  1. Well, Isn't THIS inconvenient!! on Climatic Research Unit Hacked, Files Leaked · · Score: 1

    (said in a Dana Carvey / Church Lady voice)

  2. This Gives me a Great Idea ... on Save the Planet, Eat Your Dog · · Score: 1

    Kill and feed all the eco-fascist progressives *TO* my dogs.

  3. Re:Microsoft won't do it themselves on Google To Host International SVG Conference · · Score: 1

    ... "it's basic product bundling, to get you to use Microsoft's approach to everything."

    How innovative.

  4. Re:Backwards on Emergency Government Control of the Internet? · · Score: 1

    "Five guys and a moving van are also strong enough to take everything you have."

    Not with a 12 ga. shotgun slug embedded in each of their sternums and one more in the engine block of the truck.

  5. Default Settings on How Can I Tell If My Computer Is Part of a Botnet? · · Score: 1, Insightful

    For some reason, he reset the config on the Linksys, and connected it up without wireless security, and also with the default admin password for some time.

    He probably just stuck a pencil in the reset button. Maybe because he was having connection problems for some other reason and that "fixed" it and he was happy. Ignorance is bliss ... for a while.

  6. Really, now on Lawyer Offers $1M For Proof His Client Could Have Done It; Oops · · Score: 3, Funny

    Does anybody really care which one of these lawyer scumbags prevails?

  7. Re:Weak screen mount? on Asus Launches Eee PC T91, a Touch-Screen Tablet Netbook · · Score: 1

    As a time-traveller from July 2010, I can assure you that ... (blah blah blah ...)

    WHO WON THE FUCKIN' SUPER BOWL, FER CHRISSAKE?!!

  8. What's that noise? on Google Announces Chrome OS, For Release Mid-2010 · · Score: 1

    I can swear I hear chairs being thrown around. Sounds like it's coming from the NW US.

  9. Acid Tests on Firefox 3.5 Reviewed; Draws Praise For HTML5, Speed · · Score: 1

    Looks like everybody's trying out their new installations on the Acid Tests 'cause it's /.'d.

  10. My faviorite "Bidenism" on Biden Reveals Location of Secret VP Bunker · · Score: 1

    (sort of like "Yogi-isms only not clever or funny, just stupid bullshit)

    Right after the stock market crash of 1929, FDR went on television to address the American people. Of course I always wondered what the Secretary of the Navy would talk about on TV, especially since the only person who might have been able to watch it was Philo T. Farnsworth.

  11. Single Page Version? on Why Is It So Difficult To Fire Bad Teachers? · · Score: 1

    Awww, I thought the single page version was shortened. How can the product of the public school system be expected to maintain his attention span through the entire text?

  12. Bottled CO2? on Is Alcohol Killing Our Planet? · · Score: 1

    "And don't forget that bars and pubs force beer through to there pumps using large compressed cylinders of CO2. Does anyone know?"

    Where do you suppose bottled CO2 comes from? The same place to which it returns. The air. This looks like an April Fool's post (but you never know). It's really stupid but it's not that funny or clever.

  13. The science of global warming is settled on The Global Warming Heretic · · Score: 5, Funny

    The votes are in. The cutoff point for new knowledge has passed.

    We have to have a cutoff point. Otherwise we might discover we were wr... wr... misinterpreted and taken out of context.

  14. Died in Obscurity?!! on The First Phone Call Was 133 Years Ago · · Score: 3, Insightful

    How could he have died in obscurity if we're discussing him today? I'm still trying to find out who, from the US, invented the automobile (according to Obama). Now, *THAT GUY* died in obscurity.

  15. If I wanted to support GM ... on GM Cornered Into Defending the Volt · · Score: 1

    ... I'd buy one of their dog-shit cars or invest in their dog-shit stock. They haven't made a decent car or sensible strategic business decision in 40 years. It's bad enough my tax $s are supporting this corpse, what happens when the Volt doesn't sell even WITH subsidies? The solution: more incentives to buy GM cars and disincentives to buy the car you REALLY want.

    Extinctions are essential in nature and in business, and GM need to become extinct. They're already dead. Why can't everybody see that?

  16. Re:Why are they so easyly bought or manipulated on New Bill Would Repeal NIH Open Access Policy · · Score: 4, Funny

    "perhaps we should outsource our entire government to buddhist monks"

    Those crooks?!!

  17. What would they sell? on Microsoft To Open Retail Stores · · Score: 1

    The Scotch Boutique comes to mind.

    "Well, ... we got Windows ... and we got Office ... we got Office ... and we got Windows ... so, what'll it be today?"

  18. What?!! This is nothing!! on Senator Diane Feinstein Trying to Kill Net Neutrality · · Score: 1

    "What?!! This is nothing!! This happens all the time! Stop worrying!!"
    (Paraphrase of Dustin Hoffman character whenever something goes wrong in "Wag the Dog".)

    It will be years before we know what is in this abomination of a bill. 5, 10, 15 years from now you'll be reading about the unmitigated stupidity of it.

    But I look at it the same way the politicians do - hopefully, I'll be dead by the time the bill comes due.

  19. Well, that settles it on Global Warming Irreversible, NOAA Scientist Finds · · Score: 1

    I thought the science of global warming was settled. Why are we still studying and discussing it? I guess someone thought there was just a bit more room for additional info.

    Can we now declare this the cutoff point for new knowledge?

  20. Re:Huh? What? on MS Silverlight To Stream Obama Inauguration Events · · Score: 0, Redundant

    "Boy, talk about cherry picking a slanted conclusion..."

    Really. Please. We can stop that practice now that George "Fuckin'" Bush is almost gone.

  21. Re:Humor? Entertainment? on Woman Claims Ubuntu Kept Her From Online Classes · · Score: 1

    Yeah a lot of people really have no concept of the context in which they are doing something on a computer. I was helping a female co-worker in another department recently and I asked her something like "Were you trying to do that through Outlook or Internet Explorer?". She slowly turns to me with a blank, wide-eyed expression, raises her hands and says "All I know is, I come to work, I log in and I do my job."

    And that's ALL she knows.

  22. I like analog trees better on Christmas Tree Made From 70 SCSI Hard Drives · · Score: 1

    That does not resemble, nor is it likely to be confused with a Christmas Tree.

  23. ALL Teachers are Paragons of Virtue (myth) on When Teachers Are Obstacles To Linux In Education · · Score: 2, Insightful

    "Teachers sacrifice" "Teachers give of themselves" "Teachers cultivate minds" "Teachers are heroes" Just some of the myths about teachers that the media bombard us with.

    Call it a profession or vocation if you want. Teaching is an occupation. A way to pull down a paycheck. A job. And many do their job very badly. Just as there are bad programmers, bad mechanics, bad doctors and bad ditch-diggers. Where did we get the impression that teachers are somehow immune to ignorance, bias or incompetence? In fact, you could make argument that incompetence in other professions is *_because_* of bad teachers.

  24. I like to hit myself with a hammer repeatedly ... on Explore the Web From China · · Score: 1

    ... because it feels so good when I stop.

  25. OOXML on OpenOffice.org 3.0 Is Officially Here · · Score: 4, Funny

    OpenOffice.org: "It's fully compliant and supports Microsoft OOXML file format."

    Microsoft: "AHAAAAHH!! That's not possible. Uh, ... I mean ... uh, ..." (Psst, hey, did we miss something? How'd they do that?)
