  1. Re:This brings the question... on Bacteria More Virulent in Microgravity · · Score: 1

    This is why I've invested in the manufacturer of the Barf-A-Whirl carnival ride and the outstanding 3600 rpm Ferris Wheel.

  2. Re:Emulators all around... on Commodore 64 Emulator For Your Palm Pilot · · Score: 1

    I wonder if anyone has yet developed an emulator for Narcissistic Personality Disorder? I imagine the emulator would go around failing to understand humor of exaggeration used in a post and pompously calling people a 'dumbass'. In such a case, apathy would be out of the question. Long ago, after I finished my freshman CS project, CyberBard3000, it said, and I quote: "Whether to whine or not to whine, that is the question. I think I'll just have another beer instead. Better than being an anal-retentive jerk." I tend to agree with CB3K.

    No, G and H are obsolete. Now we're up to T, U, and V. But the Apple iBrain direct brain stimulator is what everybody uses now. The only thing is, those wires running up your nose are such a pain, they always fall out while you're dancing.

    Don't worry. It's carbon-tube-based nanologic. Not only does it compute, it filters the air, too. My big problem is the green LEDs in my nose. When they light up, it looks like pulsing boogers. Life here in 2053 isn't always a picnic, yanno.

  5. Re:Emulators all around... on Commodore 64 Emulator For Your Palm Pilot · · Score: 1

    I'm sorry, I'm too distracted watching Jerry Springer to understand irony. Also, an overabundance of glutamic acid has reduced my ability to reason logically. (Free glutamic acid has been shown to cause brain lesions, particularly acute neuronal necrosis in several regions of the developing brain of neonatal mice.) But hey, we all have to die sometime. Not that this has anything to do with emulators, except the one running my personality.

  6. Re:Emulators all around... on Commodore 64 Emulator For Your Palm Pilot · · Score: 1

    In the future, we also have people with no sense of humor. But most of them have been replaced by proctologistdroids.

  7. Re:Emulators all around... on Commodore 64 Emulator For Your Palm Pilot · · Score: 5, Funny

    Remember decades ago, back around 2004, when they only had Pentium 4s? Well, now that we have portable Beowolf clusters providing 5 gigateraflops running in our communicator implants, we can look back and laugh. Heck, now I have so much computing power embedded in my sinuses I can go back in time and post on Slashdot in 2003, before it was bought by AOL.

  8. Re:There isn't enough classic poetry out there? on Kurzweil Gets A Patent For Poetic Software · · Score: 3, Funny

    (In Brooklyn accent) I gotcher classics right here: Here I sit, all broken-hearted. Tried to SCO, but only farted.

  9. Re:What's so funny? on Laptop Thief Caught via AOL Login · · Score: 1

    These two MAC addresses walk into a bar.....

  10. Re:Scientists? on Piece of the Moon for Sale · · Score: 1

    Hey! That's MR. Liberal Scum to YOU, buddy! Besides, Nixon was the political equivalent of a password stealing trojan. What good name?

  11. Re:So combine.... on Synthesized Singers · · Score: 2, Funny

    This completely explains the album "Cowboy Neal Does Sinatra".

  12. Re:so cool on iPod-Jacked · · Score: 5, Funny

    I load my iPod with the entire collected works of Britney Spears. Then I walk up to strangers and motion to them to plug in. After they collapse, writhing in agony on the sidewalk, I steal their wallets.

  13. Re:Such choices... on The Ultimate Desk... Sort Of · · Score: 3, Funny

    I want it but I'll need Robin's help to lift it into the Batmobile to drive it home.

  14. Re:Lol Vice City radio on Captured! By Robots - A Musical/Mechanical Marvel? · · Score: 1

    I saw Al Gore once. Does that count?

  15. Ah, but it was titled... on The Worst Jobs in Science · · Score: 1

    I remember that story, but I believe it was titled, "CEO of SCO boasts of his leisure activities"

  16. Just a prelude to the butt-phone on Handy Wristwatch Phone · · Score: 1

    You think this is bad? Just wait til the Nakamichi Buttphone emerges onto the market. Wait. ..Unfortunate choice of words there...

  17. Re:blow... on Cockroaches Daubed With Yeast As WMD Sensors? · · Score: 1

    Look on the bright side. If you get a bread machine for Christmas, you're already halfway to enjoyable baking.

  18. Re:Simple answer. on Mystery Spot on Jupiter Baffles Astronomers · · Score: 1

    No, it's perfectly obvious what the black spot is. It's redirected spam which because of the sheer mass has condensed into a black hole

  19. It's not just the authorities to worry about on Reading, Writing, RFID · · Score: 1

    Obviously, eventually RFIDs will be hacked for the purpose of illegal surveillance by private parties. Think your wife is cheating? Stick a chip in her purse. Hire a PI with electronics. Think your hubby is working late, or out with that floozy? Tag his shoes and hire some surveillance. Every bad TV show nightmare will come true.

  20. Transients on HV lines on Real Life EMF Experiences? · · Score: 1

    There are transients (spikes) on high voltage lines all the time. At a high enough potential, the lines can accelerate particles electrostatically and magnetically. This gives rise to random bursts of sprays of ions. I would not care to breath around that. Who knows what it does to living tissue?

  21. Re:Czech out? on The Best Frying Pan Ever · · Score: 1

    I was just Rushin' to Czech this out but I china went too fast and missed the pun.

  22. Re:Think Geek to the Rescue! on When Word Processors Are Out: What's The Best Pen? · · Score: 4, Funny

    I use a cheap fountain pen and human blood. (v v)

  23. Re:more Nobel than Ig on Ig Nobel Awards 2003 · · Score: 1

    Amazingly, not one of those taxidrivers is an avian necrophile. Those Brits sure know quality taxi service.

  24. Re:Who funds these guys? on Scientists Discover Why the Cookie Crumbles · · Score: 3, Funny

    I've applied for a DARPA grant to investigate cookies as weapons of mass destruction. My uncle, the general, assures me I'll get at least $5 million from the administration. Subsequent proposals will cover the use of peanut butter breath as a biowarfare agent

  25. Re:Absorb liquid or water? on Hydrophilic Powder Used To Save Library Books · · Score: 1

    Not if those pages have bare-breasted native women on them.
