  1. Re:new patent meme on Buckyballs Detected In Space · · Score: 1

    Piiiigs iiin Spaaaace!

  2. Re:Shaking on 5.5 Earthquake Hits Canada; Felt in US Midwest, New England · · Score: 1

    43.711595,-79.684095, a few kilometers away. I didn't feel anything, but my coworkers sure seem to have.

  3. Re:Central Canada? on 5.5 Earthquake Hits Canada; Felt in US Midwest, New England · · Score: 5, Informative

    Central Canada is a term used in Canada to represent Ontario and Quebec, as opposed to Western or Atlantic Canada. It has little to do with geography.

  4. Re:No use on Google Launches Lively, an Avatar Based 3D World · · Score: 1

    This is just a logical extension of emoticons - a way to express yourself without using words. Also: what if some of your friends happen to thousands of kilometers away?

  5. Re:Yes, we have no bananas! on Bye Bye Bananas — the Return of Panama Disease · · Score: 1

    That sure mushed-a been somethin'! Thirty thousand pounds of mashed bananas!

  6. This'll never win. on Tolkien Trust Sues New Line, May Kill "Hobbit" · · Score: 1

    Throughout 3 hefty volumes, Sauron's forces had chance after chance to kill any of the four hobbits. And yet, they failed utterly. What makes these lawyers think they can do better?

  7. Re:PLEASE, enough with the words! on The Podjacker Threat · · Score: 1

    If I really really like podcasts, am I a podophile? Jaz

  8. Re:"Built to Last" on Google's Ten Golden Rules · · Score: 1

    Don't forget the amazing sequel: Good to Great. It's very detailed analysis of how several companies leapt from being mediocre companies to names that will last. More interestingly, he compares these companies with some competitors that were in a similar position at time X, and what happened to make that competitor no longer relevant. Jaz

  9. Blue eyes on Mad Scientist Invents Colored Bubbles · · Score: 5, Funny

    Come ON you guys. The man turned the whites of his eyes blue. BLUE. And you think of bubbles! For shame! Have you not considered that he may be the Kwisatz Haderach?

  10. Solution on Taiwan Irked at Google's Version of Earth · · Score: 2, Interesting

    a "/" I.e. Taiwan (ROC/Province of PRC)

    Or call it just plain ol' Taiwan.

    Or hey, even better, give it a name based on originating IP.

  11. TRON nod on No Publisher Love For Darwinia · · Score: 1

    Is it just me or is there a nod to tron in one of the screenshots? http://www.darwinia.co.uk/screenshots/t_image6.jpg

  12. Evolution??? on Realism vs. Style: the Zelda Debate · · Score: 2, Funny

    Looking at some of those screenshots, Link looks fairly intelligently designed. *ba dum ching* Oops, there goes my karma. :P

  13. In Soviet Russia... on Bill Gates Proclaims US High Schools Obsolete · · Score: -1

    High School obsoletes you!

  14. Looks like... on Steam Registration Servers Overloaded · · Score: 0, Redundant

    they should have opened the Valve a little more.

  15. Re:Summary == incorrect on US Ready to put Weapons in Space · · Score: 1

    I guess I won't be watching Tomb Raider 3 then!

  16. Re:everyone sing along on Intel Puts WiFi Back Into Next Gen Chipsets · · Score: 2, Funny

    you do the marketing,
    and turn it off before ship out.
    That's what it's all about!

  17. Re:WTF? on Intel Puts WiFi Back Into Next Gen Chipsets · · Score: 1

    Yes, replying to own post: STFU not intended as insult to grandparent.

  18. Re:WTF? on Intel Puts WiFi Back Into Next Gen Chipsets · · Score: 1

    I heard it was scheduled for after the STFU release targetted at its more advanced users :) L

  19. Shaking laptop on Shaking Hard Drives Instead of Spinning? · · Score: 2, Funny

    I can't wait to get one of these shaking, and therefore vibrating, babies in my laptop! Just make sure the shaking is perpendicular to the keyboard ;)

  20. Re:Isn't it the least used? on Study Recommends Mac OS X as Safest OS · · Score: 3, Informative

    If you read about how Opener is built, it's pretty obvious that it's neither a virus nor a trojan per say, but just a malicious script. No reason to get your britches all in a knot: any decent *nix user should be able to whip up some of these easily.

  21. Re:PPV on TiVo Plans More Functionality Reductions · · Score: 1

    Such a discrepancy must exist for the scenario mentioned by the original reply to exist. And isn't what we're talking about a form of fraud, which actually is tried by courts? Buying and selling happens because the (market dictated) value I pay is roughly equivalent to the (market dictated) value I receive. If it does not, I return it, exchange it, resell it (hopefully at a profit), or I talk the seller to court.

  22. Re:PPV on TiVo Plans More Functionality Reductions · · Score: 1

    IANAL, but from my last business law class, Party 2 could later take Party 1 to court, since there is a large discrepancy between the market price of the movie and the market price of the house.

  23. Played the SW:TP board game... on New Star Wars DVD for Trivia Buffs · · Score: 1

    anyone else find it boringly easy? It's like they wrote the game for people who'd seen the movies 2-3x max.

  24. Just like a concealed universal remote... on The Universal Off Button · · Score: 1

    in Future Shop: endless amounts of fun while watching poor salespeople try to figure out why their equipment is going haywire and disturbing their sales pitches!

  25. Re:suprising... on Whopping-Big Data Theft At U.C. Berkeley · · Score: 1

    And when has a high profile implied better security or tighter access restrictions. I used to work, as a temporary contractor, for a high profile corp. I also had access to data very similar to this, without signing any NDAs, or any other documents related to this. I'm also pretty sure that my other contracts didn't include this, because when I pointed it out to my boss he said something along the lines of "heh, yeah, we probably should have done that." In my experience, if an organization is bigger/higher profile, it just means more fallout when a breach happens.
