  1. Shape shifting robots on Telepresence Via Matter Imaging · · Score: 4, Funny

    Sounds like some strange combination of the T1000 from Terminator 2 and Gumby.

  2. Dupe!!! on New Model Solves Grandfather Paradox · · Score: 1

    Just kidding. I was just traveling back in time to say hi to gramps when I decided to see how the "old" internet was working. let me tell you about the future:
    - still lots of spam
    - geeks still not getting laid
    - cmdrtaco promoted to admiral taco.

  3. Re:Already in New York on CA State Offers To Prepare Simple Tax Returns · · Score: 1

    In the near future, everybody (including New York) will be filling out the T-100 form which will greatly simplify tax collection.

  4. here's a list of the things... on $100,000 Poker Bot Tournament · · Score: 4, Funny

    Here's a list of the things that a poker playing robot needs to know:
    1. When to hold 'em
    2. When to fold 'em
    3. When to walk away
    4. When to run
    5. Never count your money: When you're sitting at the table, there'll be time enough for counting, when the dealings done.

  5. Re:Who the hell is Jamie Zawinski on Jamie Zawinski Switches to Mac OS X · · Score: 4, Funny

    From free software to selling beer? What happened to the 'free beer' step?

  6. Re:Los Alamos and supernovae collapse.... on Simulating Supernovae with Graphics Cards · · Score: 1

    Nova?? No disassemble number 5!

  7. Re:I must say on Simulating Supernovae with Graphics Cards · · Score: 1

    Yeah. And with a soundtrak by John Cage. Dreadful.

  8. Re:This will work on The First Annual Underhanded C Contest · · Score: 4, Funny

    Based on past experience, free beer is usually the first step toward free speech.

  9. Small size on Secret Codes Protect Ancient Torahs · · Score: 1

    304,805 letters? That's only 1.15e-15 libraries of congress!
    Ok, so I made that number up. What's the real number?

  10. Novel game idea - open sourced on Games We've Never Seen Before · · Score: 1

    Ok, here's finally the topic for me to post my game idea (because I'm too lazy to write it myself). I am GPLing this idea so hopefully somebody will make it.
    I want a shoot-em up game in 3D, SIRDS style. Yes, those magic eye type things that you look at and your brain tricks you into seeing a 3D picture from random noise. Maybe something Zaxxonish.
    So please, 31337 programmers with too much time on their hands, write this for me. I will be grateful. Otherwise, I'll have to do it one of these days - when I retire.
    Thank you.

  11. Re:*evil villianous laugh* on Ancient Cave Bear DNA Extracted and Decoded · · Score: 1

    Now, we just need to combine the two! Neanderthal bears!
    You got bear in my neanderthal!
    You got neanderthal in my bear!
    Two great tastes that go together.

  12. Re:Is it just me or.. on Computex 2005 Early Bird Coverage · · Score: 1

    Since they are geeks, they probably have the latest in personal air filtration technology; this would allow them to inhale the air yet remain unharmed by the stench of sweat and the solvent escaping from freshly opened computer parts.
    They do have the latest personal air filtration technology, but they pulled the batteries from them to power up a more important technology that needed the power. (laptop, PDA, cell phone).

  13. Sorry, if I'm not the comic book guy on Alan Moore Pulls LOEG From DC Comics · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    First, I thought it was something about Alan Turing and DC Comics.
    Then I thought it was something about Gordon Moore and DC Comics.
    Then I thought the submitter had mixed the two up.
    Then I realized I didn't even know what the article was about.

  14. The best part... on Tinfoil Hat House · · Score: 4, Funny

    The best part of this article is that was posted by an anonymous reader. That's irony. (and, if it's not, I'm sure the grammar police will enforce).

  15. Scooba Mark II on Scooba the New iRobot Product · · Score: 5, Funny

    "Remove your shoes before you enter the kitchen. You have 20 seconds to comply."

  16. Married with children on New Phone Service Promises to ID Songs · · Score: 1

    Does anyone else remember the episode of 'Married with Children' where Al gets a song stuck in his head? I was thinking that this would be useful for that. I tried the google trick, but I couldn't remember the lyrics, either.

  17. No time limits... on Television Reloaded · · Score: 4, Insightful

    On the internet, there are no time limits. You could have a real 60 minute tv show if you wanted. Or a 61 and a half minute tv show. And you could have advertisements every minute. Or 3 hours of ads before the show started. Or just broadcast "clever" ads. Why does everyone insist that internet tv has to look and fit the shape of broadcast tv? See podcasting for further details.

  18. Re:New way to get ripped-off on Chase Deploying "Touchless" Credit Cards · · Score: 1

    Is the sack under the mattress such a bad idea?
    It's harder to swipe through the card reader.

  19. Yes.. on Stanford and Volkswagen Create Autonomous Vehicle · · Score: 0

    but how big is it in standard Volkswagen units?
    Oh...sorry

  20. Re:WTF is "$1mn"? on CA's $1mn Open-Source Bounty Results · · Score: 1

    How about "$1M" or "1 million dollars"?
    I assume you meant "One meeelleeeon dollars!!! muhahaha!!"

  21. Sounds like a Star Wars character. on New Lucas Headquarters To Open in San Francisco · · Score: 2, Funny

    Meet my new apprentice...Darth Presidious.
    And my backup apprentice, Darth Congeniality.

  22. FYI on LUGRadio Live This Summer · · Score: 2, Informative

    It's pronounced "Lug rah-dee-o". Brilliant show. Oh, and it's not profanity, it's "language".

  23. The hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy on Howto - Flying Snakes · · Score: 4, Funny

    The secret to flying is throwing yourself at the ground and missing. Full quote

  24. And here's what they'll see... on Exploring Superstrings in the Lab · · Score: 1

    - (This added to get past slashcode)

  25. Podcasting killed the radio star on Radio Listening Declining w/ Digital On Its Way Up · · Score: 1

    I have become dependent on podcasting for my radio needs. As I use the web for news and weather, "radio" for me has become just entertainment. My favorite podcasts include (please use Google) Adam Curry, Spacemusic, Dawn and Drew, Hometown Tales, Bicyclemark, etc. No commercials (well, YMMV if you count promos as commercials) and if you hit something that you don't like or don't want to hear, there's always fast forward. And it's different. Every day.
