  1. Watch out If any of the robots build themselves legs so they can climb to the top of the factory and jump off. They may have become sentient.

  2. I once got a few points knocked off my working code because of comments. I was told I didn't have enough General comments. My next program had nice blocks of comments about General Lee, General Custer, and many other famous generals. My instructor wasn't nearly as amused as I was. Imagine that.

  3. How can you tell a politician is lying? on How Technology Disrupted the Truth (theguardian.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    How can you tell a politician is lying? Their lips are moving.

    That is why we should elect Jeff Dunham President of the United States.

    Walter can run for Vice President. Plenty of precedent for having a dummy for VP.

  4. She finds it inconvenient to follow the rules on Clinton: It's 'Heartbreaking' When IT Workers Must Train H-1B Replacements (computerworld.com) · · Score: 1

    She finds it inconvenient to follow the rules. Why would she expect anyone else to follow the rules either?

  5. People who dance backwards into the street... on Cops Warn Pokemon Go Players: Please Don't Trespass To Catch 'em All (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    People who dance backwards into the street... and get ran over by ice cream trucks can and have successfully sued the driver for "damages".

    Need to update my sign, No trespassing, No swimming, No fishing, and No hunting (includes Pokemon).

  6. Re:How long will it last though? on Pokemon Game Adds $7.5 Billion To Nintendo Market Value In Two Days (reuters.com) · · Score: 3, Funny

    Harvest them all!

  7. New reality show based on extreme weather on What Air Conditioning Can Teach Us About Innovation and Laziness (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    New reality show based on extreme weather,

    You expose people to the opposite weather they are accustomed to. Not sure if Rednecks would do better in the cold up North than Yankees down here in the summer when it is 95+ in the shade.

  8. Don't hire Ice Tea on IMAX Will Build You a Home Theater -- Starting at $400K (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Don't hire Ice Tea, he might survive your game!

  9. Rick Roll for President on Clinton Tech Plan Reads Like Silicon Valley Wish List (usatoday.com) · · Score: 1

    Rick Roll for President! Hell, given the current state of this election, a Rick Roll President sounds like a good idea.

    US gets "Rick Rolled" in the election and they loved it so much they won't even complain about his birth certificate from Hawaii.

  10. Re:Pizza The Hut on Minecraft Movie To Compete With Avengers and Star Wars In 2019 (polygon.com) · · Score: 2

    You sure taste good Boss!

  11. They will be big enough... on Bigger Isn't Better As Mega-Ships Get Too Big and Too Risky · · Score: 1

    They will be big enough...when you don't "sail" the ship, you just drive a truck or run a train across the ship to cross the Pacific.

  12. Saved time - Proper Perspective on Programmer Automates His Job For 6 Years, Gets Fired, Realizes He Has Forgotten How To Code · · Score: 1

    You then have to take the "saved time" subtract the "time spent on solitaire" which I am fairly sure equals negative infinity across the entire MS user base.

  13. That little bastard Clippy... on Microsoft Is Buying LinkedIn For $26.2 Billion (microsoft.com) · · Score: 4, Funny

    That little bastard Clippy...better not "fix" my resume.

  14. I want a smart snobby toaster on Atari Is Going To Build IoT Devices (pcmag.com) · · Score: 1

    I want a smart snobby toaster than orders its own fresh bread to toast, because it is too good to toast old bread.

  15. Feedback Loop on Atari Is Going To Build IoT Devices (pcmag.com) · · Score: 1

    I enjoyed my circuits class. I did have to work to wrap my head around the idea of a feedback loop where the output of a circuit can be wired back as an input to the circuit changing the output and also the input changing the output changing the input.... ok make it STOP! ;)

  16. Re:Not a Ransom on Hackers Find Bugs, Extort Ransom, Call It a Public Service (threatpost.com) · · Score: 1

    There has been a breach and anyone involved is under obligation to report it as such. I am sure enough people will pay to keep it quiet and this type of action profitable.

  17. College Admission/Voting/Drinking Age should match on Billionaire Technologist Accuses NASA Asteroid Mission of Bad Statistics (sciencemag.org) · · Score: 1

    I think College Admission/Voting/Drinking Age should match. I love how you are "too immature" to make reasonable life choices about drinking at an age you are making many life altering decisions. I finished my first semester of college at the age of 17.

  18. What are human energy reserves called? on Sorry, There's Nothing Magical About Breakfast (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    What are human energy reserves called?

    Seems like exercising without food intake would prompt the body to "fork over" them reserves.

  19. Free Cholesterol Test on Sorry, There's Nothing Magical About Breakfast (nytimes.com) · · Score: 4, Interesting

    My grandfather told me to watch out for those so called, "free cholesterol test". He said, "That test cost me my bacon!"

    Side note, he lived to be 91 years old. ~ 30 years after the test.

  20. Frozen bread taste like the contents it was frozen with or near. It looses that "fresh bread" texture that makes most crap fast food patties taste "better".

  21. Just let me know when I get to cut my hedges with laser shears. Or better yet, cut my whole yard in one burst!

  22. Unleash HEL!!! on Combat Lasers To Be Added To US Fighter Jets (nextbigfuture.com) · · Score: 1

    Unleash HEL!!!

    I am sure some "military management" will demand a personal inkjet on their desk still.

  23. You have to shred a few million... on Judge Rodney Gilstrap Sees A Quarter Of The Nation's Patent Cases (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    You have to shred a few million...to get that warm and comfy filling in a good mattress.

  24. A bit early on Scientists Reveal How We Can Forget On Purpose · · Score: 0

    A bit early for Hillary Clinton to start interviewing for staff when she hasn't won yet.

    "They saw that people who'd been ordered to forget thought less about the context. The better people were at wiping nature-related thoughts from their minds, the fewer words they could later recall from their list."

  25. Parse this sentence. on Google's AI Is Devouring Romance Novels (cbsnews.com) · · Score: 1

    I saw a boy in a yellow shirt with a telescope.
