  1. Re:Best headline ever! on Android Ported To iPhone · · Score: 1

    I think the headline is in itself better than the substance of the story! Is Jobs punching holes in the walls now?

    I love that this headline came less than a day after the headline about Steve Jobs recommending Android for porn.

  2. Re:Engineering Fashion Analogies ... on Ultrathin Silk-Based Brain Implants · · Score: 1

    Can someone tell me what the Large Hadron Collider is with a woman's fashion analogy . . . ?

    It's like an expensive pair of shoes that look great but are a terrible fit. Most of the time you curse spending all that money on them because you hardly get a chance to use them but they're so darn cute you keep trying anyway.

    (Minutes ago, I yelled across the house, "hon, can you think of a shoe analogy for the LHC?")

    Free, the one word that makes every word immediately after it more valuable.

    Two words: Free Willy.

  4. Re:Like the sound of this on Steve Jobs Recommends Android For Fans of Porn · · Score: 1

    I love how this got modded informative

    Even though it's funny as hell, it's a good point. That's why it's modded informative.

    Must've been one hell of an offer letter!

  6. Re:Some people don't listen on Digital Photocopiers Loaded With Secrets · · Score: 1

    Because printers shouldn't be the CEO's responsibility? It's a computer with webserver capabilites and IT should be locking it down, not the CEO.

    For fun, I replaced all occurrences of HR with another party who isn't responsible for the printers but was emailed regardless.

    Not that I disagree with you, but if someone says the printers are HR's responsibility I'd contact them before going over their heads.

    I somehow knew this topic would be the butt of every joke.

    Only the cheeky ones.

    so did Nethack :P

    Except when the floor was too hard to dig in.

  9. Re:"Source Code [...] Stolen" on Source Code To Google Authentication System Stolen · · Score: 1

    You don't need to re-distribute a copyrighted work to commit copyright infringement. Making a single copy for yourself constitutes copyright infringement.

    I thought that constituted fair use.

  10. Re:So... on George Washington Racks Up 220 Years of Late Fees At Library · · Score: 2, Informative

    Just in case you didn't know, it's "touché" and not "too shay".

    Just in case you didn't know... it's probably Shay. ;)

    In the meantime, here's a close-up photo of a black hole.

    I found your link enlightening.

    They did. Then they switched it on, and ever since they are seeking the device.

    You gave me a great idea: use the invisibility cloak to take a nap at work! As long as you're nowhere someone's likely to trip over you and don't snore too loudly you'd have it made!

  13. Re:What's in it for Google? on Towards an Open Geolocation Database · · Score: 1

    huh, what makes you think they can't buy it with their billions in cash?! of all these companys in the list the only one who's useful is google.

    I imagine nothing makes him think they can't buy it, but that doesn't make his point that Google doesn't own the data less valid.

  14. Re:Watch the touch down too! on Shuttle Reentry Over the Continental US · · Score: 1

    Kind of ironic that it doesn't take a rocket scientist to realize that was a joke.

  15. Re:I will punish comcast.... on Comcast Customers Urged To Opt-Out of Settlement · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Oh Luxury!! I do not have that option if I want high speed internet.

    You can't eat your cake and have it too. Either Comcast pisses you off enough that you don't sign up with them (and yes, you go without high speed net access) or their behavior doesn't bother you enough to prevent you from entering a contract with them. Sometimes standing by what you believe in means doing without something you want.

  16. Re:Oryx on Microbial Life Found In Trinidadian Hydrocarbon Lake · · Score: 1

    An Oryx doesn't drink water, but it pees.

    A chicken does drink water, but it doesn't pee.

    Minor nitpick: chickens release urine at the same time as their poop, which is why it's always wet.

  17. Re:Too many? on Woman Claims Wii Fit Caused Persistent Sexual Arousal Syndrome · · Score: 1

    Must just be you... I have to listen to women complaining about having too many orgasms all the time!

    Let me guess, you sell vibrators too.

    -1 Nauseating.

    Depends on your point of view I guess. Personally, I think if you haven't broken furniture at least once you're not doing it right.

    They like men with babies because it means they don't have to do it anymore. Apparently child-birth is a bit inconvenient or something. I don't know. Women eh, always bitching about trivial things.

    I just told everyone my wife was smuggling a watermelon.

    She said dealing with me made dealing with the pregnancy seem a lot easier.

  22. Re:It sure feels odd on Oz Pirate Party Tells the Elderly How To Bypass the Net Filter · · Score: 1

    How about if it was a group of recent divorcees or depressed teenagers?

    This is an extremely cynical way of selling a $75 book, but as you say, freedom of information means for everyone.

    I'm not sure how it works everywhere else, but in the Netherlands you need a psychological evaluation to prove you're mentally fit before they'll consider euthanization. And you need to be suffering from something terminal, like cancer.

    I may be oversimplifying the process, but I knew a few people who were euthanized and I can tell you it's not as simple as just walking into a clinic or hospital and saying you want to die.
