  2. How to start *the* flamewar in Suomi... on Crack a Password, Save Norwegian History · · Score: 1

    But Linus Torvalds (look at that surname) is a Finnish Swede (or however you call that 6%).

  3. Re:As a Swede, all I can say is... on Crack a Password, Save Norwegian History · · Score: 5, Funny

    But, when it comes down to it, what could they possibly hope to learn by recovering this archive of Norwegian history? How Norwegian troops threw grenades at the Swedes, and, consequentially, how the Swedes pulled out the pins and threw them back?

  4. Scientologists invade the Army on DARPA Project Babylon: Universal Translator · · Score: 1

    What do we have?
    MOP

    • Computational cost via N-gram analysis

    First they took over the Cult Awareness Network, then they started selling Linux, and now they've taken over the U.S. Army.
    Oh, what hath Xenu wrought?

  5. Think of the civilian applications... on X-45 Makes Debut Flight · · Score: 2, Funny

    We're one step closer to the 'dog and pilot' flight crew:

    A pilot in case of an emergency and a dog to bite the pilot if he touches the controls.

  6. My informants report differently... on E3: Epic, US Army Develop Games as Recruitment Tool · · Score: 1

    They have secret plans in the works.

  7. It's about time... on Codingstyle Interviews PS2 Linux Developers · · Score: 1

    ...that they've ported Linux to my IBM PS/2 56. MCA fun, here I come!

    Are you nuts? $20M in cash is the discount price for admission.

  9. Re:"expose scholars around the world to... on 5000 year-old Cuneiform tablets Go Digital · · Score: 1

    I once heard someone say that archaeology is academic grave-robbing. It's not that uncommon for natives to see no difference between archaeologists and run-of-the-mill grave robbers.

  10. Re:Americans are obsessed with microbes on Workstations 'Dirtier Than Toilets' · · Score: 1

    Note: I'd be surprised if there's a lot of bacteria in Coke. First, I'm sure the water's sterilized, probably distilled, same for the rest of the ingredients. This is a *good thing*, necessary for any product like Coke. (Consider pasteurization.) Second, that's one nasty environment for bacteria to grow in; I know some forms of mold can manage (don't ask), but it takes a lot of time...

    In our school's store room we had a cooler full of melted ice and cokes. One of the cokes apparently leaked, because the water soon had a faint brown tint to it. We were curious, so we let the thing grow. Eventually whispy browns and reds hung from the cokes and small hunter-gatherer tribes roamed the fuzz and cities sprung up INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION!!! fantastical glowing megalopolises spanned the oceans. finally the cities ejected glowing vehicles which zoomed off into the wide, blue yonder. All that was left was the whispy brown fuzz and a miniature Jerry Garcia dancing on a can of Dr. Pepper.

  11. Politicians = Lawyers on Under Attack by PanIP's Patent Lawyers? · · Score: 1

    Of course they're all lawyers.

  12. Missing middle step on Why Doesn't Sci-Fi Hit the Bestseller Lists? · · Score: 1

    I think that we've found the missing middle step to:

    1. Sci-Fi
    2. ???
    3. Profit

  13. Russian biofeedback on Video Games to Help You Relax · · Score: 1

    "Nova" had an episode a couple of Tuesdays ago about a Russian missle-command base. The "Nova" researchers were invited to witness the reëvaluations of several local officers. One of the physicians observing the process spent her interview singing Biofeedback's praises like an '80's health class textbook.

    I'm feeling a mite bit uneasy about the people looking over the finger assigned to the big red button.

  14. But what we really need to know... on Windows on an iMac (says the invoice); Red Hat's Alternative · · Score: 2, Funny

    ...is if my iBong is included.

  15. Re:frogs like wine on The Plague of Frogs · · Score: 1

  18. An American Werewolf in Shanghai on Blade Director to Adapt 'Akira' For Western Audiences · · Score: 1

    I'll never forget when I was in Shanghai and I first saw it--SUBTITLED IN CHINESE!!!
