  1. let me guess on DIY Biochemical Scanner From a Hacked CD Drive · · Score: 5, Funny

    Let me guess.... MacGyver happened to haev a paper clip and a rubber band beside the computer.

  2. Re:err, system call wrapper runs with kernel privs on Attacking Multicore CPUs · · Score: 0

    I don't know what you said, but you used some mighty fancy words there. Better mod it up, just to look smart. (and this is how the story got through in the first place...)

  3. Myth as a function os intelligence on Why Myths Persist · · Score: 0

    I always love how we get a story like this, right after a story about how x% of Americans can't find their on (country, state, city) on a map. The masses are ignorant, why is this surprising? Intelligence is what makes us human, but brute strength and quick feet are what allowed us to survive. We evolved to see these traits as more desirable - it's not really surprising that the same ones who have trouble with philosophy and higher physics are almost invariably the same ones who remember the "big football game" as their best memory of childhood.

    Send more Chuck Berry!

  5. Re:Yay tax dollars! on NASA To Send Luke's Lightsaber Into Space · · Score: 0

    Yeah, well, you'll be glad it's there when the Russians challenge them to a duel over that bottomless pit in the station's core.

  6. Re:Okay... on Mark Russinovich On Vista Network Slowdown · · Score: 2, Funny

    Stop living in the past! Sure you can put your old "XP" records on the jukebox, grandpa, but this is 2007! It's the future man! Now I'm off to take the flying car to dinosaur island!

  7. Re:So? We finally get to see... on NASA to Digitize its 50 Years of Photos and Films · · Score: 1, Funny

    You've got it all wrong, man. The Americans went to the moon, right. But they were beaten by the Nazis. They got up there and found Adolf and his third Reich buddies who shot Kennedy from behind the knoll.

  8. Re:A Low tech solution on Aids For Communicating With Hospitalized People? · · Score: 5, Funny

    "She keeps telling me 'no', and always with the same finger"

  9. Re:chair? on Security Top Concern for New IETF Chair · · Score: 0

    Ah yes: the ultimate security feature.

  10. chair? on Security Top Concern for New IETF Chair · · Score: 1, Funny

    I would think legs, cushion, and some sort of drink holder would be the primary concerns for any new chair...

  11. Re:Let me guess... on Former Spammer Reveals Secrets in New Book · · Score: 1, Funny

    The book is not too bad, but it's kind of hard to read since the words constantly vibrate and change color.

  12. Ahh, science. on Nicotine Is the New Wonder Drug · · Score: 0

    Sure, nicotine will save your brain. But if it kills your body before that...

  13. the 50s called on Robots Teach Autistic Kids Social Skills · · Score: 0

    they want their ideas back (alt: isaac asimov called...)

  14. Re:Time Enough for Love on Robert A. Heinlein's 100th Birthday · · Score: 0

    Or time for the Stars - where the main character ends the story - by marrying his cousin.

  15. Re:Doing MS's job for them on Sun Releases ODF Plugin for MS Office · · Score: 5, Funny

    It looks like you're trying to be funny. Would you like some help?

  16. Re:Doing MS's job for them on Sun Releases ODF Plugin for MS Office · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Never had an issue using Rich Text Format. Actually, only use that when I need boldfacing, otherwise ASCII is my weapon of choice.

  17. Re:One mail? on Fresh Security Breaches At Los Alamos · · Score: 0

    Of course, one could argue if secure/classified information should be sent over an inherently insecure network. Is this not why VPN was developed?

  18. Re:Computer Failure... on ISS Computer Failure · · Score: 0

    And why does it sound like Pierce Brosnan all of a sudden?

  19. Re:Slow News Day? on Linux System Administration · · Score: 0

    Funny thing, you don't *have* to click on every link if they don't interest you. Stuff that matetrs - not exclusively to you.

  20. Re:Swipe at Yale University on Star Wars Takes Over Harvard Commencement · · Score: 0

    Harvard taking shots at Yale? Why, I never! (monocle drops)

  21. Re:Sound, you say... on Turning Heat Into Sound Into Electricity · · Score: 0

    Finally, a use for the windows startup sounds!

  22. Re:oh noes! on Concerns Over Microsoft's Internet User Profiling · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I thought Asia was nothing but 13 year old girls?

  23. Re:Official "In Soviet Russia..." thread on Putin Threatens US Missile Bases In Europe · · Score: 0

    In Soviet Union, discussion board is for intelligent posters only!

  24. Re:UFO Bases! on Wreck of Australian Warship HMAS Sydney Found? · · Score: 0

    The UFO bases were on Mars IIRC. You are looking for the Deep Ones :)

  25. Re:is their verbal skills on Boys with Longer Ring Fingers are Better at Math · · Score: 0

    I don't know what you mean, that's a perfectly cromulent phrasing.
