  1. the recording. on Preserving the Sound of America · · Score: 4, Funny

    'The Library of Congress has been collecting recordings for almost 100 years, the first being a recording of a speech by German Emperor Wilhelm II.'

    The speech apparently went as follows:
    Emperor: My dog has no nose.
    Crowd: 'How does it smell'?
    Emperor: Awful.

  2. Denis says... on Environmental Impact of the Ubiquitous Microchip · · Score: 2, Funny

    'Pollution is inherent in the system!'
    'Pollution is inherent in the system!'

    'Help! Help! I'm being contaminated!'

    'You saw him contaminating me, didn't you?'

  3. This makes more sense to me. on Linked: The New Science of Networks · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    'Give me a four digit number,' he said.

    '0011,' came the wide-eyed boy's reply . . .

    'The square of it is 1001,' he continued. 'Sorry, I am getting old and I cannot tell you the cube.'"

  4. of course on AT&T Identifies Widespread Security Hole - In Locks · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Every programmer puts backdoors in his code so he can wreak havoc when he's laid off.
    Why should the lock business be any different?

    In other news, guard dog sales are up...

  5. Like my life! on Guildhall at SMU Q&A · · Score: 3, Funny

    "David Najjab - Aside from classroom assignments and projects, which will run throughout the entire program, our students will have weekly or biweekly LAN parties. "

    This sounds like an average week for any students of computing/programming to me.

  6. oooh, let's network them. on Michelin to Include RFID Transmitter in Every Tire · · Score: 4, Funny

    If Firestone does it, they'll be sure to include this code:

    Tire leftFrontTire = new Tire(props); ...
    if(leftFrontTire.pressure > randomVar) {
    leftFrontTire.implode();
    }

  7. well on Why (FM, Not XM) Radio Sucks · · Score: 1

    I'll stick with my free, mediocre music. Thank you.

    Or better yet, my discman...

  8. Great idea on Spammers Busted · · Score: 2, Funny

    What we need is a Fox TV show about this!

    'Spam-Busters', naturally with a theme copying Ghostbusters.

    I for one know I'd spend at least 3 hours a day watching people sift through IP addresses and make phone calls!

  9. Who needs classes? on Upgrading Training and Certification? · · Score: 1

    If you can not find classes to teach the skills companies want, then teach yourself!

    There are many useful books out there on every computing subject, and all you need is the self-discipline to assign yourself learning projects. While you may not have a 'certificate', you will be able to confidently add it to your resume, and walk the talk.

  10. okay on Ask Jeeves Gives Up On Banner Ads · · Score: 4, Insightful

    So now instead of annoying consumers, let's just restrict what we show them. Is that the jist of it?

  11. nah on In-Depth Look At Matrix Previews · · Score: 1

    Me? I'm waiting for the official poop, none of this half-rate feces will do.

  12. Re:hey on Acacia Steps Up Content-Transfer Patent Claims · · Score: 1

    I know, what a dissapointment. I spent five minutes on that one.

  13. hey on Acacia Steps Up Content-Transfer Patent Claims · · Score: 2

    I thought the porn industry had already united under the Organization for Regulating Growth and Youth protection.

  14. of course on NASA Consider "Demanning" Space Station · · Score: 3, Funny

    I knew this would happen. It's always a bad idea to be rushin' space modules. They're complicated.

  15. also known as on Old Age Simulator · · Score: 4, Funny

    The new virtual funland: Geriatric Park!

  16. mmm on Dark Fiber: A Case In Point · · Score: 3, Funny

    Untapped fiber resources? What a find! Colon blow for everyone!

  17. A double pointer? on That Link Is Illegal · · Score: 5, Insightful

    What if a website had a link to a anonymous website of links that has a link to a terrorist website? Wouldn't be fair to be guilty by association.

  18. or on 802.11b Cards for Handhelds? · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    Get a pad of paper.

    They have a very stable architecture, and you can read/write incredibly fast, as well as delete!

  19. hmm on Building a Digicam from Scanner Elements · · Score: 3, Funny

    I tried something like this once, but instead of a scanner, I used a toaster.

    Well, I had to add some parts, but I can say for sure that the pics I took were hot.

  20. Re:Corporations are not People on Nike Denied First Amendment Defense · · Score: 1

    Yea, like 'corporate welfare'.

    What is this, the 80's?

  21. Be careful on The Creamy Center of the Atom · · Score: 5, Funny

    This is a warning to all you would be chemists!

    Some atoms may have razorblades or poison inside, so if your element isn't wrapped, have your parent check it out.

    Safety first!

  22. all right! on Nature's Building Blocks · · Score: 1

    I've been wanting to read up on Turbonium!

  23. hey now on Nebula Award Winners · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    What about CowboyNeal for best fantasy personality?

  24. well on When IT and Bad Government Meet, Everyone Loses · · Score: 3, Funny

    'I wonder if these bozos run their schools and roads departments with the same level of professionalism.'

    I think we could expect good things from their clown colleges.

  25. hmm on Vint Cerf: 'The Internet Is For Everyone' · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Apparently he's forgotten that if you don't have a _computer_ you can't claim your pie of the internet.

    Of course, we all do, so let's ignore the problem.
    Tea anyone?
