    Ah!, an unstructured threaded combinator language.

  2. Re:That's cool! on WHO To Investigate Handling of Swine Flu Information, Vaccine Orders · · Score: 2, Funny

    And as a bonus, Bono isn't involved!

  3. Re:I already bought my copy on Robotics Prof Fears Rise of Military Robots · · Score: 3, Insightful

    'EXCEPT... When perfect machines, with perfect performance, are made to perfectly resemble man - who needs man?"'

    To define meaning and purpose where there are none and to set goals to fit.

  4. Re:Why fear terrorists... on Obama Appointee Sunstein Favors Infiltrating Online Groups · · Score: 3, Insightful

    '... or recruit people specifically to kill people it's not.'

    Like these people?

  5. Re:Habits on Tynt Insight Is Watching You Cut and Paste · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Probably Derek Ball

  6. Re:Turbo Button on Asus Promises 12-Hour Battery Life In New High-End Laptop · · Score: 1

    Just claim you misspelt unary (as binary). Then it's just the grammar NAZIs you need worry about, and nobody cares about them.

  7. Re:Instantly communcation indeed on Tech Tools Fostering "Mini Generation Gaps" · · Score: 2, Funny

    'They'll want their teachers and professors to respond to them immediately, and they will expect instantaneous access to everyone, because after all, that is the experience they have growing up,' says Rosen.

    Well, aren't we special!

  8. Re:At least they left out the goggles on Gallery of Past Tech (and Other) Advertising · · Score: 1

    Hardly original and not nearly as cool looking

  9. Re:For those that don't RTFA... on NIST Investigating Mass Flash Drive Vulnerability · · Score: 1

    They're lying; the flaw is not in the encryption, 'tis in the key management.

  10. Re:they screwed up... OR on NIST Investigating Mass Flash Drive Vulnerability · · Score: 1

    It does take a special kind of stupidity to build a (supposedly) secure device which opens on the basis of "OK, you can open up now" from something external. Reminds me of the land shark skits on SNL.

  11. Re:Shrimp free zone? on Air Canada Ordered To Provide Nut-Free Zone · · Score: 1

    Actually, we have many breeds and varieties of dogs, cats, sheep, goats, pigs, kine, horses, chickens, roses, apples, etc. based on this very technique of manual selection.

  12. Re:Copyright or "cultural heritage"? on Mexico Wants Payment For Aztec Images · · Score: 1

    Starbucks isn't (a) human.

  13. Re:idiocy? Incompetence? on Y2.01K · · Score: 1

    I think it's because the code was created here

  14. Re:Have I been trolled, or are actually a fuckwit? on Australian Net Filter Protest Site Returns · · Score: 1

    Well, that's your opinion, but I guess you're not entitled to it.

  15. Re:This article is so RIGHT on How Norway Fought Staph Infections · · Score: 3, Funny

    'Doctors prescribe antibiotics not because they are necessary, but because they are heckled by patients who want a prescription to justify their trip to the doctor's office and because they are encouraged by pharmaceutical companies to move their products.'

    It appears to me that training in professional ethics should be included in the medical curriculum and perhaps required (and enforced) for licensing.

  16. Re:This will work until Big Pharm (tm) patents it. on How Norway Fought Staph Infections · · Score: 1

    But apparently it's rocket science to not give patients antibiotics when they've got a throat ache.

  17. Re: Atari TOS/GEM on The Amiga, Circa 2010 — Dead and Loving It · · Score: 1

    I believe he may be thinking of OS-9.

    Er, the "11" was in unary!

  19. Re:Cost on Thorium, the Next Nuclear Fuel? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    'Because everyone that has nuclear reactors also builds bombs...'

    In this case, one can't blame Canada!

  20. Re:Inadvertent? Full Responsibility? on TSA Nominee's Snooping Raises Privacy Concerns · · Score: 1

    Because then the people in charge couldn't misuse the data for their own personal reasons and benefit.

  21. Worth about as much on Canadian Censorship Takes Down 4500 Sites · · Score: 1

    Just goes to show you that our Bill of Rights is worth about as much as this.

    (Yeah, we're not much different in that from anywhere else; just in what's censored.)

  22. Useless on Steve Jobs Crowned "Person of the Decade" · · Score: 2, Insightful

    So, out of a bunch of people who have done bugger all other than accumulate wealth, Jobs won.

  23. Re:This ain't MTV! on Critics Call For NASA TV To "Liven Up" · · Score: 1

    '...though their humor can usually be boiled down to complex analysis jokes, so maybe this doesn't solve the problem.'

    Well, it would require an imagination.

  24. Re:Oh hell no. on Critics Call For NASA TV To "Liven Up" · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It started with the Greek chorus, made a giant leap forward with the pianist at a silent film, reached its nadir with sitcom laugh tracks, and then managed, unbelievably, to descend even lower with sports announcers and television commentators!

  25. Re:Groklaw Putting Comes v. Microsoft Docs Online on Groklaw Putting Comes v. Microsoft Docs Online · · Score: 3, Funny

    Right, just what I want: aircraft flight control systems as PHP code on the internet.
