  1. Re:My only question on Time Zone Database Has New Home After Lawsuit · · Score: 1

    With ICANN in charge, that's a good bet.

  2. Re:RIP on Dennis Ritchie, Creator of C Programming Language, Passed Away · · Score: 1

    It's ok. He won't be returning.

  3. New ad campaign on iOS 5 Update Available · · Score: 1

    iOS5
    There's no step 19!

  4. Re:Might Be Useful on DHS Goes Ahead With 'Pre-Crime' Detection Project · · Score: 1

    Can we use this on politicians before they are elected?

    Who would run?

  5. Re:I wonder on DHS Goes Ahead With 'Pre-Crime' Detection Project · · Score: 1

    Where did they find so many criminals to be able to test out these detection methods to be able to say that they work?

    Didn't you read the part in TFA where it says: refers to a "limited" initial trial using DHS employees as test subjects.

  6. Re:Astrolo-GY?! on Civil Suit Filed, Involving the Time Zone Database · · Score: 1

    What, did their crystal ball tell them they'd win in court?

    No, but perhaps the stars and planets did.

  7. Tech Support on India Launches $35 Tablet · · Score: 4, Funny

    So, will they outsource their tech support to America?

  8. Re:Silly. on Returning Power From Electric Cars To the Grid · · Score: 2

    Depends on perspective.

    Silly, if you own the car.
    Genius, if you sell car batteries.

  9. Re:Dirt over the urn? on Doritos Creator Art West Dead at 97 · · Score: 2

    And in this specific instance, after Art West's ashes have been scattered, you can fill the urn with dip and have some chips at the wake!

    Just don't double dip. That's disgusting

  10. Re:1 in 3200? on New Images of Tumbling US Satellite From Theirry Legaullt · · Score: 1

    Imaging if it knocks out power and some milk goes bad somewhere.
    I'd wager the chance of any one person dying it the ensuing zombiepocolypse is far greater than 1 in 3200.

  11. Re:Proof that the system is corrupt on $300M To Save 6 Milliseconds · · Score: 1

    Why not simply allow trades to occur on a globally synchronized one second interval.
    That would eliminate this whole race for faster links, moving your datacenter closer to the exchange, bullshit.
    And would probably make the markets a whole lot more stable. Oh wait, nevermind. Just answered my own question.

  12. Re:how to use best buy warranties on Do You Want Best Buy Opening Your New Laptop? · · Score: 1

    That's how to use a BestBuy warranty?!!!

    Sounds more like why you should avoid BestBuy at all costs.

  13. Re:Great ! An even thinner device on Apple Patents Cutting 3.5mm Jack in Half · · Score: 1

    With a smaller battery :(

    As compensation, they will make it 2-3 times as fragile.

  14. Re:I hope they throw the book at him on Fired Techie Created Virtual Chaos At Pharma Co. · · Score: 1

    There are no circumstances in which doing the equivalent of burning down your former place of employment is a legitmate move in a dispute.

    What if they took your stapler?

  15. Re:default on CERN To Tap Unused Desktop Power To Help Find Higgs Boson · · Score: 1

    Do you work for Dell by any chance?

  16. Re:A somewhat obvious and panicky article on Spotify To Bait and Switch? · · Score: 2

    "If you do not wholly control a non-DRMed local file, you don't have shit"

    Duh. It's a music rental service. If you don't like it, don't use it. Buy your MP3s or CDs instead.

    Did it really require a whole article in the Harvard Business Review. What next "Stay Away From Redbox, You Cant Keep Those DVDs"

  17. Re:I love this on Anonymous To Release Sun, News of the World Emails · · Score: 2

    Oops... Seems Murdoch stepped in a big pile of shhhhh . . . aving cream

  18. Protest Domains on ICANN To Allow .brandname Top-Level Domains · · Score: 2

    Great. Now we can have one stop shopping for protest domains.

    riaa.go.fuck.yourself
    sony.go.fuck.yourself
    mpaa.go.fuck.yourself

    Anybody got a spare 185k kicking around?

  19. Re:how they know on Palin Fans Deface Paul Revere Wikipedia Page · · Score: 1

    Do Palin fans really need discrediting?

  20. Re:Not an iPhone on Man Ordered At Gunpoint To Hand Over Phone For Recording Cops · · Score: 1

    Also, since TFA says "The three-minute video captured on Narces Benoit’s HTC EVO phone"
    that might be a clue as well.

  21. Re:Ironically Enough on Anonymous Steals 10,000 Iranian Government Emails · · Score: 1

    Same here. Was getting that on all the stories for a while.

    Anyone else seeing a blank space at the top of the main page (running FF 3.6.x on XP)

  22. Re:Great White on AC/DC Music Attracts Great White Sharks · · Score: 1

    Not likely. If it sounded like Great White, they'd be swimming *away* from it.

  23. Re:Seriously... on Skype Crashes and Burns In Worldwide Outage · · Score: 1

    Agreed. And as much as people here like to rail against the idiots on Digg, at least their site has a mechanism to bury dumbass stories like this.

  24. Re:I have lots of Samsung Phones on Samsung Ordered To Hand Over Unreleased Designs To Apple · · Score: 1

    Well presumably they are only going to copy the good ideas, not the stupid ones.

  25. Re:Tesla Turbines on The Challenges of Tapping Blood Flow For Power · · Score: 1

    In a pig's ass they don't.

    Point taken, but how about inside, say, a human artery?
