  1. Monkey corollary on Blizzard Sued for Death of Gamer · · Score: 1

    Monkey See, Monkey Do

    leads to

    Monkey See, Monkey Sue.

  2. Re:What?? on CNN's Game Over On The 360 · · Score: 5, Funny

    How can it not be great with 3 3.2GHz processors?!

    Not to mention the interchangeable faceplates! They make everything look faster...

  3. Re:Their merchandise, their prices on Apple iTunes to End Flat Fee Pricing? · · Score: 1

    Ha! Ha!

    The joke is on them, since I make MY OWN MUSIC!!!1!

    For my own personal enjoyment, too!

  4. personal findings about coffee on Drink Decaf and Die · · Score: 1

    slightly offtopic, but I know this will interest some of you

    being an avid coffee drinker, I was keen to get the freshest, tastiest cup of joe possible.

    eventually I moved on to buying green beans, and roasting them myself.

    doing comparisons with friends (unknowing test subjects), I found out that my own personal brews had a LOT more caffeine than that of the regular coffeeshop fare.

    consequently, I tried to reduce my intake of caffeine by going back to coffeshop coffee, but my withdrawal symptoms have been excruciatingly painful nonetheless.

    hopefully the migraines will stop soon

  5. Re:confused on Lunar 'Lawnmower' Devised for Moon Colonists · · Score: 2, Funny

    Assumptions can turn around and bite you in the ass sometimes... how do you know there aren't any extremophiles buried deep in the lunar underground?

  6. why not route around it? on US Keeps Control of the Internet · · Score: 1

    internet technology isnt exactly secret, so the EU could build their own parallel internet and connect it to the current internet as they see fit...

    can there be such a thing as too much redundancy?

  7. Re:Comparison with wiretap on Canada Unveils Internet Surveillance Legislation · · Score: 1

    CSIS - essentally the Canadian version of the CIA can listen to what it wants - no warents or oversight needed

    CSIS is not the agency you're looking for...

  8. Re:Question: Hybrid + Solar Panel on The Math Behind the Hybrid Hype · · Score: 1

    use a solar panel on top of your bike to use as shade, and for recharging a battery powered electric-assist motor?

  9. stupid cars on The Math Behind the Hybrid Hype · · Score: 1

    The world would be greener if car manufacturers didn't market vehicles with super-powerful engines to everyone and their dog.

    Watch any car tv show. The most common evaluation point is how powerful or not the motor is.

    Smaller motor, best aerodynamics possible = less fuel consumption = greener. Probably cheaper to make and maintain, too.

  10. why on Ask John Smedley About Star Wars Galaxies · · Score: 1

    Why are you only willing to answer ten questions, when the player population is so high and deserves a better coverage of their interests?

  11. Re:Makes sense on IBM And Sony Form Linux Alliance · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Now Sony can make a Linux rootkit too!

    Nah, it's not a rootkit, it's an "Open" Source Protection to make sure that SCO^H^H^Hshameless companies don't impurify our precious bodi^H^H^H^Hcode.

  12. Here's to hoping on Jack Thompson Off Of Alabama Case · · Score: 3, Funny

    that Rockstar parodies him as a character into the next GTA game.

  13. Are there any pirate baiting cruises out there? on Pirates Thwarted by Sonic Weapon · · Score: 1

    I think it'd be hella fun to go on a luxury cruise near Somalia, with an all-you-can-fire bullet deal, and the automatic weapon of your choice.

    I'd take a turrent-mounted M60!

  14. Why stop there on Build Your Own Linux-Based Satellite · · Score: 1

    if someone participating in the project could get access to a coupla pounds of Pu to keep the penguin warm, they could probably build a Linux probe to Kuiper Belt, and beyond!

    Satellites are totally played out.

  15. Re:Talk to those that wrote it down? on Vatican Rejects Intelligent Design? · · Score: 1

    What I find funny is that people on psychedelic drug forums describe talking to invisible and not-so-invisible "beings" all the time, yet you don't see them go out into the world and start exploitative religious movements.

  16. Re:The Animated Series!? on The Ultimate Star Trek Collection · · Score: 1

    they replaced it with
    Star Trek: ???
    and
    Star Trek: Profit!

  17. If major car companies are involved on Engineers Bringing Soap Box Racing Back Again · · Score: 1

    Maybe we'll start seeing them produce cars with an increasingly lower drag coefficient?

    I hope someone can beat the Ford Probe V concept eventually, and actually market it.

  18. I have a sign on Don't Network Administrators Require Privacy? · · Score: 1

    on my cubicle that says "Anyone found breaching my privacy will be prosecuted AND/OR sued under the Privacy Act"

  19. Re:Yahoo Engineers or Yahooligans? on Yahoo Map Engineers Prank Google · · Score: 1

    and it's not that funny of a prank either.

    more like a "ha ha, groan" than a "ROFLCOPTER"

  20. Re:Vaporware until they have real mfg costs on Preview Of The $100 Laptop · · Score: 1

    even with a battery in each laptop... when those laptop die, at one per child in the third world, that's gonna be one massive battery landfill, I tells ya.

  21. I got a totally impracticable solution right here! on Raised Flooring Obsolete or Not? · · Score: 4, Funny

    Just have the whole data center submerged in an inert solution like the one made by 3M (fluorinert?), and have the workers wear scuba equipment.

    Most. Efficient. Cooling. Evar!

  22. Re:Not Again on BBC Tells World About The Warden · · Score: 1

    I don't play the game, but this seems rather obvious...

    If there,s a market for real-cash-for-virtual-gold, why doesnt WoW sell it and put the gold-farmers out of business?

  23. I don't think we should send a probe to Pluto on Pluto's 3 Moons and a Probe to Study Them · · Score: 1

    The Mi-Go might find out about us...

    I'm afraid of their brain canisters!

  24. Re:Could Somebody Explain... on SBC CEO: Pay up if you want to use our pipes · · Score: 1

    by brown-nosing his superiors and backstabbing his fellow colleague competitors?

  25. Re:Working muscles give off heat? on Warm-blooded Fish? · · Score: 1

    So then why is this a suprise?

    If you even read the summary, you can see it's not about salmon.

    It's about the salmon shark.
