  1. Not Cows? on Humans are Causing Global Warming · · Score: 1

    Humans? I always thought cows did.

  2. Right... on Can Terrorists Build a Nuclear Bomb? · · Score: 1

    'I don't think the public ought to lose a lot of sleep over the issue,' says nuclear physicist Tom Cochran of the Natural Resources Defense Council.

    Because if it goes off in your neighborhood there is very little you can do about it anyway.

  3. Re:You jest, however on Microsoft's Martin Taylor Responds · · Score: 4, Funny

    "It's one of those thigns that ought not to be necessary, since veryone ought to check their code, but is quite nice in reality.

    In a perfect world everyone should check their spelling, typing, and grammar too.

  4. Re:Cheese Eating Surrender Monkeys on French Court Orders Google to Stop Competing Ad Displays · · Score: 1

    Guess they (the Frogs) prefer Jerry Louis over the Simpsons.

  5. Cheese Eating Surrender Monkeys on French Court Orders Google to Stop Competing Ad Displays · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Now when you Google "Cheese Eating Surrender Monkeys ", you get the French court system.

  6. Where's Paul Allen? on Personal Spaceflight Leaders Form New Federation · · Score: 1

    He seems to be missing from the group... "Sir" Richard Branson is also a no show.

  7. Re:How will SCO spin this? on Judge Slams SCO's Lack of Evidence · · Score: 1, Funny

    You are very right. Good example from their website:
    SCO Ranked #1 Corporate Query Site by Google. Based on billions of searches conducted by Google users around the world, the 2004 Year-End Zeitgeist ranks SCO's corporate Website as the most searched site for the year.

    Like people searched for SCO to buy their products.

  8. Re:Good news on Sci-Fi Channel Renews Battlestar Galactica · · Score: 1

    I agree. A good example of this is Heinlein's classic, Stranger in a Strange Land.

  9. 41 Signatures on FreeBSD Announces Contest To Replace Daemon Logo · · Score: 0, Troll

    Well, that's their user base.

  10. Re:Redundant Redundancy on iPod Shuffle RAID · · Score: 1

    Thank you. Please don't mod this redundant.
    For those of you who are who I, I was just trying to address, it was just me doing a joke or a comedic anecdote about the parent or the previous poster. Please take it easy. Thank you.

  11. Redundant Redundancy on iPod Shuffle RAID · · Score: 0, Redundant

    For those a little slower than the rest...
    Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks Array RAID

    Please don't mod this redundant.

  12. Uh Oh! on NASA Announces De-Orbit Mission For Hubble · · Score: 1

    Do we need to put pillows on our roofs?

  13. Lot of Reasons on Why Does Windows Still Suck? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Why do people eat at McDonald's? They definitely don't make the best burger in town.

    Things like consistency, convenience, perceived value, brand recognition, etc., all play a big role.

  14. Re:Interesting issue tho on Is Anti-Municipal Broadband Report Astroturf? · · Score: 1

    ...monthly service offered at a competitive rate...

    Why should the city even get involved then? That is what business should do. Governments could never offer the service at a competitive price (lack of accountability and efficiency). It would have to be subsidized somehow.

  15. Re:Interesting issue tho on Is Anti-Municipal Broadband Report Astroturf? · · Score: 1

    If you feel that it is the job of the government to entertain you, then yes. If you think it is more important for the government to spend money protecting and responsibly serving its citizens, then no.

  16. Re:Budgets on A Star of Space and Film · · Score: 1

    I'm definitely not a Bush fanboy but it's the House Science Committee that is really deciding on the fate of Hubble. If we want to direct our frustrations with the decision somewhere, do it towards them.

  17. Palm? on Could Your Blackberry Be Damaging Your Thumbs? · · Score: 1

    No but p0rn is damaging my palm.

  18. Re:How does this get around ASCAP royalty fees? on PC Mag Reviews Mercora P2P Radio · · Score: 1

    "When the service has established a substantial user base, Mr. Sampath plans to monetize Mercora by charging for premium services or offering paid monthly subscriptions."

    From a press release here.

  19. Anti-MPAA Software For Kids on MPAA Releases Software For Parents · · Score: 2, Funny

    So who is going to be the first to write software that will circumvent the MPAA Parent File Scan tool?

  20. Blood Suckers on MGM's DVD Class Action Settlement · · Score: 1

    The lawyers probably get the other $149,992.90 per copy.

  21. Re:I'm with you here. on Federal Obscenity Rule Nixed In Internet Porn Case · · Score: 1

    I agree to a point. The government has no right to tell us what we can do with our bodies. This does not hurt others as long as there is no socialization of the health care system. If someone takes care of their body and lives a healthy lifestyle, why should he/she have to be burdened for those who do not respect their health and require excessive medical care?

  22. A Gift from the White House on No Money For Hubble Service Mission · · Score: 2, Funny

    Maybe it'll crash on me so I won't have to worry about Social Security.

  23. Exactly on Volcanic Warming Eyed in 'Great Dying' · · Score: 3, Insightful

    "The planet has been through a lot worse than us. Been through all kinds of things worse than us. Been through earthquakes, volcanoes, plate tectonics, continental drift, solar flares, sun spots, magnetic storms, the magnetic reversal of the poles...hundreds of thousands of years of bombardment by comets and asteroids and meteors, worlwide floods, tidal waves, worldwide fires, erosion, cosmic rays, recurring ice ages...And we think some plastic bags, and some aluminum cans are going to make a difference? The planet...the planet...the planet isn't going anywhere people... we are!" ~ George Carlin
