  1. Re:cliche explosion on Linux-Powered Humanoid Robot on Sale Friday · · Score: 1

    Is it just me, or is it's head in the shape of a phallus? (penis/dick)

    trust me, if your anus is elastic enough, the shape of it won't matter.

  2. And some genetic disorders on The New Face Lift · · Score: 2, Informative

    I remember a news story about a girl born without a face.

    I don't remember the medical name of the condition, where basically the bone structure of the face fails to develop during pregnancy, but such a procedure might help such people after the underlying bone grafts are complete.

  3. Re:Wow can you imagine on Space Elevator Gets FAA Clearance · · Score: 1

    For one thing, it's not *that* hard to get a pilot's license.

    It just costs more and takes longer than a driver's license.

    As for allowing people to fly over their houses, we don't have much choice already.

    And if we all had access to flying cars, I doubt there would be a lot of collisions high in the air because there's so much room up there.

    The risk would be around the high traffic landing areas (ie "parking" lots)

  4. Re:1440 Pictures? on The Tech of Burning Man · · Score: 1

    I read somewhere else about growing discontentment regarding the increasingly commercial aspects of burningman.

    One of the last straws apparently was that a reality tv show was filmed there this year, and a discovery channel-related person was throwing eggs at the crew while it was assembling the man-to-be-burned.

  5. Yet on Trigonometry Redefined without Sines And Cosines · · Score: 1

    slashdot still uses the 2+2=5 chalkboard icon.

  6. I hope that Inukshuk on Canada-Wide Wireless Broadband Network Planned · · Score: 3, Funny

    will install hotspots in Iqaluit.

    It's freakin' cold up there.

  7. Re:Is it an eeevil slogan? on Bill Gates Speaks Out · · Score: 1

    this is the single greatest thing to come out of Bill Gates' mouth, ever.

    I'm still voting for the "640k should be enough for everybody".

    And that teen magazine photo of him tossing floppies.

  8. Re:Reasons to NOT move to Australia: on 12Mbps Powerline Broadband Trial Unveiled · · Score: 1

    On the bright side, you no longer have to worry about such predators as the Tasmanian Tiger

  9. Re:Freaky on How About a Nice Game of Global Thermonuclear War? · · Score: 1

    well first of all it's nearly the end of 2005 and there's no civil war yet...

    second Russia is supposed to preemptively strike the US with nukes in 2015.

    he prolly screwed up his time machine settings and made his predictions based on a timeline too far removed from our own.

    ^_^

  10. Re:this gives the perfect opportunity... on Canada's Do-Not-Hesitate-To-Call List · · Score: 1

    wait wait wait... you guys are MARRIED!

    wow.

  11. how much time on New IBM Ultra Fast Printer · · Score: 1, Funny

    to print one million dollars?

    the summary doesn't say...

  12. Re:What about Uranus? on Titan Occupies A Solar System Sweet Spot · · Score: 1

    that depends on the type of bacteria in there

  13. Can someone tell me on Earth Releasing More CO2 Than Originally Thought · · Score: 1

    when we'll finally have Florida weather in Canada during wintertime?

  14. I'm more concerned on Ready For the Big Mac Virus? · · Score: 5, Funny

    about the data Hamburglar...

  15. Re:You have to wonder what they are up to... on Google Hires Vint Cerf · · Score: 1

    and then there's the alleged Google OS screenshots that have been circulating lately

    I wouldnt be surprised if they re the result of some photoshopping contest though

  16. Re:They're looking for the wrong thing on Company to Settle and Mine Mars · · Score: 2, Interesting

    How are you going to refine the uranium (or other fissionable material) into useable fuel though?

  17. Useless corners explain science fiction on Top 8 Reasons HCI is in its Stone Age · · Score: 1

    I always wondered about the octogonal screens in Battlestar Galactica.

    In the future, they figured out that corners are useless, so they cut them out!

  18. The world is unsafe?! on Too Many People in Nature's Way · · Score: 1

    I better buy a helmet!

  19. what we need to do on Blu-Ray To Punish Users for Modifying Hardware · · Score: 1

    is go to, for example, the Sony store when they get their first shipment and ask the salespeople to explain how this works, and then say "so you mean I can't tinker with it even if I own it?" and then laugh as loudly as possible while leaving the store.

  20. Re:Best known export! on Microsoft Windows Media Player Encryption Hacked · · Score: 4, Funny

    Now I know what coffee jetting through the nose feels like.

  21. Re:Finally..... on Mom, and Now Judge, Stand Up to RIAA · · Score: 1

    I thought this cliché was supposed to end like so:

    ...win YOU!

  22. Just look at what humans are doing on Modern Humans, Neanderthals Shared Earth for 1,000 Years · · Score: 1

    to the rest of the great simian family.

  23. Evolution in Action on Your Thoughts on the Great Ozone Debate? · · Score: 5, Funny

    I predict that the ozone layer will vanish one day, not because of first world countries, but because third world countries dont have the cash for the more expensive ozone-friendly chemicals.

    When that happens, a whole bunch of people are going to die from skin cancer and/or will go blind from cataracts, while the survivors who are more resistant to UVs will procreate.

    I'd give anything to be around at that time, only to see how the creationism/evolution debate turns out.

  24. I was addicted to pirated movies on BitTorrent's Loss is eDonkey's Gain? · · Score: 5, Funny

    I downloaded so many of them, that virtually spent all my time burning them to CDs and DVDs.

    Eventually I realized that I had no time left to actually watch any of it, so I deleted all my collection.

    Now I have more time, but no movies to watch.

  25. Question on Coffee A Health Drink? · · Score: 1

    Do the antioxidant levels change with the roasting levels (rise or fall)?

    Has anyone ever tried to drink non-roasted coffee and survived to tell the tale?
