  1. Re:yeah on Prince, Village People to Sue The Pirate Bay · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Young man! Don't you download today,
    I said young man! Stay out of Pirate Bay,
    There's no need, to, copy, ancient 70's music,
    *doo doo doo*
    But it's fun to go to the Piraaate Bay!

  2. Re:Oh the Humanity! on 'Porn King' Says Google Should Block Porn Access · · Score: 1

    If they are going to block access to porn then they had better streamline access to it for us pervs who choose to see it.

  3. Porn King? on 'Porn King' Says Google Should Block Porn Access · · Score: 1

    Is there a Porn Queen, and Porn Prince/Princess? Think of the coronation ceremony.

  4. We'll Never See Them On The Market on Cell Phone Use Study Sees Increased Cancer Risk · · Score: 1

    So I guess this will kill Motorola's plans to come out with their line of gamma ray cellphones.

  5. Re:I wonder... on Cell Phone Use Study Sees Increased Cancer Risk · · Score: 1

    If I'm sitting next to someone and they aren't paying attention to the road I will see that and say "Hey, watch the road". If I'm on the other end of the phone I'll just hear a loud CRUNCH.

  6. Re:Wow on House Declines To Vote On Telecom Immunity · · Score: 1

    No one reported that when they marched out they all headed straight to their telecom lobbyist's office and proceeded to beg them not stop taking them on free trips, expensive dinners, "campaign contributions", etc.

  7. Re:How about a study on Computer Models Find Patterns In Asymmetric Threats · · Score: 1

    Unfortunately this computer model is unable to help the researchers find a way to keep our nose out of other people's countries in the first place. The Department of Defense stopped being about defense a while ago.

    I think every president gets to take the military out for a "drive" during their administration, right? It is one of the benefits, like expensive boardmember jobs and speaking fees afterwards.

  8. Re:Agreed on EU Commissioner Proposes 95 year Copyright · · Score: 1

    Should the Beatles and Rolling Stones automatically get a fee off of every electronic player and blank disc sold whether it is used to copy their music or not? Let the Beatles and Stones first pay back all of the blues musicians (or their decendants) they "borrowed from" when they were getting started.

  9. Re:Sweet! on EU Commissioner Proposes 95 year Copyright · · Score: 2, Funny

    You are so cynical! Don't you know that this is being done for the sake of all of the struggling individual artists and writers out there? Politicians deeply care about them. It is NOT being done for bloated corporations like Disney who themselves originally profited from the public domain. They are not constantly seeking perpetual extensions of copyright protections just to protect their cash cows.

    It also being done for Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny.

  10. Re:Sweet! on EU Commissioner Proposes 95 year Copyright · · Score: 3, Funny

    Shouldn't the Egyptian government be paying royalties on pyramid tourist fees to the estate of Khufu?

  11. Re:Invade! on Titan's Organics Surpass Oil Reserves on Earth · · Score: 1

    You'd think that if we had the capability to mine a frozen moon halfway across the solar system that we would've outgrown the need for oil as a fuel source in the first place.

  12. Re:Wrong target on Titan's Organics Surpass Oil Reserves on Earth · · Score: 1

    Jupiter? Bah, a drop in the bucket compared to the sun. It is time we mined the sun.

  13. Re:Flight Sims on Whatever Happened To The Joystick? · · Score: 1

    It is easy to spot the guy trying to fly with a mouse in BF1942. He is the burning wreck on the ground.

  14. Re:Take a big wiff on Outer Space has a Smell · · Score: 1

    Just as long as that is the only oriface that gets vacuumed out.

  15. Re:Like thousands of other /.ers... on 6% of Web Users Generate 50% of Ad Clicks · · Score: 1

    At least she isn't tied up in the basement like his last girlfriend.

  16. Re:The remaining 50% on 6% of Web Users Generate 50% of Ad Clicks · · Score: 2, Funny

    You just explained what the other 94% of web users are doing.

    You damn kids! Get off of my virtual lawn!

  20. Re:Do newspapers create pedophiles? on Internet "Creates Pedophiles" According to "Expert" · · Score: 1

    Actually I think the Disney channel creates them.

  21. Re:Canovas is an idiot on Internet "Creates Pedophiles" According to "Expert" · · Score: 1

    So once I spend money on a woman she'll just see me as a walking wallet? Wait a minute...

  22. Re:Some ideas on Name the New Gamma-Ray Space Telescope · · Score: 1
    I'd go with "Gammy"


    Gammy! Gammy!

  23. Re:[H] raises more questions than it answers on Benchmarking the Benchmarks · · Score: 1

    Reminds me of how the EPA is changing how fuel efficiancy is determined for cars. The old standard was not realistic compared to how most people actually drive. Now they are putting a lot more stop & go driving in their testing and getting lower, but more realistic, numbers.

  24. Re:Arcades can evolve on Namco Blames Wii for Arcade Closures · · Score: 1

    In that case it would star Corey Feldman.

  25. Re:Copyright on U.S. Confiscating Data at the Border · · Score: 1

    How would this be entrapment? You didn't encourage them to do anything. Entrapment requires persuasion. It would be a different matter if you said "Come on, copy it, go ahead. I won't say anything."
