  1. Re:Strangely the brits on Newly Discovered Fungus Threatens World Wheat Crop · · Score: 1

    We 'cant feed' Africa. Suddenly its serious when the west might be facing a food shortage. Whats the loss here if mother nature kills us all.

  2. Strangely the brits on Newly Discovered Fungus Threatens World Wheat Crop · · Score: 1, Interesting

    are moaning about wheat production and asia sucking up production capacity at the moment as well. How ironic would it be after all the billions spent on security if we suffer catastrophic population denudation due to the simple fact we can't feed ourselves. Go mother nature, lets have some balance restored.

  3. Great so instead of dying from liver sclerosis on Zebrafish Regenerative Ability May Lead To Help In Humans · · Score: 1

    after all my drinking sessions I now get a healthy liver and then get eaten by a lion.

  4. Re:Hackaday on Wikileaks Releases Early Atomic Bomb Diagram · · Score: 5, Funny

    It's the psychological, panic-inducing effects the US Government are really for.


    There, fixed that for ya.
  5. Pasteurised sperm on Japan's Unique Cow/Whale Hybrid Experiments · · Score: 1

    or did you just get a new batch of porn?

  7. Re:An example happened to me today on Moore's Law Is Microsoft's Latest Enemy · · Score: 1

    SQL 2005 Express edition is your friend here. If that doesnt work then presumably there is actually a technical reason why the full server db is required so MySsql is probably no use to you anyway.

  8. Re:Pertains to density at a given price on Moore's Law Is Microsoft's Latest Enemy · · Score: 2, Funny

    Thats not amazing, everyone knows goats are sluts that love the attention.

  9. Re:Honestly... on University of San Francisco Law Clinic Joins Fight Against RIAA · · Score: 2, Insightful

    There is a big difference between between using a computer and an understanding of the law, nevermind grasping that there is an even bigger difference between the machinations of the legal system and justice.

  10. The real cause of global warming on California Lawmaker Seeks Climate Change as part of Public Education · · Score: 3, Funny

    Is all the non believers who have been getting sent to hell recently. With the level of unbelievers and sinners so high hell is now considerably hotter and this is having a knock on effect on the environment. Since god created hell global warming can be laid at his door.

  11. Re:The man died with open eyes doing what he loved on Steve Fossett Declared Dead · · Score: 5, Funny

    I like to post dangerously on Slashdot to keep the blood flowing.

  12. Re:As previously seen on BoingBoing on What Makes Something "Better Than Free"? · · Score: 1

    So if i should feel a need to take some GPL code and badge it as my own then OSS will carry on just fine (apart from the whinging about stealing obviously).

    With a stick of course, how else do you measure things?

  15. Re:terrists? on Failed Avionics a Possible Cause of BA038 Crash · · Score: 1

    Its surprising boeing have not been at this already. After the Long Island crash they were quite keen on the terrorist missile theory because it helped "explain" the fact that their fuel tanks could explode when a light was switched on.

  16. Re:About time on RIAA-fighting Maine Law Professor Speaks Out · · Score: 1

    Some one else is always to blame. That myust be so comforting

  17. Say no to Size Zero drives on Panasonic To Ship Form Factor-Standard Blu-ray Drive · · Score: 2, Funny

    They are a bad role model for all the other drives that now have to canibalize themselves to keep up.

  18. Re:Madness, I say on BBC Creates 'Perl on Rails' · · Score: 0, Troll

    I liked the 'We need Perl' quote from the blog. If you tell me you 'need' a language to implement a website I know I need to find someone else to build it. Sounds like a bunch of Perl coders who cant be bothered to learn another platform trying to keep themselves in jobs.

  19. Re:Good news for the defendant on Rochester Judge Holds RIAA Evidence Insufficient · · Score: 4, Funny

    He aint heavy, he's my filesharer.

  20. Re:Wow! What an innovative idea! on New Way of Extending Satellite Life Saves Millions · · Score: 4, Funny

    I already tried to but apparently I needed 3 other patents to balance it out and now my application is just spinning wildly out of control.

  21. Re:Silence is golden on US Army Unveils Hybrid-Electric Propulsion System · · Score: 0, Troll

    he bad guys weren't aware nearly as soon.
    Or as more frequently seems to have been the case, civillians got an even bigger surprise than usual.
  22. Deadly ? on New and Improved Deadly Snail Venom · · Score: 1

    I'd like to see the snail that could chase me down to inject me.

  23. Protection from what exactly on Bogus Company Obtains Nuclear License · · Score: 3, Informative

    Investigations into the dirty bomb theory have concluded that there was likely to be little damage or loss of life from a dirty bomb other than that caused by the explosion itself and that the effects of the radioactive material would be highly localised and negligible if the area is cleaned quickly. Of course as soon as the T word gets used in conjunction with dirty bombs they are one step away from Armageddon.
