  1. Re:Let's just kill everyone first, then we win on New Russian Weapon Hides In Shipping Container · · Score: 1

    The funny thing is, your enemies will always be people disagreeable to you, and if you refuse to negotiate with those disagreeable, you will never negotiate and will always be at war. Is this the state you prefer?

  2. Give me an f-ing break on AMD Readies "Lottery-Core" CPUs · · Score: 4, Informative

    Stop with the April fools posts already!

  3. Re:A Christian's take on Texas Textbooks Battle Is Actually an American War · · Score: 1

    "After all, the initial singularity from which the universe sprung had to come from somewhere." Exactly. And so did your god.

  4. Oxymoron on How Do You Accurately Estimate Programming Time? · · Score: 1

    'Accurate' and 'estimate' do not go together well, an estimate is not accurate.

  5. This is wonderful! on Laser Fusion Passes Major Hurdle · · Score: 4, Funny

    Now fusion energy is only 10 years away!

  6. Re:This proves one thing on Secret Copyright Treaty Leaks. It's Bad. Very Bad. · · Score: 1

    This proves nothing. Except to those that don't understand the nature of proof.

  7. Re:People who write in textbooks... on In Trial, Kindles Disappointing University Users · · Score: 1

    Like that fool Fermat who posited a solution to a problem that occupied mathematicians for hundreds of years.

    If you don't like the notes stop buying used text books.

  8. This hust in: Constitution now considered secret on FBI Files a "Secret Justification" For Gag Order · · Score: 1

    You can no longer quote it. If you have a copy you must turn it in. The FBI will notify you of your rights when they think it is appropriate

  9. Here's a good joke on Pictures of Kuril Islands Volcano From ISS · · Score: 1

    The first two images in the story are exactly the same, just rotated on a diagonal line going from the lower left corner to the upper right corner. So much for "the eruption continues unabated"!

  10. Don't forget dBASE on Borland Being Purchased By Micro Focus · · Score: 1

    Buying Ashton-Tate, maker of dBASE, was their downfall. Huge outlay and the migration to windows was a massive failure.

  11. Failed its mission? Idiot! on NASA's Orbiting Carbon Observatory Mission Fails · · Score: 1

    It didn't fail its mission, it failed its launch. If its mission was to launch then it failed its mission. However, its mission was to monitor CO2, which it never got a chance to begin.

  12. Re:Don't take freedom for granted on Wiretap Whistleblower, a Life in Limbo? · · Score: 5, Interesting

    It should not be possible to classify illegal government activity. This man took a chance to protect my freedom and yours, if you don't respect that then I have to ask: why do you hate America's freedoms?

  13. This is good news for the church on Search For the Tomb of Copernicus Reaches an End · · Score: 5, Funny

    Now they can properly burn him at the stake for his heresy.

  14. Re:No surprise on Press Favored Obama Throughout Campaign · · Score: 1

    If dredging up that old, stupid comment is the best you can do, no wonder the right lost.

  15. Having stopped watching tv for a while on Inventor Open Sources "TV-B-Gone," and Why · · Score: 4, Insightful

    what I find is that they are mesmerizing. When I walk into a room with a tv on I feel the pull to look at it, as well as notice that everyone is looking at the tv like it had hyptonized them. It is much like a drug. Turning the tv off is more about breaking it's inevitable grasp on everyone's attention for at least a short time, so people look up and look around once in a while. It's not like you break the tv, it can be turned back on, and probably will be in short order.

  16. Re:Shh! Don't tell McCain! He'll go POW on you! on Inside the World's Most Advanced Planetarium · · Score: 1

    Don't want people to know where your candidate stands? Then maybe you should admit that your candidate is an ignorant fool.

  17. Re:Reach for the switch... on New Contestants On the Turing Test · · Score: 1

    So the parent of my post says this is stupid, anybody the believes it is an idiot, and you say that it is obvious, only an idiot doesn't believe it. Yep, business as usual.

  18. Re:Reach for the switch... on New Contestants On the Turing Test · · Score: 2, Interesting

    "A machine is a machine regardless of what it appears to be."

    Except some think that people are just chemical machines brought about by evolution.

  19. Re:Capitalism is dying, netcraft confirms, news at on Unemployment Hits New High In Silicon Valley · · Score: 2, Insightful

    What, because someone doesn't want to work themselves to death they must be living off your teat? What an ass.

    By the way, parent didn't make a marxist rant, they said 'insert marxist rant here', perhaps you should read more slowly. Also, I don't owe you a living just because you can't read accurately.

  20. Re:That's pretty damning for the CIA and Bush admi on 10 Years of Translated Bin Laden Messages Leaked · · Score: 1

    Saddam did not pull those weapons out of his ass, mostly he got them from US! Since the enablers in this country should be easy to find and prosecute, why have they gotten off the hook? After all, as suppiers they are essentially as guilty as Saddam. As someone once said "pluck the beam from your own eye before worrying about the splinter in your neighbors". And, the enablers of Saddam have enabled similar atrocities all over the world, so some might consider them even more guilty than Saddam. Yet they walk free. As long as you keep pointing the finger at Saddam and ignore the criminals in this country you are just an enabler yourself.

  21. Re:Is that... on SpaceX Gets Operational License For Cape Canaveral · · Score: 1

    Windows picture and fax viewer allows you to zoom, and yes it is a worker riding on an extension on the side. My guess is the placement on the truck wasn't exactly dead center, and the worker is compensating with his weight.

  22. Was it found in on Oldest Skeleton In New World Discovered · · Score: 1

    the oldest closet in the world?

  23. Re:I know I know! on How Can Nerds Make a Difference In November? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    How far we have fallen.

  24. Re:dumb people lose money, not freedom on Jail 'Greedy' Scam Victims, Says Nigerian Diplomat · · Score: 1

    I've always wondered, where did the fool get his money to begin with?

  25. Re:Nothing will happen on Hacker Uncovers Chinese Olympic Fraud · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Does it matter? Only if playing by the rules matters. Would you like to train for something for years, only to be beaten by a cheater?
