    Sorry... you lose...

    Scientology is the real poo... and lots of it...

  9. Re:both blocking and unblocking - which wins? on TrapCall Service To Bypass Caller ID Blocking · · Score: 4, Funny

    Hmmm... it suddenly occurs to me that blocking caller id is a lot like the 'Anonymous Coward' option at Slashdot.

  10. Re:Sounds like a good idea to me... on TrapCall Service To Bypass Caller ID Blocking · · Score: 1

    Ouch!

  11. Re:both blocking and unblocking - which wins? on TrapCall Service To Bypass Caller ID Blocking · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I shouldn't have to reveal my number just because the other party wants it

    ...and I shouldn't have to receive/answer anonymous calls just because the calling party wants it that way. As it is I let 'blocked', 'private', or 'unknown' calls bounce to voicemail. If its important enough they can leave a message, and I'll know who is call before I choose to talk to them.

  12. Sounds like a good idea to me... on TrapCall Service To Bypass Caller ID Blocking · · Score: 1

    ... I always felt that blocked calls were the equivalent of someone showing up at your front door with a paper bag (with eye-holes) over their head, and they won't reveal who they were until you answer the door.

    Of course it just may end up generating more business for the SpoofCard....

  13. So people believe in God... on Darwinism Must Die So Evolution Can Live · · Score: 1

    ...because of Darwin? Sounds a little bass-ackwards to me.

  15. Dang... on Sarcasm Useful For Detecting Dementia · · Score: 1

    Then I'm good to go.

  16. Because everyone knows that on Inventor Builds Robot Wife · · Score: 5, Funny

    Building, programming, and maintaining a fully functional female robot is easier and cheaper than understanding the real thing.

  17. Re:I, for one, on Chemical Pollution Is Destroying Masculinity · · Score: 1

    I'd have gone with Soprano Overlords

  18. I for one welcome on Alien Comet May Have Infiltrated the Solar System · · Score: 1

    our new streaking overlords....

    (sounds sorta like the 70's again)

  19. Re:A few thoughts on US Has Been In Recession Since December 2007 · · Score: 1

    As a means for politicans to raise taxes. Ever since Reagan raising taxes has been the kiss of death to a politician, unless its for a crisis. Conservatives have the war on terror. Liberals needed their own crisis to suggest raising taxes over.

  20. Re:A few thoughts on US Has Been In Recession Since December 2007 · · Score: 4, Funny

    As soon as Obama takes office, prepare for the heralds to sing: The recession is over! We are winning in Iraq! Global warming has reversed!

    Obam-ho-tep.... Obam-ho-tep.... Obam-ho-tep.... Obam-ho-tep.... Obam-ho-tep....

  21. Re:A few thoughts on US Has Been In Recession Since December 2007 · · Score: 4, Informative

    The 'Rule of Thumb' definition aside, the NBER decides for itself when a recession occurs or not. James Joyner at OTB has a pretty good post on it. At best the GDP increase provides mixed signals, as the economy isn't doing great. I do agree that all the gloom and doom may be premature. (and could become self fulfilling.)

  22. but will they think to block... on South Carolina Wants To Jam Cell Phone Signals · · Score: 1

    ... the Banana Phone

  23. Jail house blocked on South Carolina Wants To Jam Cell Phone Signals · · Score: 3, Funny
