  1. On to the next challenge on World's Oldest Puzzle Solved · · Score: 1
    It will apparently take close to 400 more years before someone solves the Loculus of Borg.

    Wait -- I've just been informed that it's actually Locutus (with a t) and definitely not a puzzle. Never mind then. We'll not even concern ourselves with that.

  2. As a parent... on The Worst Jobs in Science · · Score: 4, Funny

    ...I have to wholeheartedly agree with their icon choice for "psychological torture." There are some things you can learn to block out - Barney is not one of them.

  3. Remember, not all Flash is for the Web on Longhorn's Flash Killer? · · Score: 1

    I've been using Flash as a more general-purpose multimedia authoring app for mostly offline stuff for over two years now. Even if you take Macromedia's Flash market share on the Web down to 0, it'll still be a pretty powerful sub-$500 Windows/Mac multimedia publishing program, which might not be a bad fallback niche even under a worst case scenario.

  4. The impossible has been accomplished... on Chinese Experiment Creates Three-Parent Fetuses · · Score: 3, Funny

    ...a 2 woman/1 man threesome actually sounds unappealing in this context.

  5. Re:The Last Starfighter on Movie Landmarks for CGI Effects? · · Score: 1

    "Invaders from Mrs"

    You mean the in-laws?

  6. Damn Charlie's Angels on Full Throttle Sequel Cancelled · · Score: 3, Funny

    That crappy movie is ruining it for all the other Full Throttles out there.

  7. One down, one to go... on Microsoft Kills Off Mac IE, Blames Safari · · Score: 5, Funny

    Now if they'd only do the same for the Windows version of IE...

  8. Re:Ahh memories... on The Disappearance of Saturday Morning · · Score: 1
    "Dennis wasn't a mennace [sic] at all, Mr. Wilson is just an asshole."

    I've got my new sig.

  9. An idea long overdue on Launching Gutenberg Radio - Public Domain Audiobooks · · Score: 2, Funny

    Man, I hope they do justice to Police Academy, Short Circuit, Cocoon, and Three Men and a Baby. I think those Gutenberg classics will be fabulous as audiobooks.

  10. "Suddenly" actually does mean suddenly here on Hubble Chronicles Mysterious Outburst · · Score: 3, Interesting
    The star, named V838 Monocerotis, has suddenly grown so big...

    While I was RTFA, I pretty much expected that this "sudden" event would be revealed as sudden only when measured in geologic or cosmic time; say, a few thousand millenia or so. The fact that this happened over only a few months is fascinating.

  11. Not ALL 'Books affected on 10.2.4 Killing Battery Life · · Score: 5, Informative

    The /. summary makes it sound like all Power/iBooks are experiencing battery drainage after updating to 10.2.4 - my 2002 600 mHz iBook updated just fine, and battery life is the same.

  12. Bloody Socket on Your Most Damage-Resistant Hardware? · · Score: 1

    I was working inside my PC, banging my fingers around and enduring the usual nicks and scrapes. While putting a HD in the case, I noticed that one of the cuts on my hand had been bleeding pretty profusely into the CPU socket. Let it dry, chipped off what I could, plugged in the CPU...and it worked. That was two years ago, and still chugging away. Tyan mobo fan for life.

  13. You forgot D) on Rand Expert Says To Keep Mum About Killer Asteroids · · Score: 1

    D) Profit!

  14. Re:The poor children heard urinal cake humor. on TiVo switches off UK sales · · Score: 2, Funny

    Mmmmm...urinal cakes...
