  1. Re:Way to go Chief Justice John G. Roberts on Barack Obama Sworn In As 44th President of the US · · Score: 1

    Damn. Thats exactly what I saw. As a European we're not familiar with the inauguration pledge word for word. I put it down to Obama stumbling with being overcome with the ceremony of it all. I wouldnt have known otherwise and havent seen it in any news reports. Thanks for that.

  8. Re:SKY TV set top box on Anyone Besides Zune Owners With New Year's Crashes? · · Score: 5, Funny

    A similar thing, though probably unrelated to the leap second - my parents VHS clock has been flashing 12:00 since 1986.
    It would probably bring bad luck for the new year to set it correctly for 2009, so I think ill leave it.

  13. Re:Sounds like razors on Triple Helix — Designing a New Molecule of Life · · Score: 5, Funny

    Would someone tell me how this happened? We were the fucking vanguard of genetics in this country. The double helix was the DNA strand to own. Then the other guy came out with a 3 HELIX STRAND. Were we scared? Hell, no. Because we hit back with a little thing called the DNA Turbo. That's three helixes and an aloe strip. For moisture. But you know what happened next? Shut up, I'm telling you what happened--the bastards went to four strands. Now we're standing around with our cocks in our hands, selling three DNA strands and a strip. Moisture or no, suddenly we're the chumps. Well, fuck it. We're going to five helixes. Sure, we could go to four helixes next, like the competition. That seems like the logical thing to do. After all, three worked out pretty well, and four is the next number after three. So let's play it safe. Let's make a thicker aloe strip and call it the Mach3Super DNA Turbo. Why innovate when we can follow? Oh, I know why: Because we're a business, that's why!

  19. Re:ANPR already in UK on Australia Mulling a Nationwide Vehicle-Tracking System · · Score: 4, Informative

    Ive spent the last few years working with IT departments at airports and other major networked UK sites providing cabling and telecom services. Ive been to many of the secret rooms and surveilance areas of these places.
    Im not trying to disappoint the CCTV-Tinfoilhatters abroard in the US, but nobody sits in a room like Lex Luthor spying on individuals and following them about their business with camera. It is an extremely BORING pastime. The guys running these networks generally spend all their time releasing remote doors, monitoring queue lengths, opening car parking barriers and signing out keys for storerooms.

    There isnt an Israeli embassy there either. Whats your point.
