  1. especially if you smoke it on New Type of Fatigue Discovered in Silicon · · Score: 2, Funny

    However, NIST examination of the silicon used in microscopic systems that incorporate tiny gears, vibrating reeds and other mechanical features reveals stress-induced cracks that can lead to failure.

    I can agree with this. In my personal experience, crack inevitably leads to failure.

  2. what's in a name? on First Details of Manned Mars Mission From NASA · · Score: 1

    The main vehicle would be assembled on orbit over three or four launches of the planned Ares V heavy lift rocket.

    One would think a craft of that form factor, named after Ares, would be referred to as a "missile"

  3. one more brick in the wall on HP Skin Patch May Replace Needles · · Score: 2, Funny

    The skin patch technology also enables delivery of several drugs by one patch and the control of dosage and of administration time for each drug.

    Excellent. So when does Soma come out?

  4. government logic on FCC Delays Vote On Cable TV Regulation · · Score: 1

    a report that would open the door to more agency control over the cable television industry.

    Clearly, more control is needed, to protect the children. 9/11

  5. double entendre on Google Gives Up IP of Anonymous Blogger · · Score: 5, Funny

    Google Gives Up IP of Anonymous Blogger

    Sounds like that guy could use a good IP attorney.

  6. don't lose your head over it on Stay Lifted, Novell Vs. SCO Can Go Forward · · Score: 4, Funny

    a bankruptcy judge has granted Novell's request to lift the stay

    Yes, he's lifting the stay, much like one would lift the active portion of a guillotine.

  7. Re:like how they do in prison on Judge Backs Amazon, Raps Feds Over Book Records · · Score: -1, Troll

    You take pleasure watching men ass rape other men??? Pics or it didn't happen!

    I don't know if I'd use the word "pleasure", and believe me, you don't want pics.

  8. like how they do in prison on Judge Backs Amazon, Raps Feds Over Book Records · · Score: 4, Funny

    Judge Backs Amazon, Raps Feds

    When I read that, I added an extra "e" in there, but I guess that's just wishful thinking.

  9. obvious on Rare Soviet Retro-Future Space Art · · Score: 1, Funny

    A collection of the most inspiring and hard-to-find retro-futuristic graphics from rather unlikely sources: Soviet & Eastern Bloc 'popular tech & science' magazines

    In Soviet Russia, future finds you!

  10. obvious on RIAA Must Divulge Expenses-Per-Download · · Score: 3, Funny

    The Court has ordered UMG Recordings, Warner Bros. Records, Interscope Records, Motown, and SONY BMG to disclose their expenses-per-download

    downl0wned!

  11. it will lie to you about cake on A Review of the $200 Wal-Mart Linux PC · · Score: 5, Funny

    the pre-installed gOS flavor of Ubuntu has a lot of rough edges.

    If you think gOS is bad, you should see gladOS.

  12. Re:Inevitable on Feds Have Access To Cellphone Tracking On Request · · Score: 2, Interesting

    If humanities had the same weight as science, perhaps no.

    Humanities doesn't have the same weight as science because they haven't found a way to kill people with it yet. Yet.

  13. so they can protect you on Feds Have Access To Cellphone Tracking On Request · · Score: 0, Troll

    The data is used to pinpoint the whereabouts of 'criminal suspects', according to judges and industry lawyers. In some cases, judges have granted the requests without even requiring the government to demonstrate probable cause that a crime is taking place or that the inquiry will yield evidence of a crime

    And if we put everyone in jail, then there would be no criminals on the street. Problem solved!

  14. News for you on Earth's Moon is a Rarity · · Score: 4, Funny

    And with us "our" moon?

    That's no moon. and you're on Alderaan. buckle up.

  15. with great power comes great responsibility on Google Crowdsources Map Editing · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Registered Google users in the US, Australia, and New Zealand can move incorrect markers for their homes or businesses to the correct locations.

    That's great, but what about moving correct markers to an incorrect location? Or the location of a competitor to the address of the local hog farm?

  16. solution on First Use of RIPA to Demand Encryption Keys · · Score: 4, Informative

    The Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act (RIPA) is being used for the first time to force an animal activist to reveal encryption keys for encrypted files she claims to have no knowledge of.

    That's why you use an encrypted file system with a duress key. In the event of coercion, you give them a key that *oops* results in the destruction of the data.

  17. bleh on The Nuclear Power Renaissance · · Score: 1, Insightful

    We can only hope that environmental concerns will not again, stifle our progress.

    Environmental concerns as an "impediment" to changes in our oil-based economy is a red herring.

    We don't use nuclear because it would put the oil barons out of business, not because it's dirty or unsafe. Most of France's power comes from nuclear, and they don't have any problems with it.

  18. the executor on Solid State Drives - Fast, Rugged, and Expensive · · Score: 5, Funny

    Does anyone have any first-hand, practical experience with SSD?

    I know Darth Vader had his own SSD, but that's probably not what you're talking about.

  19. apologies to Mr. Manilow on Mozilla Reponds - We Call the Shots, Not Google. · · Score: 3, Funny

    Mozilla still calls the shots over Firefox's development.

    Not only that, they write the songs that make the whole world sing.

  20. look, that's what I like, ok? on South Korea to Build Robot Theme Parks · · Score: 4, Funny

    The parks will feature a number of attractions that let visitors interact with robots and test new products.

    Either "new products" means "interactive tentacle hentai", or I'm not interested.

  21. it's funny because it's true on The Rules of the Swarm · · Score: 4, Funny

    Researchers are starting to discover the simple rules that allow swarms of thousands of relatively simple animals to form a collective brain able to make decisions and move like a single organism.

    Strangely enough, it also explains republican voting habits.

  22. Just like a real sandbox game on AR Facade Moves Beyond the Lab · · Score: 1

    While some players attempt to pacify the characters, others break the ice with comic relief, performing for friends who can observe the unfolding drama from outside the exhibit.

    So how many players just start stabbing everyone in the face?

  23. it's got an LED on it, too on Monitor Draws Zero Power In Standby · · Score: 3, Interesting

    A new range of Fujitsu Siemens monitors don't draw power during standby.

    The monitor might not, but what about the power brick? those things consume power even if no monitor is attached.

  24. spam spam spam spam and more spam on The World's Biggest Botnets · · Score: 4, Funny

    This article provides a peek at the 'new Storm' and reveals the three biggest botnets in the world (including Storm) -- and what makes them tick and what they are after.

    From the look of things, it appears that their sole purpose is to send me myspace friend requests from lonely, hot girls that have Tom as their only friend, and have selected me as the lucky person who gets to share in viewing their private, personal website, which has many photos of their naked breasts and vagina. Seriously.

  25. hmm on Evidence of Historical Zombie Attack at Hierakonpolis · · Score: 5, Funny

    I don't know why everyone hates on zombies. I mean, zombies were people too.
