  1. 640 YB on What 'IT' Stuff Should We Teach Ninth-Graders? · · Score: 0

    Teach them that 640 yottabytes of RAM isn't necessarily enough for anybody.

  2. Re:Teach them how to communicate on What 'IT' Stuff Should We Teach Ninth-Graders? · · Score: 0

    But then everybody except the patent holder would be forbidden to use proper language on the internet.

    Which would be totally unfair to the 12 people left who don't have a Twitter account.

  3. Re:Monitor on What Pinball Looks Like When the Stakes Are High · · Score: 0

    I like to have a lot of windows open, side by side. For me, wide screen is far more pleasing to the eye than looking at a square with one window on it.

  4. Re:Wearable displays? on Nanoresonators Create Ultra-High-Res Displays · · Score: 0

    This means that Dick Tracey can have better pr0n on his watch...

    Maybe he can watch his favourite... Lick Tracey.

  5. Re:How Does It Encapsulate the Source Code? on Many Hackers Accidentally Send Their Code To Microsoft · · Score: 0

    System crash implies a bluescreen

    Maybe if 'system' means the OS, but not if 'system' means the hacker's program/virus/code, in which case you might just get an end program prompt.

  6. Re:Wait... on PR Firm Settles With FTC On Fake Game Reviews · · Score: 0

    Uuuuuh, maybe because you're just 1 person? Why did Ray Croc set up a global hamburger empire, when he could have just flipped burgers himself?

  7. Re:Finally, a use for SPAM on Collage, and the Challenge of "Deniability" · · Score: 0

    I tried to decode it but all I got was this:

  8. Re:Air strike would be folly on Iran Opens Its First Nuclear Power Plant · · Score: 0

    If the strike put a radioactive plum in the air that drifted over part of China or India, that would be worse.

    Those flying radioactive plums are never good news.

  9. Different italics. on Anti-Depressants Used Against StarCraft Addiction · · Score: 0

    I accidentally read the headline as:
    Anti-Depressants Used Against StarCraft Addiction

  10. Re:This will not stop best buy from have monster s on Calling Shenanigans On Super SATA's Claimed Audio Qualities · · Score: 0

    Reminds me of a joke, something like:

    A: Can I borrow $50?
    B: $40?! What do you want to borrow $30 for?! I can't afford $20! Nope, no $10 for you.

  11. Re:This will not stop best buy from have monster s on Calling Shenanigans On Super SATA's Claimed Audio Qualities · · Score: 0

    Make your time.

  12. Re:Who cares what Murdoch thinks? on Rupert Murdoch Claims To Own the 'Sky' In 'Skype' · · Score: 1

    Obviously he's an moron.

    This is the funniest and most ironic thing I've read in ages. I don't read much.

  13. oh, and half of it is sky which doesnt really count.

    Are you kidding? The sky is always the hardest part. First you have to start with the corners, then do all the edge pieces, then assemble any clouds/planes/birds, etc., then brute force the rest over the next 3+ months. Imagine the size of their coffee table.

  14. Re:Thank god. on Toshiba Developing High-Density 1TB SSD · · Score: 0

    That's all well and good, but what fraction of a car is that?

    Car / [0.1 LoC/(ps^3)]

  15. Re:Thank god. on Toshiba Developing High-Density 1TB SSD · · Score: 0

    Postage stamp is a unit of area. :(

    Yep in this case, area not volume. I doubt these SSDs will be as thin as a postage stamp.

  16. Re:Court artist? on Low-Cost Robotic Arm Sketches Faces · · Score: 0

    Its not allowed to take photographs in courts here in Victoria, Australia so newspapers employ sketch artists to sit in the court and draw portraits of the accused, witnesses, etc.

    (you think I'm kidding, don't you?)

    That may be dumb, but it's not as dumb as blurring or pixelating the sketches when they're shown on TV in Australia. (No, I'm not kidding either).

  17. Re:AI first on When Will AI Surpass Human Intelligence? · · Score: 0

    100 years ago in many couldn't the majority couldn't read

    Could they write?

  18. Re:WooHoo! I'm safe! on Studies Find Harm From Cellular and Wi-Fi Signals · · Score: 0

    You forget: There are no women on the internet.

    You mean all these hot pictures I've been [looking at] aren't actually women? :( I think I'm gonna throw up.

  19. Re:It's about time on New Most Precise Clock Based On Aluminum Ion · · Score: 0

    It's about time

    Best. Article summary. Ever.

  20. Re:Aged badly on Red Dwarf To Return, Find Earth · · Score: 0

    How on earth could you leave Fawlty Towers out of that list?!

  21. Re:Testing!?! on Microsoft Issues Workaround For Zune Freeze · · Score: 1

    Well, judging from the number of Zune owners who couldn't listen to music on new years eve, it probably should be.

    I'm sure all 6 of them were probably too drunk to notice.

  22. Re:Matt Smith on Actor Matt Smith Will Be 11th Doctor Who · · Score: 1

    Maybe he's the article submitter, Jerry Smith's, brother.

  23. win7 performance on 32bit Win7 Vs. Vista Vs. XP · · Score: -1, Troll

    "Win7 performs better than the other 2 OSs" In other words, it only crashes once a month, instead of once a week.

  24. 7 or 9 inch iPhones on Larger iPod Touch In Apple's Future? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Does this mean we'll also see people talking on 9" iPhones?

  25. My Privacy Test on Browser Privacy Test · · Score: 5, Funny

    My undies are blue.
    I'm secretly in love with my best friend's wife, but I like gay midget porn.

    Damn, Firefox privacy test failed :(
