    Here's the perfect gift for all you goatse fans

    (Whatever happened to Natalie Portman? I hardly ever see her around here any more.)

    She opened up her own restaurant

    Doesn't anybody pay attention around here?

  3. Doubt it. on Irish Company Claims Free Energy · · Score: 1

    " I couldn't help but notice that the "o" in the company logo (that is also the website icon) looks rather familiar in shape and color to the Xbox 360 spiral."

    If by similar you mean round, then yes I think you are onto something ;-)

    I personally think someone put too much juice in the Irish Coffee.

  4. Re:Which Congressman? on Judge Rules NSA Wiretapping Unconstitutional · · Score: 1

    "Which Congressman will have the courage to introduce articles of impeachment?"

    More importantly, any bets on which Congressman will introduce a bill for a "new and improved" FISA II

    "I'm going to start using the word "VirtualDub" as often as I can"

    Be sure to use it as a verb, that really pisses off trademark holders.

    IANAL, so how do I know? I googled it and sure enough, trademark owners hate that.
    Google it yourself and see.

  8. Re:'fake news' indeed on Fake News Stories Probed · · Score: 1

    Why do so many people get "Fox News" shows confused with "Fox opinion and commentary" shows? Is it just because it's on the same network?

    Because it's impossible to tell the difference.

  9. Re:If you can afford it, why not? on Kids with Cell Phones, How Young is Too Young? · · Score: 1

    it means being able to track them if they go missing, and it means they can call you when they do something dumb. Concentrate on raising good kids and you won't have a problem with them abusing it anyway.

    Please. An 8 year old wouldn't go missing due to the lack of a cellphone if parents were actually concentrating on raising their kids.

  10. Re:Why Survivor Works on The Game Design of Survivor · · Score: 3, Insightful

    "They're stuck with two assholes and having to choose from the lesser of two evils."

    Based on that description, and the popularity of the show,
    you'd think more people would be interested in politics.

  11. Re:This has been around for years on Skin Sensing Table Saw · · Score: 1

    "The blade retractor is a side benefit. When the saw blade is abruptly stopped by the blade brake, the angular momentum from that causes the blade to retract"

    Then it would seem to me that the saw industry should develop a safety system to retract the blade only,
    using a different technique than relying on the sudden stopping of the blade. That would eliminate
    the major complaint people seem to have with the SawStop system (replacing the brake/blade).

    I think the SawStop technology is great but don't agree with the way they are trying to force its adoption.
    Manufacturers should adopt it based on customer demand. Clearly some people are interested in having this
    technology available, while there are others who definitely DON'T want it due to cost/downtime considerations.

  12. Re:Barest of essentials... on Old Methods Used to Detect Liquid Explosives · · Score: 1

    " will they ban breasts, since they contain liquids"

    No, but you may need to provide a friendly TSA agent a sample "strictly for uh, verification purposes Miss"

    Immediately? I think you're being a bit generous.

    I agree. I've been doing that for years and it totally solved my poverty problem.

  24. Re:There is on How Do I Filter Phone Calls on a Land Line? · · Score: 4, Funny

    Even if you were to obtain a "wife", they are notoriously difficult to program, and periodically
    exhibit erratic behavior that is difficult to diagnose.

    I believe the "Asterisk" solution suggested earlier would be less troublesome, and far less costly to operate.
