    North Carolina Police Officers Association.

    They called me to ask for money. I live in California.

  2. Re:Physicists are weirder than astronomers on New Particle Found, the Bottom-Most Bottomonium · · Score: 4, Informative

    Not only did Gell-Mann like the sound of the word, but it was also because they came in triplets. The line from Joyce is "Three quarks for Muster Mark"

  3. Re:Nano materials occur in nature, on Nanomaterials More Dangerous Than We Think · · Score: 1

    I thought it was "pneumoultramicroscopicvolcanosilicosis".

  4. Re:Wait... on Mother Sues After Bebo Story Hits Press · · Score: 1

    Ask Copiepresse or the AP* about it.

    Please see the Fourth, Ninth, and Tenth Amendments.

  6. Re:How come? on Nasa Details Shuttle's Retirement · · Score: 1

    Isn't Shenzou VII supposed to launch this year or early next year? I believe the mission is supposed to include a spacewalk.

  7. Re:Cheap New Space Stations on Nasa Details Shuttle's Retirement · · Score: 1

    Kim Stanley Robinson called. He wants his idea back.

  8. Re:The complete Heinlein juvenile list: on Sci-Fi Books For Pre-Teens? · · Score: 1

    The Future History anthology ("The Past Through Tomorrow") is very good for this age as well.

    I read "Time Enough for Love" at 13, but it's a bit mature for pre-teens.

  9. Tom Swift on Sci-Fi Books For Pre-Teens? · · Score: 1

    If you can find them, the Tom Swift Jr. series was great for me at ages 8-11.

    Is there a new Victor Appleton III (yeah, I know it was a pen name)?

  10. Re:Nobody wants to be the next GM on Mercedes To Phase Out Gasoline By 2015 · · Score: 1

    Look for the CEO of Daimler-Chrysler (DCX).

    Nobody makes jokes in Base 13!

  12. Re:Marko DeBeeste on Larrabee Based On a Bundle of Old Pentium Chips · · Score: 3, Informative

    I can't believe it took this long for someone to find the "Get Smart!" reference.

    Would you believe.... 39 posts?
    How about 20?

    How about one FRIST POST and an In Soviet Russia?

  13. Re:Jury Nullification on User Charged With Felony For Using Fake Name On MySpace · · Score: 2, Informative

    In the case of a criminal acquittal, they can't. Double Jeopardy would apply.

  14. Re:Browser-based OS on The Next Browser Scripting Language Is — C? · · Score: 5, Funny

    So it's browsers all the way down?

  15. Re:Since 1986... on Ray Gun Puts Voices Inside Your Head · · Score: 1

    Once the Dream Police are gone, you need to worry about the lunatic on the grass!

    "There's someone in my head and it's not me..."

  16. Re:Ha! See! I told you! on Ray Gun Puts Voices Inside Your Head · · Score: 1

    Well, then, you need to listen to Robert Smith of The Cure (maybe with Leonard Maltin and Sidney Poitier helping him).

  17. Re:Death of Yahoo on Microsoft Going After Yahoo! Again · · Score: 1

    just to see Microsofts faces when every single user jumps ship to Google instead

    There are those who are using AT&T DSL, which is hosted through Yahoo!. Harder for those guys to jump ship.

  18. Re:Web presence? on How to Fight Name Scraping Scammers? · · Score: 1

    Yeah, my wife got that fourth of july spam, the one that was a death threat... It was personalized to her name, and she doesn't post anywhere, just surfs and reads.

  19. Re:Web presence? on How to Fight Name Scraping Scammers? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I had the same question. I've been actively trying to *REDUCE* my web presence, at least with my real name and email.

  20. Re:I certainly won't be looking on AVG Backs Down From Flooding the Internet · · Score: 1

    OK. All I know is Comodo Firewall wouldn't work on my system. When researching the crash, I found others who had similar problems.

    Obviously it works for you guys. Glad for you. It sucked for me. Others' mileage may vary.

  21. Re:I certainly won't be looking on AVG Backs Down From Flooding the Internet · · Score: 2, Interesting

    For those of us using Win2K until it's pried out of our cold, dead CPUs, not a choice. Comodo BSODs on Win2K. In fact, after trying Comodo (and I couldn't find anything that said 2K was a bad idea), my system was so borked that I had to reinstall for the first time in 7 years.

  22. Re:Seriously? on In Japan, a 900 Gigabyte Upload Cap, Downloads Uncapped · · Score: 4, Funny

    Note to all future submitters and to the editors.

    From now on, please add *lt;SARCASM> tags for the sarcasm-impaired.

    Thank you.

  23. Re:Convincing one of safety of small vehicles. on VW Concept Microcar Gets 235 MPG · · Score: 1

    Ditto. Was buying a car yesterday, and the salesperson told me that he had a guy come in with an Expedition, and traded it in on a Kia. He said he can't find anyone to buy the Expedition.

  24. Re:No Problem on VW Concept Microcar Gets 235 MPG · · Score: 1

    Yeah, because every place that needs deliveries has its own private train stop.

  25. Re:What? on Arecibo Observatory Facing Massive Budget Cuts · · Score: 1

    Additionally, knowing that a sudden, shock explosion was due to a natural occurrence rather than a terrorist or "rogue state" could help prevent WWII being touched off...

    1939 called. You're almost 70 years too late.
