  1. Re:Transporters until..... on How Will We Get Around Near-Future Earth? · · Score: 1

    Some crazy fucker decides to load himself with a nuke, and teleport into Times Square.

  2. Yeah, Peter..... on US Govt Makes Times New Roman 14 Official Font · · Score: 1

    I see that you used Courier New on your last document, did you get the memo? Yeah, because we switched to Times New Roman, Yeah, I'll go ahead and send you another copy of that memo.

  3. Invite only? on Google Social Network: Orkut · · Score: 5, Funny

    I feel like the fat kid who always got picked last for dodgeball. Wait, I am the fat kid that always got picked last for dodgeball. Somehow this hurts slightly more.

  4. Re:Explains the planes also on Methane Bubbles Could Sink Ships · · Score: 1
    hrmm, if I remember my physics correctly, lift is created by the drag on the bottom of the wing creating lower air pressure on the top of the wing. Bubbles of methane, in one giant mass or not, would create a lower pressure under the wings when it hit it, either equalizing the air pressure on both sides, or lowering the air pressure on the bottom. Therefore killing lift. Maybe I don't remember correctly but it doesn't sound too far fetched.

  5. Explains the planes also on Methane Bubbles Could Sink Ships · · Score: 1
    Yeah, this is old, but I haven't seen it mentioned about the planes though. The methane rising from the surface forms a cloud when a plane flys through it would kill the lift and pretty much drop it out of the air.

  6. Distribution on Project Gutenberg Publishes 10,000th Free eBook · · Score: 1
    Maybe they should take something like BitTorrent to start distributing these books. The load on those http and ftp servers would probably be dramatically dropped. It might also be good proof to naysayers that peer to peer networks have a legitimate purpose.

  7. HomeBrew! on Skittlebrau · · Score: 1
    Since part of the brewing process involves sugar, someone should just brew with the proper amount of skittles instead of sugar. I suppose you could leave out the finishing sugar and replace it in the bottle with skittles, but you'd probably have to boil them down to break up the sugars. Of course you wouldn't have the candies floating in the beer, but you could brew with less sugar during the wort stage, and then add it when you open the beer, kinda like corona and lemon--or whatever. Then and only then, would it be true Skittlebrau(tm)

  8. Re:text version (aka karma whoring) on US/Canada Power Outage Task Force Event Timeline · · Score: 1

    4:11:57 PM - 9:00:00AM - Entire city of Manhattan gets drunk.

  9. I hope this succeeds! on RIAA PR Efforts Examined · · Score: 1

    Then I can murder people, and testify that I paid for the gun so I thought it was OK to shoot people with it.

  10. Re:heh. on Postfix: A Secure and Easy-to-Use MTA · · Score: 4, Funny

    yeap, and it's the same homeland security that after buying that issued this warning. I suppose I should be glad they're looking out, because you and I both know that the terrorists might come into the country next through the finger exploit.

  11. The directors cut! on SoBig: Worst is Yet to Come · · Score: 1

    The title of this article sounds like it should be the name of a pr0n flick.

  12. Now let's open source it! on Cringely Tries Snapster 2.0 · · Score: 1
    Someone should take the idea and remove the corporate entity. Make it a peer to peer network where users "lend" their legal content, by streaming it out to one user at a time. Same rules apply, but no centralized power to get corrupted.

    Or (in the short term), boycott buying new CD's,just buy used CD's, rip them when you get them, then sell them online again once you're done. This way you avoid giving the RIAA your money, and you can contribute by buying a new CD once a month, and selling that. It's low tech, but if you don't distribute, you're probably pretty safe.

    Then again the RIAA would probably lobby congress to supeona half.com, or make selling used CD's illegal.

  13. Thank god today's payday on HomeSec Warns Again About Microsoft's Insecurity · · Score: 1

    So I can help fund shit like this...
    Step 1. Microsoft wins homeland security contract worth $100 million
    Step 2. Homeland security warns of flaws in microsoft software
    So, this government has spent $100 million dollars to Q&A Microsoft products. Meanwhile,at the NSA, free security enhanced linux.
    Your tax dollars hard at work. I'm going to buy a box of tea and throw it in Boston harbor.

  14. Solution on House Bill to Make File-Sharing an Automatic Felony · · Score: 1

    Store the software for this Sensor Networks for NBC Threats in an eeprom, when updates are done, neighbors notify each other and spread the code. Peer to Peer network, sharing files. Then we all setup our own sensors, under the auspices of public safety, thereby downloading software from a peer to peer network excluding us from legal action. It wouldn't hurt if the operating software for these sensors had a nice beat and we could all dance to it.

    This country tastes like pain.

  15. If Apple is capable of this? on Apple's G5 Speeds Challenged · · Score: 2, Funny

    Does this mean that my Pentium III doesn't really make the internet any faster? It was all a facade to sell me more processing power? Oh, the humanity.

  16. Well it seems they've forgotten on Widespread Use of Hydrogen May Hurt Ozone Layer · · Score: 3, Insightful

    If the hydrogen is produced by Methane reformation, there is a carbon that's lost during that process which would most likely be released into the atmosphere. Contributing even more to global warming.

  17. Make the show longer! on Ask Alton Brown How Food+Heat=Cooking · · Score: 1

    A half an hour is not long enough for me to get my food science fix! Why not increase the show to an hour in length?
