  1. doctor who episode on "Lazarus Project" Clones Extinct Frog · · Score: 1

    All I could think about was season 3 episode 6 of Doctor Who. Egads.No thanks.

  2. pastafarians on NYC Bans Mention of Dinosaurs, Dancing, Birthdays On Student Tests · · Score: 1

    Might not be able to mention spaghetti either. His Noodliness and followers may be offended ;)

  3. hmmm on Seti Live Website To Crowdsource the Search For Alien Life · · Score: 1

    Time to unearth my speak and spell.

  4. I can see clearly on Northeast Passage Becomes Viable Trade Route · · Score: 1

    I can see Russia from my boat!

  5. blast! on 1970s Polaroid SX-70 Cameras Make a Comeback · · Score: 1

    Already sold out!! I have been looking for a SX-70. Hmm, $350 though? Wowsers.

  6. Re:DJ Hero on Activision Trying To 'Reinvent' Guitar Hero · · Score: 1

    I would agree to some extent that the music selection was bad. However, how 'good' do you expect it to be? Really, I'd rather stick to the real thing (turn tables and laptop for beat matching) rather than a game.

  7. Alaskan Trees thank you on State of Alaska Prints Out Palin's E-Mails; Online Distribution 'Impractical' · · Score: 1

    Wow, what a waste of paper!! Seriously, printing out the emails? How about just putting them on line? impractical for whom?

  8. step 3 on Wikileaks Opens Official Online Store · · Score: 1

    profit!

  9. bummer (to US consumers) on Biodegradable Sneakers Sprout Flowers When Planted · · Score: 1

    Looks like they are only going to be available in Europe initially.

  10. ATC interaction? on Honeywell To Sell Miami-Dade Police a Surveillance Drone · · Score: 1

    The aviation community (myself included) might have some concerns with a drone flying around in Class B airspace. Is it taking off/landing at MIA? Interacting with ATC or MIA tower? Hmm, 10,500ft seems a bit high to monitor traffic/crime from ;)

  11. 2 parts? on MGM and Warner Near On Deal For Hobbit Films · · Score: 1

    I'm in the dear god no camp... Why can't Hollywood find something original to do. I'm still waiting for the sequel to Moby Dick ;) Two parts? Really? Oh right, forgot Hollywood credo #2: Profit.

  12. Careful... on Drunken Employee Shoots Server · · Score: 1

    Captain Ramius: Hey, Ryan, be careful what you shoot at. Most things in here don't react too well to bullets.

  13. Re:WTF on GOP Senators Move To Block FCC On Net Neutrality · · Score: 1

    The FCC's rush to takeover the Internet is just the latest example of the need for fundamental reform to protect consumers.

    The FCC is trying to protect consumers, you fuck. Honestly, do these people believe that anyone will swallow lies like that?

    Simply put: Yes.

  14. that's classified on Onion Story Gets Blown Out of Proportion · · Score: 1

    Hah. Hilarious. Some people will believe anything I guess.... Tinfoil hats: engaged!

  15. bofh excuse on Tracking Down Wi-Fi Interference? · · Score: 1

    That would be solar flares, son.

  16. Consumers are dumb! on Developers Expect iOS and MacOS To Merge · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I think the mentality of most home users are that they want Apple to tell them what apps can run on their device(s). Let's hope the power users talk some sense into Apple. I for one don't like the idea of only being able to consume apps that are published via the App Store...

  17. On iTunes? on "Music" Of the Sun Recorded By Astronomers · · Score: 1

    How soon before it is up on iTunes? ;)

  18. WoG on November Indie Game Round-Up · · Score: 1

    I'd like to see this on more than just PC/Mac/Wii... (PS3 maybe?)

  19. almost read this wrong on A Linux-Based "Breath Test" For Porn On PCs · · Score: 1

    Almost read this as 'random breast test'... oops

  20. great, now he can start working on on Math Prof Uncovers Secret Chord · · Score: 1

    the brown note... that should be some interesting math.

  21. Re:IFL? Haha, what a joke. on Mainframe OpenSolaris Now Available · · Score: 1

    Mainframes are typically for number crunching apps. I had to run some comparisons and for the RHEL5/WebSphere Process Server (ESB) combination we ran - it was keeping up quite well with transactions. I had to pull them back when the business was suggesting to run their web server there. The cost was not justified.

  22. wireless mouse and three degrees of bank on Qantas Blames Wireless For Aircraft Incidents · · Score: 1

    So with a bit of digging, the wireless mouse was blamed on a boeing 747 flight. The plane turned with three degrees of bank. I couldn't find the actual report of the incident on Australia's Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Local Government site.

  23. Re:All this sounds nice, but there's another side. on Ford To Introduce Restrictive Car Keys For Parents · · Score: 1

    Maybe they could work on improving gas mileage? oh, right "think of the children" is far more important ;) If my kid is doing 75, they will be grounded for some time. I agree with another comment here asking why you would speed up to avoid an accident. Typically in cases I've seen - it is slamming of the brakes that is instinctual.

  24. other software on Windows 7 Trades Email and Photo Apps For Downloadable Ones · · Score: 1

    how about IE? oh yeah, forgot that it was integrated into the OS...

  25. more from an Washington post article on Google Unveils First Android Phone · · Score: 5, Informative

    another article: http://voices.washingtonpost.com/fasterforward/2008/09/t-mobile_unveils_first_google.html
    This unveiling also brought some bad news for Android enthusiasts.
    * Neither Google nor HTC nor T-Mobile will ship any sort of desktop-synchronization software with the phone, so your only way to get your address book and calendars onto the G1 will be to upload them to Gmail and Google Calendar. I can't believe that these companies are leaving a function this basic as a "third party opportunity."
    * The G1, like the iPhone and T-Mobile's Sidekick, will have its SIM card slot locked to prevent the use of other carriers' subscriber-identity module cards. So if you don't like T-Mobile's network here or its roaming rates overseas, you'll either have to suck it up or hope somebody "jailbreaks" this phone in the same way that hackers have defeated the iPhone's SIM locking.
    * The G1 will offer limited compatibility with some of the files you use most often. It will only be able to read Microsoft Office files, not edit them. And while its music player will be able to use MP3, Windows Media and AAC files, you'll need to wait for a third-party to provide some sort of add-on to sync your iTunes library to the phone. And iTunes Store downloads restricted with Apple's "digital rights management" locks won't play on the G1 (though the G1 is no different from other non-Apple devices in this respect; that's why you shouldn't buy Apple's DRM-ed downloads at all when you get the same music as an unlocked, open MP3 from Amazon's MP3 store).
    * Its Bluetooth is as limited as the iPhone's. The G1 will initially support only hands-free kits, with "A2DP" stereo-sound output coming later on and, it seems, no plans for file transfer or other, more useful Bluetooth options.
