  1. What about womp rats? on Foodtubes Proposes Underground, Physical Internet · · Score: 1

    They're not much bigger than two meters

  2. At least it's a worthy upgrade on For Firefox 4, You'll Need To Wait Until 2011 · · Score: 1

    I don't mind waiting for FF, because it comes with a lot of versions. Unlike Chrome, which changes their version up an entire whole number every 11 minutes.

  3. these students need support! on School Children Are Now Too Fat to Fit In Class Chairs · · Score: 1

    "We have a number of initiatives to support school communities". Looks like they'll need some more if they want to support these students weighty dilemma.

  4. Uhhum.. for some of us this is old news. on School Children Are Now Too Fat to Fit In Class Chairs · · Score: 1

    Glad they are fixing the real problem by ordering some chunky desks.

  5. She's got RSS feeds? on Pay Or Else, News Site Threatens · · Score: 1

    Am I only allowed to get one news post on my RSS before they shut me down?

  6. That load of crap == fart apps on Monkey Island Creator Slams Corporate Control Over Game Publishing · · Score: 1

    "Apple apologists say that Apple needs this control to maintain the "specialness" of the device. I say that's a load of crap" That load of crap == fart apps

  7. Previous Record Holder on Black Hole Emits a 1,000-Light-Year-Wide Gas Bubble · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    The previous record holder for a gas bubble discharge was the Poet Master Grunthos the Flatulent. This was done over a seven hour period while reciting his award-winning poem, "Ode to a Small Lump of Green Putty I Found in My Armpit One Midsummer Morning."

  8. It takes them six weeks to check for Pandaren? on Blizzard Awaits China's Approval For WoW Relaunch · · Score: 1

    I mean, what other Chinese laws is Blizzard afraid of breaking except for panda violence?

  9. Here are a few sites you might want to vist on Freelance Web Developer Best Practices? · · Score: 1
  10. Re:Vs. Mootools? on jQuery in Action · · Score: 2, Interesting

    That's pretty sad since that they extended upon Yahoo's JavaScript library, YUI. That's how they got the Ext name.

  11. Re:Author's Name?? on jQuery in Action · · Score: 1

    What about Bear Grylls? He served three years with the Special Air Service, a special forces unit of the British army. During his service, he broke his back in three places in a parachuting accident over Southern Africa and still hiked ten miles on his fingertips all the way to Paris, France. He has drank his own pee and eaten about 100 species in situations of life or death survival. I don't think he'd look kindly at you saying he's a chicken.

  12. Re:Vs. Mootools? on jQuery in Action · · Score: 4, Informative

    I might use ext for an intranet project, but it seems to be a big pain on doing things the way I want to put them together. It's annoying to have so much formatting in JSON where if you miss a comma somewhere, the page doesn't even render let alone handle the error. I think the core of a good JS library is a great, fast CSS selector model and extensive plugin support. JQuery helps me write clean, easily readable code that almost always is reusable in a different situation.

  13. Re:Open Beta? on Warhammer Online Open Beta To Begin September 7th · · Score: 1

    How can it be called an "open beta" when you have to basically purchase the game?

    It can be, if you're open to purchasing the game. :)

  14. Re:Major Plotholes ... Spoiler Alert on Batman Discussion · · Score: 1

    1. Since he's not superman, he probably took the stairs. Also note nobody went to the bathroom during the movie, but I assume they might have done so offscreen. 2. Well, even if the Joker told the truth, he obviously knew the situation because he asked Batman to chose between the two. Since joker pretty much held all the cards (pardon the pun), I'm sure this was part of his plan from the beginning. Both for it to happen and for him to have a convenient alabi.

  15. Re:Decentralized? No servers? No trackers? on P2P BitTorrent Tool Could Replace Pirate Bay · · Score: 1

    That's what I mean. As soon as you have a way to find one of the nodes, say a list somewhere, those easy to find nodes become a defacto "server" and they end up being the ones that get the legal pressure.

  16. Decentralized? No servers? No trackers? on P2P BitTorrent Tool Could Replace Pirate Bay · · Score: 3, Interesting

    We had applications like this previously to bittorrent that did not list files, and one of the big golden opportunities of not maintaining a file catalog was that you didn't really have the possibility of you having illegal content on it, it was just like downloading. You don't see companies like Microsoft or Mozilla getting pressure about the fact that people download copyrighted files there. Decentralized? As in no servers, no directories and no trackers for files? How do the individual nodes find each other? If you have something where nodes pass their knowledge of other nodes along (the longer you are connected, the more nodes you might potentially learn about) that could be interesting. But how can you have something totally decentralized? Can discovery truly work on a whole-internet-sized scale?

  17. Uh, it makes IE faster? on Comcast Offers 50 Mbps Residential Speeds · · Score: 1

    Wow, this spyware installs so quick it's almost like a desktop virus!

  18. mod parent up! on Comcast Says FCC Powerless to Stop P2P Blocking · · Score: 2, Funny

    If I had mod points, you'd get them.

  19. Patrick Duffy! on Japan's Unique Cow/Whale Hybrid Experiments · · Score: 1

    What about a monster that has a piece of celery for one of his hands and one of his legs is replaced with Patrick Duffy! Maybe he could weave wicker baskets as a hobby.

  20. Isn't this how Cloverfield started? on Japan's Unique Cow/Whale Hybrid Experiments · · Score: 5, Funny

    It looked like a cow whale to me.

  21. Re:Mistargeted law suit? on Alaskan Village Sues Over Global Warming · · Score: 1

    If I were them, I'd move to someplace where melting sea ice wasn't an issue. Hmm, somewhere warm and coastal. How about New Orleans?

  22. Children Create Pedophiles! on Internet "Creates Pedophiles" According to "Expert" · · Score: 1

    Why don't we get to the real issue here. If we didn't have any children, there wouldn't be any pedophiles.

  23. Re:Am I too late... on Is XMPP the 'Next Big Thing' · · Score: 1

    Ex-emp?

  24. Script to upload them to HotOrNot on MySpace Private Pictures Leak · · Score: 5, Funny

    Somebody is going to write it.

  25. Looks like Jesus finally jumped the shark. on New Findings Confirm Darwin's Theory — Evolution Not Random · · Score: 1
