  1. Apple and stolen iPods on Thieves Clear Out NJ Apple Store In 31 Seconds · · Score: 0

    Apple will know as soon as any of those iPods touches iTunes. What, are the crooks going to sit on them until the statute of limitations is up? So, nice execution, poor planning. Of course, maybe they saw that new report where Apple doesn't really want to help you get back your stolen iPod... cause then you won't buy another.

  2. Re:No demand on Wearable Computer With Lightweight HUD · · Score: 1

    Quick, somebody mod this +5 unintentionally ironic for schooling some one for being insulting when replying to his insulting comment.

  3. Re:Surely he isn't biased... on WikiLeaks' Daniel Schmitt Speaks · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The number of examples are endless...

    Actually, I think you mean the number of hypothetical scenarios are endless. Examples would be things that have actually occurred. Do you have any of those?

  4. Re:Bad move on Comic Artist Detained For Script Containing 9/11 Type Scenarios · · Score: 1

    Are you sure? Oh wait, you work for Minitrue?

  5. Re:The way math is structured is disconnected from on A Mathematician's Lament — an Indictment of US Math Education · · Score: 1

    Dude! Three is one of the few symbols that doesn't hide that it is made of three ones. Look how many end points it has, 1, 2, 3. Not like that bastard 7, now that one is sneaky.

  6. brothels? on A Black Day For Internet Freedom In Germany · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Wait, what? Legal brothels are okay but internet smut is a bridge too far?

  7. Doomed to fail... on Senate Bill Calls For Open Source Electronic Health Records · · Score: 2, Funny

    as Microsoft just announced Doctor's Office 2009.

  8. Wile E. Coyote, super genius on Sophisticated Balloons Could Help Steer Spacecraft · · Score: 0

    So basically it's an anchor, but they call it a ballute to prevent people from freaking out about an anchor from outerspace landing on them?

  9. Not a team player: Josh or the author on Are Quirky Developers Brilliant Or Dangerous? · · Score: 1

    A manager goes to talk to another manager's employee without first talking to the employee's manager. Add to that an employee with which the author clearly had many issues, ie dress, deportment, hygiene.

    The talk, that the author can't recall, possibly with shame, a talk that deteriorates to the point that "Josh" quits and never comes back?

    Sounds like maybe "Josh" wasn't the only one that wasn't a team player.

  10. Re:The amount of money.... on US House Kills Proposed Delay For Digital TV Transition · · Score: 1

    You must be too young to have been around for Hurricane Katrina or Hurricane Wilma, which is the one that knocked out my internet connection for several weeks. The little battery operated portable tv still worked during the height of the storm though.

  11. Re:Some other examples on Daemon · · Score: 2, Informative

    Cuckoo's Egg wasn't fiction.

  12. Re:Sorry Motorola on RIM Accuses Motorola of Blocking Job Offers · · Score: 1

    Two children, but no health insurance? That doesn't sound right.

  13. Re:Do they run vista? on Ethical Killing Machines · · Score: 3, Funny

    Except one dimensional, bread obsessed talking toasters.

  14. Re:Slide rules on Where Have All the Pagers Gone? · · Score: 1

    "Seriously, sir. 'No silicon heaven'? Where would all of the calculators go?" --Kryten

  15. Re:Congress on How We Used To Vote · · Score: 1

    They already edit the congressional record. What would be the point of secret ballots?

  16. Band aid on Bill To Add Accountability To Border Laptop Search · · Score: 1

    Great, cause adding "accountability" is TOTALLY equal to the loss of rights.

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

    Two words: Jiffy POP.

  18. Alt key? on Review of Das Keyboard · · Score: 1

    In the pictures, the alt key is next to the space bar where it belongs. Where did you want them to put it?

  19. Lawyers on GPLv3's Implications Hitting Home For Lawyers · · Score: 1

    Trust a lawyer to spend three pages to only hint at, but never actually come out and say, "Don't steal shit."

  20. Re:60 T is pretty strong on New Superconductor Found "Immune To Magnetism" · · Score: 1

    Three words... Frog-a-pult of DEATH!

  21. Re:The sad thing... on Private Donor Saves Fermilab · · Score: 1

    ...but not enough to attend a university - for that he'd have to get an Abitur, which means another two years of school. If he goes straight for the Abitur he just has to do twelve years of school in total. You do know that HS diploma in the US includes 12 years of school, right? In the US there aren't diplomas awarded for 9th and 10th.

    rolled a natural 20.

  23. Re:Doesn't really matter on MacBook Air's Battery is Actually Easy to Replace · · Score: 1

    Not about a Mac, but I've had HP laptops that were so locked up, that holding down the power switch for two minutes did NOTHING.

  24. Re:Not Quite on Startrek.com Shutting Down · · Score: 1

    Dissolved implies that the team was absorb into other parts of the corporation. Eliminate implies that the team was fired or laid off.

  25. Title on Will Wright Opines That Wii Is the Only Next-Gen Console · · Score: 1

    CLEARLY this should have been titled "Wii Wins Writes Will Wright".
