  1. Mars & Moon on India To Launch Mars Orbiter "Mangalyaan" Tuesday · · Score: 1

    If the Moon is made of cheese, the does that mean that Mars is made of Chicken Tikka Masala?

  2. Re:Timmay! on Why Internet Explorer Still Dominates South Korea. · · Score: 1

    What about "South Korean's"? I wonder how many "editor's" missed that one...

  3. Re:Next up. on MEPs Vote To Suspend Data Sharing With US · · Score: 1

    No need for that. NSA will grab whatever they want anyway. They've been tapping all comms for decades already.

  4. Re:Thanks for reinforcing my decision, Sony on For Playstation 4 Owners, Bad News On USB, Bluetooth Headsets · · Score: 1

    You bought a Sony unit, so you *are* giving them money, albeit indirectly. If you buy a single title new, or even if you rent one, you're giving money to Sony... Hell, even if you buy a second (or third-) hand game, you still supported the beast...

  5. No one is forcing you... on For Playstation 4 Owners, Bad News On USB, Bluetooth Headsets · · Score: 1

    So don't buy the damned thing.

  6. Re:direct link on Researchers Develop the Most Detailed Map of Gravitational Variations Ever · · Score: 1

    If all the obese people go there, wouldn't that at least begin to mitigate the gravity variance?

  7. Re:For people who don't speak dutch ... on Belgium Investigates Suspected Cyber Spying By Foreign State · · Score: 1

    I don't speak freaky-deaky Dutch!

  8. This has been going on... on Belgium Investigates Suspected Cyber Spying By Foreign State · · Score: 2

    ...since only 2011?!? Consider yourselves lucky. I remember hearing about Echelon decades ago.

  9. Re:It's not element 115 on Un-Un-Pentium On Your Periodic Table of the Elements? · · Score: 1

    Intel inside. Do not divide. That was a good joke in its day. :)

  10. Re:Hope they give it a better name on Un-Un-Pentium On Your Periodic Table of the Elements? · · Score: 1

    What about "kilogram"? Kilo=Greek for 1000 and gram=Latin (gramma) for small weight.

  11. Re:Damn. Too many words. on Describe Any Location On Earth In 3 Words · · Score: 1

    Shouldn't there be two armpits? No need to quibble.

  12. Re:Question: what atmospheric constituents? on First Exoplanet To Be Seen In Color Is Blue · · Score: 2

    *Rim shot* See what I did there?

  13. Re:Suggested name of the planet on First Exoplanet To Be Seen In Color Is Blue · · Score: 5, Funny

    The Millennium Falcon could make it in 12 parsecs.

  14. Re:It must be the work of teh terrorists. on Computer Failure Disrupts British Air Traffic Control Systems · · Score: 1

    I see what you did there. Wish I had mod points!

  15. Re:Styx Rawks! on New Moons of Pluto Named Kerberos and Styx; Popular Choice 'Vulcan' Snubbed · · Score: 1

    Your future looks quite bright to me.

  16. Re:Why does DSL still exist on Alcatel-Lucent Gives DSL Networks a Gigabit Boost · · Score: 2

    I'm on 128k ISDN, you insensitive clod! :)

    Who hurt you?

    new CafeteriaCashier(manager);

    How about instead:

    manager--;

  19. Re:You are in control on Microsoft Confirms Xbox One's Phone Home Requirement, Game Resale Rules · · Score: 1

    How about "just don't buy the damn thing"?

  20. Get off Facebook on Facebook Silently Removes Ability To Download Your Posts · · Score: 1

    Moral of the story: don't use Facebook.

  21. Re:Why a hot gas planet? on Lowest Mass Exoplanet Ever Directly Imaged. Probably. · · Score: 1

    Is Kepler still working?

  22. Re:Closed devices on How Did You Learn How To Program? · · Score: 1

    I predict a backlash against closed devices in the future. Things like this are cyclical and when the pendulum swings hard one way, it swings back just as hard in the opposite direction...

  23. Re:Monsanto on Researchers Regenerate 400-Year-Old Frozen Plants · · Score: 1

    What?!?! You can't patent DNA!

  24. Re:Do these articles see any editorial oversight? on Netflix: 'Arrested Development' Won't Crash Our Service · · Score: 1

    No. "Cross'" is incorrect. You only use "s'" when the subject is plural.

  25. Re:Do these articles see any editorial oversight? on Netflix: 'Arrested Development' Won't Crash Our Service · · Score: 1

    "Cross's" is the only correct way to make the possessive in this case. Anything else would be confusing.
