  1. Hitchens had this guy pegged. on Assange Stands 'Real Chance' of Election In Australia · · Score: 1
  2. Stallman in a sentence on Computing Pioneers Share Their First Tech Memories · · Score: 5, Funny

    Ahh, vintage Stallman: Because when all you have is an axe, everything looks like a grindstone.

  3. Wikipedia admins taking over OED? on Internet Abbreviations Added To Oxford Dictionary · · Score: 1

    Was Ben Schumin behind this decision? Anyone know?

  4. Re:Its not the speed that is the problem. on Obama Calling For $53B For High Speed Rail · · Score: 1

    Liar. Acela Express tops out at 150 mph, and averages around 80. They take between 6h30m and 8h to go from Boston to Washington. The normal Amtrak trains are not much slower than that. Go check the listings, read up on Acela before making up facts about it, and stop lying.

  5. Best compliment ever? on Your Feces Is a Wonderland of Viruses · · Score: 1

    I mean seriously, I'm blushing after hearing this good (and, I should note, widely-publicized) review of my feces.

  6. Re:Makes sense on What Scientists Really Think About Religion · · Score: 1
    For an idiot, he sure has whupped you on the complex concept of "using paragraphs". Though, from your posts, you're clearly assuming a sub-third-grade level of comprehension yourself, so I guess I don't blame you for writing as you did. In any case, you missed just about every point he made, seeing as your comebacks had very little to do with said points.

    Your guess may be that he's an idiot. Fortunately, as to your idiocy, you've removed all guesswork.

  7. Same thing on National Academy of Science Urges Carbon Tax · · Score: 0

    Cap and Trade is just a fancy phrase meaning "tax" anyway. I hate the verbal misdirection.

  8. The real question: on Inventor Demonstrates Infinitely Variable Transmission · · Score: 2, Funny

    Does it have the proper amount of SUCTION? /Dyson

  9. Integrated circuit, eh? on MIT Developing Self-Assembling Computer Chips · · Score: 2, Funny

    Does this mean the transistors and the capacitors don't have to drink at different fountains anymore? We've certainly come a long way.

  10. Extra! Extra! Error in article summary! on Scientists "Teleport" Quantum Information One Meter · · Score: 1

    I'm sorry, but I'm fairly certain that the University of Maryland and the University of Michigan are just a little more than one meter apart. I call shenanigans.

  11. Re:Neat, but... on Silverlight 2.0 Released · · Score: 1

    ...call me again when Mono has an implementation.

    I couldn't find your phone number, but here you go -- Mono project's Moonlight, the open source implementation of Silverlight.

    I found his phone number.

  12. Re:A simple capsule that could make CO2 into fuel? on CO2 To Fuel, Closing the "Carbon Loop" · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Genius. If I had mod points, you'd get +one.

  13. No way! on A Look At the Warhammer Community · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    A Look At the Warhammer Community Ooh, do we get to meet both of them?

  14. What doesn't? on Studies Say Ideology Trumps Facts · · Score: 2, Insightful

    These days, is there *anything* that doesn't trump facts?

  15. The obvious counterpunch on Cisco To Buy Jabber · · Score: 1

    Mr. T buys back Jibber to keep Cisco from monopoly.

  16. Only a small fraction of a chapter... on Google's Floating Datahaven · · Score: 1

    A real chapter from a Neal Stephenson novel would have many more obscure references, at least one reference to the protagonist's badassery, and 12-18 other plotlines.

  17. Re:eHarmo-Christian "only" dating site... on Research Finds Carbon Dating Flawed · · Score: 1

    Everybody knows that. So what? Lots of people are Christians, and there are web sites that cater to them. Get over it.

  18. 29 dimensions of carbon compatibility on Research Finds Carbon Dating Flawed · · Score: 5, Funny

    For next-generationcarbon dating, try eCarbony.com

  19. Re:Would that translate well? on A WoW Player's Guide To Warhammer · · Score: 1

    Give me my inhaler back, dickhead.

  20. Re:Nothing to see here shortly... on Google Claims User Content In Multiple Products · · Score: 1

    I didn't say "everywhere". Just elsewhere. And I don't think they're evil; I think they're actually going to try to replicate doing the right thing.

  21. Nothing to see here shortly... on Google Claims User Content In Multiple Products · · Score: 1

    They changed it right quick when there was any uproar over the Chrome ToS. I won't be shocked to see them move quickly to remove the clause elsewhere...

  22. High tech is great, but... on NYT Links Convention Videos, Speech Transcripts · · Score: 1

    Can't they get some better columnists? Maureen Dowd links in their pages are wasting my bandwidth.

  23. Re:Scientific community? on The Flat Earthers Are Still With Us · · Score: 1

    I'll be right over with the world's biggest bag of Doritos, 'cause you must be getting a SERIOUS case of the munchies right about now.

  24. Bring it on on One of the Coolest Places In the Universe · · Score: 5, Funny

    The LHC has nothing on my mom's basement. RIGHT HERE is where it's at, baby. Cool Central.

  25. Re:So... what was wrong with the gun? on GPS Tracking Device Beats Radar Gun in Court · · Score: 2, Informative
    Error at 15 degrees ~ (1 - cos(15d)), so around 3.4%. So the guy has to be going over 1,000 mph for your "error will exceed 35 mph" figure to be correct...

    If the guy's causing a sonic boom, I suspect the ticket is going to stick. However, your high school physics grade would clearly never stand up in court.
