  1. Tell me I'm wrong on RFID MasterCard · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I'm haven't read much on RFID tags, but I thought the power came from the reader, so the only thing that would have to be more powerful for the cards to be read from more than an inch away would be the reader, not the card.

  2. Re:is 100% coverage necessary? on Estonia Embraces Wi-Fi Wireless Internet Access · · Score: 1, Funny

    Ya see, my plan is that we strap wifi repeaters on the backs of some dingos and kangaroos and then put bulky, overpowered access points on the koalas. We'll have australia blanketed in warm radio glow in no time!

  3. For a small price... on PacManhattan Relocates Classic Game To New York Streets · · Score: 5, Funny

    I'll gladly hurl barrels at the submitter... or anyone, really.

  4. Get along? on Going Back to the Moon and Mars · · Score: 1

    The way I see it is, if you have to depend on someone completely to live, you'll be friendly.

  5. Re:weekend? on FBI Raids Arizona School District Over Copyright Infringement · · Score: 1

    I don't know if it's different from state to state, but here overtime is calculated by hours worked per week, not when they're worked.

  6. Re:Robots compete? on FIRST Robotics Championship Underway · · Score: 2, Funny

    Man, I'm jealous. I go to Sprayberry a few miles away and our most technical course is "Build the school webpage while being screamed at not to use a text editor rather than frontpage," IE, "Gifted Computer Programming" and you guys get robots? =P

  7. Re:Best time is Winter on Can You Spare A Few Trillion Cycles? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Good thing the other half of the world is in winter then, isn't it?

  8. Re:IPv6: Not Ready For Prime Time on IPv6 Rollout Japan, China in 2005 · · Score: 1

    Duh! How else are the script kiddies gonna display goatse in scarification across people's chests?

  9. China? on IPv6 Rollout Japan, China in 2005 · · Score: 5, Funny

    An IP address for every chinese citizen? Time to start working on IPv8!

    (-1, I Like Chinese)

  10. Re:RtCWeT on Good Online FPS Games/Servers For Beginners? · · Score: 1

    Unless that pair of pants stealing helps you beat the Fuel Dump defense in under 2 minutes?

  11. Re:Excellent on Second Hypersonic X43 Scramjet Ready for Testing · · Score: 1

    There's a Lucy and Linus joke from Peanus about left and right hands hiding in there somewhere...

  12. Re:Future SCO's on Groklaw Traces Contribution of ABIs back to SCO. · · Score: 1

    CEOs got scrupples?! With apologies to Johnny Hart

  13. Re:Notice that law isn't exempt on Congressional Committee Approves Database Bill · · Score: 1

    I think the grandparent was refering to copying a 'significant chunk' of it. Online databases such as, for example, groklaw could be found infringing.

  14. Re:Sounds good, right? Here's the problem... on Internet Use Grows to 69 Percent of US Adults · · Score: 1

    Offtopic:

    "Jesus Christ, come off your high-horse."
    I read that and thought, oh my, religious flame bait gets modded up these days? =)

  15. Re:Duke Nukem on Verisign Certificate Expiration Causes Multiple Problems · · Score: 0

    Duke Nukem wasn't an FPS, it was a side scroller.

  16. Re:So technically... on ISS May Have A Leak · · Score: 1

    As the pressure is higher inside the ISS than out it blows.

  17. Re:ok on ISS May Have A Leak · · Score: 2, Interesting

    They could probally make some lather and cover the station in soap while spacewalking, that would help...

  18. Re:So .... what's their plan of action? on ISS May Have A Leak · · Score: 4, Informative

    I think, although I'm not at all sure, that there are Soyuz on the ISS for emergency departure.

  19. Re:What will it play with? on VIA/Apex Game Console Details Leaked · · Score: 1

    How many hours did you spend modding your XBox, and what's minimum wage where you live?

  20. Good thing too on DVD-Jon Completely Clear · · Score: 0, Redundant

    My buddy, Thor, was about to go on a killing spree in the Norwegian court system. He was mumbling about not being able to copy his favorite tear-jerker to his laptop of doom, and he was just grabbing his hammer and helmet when I saw this and and showed him.

  21. Actually on Earth Travel On Time, Again · · Score: 1

    Squirrel amputees just squirm faster, they'll STILL chase you down and gnaw out your eyes.

  22. Re:Weirdest gift I ever received... on Weird Presents Anyone? · · Score: 1

    I gave something similar to one of my friends =)

  23. Re:If it took standard batteries... on Rumors of Mini iPods · · Score: 1

    I imagine you'd spend almost as much, if not more, money on decent name brand batteries in an 18 month time span as you would on the Apple replacement.

  24. They're innovators! on Mythic Sues Microsoft Over Mythica MMORPG · · Score: 1

    I'd NEVER have thought of a talking paper clip. Oh, stoners and innovators aren't the same thing?

  25. Re:Some quickies on Best and Worst Books of 2003? · · Score: 1

    They are like twelve. If you don't want to read about children, stop reading childrens books.
