How about hot grits?

    AintItCool reports that Don Knotts has signed on for the role of hot grits.

  14. Re:Hmm... on Hacker Penetrates T-Mobile Systems · · Score: 2, Insightful

    So the guy hacks in to the network, steals personal information, downloads private pictures, sells all this stuff... and then he's able to get away with just one felony, no jail time, and even a work offer for the Secret Service?

    The government does this all the time in organized crime and drug cases. Look at a guy like Sammy "The Bull" Gravano. He killed god knows how many as a member of the Gambino family not to mention a list of other crimes a mile long but was given a slap on the wrist and a new identity for turning states evidence.

    Nothing new here.

  15. Re:Thanks for ruining my date.... on This Call May Be Monitored ... · · Score: 1

    Pike quickly alerted the cell phone company to the phone date.

    I don't see how he could have done that. The flashing light isn't the most expressive means of communication.

  16. Re:New meaning to "frying the web server" on Lean Mean Grilling PC Mod · · Score: 3, Funny

    Best of all, the non-stick cooking surface drains the goatse away for healthier web surfing.

  17. Re:Carmageddon on Too Much Gaming, Anyone? · · Score: 1

    I'm gonna get ya!

  18. Re:This could pan out to be very interesting on India's Cops Meet Technology · · Score: 1

    This will improve as the technology trickles down to the average Singh. After all, how many stories in the article dealt with Indian rescue crews prying apart a television to free the people trapped inside?

  19. Re:Laser Painting? on Laser Painting Could Lead to 25-Year Prison Term · · Score: 1

    Not harsh enough. If he likes lasers so much, a ten year sentence of back-to-back viewings of the Laser Pink Floyd show at the local planetarium will straighen him out.

  20. Re:Speaking of Vonage on Vonage to Produce a WiFi Phone · · Score: 1

    Oh word, they were in Kill Bill.

  21. Re:Speaking of Vonage on Vonage to Produce a WiFi Phone · · Score: 1

    General Motors has the same song on their commercial. Evil is spreading.

  22. Re:Cockos, it's what's for breakfast on Justin Frankel Reveals Life After Winamp · · Score: 1

    Just wait until you see what kind of prizes they'll have inside.

    Surely it'll sell better than Goatse O's.

  23. The Shadow Internet on Inside the Shadow Internet · · Score: 5, Funny

    The Shadow Internet is just like the real internet, except we all have goatees.

  24. Re:How did most people die? on Arthur C. Clarke Reports From Sri Lanka · · Score: 1

    If you're supposed to get in a doorway when there's an earthquake, what are you supposed to do when a tsunami hits anyway?

    They say you should flee to higher ground, but I don't see how is is possible in such densely populated areas where roads can jam quickly and panic makes it impossible to go anywhere.

  25. Re:ah on Penny Arcade Holiday Strip Series #1 · · Score: 1

    How nice of them not to blow the ending ala The Lone Gunmen.
