  1. what? on Chimps Belong in Human Genus? · · Score: 1

    Humans are the only living species in genus homo, currently

    No sir, I ain't no homo. Put me in with the chimps you gay freaks.

  2. Re:Is this paranoid enough? on MailBlocks sues Earthlink over Anti-Spam Tech · · Score: 1

    Hmm, this sounds like a good plot for the next Bond movie.

    (You may be paranoid, but not android.)

  3. well on HTTP: The Definitive Guide · · Score: 5, Funny

    A) What does "deprecated" mean?

    deprecated: adj. In a state of having soiled oneself. Johnny was not efficient enough and failed to reach the restroom, and was thus deprecated.

  4. Lights, Camera,... on DVRs for Cop Cars · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Unbiased, high-quality recording could have a compelling social effect;

    Unfortunatly, I somewhat doubt these will be available to the public w/o editing.

  5. The off by one error that ruled the world on Doubting Electronic Voting · · Score: 1

    Seriously, it'd be so easy to cheat with a system like this. Do people in favor of this know how powerful computers are?

    I don't mind using scanners to count faster, but the day I have to vote online is the day I move to Canada.

  6. Re:Paper trail: the solution on Doubting Electronic Voting · · Score: 1

    You wouldn't want George W. Bush to have been elected by a bug, would you?

    But the Supreme Court is okay?

    Burn!

  7. Re:Does this even improve your experience? on NVidia Accused of Inflating Benchmarks · · Score: 1

    I know man, every time I think I've found the holy grail of gaming, it just turns out to be a beacon!

  8. Come one come all! on Norway to Wire North Pole · · Score: 3, Funny

    *Bob Marley playing in background*

    [Jamaican accent]Come visit the beautiful sunny island of Svalbard and it's coastal villege Longyearbyen. It's always a blast, with fresh fish and internet access![/Jamaican accent]

  9. Re:Some Clarification on Lyric Sites In Trouble With The MPA · · Score: 1

    I apologize if my story misconstrued facts. I saw the story on the front page of BBC.com and assumed it was hot and correct.

  10. ahh on Spam, Milord · · Score: 3, Funny

    It somehow makes me happy that Lord Faulkner of Worcester knows the spam song...

  11. I remember my I first saw it I said on Remembering Skylab · · Score: -1, Troll

    That's no moon, it's a Skylab!

  12. well on The Matrix Online Announced · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Do you really think such a powerful entity as the Matrix could be dissembled in three movies? Right now humans are fighting off extinction. I think this just means there won't be a cheesy 'yay, good guys always win.' ending.

    Personally I am actually interested in this, and I generally can't stand MMOGs.

  13. New Theme on More on Media Consolidation · · Score: 5, Funny

    Anyone else think whenever 'ClearChannel' is mentioned the Imperial March should play in the background?

  14. Re:Missing from the discussion so far: on IRC Networks Unite in Fight Against Fizzer Worm · · Score: 1

    Blame onto Microsoft should be implied in all cases, as any well do to dancing monkeyboy or borg should know.

  15. Re:Why oh why on When Copy Protection Fails · · Score: 1

    Go buy a mac. Apple _is_ fighting for your digital rights.

    lol, I think Apple is profiting off our lack of digital rights.

  16. Re:Would it be possible, on Primordial Soup: Interview with Stanley Miller · · Score: 1

    [fast announcer voice]May cause diarrhea, cramps, abominal pain, head aches, fever, gingivitis, allergies, stillbirth....[/fast announcer voice]

  17. Re:Ah, but does he mention that his amino acids... on Primordial Soup: Interview with Stanley Miller · · Score: 1

    Just like every other fairy tale: exciting, adventurous, believable, and wrong.

    Yea, like that crazy thing about men landing on the moon.

  18. Miller's Aide on Primordial Soup: Interview with Stanley Miller · · Score: 2, Funny

    Miller had an unknown aide during this project. He spent a lot of time working with the fledgling life forms as they formed a society and culture. They became to see him as a God, and worship him.

    One fateful day, they managed to shrink the aide using a debigulator device, so he could lead their civilization. When he demanded they unshrink him, they were indeed astounded by the very notion of a re-bigulator device.

    True story.

  19. Eventually it would be bypassed. on Are People Using TMDA to Kill Spam? · · Score: 1

    I think the strategy may work well for a bit, but I can write code to mimic/steal a bona fide email address easily and put it in the header, so I don't think it will help in the long run.

    I have my own ideas on how to stop spam, but I'm thinking I'll save them for my thesis ;-)

  20. Re:hmmm... on Canadian Census: 20,000 Jedi Worshippers · · Score: 1

    The complete seperation of church and state is one of the keys to real freedom, regardless of what you worship friend.

  21. Re:I think this is part of the Matrix on The Gospel According to Neo · · Score: 1

    Remember, those who have been in the system too long are dependent upon it.

    I believe you can teach human decency and ethics without claiming it's mandated by a higher power, and necessary for an afterlife.

    The problem is, because currently we scare morals into people instead of using love and understanding, when that threat is lifted, anarchy will likely ensue.

  22. Re:Maybe you're right. on The Gospel According to Neo · · Score: 1

    Even if he's not a farce, it's important to have heros.

    What's key is that Neo believes in himself, so with the power of his mind he can control his thoughts and actions through the matrix.

    Being the 'One' isn't something that's ordained by God. It just means that the others recognize Neo's ability, and they fight cohesively if they can believe in a strong leader.

  23. Re:Better off at a yard sale. on Mighty Amazon · · Score: 1

    What I mean is, If you want to sell a book for 5 bucks, you may get 2 bucks for it, with Amazon keeping the rest.

    I admit if you live in the williwacks and don't want to drive to a better place, then you might as well take your chances.

  24. Not worth it to change actors on The Hiring, Firing and Re-Hiring of Spider-Man · · Score: 1, Interesting

    I don't think spiderman would survive if they changed actors, regardless of who could do it better.

    Why is it more like Batman than Bond? Because Spiderman is a hero, and Bond is a secret agent.

    But then we'll never know...

  25. Better off at a yard sale. on Mighty Amazon · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Or a used books store.

    Amazon takes a considerable amount of profit from you this way.
