  1. Re:Orwellian, don't you think? on Passenger Risk Database to be Implemented in U.S. · · Score: 1

    The reason he is on their list of terrorists? My mom's sister in Toronto is married to a guy from Lebanon. So you see, to be ranked a danger, you need only be related to somebody who is related to somebody who is related to an Arab.

    In what facets of astronomy are parsecs the dominant unit of measurement?

  3. Re:Superior? on HP Working With Apple To Add WMA Support To iPod · · Score: 1

    The "WMA superior" troll is not the only thing that stinks here. This is being reported by "Connected Home Mag" which I've never heard of before. It also states that "onlookers were surprised". Surprised where? At the recent Apple conference? We didn't hear it there. At an HP conference? Why hasn't anyone else picked up the story? I think this article is a load of B.S. At least until I see an official announcement from HP or Apple.

    Actually, all these quotes were generated by the Bigville Picayune in SimCity 2000.

  4. .nu in Sweden on Niue WiFi Network Gone, .nu TLD May Follow · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Here in Sweden, .nu is outrageously popular--even with respectable entities. .se isn't squatted to hell and back, so, what gives? Why is .nu so popular here?

    NASA will commission a $1bln bong project from an expert company just to get one that gets nose going up your nose.

    Yeah, but if this was the movies, one of the astronauts would be a MacGuyver Smoker and it would go something like this:

    MacGyver Smoker: "Alright, then get me an avacado, an ice pick, and my snorkel. Trust me bro, I've made bongs with less. Hurry up."

  7. Re:Ever heard of the AVRO Car? on Russians Invade with Flying Saucer · · Score: 1

    The hosers also developed a great interceptor, but it got shitcanned due to...

    The aircraft in question leaves thousands of middle-aged Canadian men huddled in their dens building models of it, all the while grumbling about massive American military-industrial complex which squelched it. When the Canadian troops come pouring over the border, you'll know then that Washington made a grave mistake treating Canada like a banana republic.

  8. The Economic Perspective on Christmas Gifts for Geeks · · Score: 4, Funny
    A girlfriend is an awful lot like free software, the initial purchase price can be as low as $0. However, in practice, the TOC is the determining factor when one decides by which method ones wang is going to be mouthified.
    Consider the following:
    • Clothing
    • Dinners
    • Jewelry
    • Upgrades
      • Breast augmentation
      • Liposuction
    All of these present additional costs. Add to that QoS (It happens to everybody, honey) and downtime (I'm tired...).
    Your ideal solution lies in the purchase of an experienced adult film studio fluffer. Guaranteed on-demand service without the hassle of a non-professional.

    That excludes people who prefer to browse using text, which is what that image recognition filter effectively does. Blind people, low bandwidth folks are automatically eliminated from the community.

  18. The Secret to my Success on Lose Weight The Slow, Boring Way · · Score: 1

    As someone who went from 180lbs to 140lbs in four months, let me tell you my secret:

    Work at a bike shop.

    First off, you will, regardless of how far you live from the shop, have to bike to work. If not, you will be ridiculed, tortured, and, finally, fired.

    Second, in the workshop, you will spend 12 hours straight standing up. The only possible way a mere human can do this is by consuming upwards of three liters of caffeinated beverages over the course of a work day. By simply drinking diet cola, you've got a diet in itself.

    Third, and most importantly, working on bikes garauntees you an eighth of an inch layer of grease on your hands, pants, and shirt--the smell of which will make you the benefactor of a very healthy distain for anything even mildly resembling food. Bo-yah, your calorie intake is restricted to a hurried breakfast before work!
