  1. English - English on Steve Wozniak Predicts Death of the IPod · · Score: 1

    I suspect you would call that a plaster.

    I'm a septic, so I might be wrong.

  2. Oddly enough... on Senate Votes To Empower Parents As Censors · · Score: 1

    That sounds like great ad copy for Tivo!

  3. No, he bloody well didn't. on China Announces Launch-Success Details — Before Launch · · Score: 1

    Yes, and he screwed it up.

    I thought they demonstrated that radio transmissions stomped on his "a" before "man."
    Or did they fake that too?

  4. Agreed! on Graduate Student Defends Right To Own Chicago2016.com · · Score: 2, Funny

    What a total Kroc!

  5. Potato - Pot-ah-to on Graduate Student Defends Right To Own Chicago2016.com · · Score: 1

    I thought the Scottish were just Irish that went looking for crappier weather?

  6. Citation! on BBC Profiles Extradited Cracker Gary McKinnon · · Score: 1

    Blackadder: Baldrick, have you no idea what irony is?

    Baldrick: Yes, it's like goldy and bronzy only it's made out of iron.

  9. Max OS X 0.4.3? on Iran Announces Manned Space Mission Plans · · Score: 1

    X os 0-for-3?

    I had to read that several times.
    The first few times I was convinced it was some weird Mac OS version I was previously unaware of.

  10. Beware of the Leopard! on Photographers Face Ejection Over Lenses · · Score: 1

    My understanding, albeit a little hazy, is that building plans must be filed with local governmental offices

  11. Arse on Verizon Denies DSL Because of Subscriber's Name · · Score: 1

    Arsene Wenger was unavailable for comment.
    Perhaps he couldn't get an email address.

  12. Fine by me Russ! on DHS Allowed To Take Laptops Indefinitely · · Score: 1

    While I was less than overwhelmed by the performance of the TSA officials the two times I passed through the Burlington Vermont airport, I have to say that I would want you stopped at every airport in the world, were you carrying a keyboard that a) looked like a homemade bomb and b) opted for a name that sounds like a munitions component.

  13. Sue Sue Sue Ya! on Police Director Sues AOL For Critical Blogger's Name · · Score: 1
    They learned it from the English, surely. Phil Collins had that song years ago.

    But that's not the American way, sue sue sue is how its done these days

  14. Beauty rest? on Oyster Card Hack To Be Released, In Good Time · · Score: 1

    Horseshit.

    it does cost 90p(about US$90).

    I hate it when I oversleep and the entire US economy collapses...

    So do we! We were counting on you to hold the malaise at bay, but, no... you had to get your beauty rest instead...

    Obviously, you've not seen me first thing in the morning. Beauty rest?! It's more like ugly sleep!

  15. There goes the dollar... on Oyster Card Hack To Be Released, In Good Time · · Score: 4, Funny

    Horseshit.

    it does cost 90p(about US$90).

    I hate it when I oversleep and the entire US economy collapses...

  16. (Copy) Editors! It's a joke! Read your own typos! on In Japan, a 900 Gigabyte Upload Cap, Downloads Uncapped · · Score: 1

    Good grief, this comment is worth a chuckle. Mind you, it wouldn't be there to be made if there was some better copy editing on the site.

  17. As many contacts as SERIAL ports? on USB 3.0's New Jacks and Sockets · · Score: 1

    You what?

    I'm the S in USB.

    Hint, it isn't sarcasm...

  18. Tortoise? on Airport Profilers Learn to Read Facial Expressions · · Score: 1

    What's that?

  19. Your point? on China In the Habit of Copying and Redirecting US Sites? · · Score: 1

    The llama is a quadruped which lives in big rivers like the Amazon.
    It has two ears, a heart, a forehead, and a beak for eating honey.
    But it is provided with fins for swimming.
    GUITARIST and DANCER:

    Llamas are larger than frogs.
    JOHN:

    Asi si usted ve uno donde pueblo es nodando usted grita Cuidado Llamas.

    Llamas are dangerous,
    so if you see one where people are swimming,
    you shout:

    Cuidado cuidado cuidado Llamas

    He once arrived at school with a note from his father Elwy Yost explaining that "Graham is late for school because I had him stay up late to watch Citizen Kane"

    Sounds like he was brought up well to me.

  23. Braveheart on AMC on Windows Media Center Restricts Cable TV · · Score: 1

    To The Submitter
    You are trying to watch/record Braveheart...on AMC? Are you kidding me?

    AMC?
    The channel that runs trailers and teasers for movies in letterbox and then runs the actual movies in edited-for-just-about-everything Pan and Scan with commercials?

    You are a danger to yourself. Someone should take your remote away.

    Things To Come...

  25. Paging Mr. Anyone on US University Dumps Windows to go All Mac · · Score: 2, Insightful

    But anyone can tell you that the Altivec, with its lack of double precision floating point support, is not well suited to scientific applications.

    Anyone except NASA in 2000.
