  1. Re:Related Story on Female Sharks Can Reproduce Alone · · Score: 1

    I think it's pretty obvious. The females who reproduce asexually can only give birth to more females. Hence, they outnumber the males.

  2. Better yet capital punishment on Student in Court Over Suspension For YouTube Video · · Score: 1

    The best way to eliminate classroom disruption would be to eliminate the disruptive students. An electric chair in every school would promote good behavior and help with overcrowding.

  3. Re:Yes on Is Linux Out of Touch With the Average User? · · Score: 1

    And the fact that if you want to use any programs on linux you usually have to compile the source yourself.
    Maybe you should try debian or red hat before jumping to gentoo.
  4. Re:Macs for artists on Apple Sued Over 'Lacking' Macbook Display · · Score: 1

    If macs are sold as artistic machines (Apple sure tries to pull this off with the PC and Mac adverts) then shouldn't the monitors be as high quality and accurate as possible?
    You'd think so, but CRTs don't look nearly as impressive from behind.
  5. Re:vye....null? on The Rise of "Hybrid" Vinyl-MP3s · · Score: 5, Funny

    It's an ancient musical recording that is etched into a circular rock. A bird presses it's beak to the stone and rotates it, producing sound.

  6. Re:Sole automobile transmission is a hybrid in 202 on Toyota Going 100% Hybrid By 2020 · · Score: 3, Funny

    If the other car manufacturers are smart, they'll build less fuel efficient cars. Then by 2020, there will be no more gas and Toyota's invesment in hybrids will be useless.

  7. Re:The Community is doing MS's work for them on Linus Responds To Microsoft Patent Claims · · Score: 1

    MS will NEVER sue anybody using Linux because the consequences of MS losing that case would be disastrous.

    They should be more afraid of the other technological superpowers that have plenty of patents and a vested interest in Linux. For every questionable patent Microsoft has, IBM has three.

  8. Knock Knock... on TiVo Awarded Patent For Password You Can't Hack · · Score: 1
    Who's there?

    Maxtor!

  9. Attention Moderators: on Bill Bans NSA Eavesdropping · · Score: 3, Funny

    Mod Parent Redundant.

  10. Re:Interference on Own Your Own 128-Bit Integer · · Score: 5, Funny

    even if script seems down.
    it worked fine for me. My number is 503.
  11. Re:Let's not overlook the phrase, "raison d'etre" on Steve Jobs Personally Resolves Customer Complaint · · Score: 1

    Plus, it's mighty tasty

  12. Re:Summary Title on Lone Programmer Writes 352 Webcam Drivers For Linux · · Score: 5, Funny

    He wrote those 99 drivers in the time it took for the article to be posted.

  13. Z-Machine? on Z Machine Advances Fusion Race · · Score: 4, Funny
    The horizon is lost in the glare of morning upon the Great Sea. You shield your eyes to sweep the shore below, where a village lies nestled beside a quiet cove.

    A stunted oak tree shades the inland road.

  14. Re:Linux is fading away on The Completely Fair Scheduler · · Score: 1

    maybe people just search by the name of the distro.

  15. Re:Is anyone surprised? on Thousands of White House E-mails Deleted · · Score: 1

    USA has become a 1st class banana republic.

    You say that as if there was ever a time when congress wasn't a sausage-fest.

  16. Re:Hm on AMD's New DRM · · Score: 1

    I was hoping for Linux support rival to Intel's and no DRM.

    There's already Linux support for the new cards. Since the framebuffer will act as write-only memory, they can just reuse the null device driver.

  17. Re:The beginning of the end? on Google Pushes Open Source OCR · · Score: 1

    I could see it eventually becoming good enough to parse at least some types of captchas.

    That'll be great. Then the spammers can crack the weak captchas to get free e-mail addresses and can flood everyone's inbox with captchaesque text that's strong enough to fool the OCR. This seems like a brillantly thought-out plan.

  18. Re:But... on Data Centers Breathe Easier With Less Oxygen · · Score: 1

    Now we can ask for that remote control (VR?) robot to do this work for us.

    We'd better buy 2, so we have a backup robot to repair the main one if it breaks down.

  19. Re:But... on Data Centers Breathe Easier With Less Oxygen · · Score: 5, Funny

    How could you work in a datacenter with no oxygen

    SSH?

  20. Re:Hurts when your own ox is gored, doesn't it? on NPR Takes First Step To Fight Internet Royalties · · Score: 1

    I'm sure all the NPR execs that read this site will think twice before crossing an anonymous web post.

    Well, if they're as swayed by his user ID as I am, they'll listen.

  21. Re:Genes don't fold..... on PS3 Owners To Simulate Gene Folding · · Score: 1

    Your covering days are over, Paper!

    Rock breaks through paper.

  22. Re:Who? on PS3 Owners To Simulate Gene Folding · · Score: 1

    Clearly you never wash your pants, or you'd know how to fold blue genes.

  23. Re:Silicon of the future? (Is it COMMON?) on New State of Matter Boosts Quantum Computation · · Score: 1

    At least we can be sure that "Dippin' Dots" will be "the ice cream of the quantum computing era".

    If you're sure of anything, you're obviously not a quantum physics researcher.

  24. Internal Combusiton? on A New Lease On Internal Combustion · · Score: 2, Funny

    This headline made my brain spontaneously combusit.

  25. Re:MTBF on Intel Stomps Into Flash Memory · · Score: 0

    Did they really test these for 5 million hours or are they just pulling the number out of their ass?
