  1. Re:No it WOULD be good. on World's First Completely Transparent IC · · Score: 0

    Hm, I was merely joking around. And yes, I understand what you're saying - one of my undergrad degrees was in physics. It's very cool stuff.

  2. Solar cells? Uh... on World's First Completely Transparent IC · · Score: 0
    Yes, exactly what we need: a solar cell that actually absorbs *none* of the light that hits it.

    Do the solar cells we have right now suck that badly that a 0% efficient cell would be better?

  3. The New Math on Spam King Busted by Secret Service · · Score: 0

    Wow, that's like 1/24th of an email per customer!

  4. Re:Auther needs to run spell check. on Literacy Limps Into the Kill Zone · · Score: 0

    Boy, your sarcasm/irony detector SUCKS.

  5. Auther needs to run spell check. on Literacy Limps Into the Kill Zone · · Score: 0
    I think he meant "grammer".

    ROFLCOPTER OMGZoR2 IM SO FUNY

  6. A minor quibble... on Google Agrees to Censor Results in China · · Score: 0

    They never said "don't let anyone else be evil." Just "don't be evil."

  7. Price fixing on China to Build World's First "Artificial Sun" · · Score: 0

    I wonder if their use of a devalued dollar and slavelike labor practices are driving the cost down juuuuust a touch? :)

  8. My personal rounding program on Rounding Algorithms · · Score: 5, Funny
    For rounding, I use the following:
    • Mountain Dew
    • Couch
    • Lack of willpower
    • Utter disdain for annual resolutions I made less than a week ago
    • DiGiorno's pizzas.
    Seems to work.
  9. Re:Slower Dimension on Warp Engines In Development? · · Score: 0

    Your finger moves at the speed of light? Cool.

  10. A *real* piracy party... on Swedish Filesharers Start 'The Piracy Party' · · Score: 4, Funny

    ...would be a piracy pARRRRRRRRRRRty.

  11. Re:A security hole? In WINDOWS? on Exploit Released for Unpatched Windows Flaw · · Score: 0
    Dork.

    Goober.

  12. That's nothing... on Ham Hears Mars Orbiter 45 Million Miles From Earth · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Heck, I heard *and* saw Elvis last night after taking $30 worth of bad shrooms.

  13. Let me be the first to say... on New Mammal Species Found in Borneo · · Score: 0, Redundant

    New Mammal Found. France Surrenders.

  14. Re:Religion on Lack of 'Mirror Neurons' Linked to Autism · · Score: 1

    Thinking that most religion is based on the threat of eternal damnation is pathetically ignorant, not to mention utterly unrelated to the ability to empathize and its loose connection to morality.

  15. Viagra for the planet on Failing Ocean Current Raises Fears of Mini Ice Age · · Score: 2, Funny

    What we really need is to keep our albedo levels higher.

  16. Dear Parents... on Blizzard Sued for Death of Gamer · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Your kid is a moron. Please sue either (a) his genetic contributors or (b) the people who raised him poorly enough that he thought that reenacting a jumping scene from a computer game wouldn't result in his death. Anyway, I hope his last sight was looking up at the branches of Teldrassil. I hear it's magnificent this time of year.

  17. Worst versioning system ever on What Workplace Coding Practices Do You Use? · · Score: 1

    We use Accurev. Don't *EVER* use Accurev. It's the worst piece of software I've ever seen written.

  18. Re:Panspermia on Space Lichens · · Score: 1

    I don't think you were sufficiently grossed out by my original post - you seem to have taken it seriously!

  19. Re:Panspermia on Space Lichens · · Score: 1

    For some of us, performance is never a question!

  20. Panspermia on Space Lichens · · Score: 5, Funny

    Sounds like a neat theory, but it'd have to be an absolutely killer climax to have it hit escape velocity. I can't usually get more than 7-8 feet of distance even on a pent-up, high-pressure day.

  21. The Thong Song on Rubik's Cube World Championships · · Score: 1
    I would personally like to thank Jason Thong for competing.

    Thong.

  22. Re:Talk to those that wrote it down? on Vatican Rejects Intelligent Design? · · Score: 1

    Then why did they call Jesus a rabbi?

  23. Re:The Weakness of Men on New Discovery Disproves Quantum Theory? · · Score: 1
    I don't put much stock in the word of a man who can only move diagonally.

    However, when most people refer to creationism these days, at least in the current context, they mean Christian creationism, which is dated back at least to the Qumran scrolls, and I imagine earlier. Furthermore, creationists and I.D. folks are actually at odds at the moment.

    Also, the idea that the earth dates back around 6000 years is mostly from the Jewish tradition and chronology, where they simply added up the years back to Adam (with some substantial handwaving.)

  24. Re:The Weakness of Men on New Discovery Disproves Quantum Theory? · · Score: 1
    Creationism is not founded on this method--it is founded on discomfort with the results of correct application of this method.

    You moron. Creationism is founded on what some people consider to be a sacred text. Given that it antedates evolutionary theory by thousands of years, there is only one possible conclusion:

    You're just another /. moron who talks smarter than he actually is.

  25. Re:Mod patent down on New Bill Threatens to Plug "Analog Hole" · · Score: 3, Funny

    Yeah. There are too many patents anyway.
