  1. Re:Blame Iran on US State Dept. Loses Anti-Terrorist Program Laptops · · Score: 4, Funny

    They're using them and a bunch of XBoxes to create a supercomputer possible of calculating what wacky thing the president is going to do next. I think the word is spelled "stuporcomputer"
  2. Re:I tried, I really did. . . on Orson Scott Card Blasts J.K. Rowling's Lawsuit · · Score: 1

    I read the Harry Potter books and enjoy them, perhaps even more so knowing that people like will never understand why.

    "*whoosh*"

    Wow, not only is that Anonymous Coward guy quite the prolific poster, he also makes fun of himself for failing to detect sarcasm.

    You really should stay on your meds, Mr. AC.

  6. Re:US Government Olive Drab Duct Tape on How Duct Tape Saved Apollo 17's Moon Buggy · · Score: 1

    Once the paperwork was all squared away, someone was sent in to the sub to remove the roll of duct tape - only to find that it wasn't there anymore!

    That just goes to show, given a choice between duct tape and red tape, choose the duct tape.

  7. Re:Profit! on Unreleased Atari 2600 Game Found At Flea Market · · Score: 2, Funny

    Change "flea market" to "ebay", for some real profit.

  8. Translation on RIAA Sues Homeless Man · · Score: 3, Insightful

    The RIAA's lawyers were threatened with sanctions by the Magistrate Judge in the case, for making misleading representations to the Court which the Magistrate felt were intentional. The District Judge, however, disagreed with imposing sanctions, giving the RIAA's lawyers 'as officers of the Court the benefit of the doubt,' and instead concluded ... that the RIAA's lawyers were just being 'sloppy' and had not made the misstatements for an improper purpose.' Or, to quote Hanlon....

  12. Re:Ban this troll, and some other advice! on Open Source Patent Donations? · · Score: 1

    Better yet, since I'm sure many of you here run Firefox with ABP, why not just add *.nimp.org to your filtered sites?

  14. Re:Why is it... on Material Converts Radiation Into Electricity · · Score: 1

    Clearly you've never heard of "youtube"

    In fact, there's an entire army of people who've figured out you can power an automobile entirely from plain water.
    They have videos and everything. It's totally amazing.

    What's really surprising is that the auto industry hasn't incorporated this amazing discovery into their new vehicles.
