  1. Re:My recommendation on Intel Takes Quad Core To the Desktop · · Score: 2, Funny

    To truly appreciate Minesweeper you have to play it in the original Klingon.

  2. Re:I can't help but feel they're... on Intel Takes Quad Core To the Desktop · · Score: 1

    It's even hotter. They're all wearing Bunny Suits.

  3. Yay for White Wolf on CCP and White Wolf Games To Merge · · Score: 1

    In other news, all ship-to-ship combat in Eve will now be resolved by a round of "Rock-Paper-Scissors". Players who posess a cloaking device can signify this by crossing their arms across their chest.

  4. Re:You know you've thought about politics too much on CCP and White Wolf Games To Merge · · Score: 1

    You can always tell someone is a communist by the trenchcoat and furry hat.

  5. Re:Full text of the act on U.K. Outlaws Denial of Service Attacks · · Score: 1

    I guess that means that people like Larry Wall will be going away for centuries.

  6. It's true on Google Used To Diagnose Disease · · Score: 2, Funny

    Just last Tuesday I was feeling like a miserable failure, so I asked Google what the problem could be. I got the right answer in just one click.

  7. Re:Get Informed on Is An Uninformed Vote Better Than No Vote? · · Score: 1

    "Get your vote counted."

    Well, that's the tricky part isn't it? When you're faced with evidence that votes are not being counted and entire elections have been stolen, turning up to vote can seem like an endoresement of the system.

    "Hey, I'm voting because I have absolute faith in how this election is run and everything is A-OK!"

    I think I would have to be a lot more informed with how your country's ballots are being handled before I could trust that my vote would be counted.

  8. Re:A war over antiquated technology? on NPR Finds XM's Achilles Heel · · Score: 2, Funny

    And, in order to match the nature of your offense, the bill will be sent to your neighbour's home so that you can pick it up from them.

  9. Re:The Wii's Brain Exposed on The Wii's Brain Exposed · · Score: 1

    The first article was "Wee Brains Exposed", this one is "Wii's Brain Exposed". I don't see any possibility for confusion.

  10. Re:"GooTube" on Speculation on Google / YouTube "Hardball" · · Score: 1

    Personally, I am leaning towards the name "Tooble".

    Much like the rest of the Internet, if used correctly it can prevent you from having children.

  11. Re:Why is Second Life getting all this buzz now? on 3D Weather Data Visualization in Second Life · · Score: 1

    Actually, if you don't like what's there to offer in Second Life, DON'T USE IT. Why is that so hard to understand? It's not like there aren't any alternative ways to waste your time.

  12. Re:Conspiracy? on FBI Raids Security Researcher's Home · · Score: 1

    That's even more serious.

  13. Re:tell your girl... on Moore's Law For Razor Blades? · · Score: 1

    The more common reason is to appeal to the "Can't find anything without a flashlight and a map" side of their partners.

  14. Re:Open source & peer review on Building a Better Voting Machine · · Score: 1

    "it's a sad commentary that voting machines aren't at least as tamper-resistant as slot machines."

    That's because gambling is seens as an important activity which is important to the welfare and economy of the nation, and that cannot be allowed to be tampered with by criminals.

  15. Re:Random spot checks on Building a Better Voting Machine · · Score: 1

    No failing power supplies, no broke hard drives, no blue screens, or those votes might simply be gone.

    If "those votes might simply be gone" is even a possibility, then the device you are describing has no business being anywhere near an election.

    Of course, considering the performance of the current crop of US voting machines, merely losing votes could technically be an improvement rather than a catastrophic failure.

  16. Re:juden-raus.ie on Adult .IE Domain Names Banned As Immoral · · Score: 1

    torture-and-kill-arabs.ie, I suspect, would not raise an eyebrow here.

    I think that's military-and-intelligence-professionals.us . Please use plus-good newspeak.

  17. At least they're being realistic on Real-Time Computer-Based Translation in Iraq · · Score: 1
    From the article:

    Wayne Richards, overseeing the project for Joint Forces Command in Norfolk, Va., said the systems have been tested in quiet offices in Iraq, not the noisy war zone settings that can hinder computers' speech-recognition abilities. He expects it could be 2009 before real-time translation computers end up supporting the military in raids or other difficult scenarios.

    It's not like anyone's leaving Iraq before 2009, so why rush it?

  18. Breaking news on Youths No Longer Predominant on MySpace · · Score: 1

    This just in. People on MySpace have changed the way they lie about their age.

  19. Re:Major Nelson? on Why Sony Needs a 'Major Nelson' · · Score: 1

    Even if she can't, Falco is still looking for her.

  20. Or, on the other side of the story, on Socializing For The Win? · · Score: 1

    "Yahoo! Business has an article about drinking. Apparently, those who make more money, drink alcohol and socialize more on average."

    It's shocking to think that people may actually not drink because they don't have the money for it, but you can't argue with Yahoo! They! are! very! serious! about! this!

  21. Re:I Don't Know, Man on Illumninatus! Author Needs Our Help · · Score: 1

    I hear that a "Vice President of the United States of America" position may be opening up soon. He sounds well qualified for that.

  22. Re:Christopher Eccleston played the Eighth Doctor on Doctor Who Makes Guinness Book of World Records · · Score: 1

    I believe the regeneration has been shown in every case except for Chris Eccleston.

    Which only proves my point. This Eccleston Doctor is really The Master.

  23. Re:Not true, it is science fiction... on Doctor Who Makes Guinness Book of World Records · · Score: 1

    No, I think that makes it aptly named, although correcting the spelling to Skiffy Channel wouldn't hurt.

  24. Re:Reminds me of the 0-day sites... on Only a 'Moron' Would Buy YouTube · · Score: 1

    Too right. I can understand misspelling words like "night", "colour", "through", "cheque" or "catalogue", but being so lazy as to add extra letters to a word is just bizarre.

  25. Re:Other OB on Giant Insect Invades Germany · · Score: 4, Funny

    You wouldn't believe how many of those things are still filling up warehouses out in the country. Now that nobody wants them for official use any more they're practically free and poor people have been making up new words to use as many of them as they can.
