  1. Polytheism on Fermilab Experiment Hints At Multiple Higgs Particles · · Score: 4, Funny

    So if the Higgs particle is the 'God particle', does this mean that polytheism is the way to go? Yay Hinduism?

  2. Re:Logitech on Consumer Webcams With High-Quality Sensors? · · Score: 1

    I second that. Logitech QuickCam Pro 9000 is pretty darn good and reasonably priced.

  3. Re:Damnit! on Parrots Can Dance · · Score: 1

    Until a parrot can beat you at kickboxing I think you're safe.

  4. Another law on Swedish ISP Deletes Customer ID Info · · Score: 5, Informative

    They are actually claiming to follow another law from 2003 called the Swedish Electronic Communications law. It states that traffic information should be deleted or anonymized when it is no longer needed to transmit the electronic message.

  5. Re:You don't have to... on Big Blue Designing Chip to Decode the Big Bang · · Score: 1

    Big Bang is just one of many cosmologic theories. Yeah, and remember that it's _just_ a theory!

    (Yes, I'm joking)
  6. Re:Lies, damn lies - and statistics on Internet Only 1% Porn · · Score: 1

    42% of all statistics are made up.

    Why GSM and not 3G?

    Yeah, soon all americans will be eating freedom meatballs while watching the freedom chef on the muppet show.

  10. Re:Unix programs on windows? on Microsoft Confirms 6 Versions of Vista · · Score: 1

    I guess they are refering to Posix, and it's the source code that's "unchanged".
    Windows has had limited Posix compability since NT.

  11. Re:RIAA's investigative methods on RIAA Sues Woman Who Has Never Used a Computer · · Score: 1

    It would have been a hell of a lot funnier if it wasn't true.

  12. Serve yourself! on A Webserver on Your Cellphone? · · Score: 2, Funny

    It could be interesting to use this to serve pages to the phone's own browser, to allow off-line browsing for phones who have no such function.

  13. Re:Ombudsman? on Washington Post Shuts Down Blog · · Score: 1

    Actually, "ombudsman" is a swedish word meaning "representative".

  14. Re:That's all the *confirmed* *economic* reserves. on Europe Warms to Nuclear Power · · Score: 1

    4. Solar cells have a relativly short life span.
    5. Since they are packed with heavy metals they are expensive and energy consuming to recycle.

  15. Re:Keep reeding... on Europe Warms to Nuclear Power · · Score: 1

    In short, breeder reactors need an external neutron source for sustaining fission. This is because U-238 fission only releases one neutron, where U-235 releases two which is needed to keep a chain reaction going.

  16. Keep reeding... on Europe Warms to Nuclear Power · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Keep reeding that wikipedia article. Newer breeder reactors use U-238 instead of U-235. That's enough Uranium for thousands of years, even calculating the ever increasing power demands.
    As a bonus, breeder reactors are much safer since the core can't achieve cain reaction on it's own and therefore can't cause a melt down.

  17. Nice try... on Military Device Will Sense Through Concrete Walls · · Score: 2, Funny

    ... but can it see through my tin foiled walls?

  18. Re:Two questions: on Swedish Filesharers Start 'The Piracy Party' · · Score: 1

    Don't play God!

    Why not? He/she's doing such a crapy job anyway.

  20. Re:No, it's PARENTING! on Federal Judge Rules Against Intelligent Design · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I think it's a differense between saying "Treat others as you want others to treat you." and "2000 years ago the son of God walked the earth as a hippie carpenter, therefore you should think/do/believe so and so."

  21. Re:All good until... on Austrian Town Sees the Light · · Score: 5, Insightful

    This is in Europe, not USA. You can't sue the pants of anyone here, especially not for your own stupidity.

    If you crash your car into a tree, did that tree "attack" you?

    If you crash your car when driving over ice, did that ice "attack" you?

    If you drive your car off a bridge and into a lake, did that lake "attack" you?


    Yes, yes and yes. At least that's what I'm telling my insurance company.
