    Grass should be blue. I mean, if the sky isn't...

    But then wouldn't we have to call it blass?

    Millions of them?

    It depends on what kind of math you're using.

    *Gasp!* The sky isn't actually blue! My world has been shaken! ...Grass is still green, right? ;-)

    Ugh. One cloud would weigh about one *billion* elephants. I'm a retard.

  5. Re:Math? on How Much Does A Cloud Weigh? · · Score: 5, Funny

    If that were actually RIAA math, one cloud would weigh about one elephants. You have to take into account how old they are. A really old elephant is equivalent to two middle-aged elephants. You also have to take into account if they know any circus tricks. The elephants that know circus tricks are equivalent to the weight of five regular elephants. Then there are the wild elephants, which are the equivalent of ten elephants that grew up in zoos.

    Clouds are made of a lot of water. A lot of water is heavy. Clouds are heavy.

    In other news, the sky is blue and grass is green.

    What's the fun in seeing a comet *with* its dust tail?

  8. Re:Camera Phones on Origami Helps Cellphone Cameras To Focus · · Score: 1

    That's because in Finland the cellular operators work together and share cellular towers. I wish they would in the US, too.

    In the US, it's everyone for themselves. You could have a Cingular phone with zero service when standing next to an AT&T tower, for example.

    This is the same company that showed off Windows 95's awesome USB support and got a BSoD!

    That was Windows 98's awesome USB support.

    software gets delayed to make sure it works properly.

    You realize we're talking about Microsoft here?

  11. Camera Phones on Origami Helps Cellphone Cameras To Focus · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Why add cameras to phones?

    Why not work on ensuring that my call will never get disconnected? How about trying to make it so that I actually get reception in my house? I don't really enjoy going into my backyard just to make a phone call.

    Go get a job hippie.

    This seems like a common response from republicans when arguing with democrats and liberals. Can they think of nothing else to say? Probably because they know we're right.

    I think it's obvious from previous stories that SCO has no idea what they're doing.

    In future news, SCO sues Red Hat, Mandrake, others.

    Because it's not as ugly as Safari is? I'm not a fan of that whole brushed metal feeling. I used a beta of OS X 10.3, and now the brushed metal is even harder to escape. :-/

    There are two versions of the Google Toolbar. One has "Advanced Features" and one doesn't. The one with them, however, reports the sites you visit back to Google.

    I don't actually know what those "Advanced Features" are as I have the version that doesn't report back. I can't imagine why anyone would want to install it, however.

    Both versions block pop-ups.
