  1. Re:Get your affairs in order, people on Large Hadron Collider Goes Live September 10th · · Score: 4, Funny

    Easier to ask forgiveness that permission. Especially easy if there's no one left to ask forgiveness of.

  2. Re:7th guest, 11th hour on Have Modern Gamers Lost the Patience For Puzzles? · · Score: 1

    My all time favorite puzzle adventure game has to be Bad Mojo. The interface was simple and the storyline, videos, and puzzles all seamlessly merged into a coherent whole. Best time I've had as a cockroach.

  3. Re:liberties taken with irish legends... on Movie Review, Hellboy II · · Score: 1

    We're sorry. Please don't hit us with your shillelagh.

  4. Re:Cool! on Superconducting Power Grid Launches In New York · · Score: 1

    See you in next year's Darwin Awards.

  5. Re:The Hen or The Egg on Nancy Pelosi vs. the Internet · · Score: 1

    The real trick of it is to not lie to the crowd by framing your statements so they lack any substance that's falsifiable. Just leave 'em with a warm feeling fuzzy feeling while saying nothing. They'll fill in the vacuum of information with their own opinions which, of course, they'll agree with.

  6. Re:Retirement Gift on Gates' Last Day At Microsoft · · Score: 2, Insightful

    And cheap commodity hardware. Ushering in the age of the desktop assured that.

  7. Re:Tag on Chrysler To Offer Wireless Internet In 2009 Models · · Score: 4, Funny

    Because that was the number one problem plaguing the good people of New Orleans?

  8. Re:Another possible use... on Fastest-Ever Flashgun Captures Image of Light Wave · · Score: 1

    Simply not enough African political humor here on Slashdot. Could be wittier, though.

  9. Re:It's like divorce on $50 to Get XP On a New Dell · · Score: 1

    Ah, for my salad days when she only became completely unresponsive to me. Such good times.

  10. Re:OLPC on Why OLPC Struggles Against Educators, Big Business · · Score: 1

    I wonder if the problem is more that the educators themselves are unable to use the laptops. I've seen kids play around with new technology and it's astounding how quickly they pick it up.

    Middle-aged teachers working in the public schools are another matter altogether.

  11. Re:Hail to the robots on Douglas Hofstadter Looks At the Future · · Score: 1

    Quitter. You robotic replacement will see cliches to their predictable end.

  12. Re:Contradiction or equivocation? on New Method for Rendering Particles Outlined · · Score: 2, Funny

    Haven't you heard? "Old" is the new "new".

  13. Re:Please explain us ... on Barack Obama Wins Democratic Nomination · · Score: 1

    We don't know either. Our media is too busy spouting off the buzzwords to stop and explain what they actually mean.

  14. Re:...but Hillary still won't leave. on Barack Obama Wins Democratic Nomination · · Score: 1

    So the goal is to sink her own party so she can have another crack at her own personal aspirations?

  15. Unsupported Statement of the Day on SoCal Selene Group Drops Google Lunar X Prize Bid · · Score: 2

    Assuredly, there are more to come. Why is this assured?
  16. Re:Nothing to see here on Microsoft Acknowledges NBC's Wish is Its Command · · Score: 1

    In the sense that they're both TLA acronyms, yes.

  17. Re:WHAT HAS SCIENCE DONE? on First Genetically Modified Human Embryo Under Review · · Score: 3, Funny

    You think it's easy being green?

  18. Re:Musicians seem to have crappy luck on Peter Gabriel's Web Server Stolen · · Score: 4, Funny

    Especially bad was the fact that many of their instruments were prepared in some way to get special tones. It's called "tuning".
  19. Re:5 billion years ago ? on How Water Forms in Interstellar Space at 10K · · Score: 1

    Similarly, I highly doubt my car keys exist because I've patted down my coat and both pockets have tested negative.

  20. Re:These days? on Whitehouse Emails Were Lost Due to "Upgrade" · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Though malice and incompetence are not mutually exclusive.

  21. Re:Cloning Tissue or Whole Animal? on PETA Offers X-Prize for Artificial Meat · · Score: 1

    Maybe. Will they clone up some fava beans to go with it?

  22. Re:Biter bitten on Imperial Storm Troopers Skirmish in Latest IP Battle · · Score: 1

    Lord knows you'd never see any misuse of tort law in the UK.

  23. Re:god damn it on Daily Caffeine Protects Your Brain · · Score: 1

    Just make up your fucking minds already, every other week coffee is bad, then good, then bad again.


    like it's going to stop anyone drinking it anyway...

    Like that one study that claims coffee can make you impatient and irritable.
  24. Re:life on/around gas giants on Cassini Finds Evidence For Ocean Inside Titan · · Score: 2, Informative

    I believe that a gas giant's intense gravitational field can heat the cores of nearby moons.

  25. It's simple, really. on NASA Running Out of Plutonium · · Score: 4, Funny

    1. Find a group of Libyan nationalists that want you to build a bomb.
    2. Take their plutonium.
    3. Give them a shiny bomb-casing full of used pinball machine parts.

    Just make sure you keep the DeLorean's engine running for step 3.
