  1. Re:I have a suggestion. on 14-Year-Old Turns Tram System Into Personal Train Set · · Score: 1

    Hahah, nice :)

    Better that than that silly Garfield movie, at least.

  2. I have a suggestion. on 14-Year-Old Turns Tram System Into Personal Train Set · · Score: 1

    Maybe he should play more video games?

  3. Bah. on McDonald's UK CEO Blames Video Games for Childhood Obesity · · Score: 1

    I wish people would get off their soap boxes and realize that video games aren't all bad.

  4. Re:Skype annoys the hell out of me on Sony Announces Skype For PSP, Homebrewers Respond · · Score: 1

    What's wrong with Gaim? Pidgin, as it is now known, works fine for me.

    Of course, I do use mIRC for IRC, so I have low standards ... ;-)

  5. Re:Phishing on Firefox Spoofing Bug Puts Passwords At Risk · · Score: 1

    They're taking advice from nerds. If this doesn't show a lack of common sense, I don't know what does.

    (Sticking a tie in an electric hand mixer - while wearing the tie - runs a close second)

  6. Re:Still no job? on Rails Bigwig Rails on Rails Community · · Score: 3, Funny

    Where can I download this new firewall technology? :)

  7. Re:So what on Rails Bigwig Rails on Rails Community · · Score: 1

    Really? Because in the nerd community, it just means that the poster is still living in his parent's basement.

  8. Re:Nuclear's the future. on Molten Salt-Based Solar Power Plant · · Score: 2, Funny

    With apologies to The Tick ... Fission is a harsh mistress.

  9. Re:Versus Jupiter on Mars Asteroid Impact More Likely Than Before · · Score: 1

    I don't understand. How many volkswagen beetles is that?

  10. Re:Preview of news media coverage on Mars Asteroid Impact More Likely Than Before · · Score: 1

    The far more likely effect would be a sun-obscuring dust cloud that would shut the rovers down.

  11. Re:"domain tasting" on Domains May Disappear After Search · · Score: 5, Funny

    "Don't register me, Bro!"

  12. Re:"domain tasting" on Domains May Disappear After Search · · Score: 1

    You think you have it bad? I misread it as "Domain Tasing".

  13. Grr on Apple Patents 'Buy Stuff Wirelessly, Skip Lines' Tech · · Score: 1

    Zonk, for the love of Pete Townsend, please stop using hyphens in lieu of commas or parentheses! It is - without a doubt - highly annoying!

    (And I realize that the summaries are usually written by the submitters, but this makes two in a row with the same mind-crushing usage)

  14. Re:Dell XPS One on Is the Dell XPS One Better than the Apple iMac? · · Score: 4, Funny

    I'm not 100% sure, but I think he meant "lasts the longest" in terms of flight time when the machine defenestrates at a fixed velocity.

  15. Re:Awesome on Extreme Christmas Lights In Orlando · · Score: 1

    Ah yes, good ol' BlinkenBus.

    "If this bus is a-rockin' ... call the paramedics."

  16. Re:Just another example on Microsoft Agrees to Release Work Group Protocols · · Score: 2, Interesting

    that EU did something the US DOJ couldn't.

    There, fixed it for you. :)

  17. Re:They hit a pilot on Couple Busted For Shining Laser At Helicopter · · Score: 1

    Most green lasers have visible beams.

    Most idiots keep shining it even after they've hit a cop in the eye.

  18. Re:Gave up Cellphone, long live landlines on 2007 Sees Wireless Spending Outstrip Landlines · · Score: 1

    You're one of those delusional TELUS users, aren't you? ;-)

  19. Re:okay windows guys... on Follow-up on EVE's Boot.ini Issue · · Score: 2, Funny

    I would, but I had a power outage that terminated my 4-week uptime. :)

    Worst part of it was, I was baking pecan butter tarts at the time. In an electric oven. They don't make UPSes for that.

  20. Re:Theyy could always ask Paul Revere ... on Will The Next Generation of Spacecraft Land In the Water? · · Score: 1

    Space navigation *does* involve having boosters to prevent orbital decay, though - and guess what the ISS has? Boosters! Go figure.

  21. Re:That was no comet on Ice Age Beasts Blasted from Space · · Score: 4, Funny

    Ah yes, the good old "Occam's Space Laser" theory.

  22. Re:Any Aerodynamics Testing? on Flying Humans · · Score: 1

    I don't think you can hang that much airfoil between your arms and legs.

    Not with today's fabrics. But perhaps ... with some sort of nanotech-inspired hyperlifting fabric design from the future? :)

    Elucidate.

  24. Re:HTML skills are a commodity? on The Future of AJAX and the Rich Web · · Score: 1

    Okay, but what tag(s) do you consider to be the proper ones to use to contain your content? span?

    And what do you use for layout? Clay tablets?
