  1. Re:Crazy talk! on US Supreme Court Upholds Indefinite Confinement · · Score: 1

    If the punishment for rape is the same or more severe than murder then you might as well kill the victim after the rape. For one you don't have a witness to ID you and second, murder doesn't always get you life in prison. As much as I would hate to have one of my loved ones raped, I would prefer them to be alive.

  2. Re:I hope all these motion controllers fail horrib on Sony Unveils PS3 Motion Controller · · Score: 1

    Whoa! Mr. President, we don't use the term "special olympics" anymore.

  3. Terminator Narrator on 2,100-Year-Old Antikythera Device Recreated In Working Form · · Score: 1

    Seems strange that the narrator sounds like the Scottish T-1001 from the Sarah Connor Chronicles. http://www.fox.com/terminator/bios/#bio:catherine

  4. Red Dawn on Google News Has Russian Army Invading Savannah, GA · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Wolverines!!

  5. Confiscate and sell the vehicle on Nissan Turns to Technology to Stop Drunk Driving · · Score: 1

    Treat drunk driving like a drug offense, confiscate the vehicle they are driving and sell it at police auction.

  6. Robin Hood on Thieves Using Stolen Credit Cards to Make Donations · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Steal from the rich and give to the poor.

  7. Re:Whoa... whatever happened to 'it's not stealing on Consumerist Catches Geek Squad Stealing Porn · · Score: 1

    Unless the homemade sex video they steal is from a famous person, then they can sell it to Penthouse or other random porn company. I'm guessing everyone would be downloading it without worrying about invasion of privacy.

  8. Stop trying to sell me stuff. on Google Defuses Googlebombs · · Score: 1

    Now they just need to fix the part where I'm actually trying to find information on a product and all I get back is links to sites that want to sell me the product. I know where I'm going to buy it from...I am looking for information about whether I want to buy it or not.

  9. That sounds familiar on Intel Core 2 Extreme QX6700 Reviews · · Score: 1

    Way to plagiarize, you even left in the word blades at one point.

    At least post the source of your fake wit:

  10. Which is it? on In-Game Advertising Poised for Explosive Growth · · Score: 2
    So which is it 732 million or 2 billion?

  11. Trade for Prescription Drugs on Canada's CD Tax Out of Hand? · · Score: 2, Funny

    That is until their computer industry reveals reports that American blank CDs are not as safe as Canadian ones.

  12. Guinness guys would say on Google.org to Spend an Initial $1.1 Billion · · Score: 2, Funny

    Brilliant!!

  13. They even quench your thirst on Google Ride Finder Announced · · Score: 1
  14. Could be dangerous on New Draganflyer Predator Unmanned Aerial Vehicle · · Score: 5, Insightful

    So what is stopping someone from using this like a real predator and strapping something not so nice to it like a small bomb or gun. Since it can fly autonomously it looks like they just made a cheap over the counter missile platform. Just fly around a building transmitting real time images till your target emerges from the building and....boom!

  15. Re:CS != IT on Switching from Another Industry to Engineering/CS? · · Score: 1

    IT != sysadmin Actually a CS degree (math, theory, and EE) are required for a REAL sysadmin job.

  16. About time on IBM Bails Out of the Hard Drive Market · · Score: 1

    The company I work for has about 10 IBM boxes (P-series) and the failure rate on the disks is one about every 3 months. I was told by one of their FE's that they see about a 1 in 10 failure rate, which from experience is right on. We might start buying more systems from them now that the disk drives might be a little more stable.
