  1. Re:Of course not! on Tunisian Gov't Spies On Facebook; Does the US? · · Score: 1

    I saw the word "Texa's" on a sign at a farmer's market once-- extreme even for a greengrocer.

  2. Encryption? on Wireless GeForce Graphics Card Announced · · Score: 5, Funny

    I don't see anything about encryption. Are you supposed to broadcast your donkey porn to the neighbor in the open?

  3. Re:It works on unicorn semen on Universities Collaborate On Air-Purifying Dress · · Score: 1

    Huffington post, reading an article by Helen Thomas. With a picture on the byline. *shudder*

  4. Lack of info on Universities Collaborate On Air-Purifying Dress · · Score: 1

    I read the article, but found nothing about exactly which pollutants it's supposed to affect.

  5. Re:Bait & switch on T-Mobile Slashes Fair Use Policy, Says Download At Home · · Score: 0

    You have to be non-white or, ironically, very poor and have kids. This has been going on since 1999, when FM was pressured to give loans to ""low-income people". You heard it: give houses to poor people. Here come the down-mods...

  6. Re:The economic aspects of Rome are more complex on Hank Chien Reclaims Donkey Kong High Score · · Score: 1

    You are correct. Many of the long-term senators who never seem to lose an election have their own companies and fail to pay their taxes. I would like to cite examples from both parties, but unfortunately it seems that only Democrats have been implicated recently.

  7. Re:This why Rome fell on Hank Chien Reclaims Donkey Kong High Score · · Score: 1

    Contrary to popular belief, primitive people have plenty of free time and don't spend all day hunting animals and running away from animals. They just don't have awesome games like Donkey Kong to fill their time. They have to do boring stuff like sing songs and make babies.

  8. Re:"A history of defending Internet freedom" on Anonymous Organizes Global Protests For WikiLeaks · · Score: 1

    Apparently, also
    c) The mods like you

    Actually, I'm the guy who hacked your laptop, and unfortunately for me I turned on your webcam yesterday. Please also put on underwear.

  10. Re:not really a surprise... on Hospital Wireless Networks May Be Regulated Medical Devices · · Score: 1

    No, no. This is HIPPA, which is the standard set specifically for the use of malnourished Hungarian patients. You know: Hungry Hungary HIPPA!

  11. Re:Good? on Hospital Wireless Networks May Be Regulated Medical Devices · · Score: 1

    I'll bet some don't even HAVE heat sinks.

  12. Tax rate on Plan To Tax Romanian Witches Draws Curses · · Score: 1

    The tax rate is only 16%. I'm moving there and opening up a palm-reading parlor!

  13. Re:I have a better idea on New Laser Makes Pirates Wish They Wore Eye-Patches · · Score: 1

    OK, before the history major smacks me down, it did take a second effort years later.

  14. This will never work on Disempowering the Singular Sysadmin? · · Score: 1

    Only the largest companies are willing to actually pay for three competent admins... and now all three of these guys will have to be on call 24-7 in case any changes need to be made. Great idea!

  15. Re:I have a better idea on New Laser Makes Pirates Wish They Wore Eye-Patches · · Score: 1

    Yeah, when President Jefferson went after the Barbary pirates back in the 19th century it totally didn't work either.

  16. Re:Let's put it up on Wikileaks on Pot Grower's Privacy Challenged · · Score: 1

    Can't. The president says we all have to buy health insurance now.

  17. Re:Let's put it up on Wikileaks on Pot Grower's Privacy Challenged · · Score: 1

    Frankly, we shouldn't need a license from the government to do just about anything. But everyone has his agenda.

  18. Re:Im sorry - define Kit on EMC Engineer Steals Almost $1 Million of Kit One Piece at a Time · · Score: 1

    In the USA, a kit is a collection of parts or information used to complete a project. For example, a model airplane kit. I thought I'd point that out as you obviously think that there are no dialects in English.

  19. Re:Im sorry - define Kit on EMC Engineer Steals Almost $1 Million of Kit One Piece at a Time · · Score: 1

    Drinkypoo learned a full complement of British English from PBS by the time he was five; therefore, we should all know the meaning of the colloquialism "kit".

  20. Re:Im sorry - define Kit on EMC Engineer Steals Almost $1 Million of Kit One Piece at a Time · · Score: 2

    The word "equipment" dates back to 1710, so "Americanism" is a poor fit.

  21. Re:Pheremones? on Scientists Find Tears Are the Anti-Viagra · · Score: 1

    What it actually does is trap dead skin cells and bacteria under your armpits where they rot and smell like death, so you have to use even more to cover it up.

    Most deodorants include triclosan, alcohol, and other anti-bacterials, Mr. Stinky-poo.

  22. Re:Pheremones? on Scientists Find Tears Are the Anti-Viagra · · Score: 1

    Deodorant are not natural and are merely masking the human odor. If you think natural odor smell awful, it is only because you are not use to it. Just like puritain are scandalized over the sight of a naked body.

    Questionable analogy there, Chief No-Take-A-Bath.

    That's the reason for the majority of the difference.

    Bullcrap. When I use Monster electrical cords on the lights in my henhouse, the eggs have even RICHER yolks than free-range, plus the hen's clucks sound SILKIER.

    I assume that the other problem is that they're not mammalian? Mammalian-insect hybrids FTW. Milk meeeeeeeeeeeee...
