  1. Yea Like Leaving AT&T on Steve Jobs Lashes Out At Android · · Score: 1

    That's what I like about Androids, you aren't stuck with one of the crappiest carriers in the US.

  2. Re:So that's why the UW mail system went down on New Email Worm Squirming Through Windows Users' Inboxes · · Score: 1

    I'm still constantly fighting with management at my company who think outlook is the "Standard" and want it. This is one of the major reasons i do NOT want it. If I ever loose that battle, I will make sure the first time this happens that the decision maker gets full credit for the decision.

  3. Some schools can't achieve 1 good one on Education Official Says Bad Teachers Can Be Good For Students · · Score: 0, Troll

    And thanks to the unions, good luck firing the bad ones.

  4. There is however a problem with the Yeast on Doubled Yield For Bio-Fuel From Waste · · Score: 1

    In that it also eats flesh, controls your mind, and makes you smell funny. Oh yea, and make you crave braaaaaiiiinsss!

  5. Silly Idea, Plenty of good wasteland elsewhere on Europe To Import Sahara Solar Power Within 5 Years · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Yea so the Sahara is always sunny. It's not worth the tradeoff. Would you really like to extend your dependence on people who want you dead to actually outlast the oil supply? Really?

  6. Yea hundreds of years ago on Extremists Warn South Park Creators Over Muhammad In a Bear Suit · · Score: 1

    Too bad some people who don't like bear suits are still living in that century.

  7. Hope they don't try this with hard liquor on Scientists Discover Booze That Won't Give You a Hangover · · Score: 1

    Oxygen bubbles plus high alcohol could be an explosive hazard.

  8. Uh, can you say.. Blade Runner? on DARPA Aims for Synthetic Life With a Kill Switch · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Sure sounds like it to me.

  9. Yea, Right after pigs fly out of my.... on DARPA Aims for Synthetic Life With a Kill Switch · · Score: 1

    Well, maybe our new genetically superior, kill switch deactivating lords and masters just might be flying pigs small enough to come out of my butt?

  10. This has got to be closer than Einstein's crock on New Theory of Gravity Decouples Space & Time · · Score: 1

    The linking of space and time was complete silly nonsense. In my opinion the simple paradoxes presented by his theory alone prove it wrong. Altering time makes great fiction, but terrible science. At least this is a step in the right direction.

  11. Re:Semi-autonomous being key on Rise of the Robot Squadrons · · Score: 1

    Number Five is Alive!

  12. Bah, that Number is just nonsense. on The Ultimate Limit of Moore's Law · · Score: 1

    They just picked a number so darn high they would be long dead by the time it's proven wrong. The reality is sooner or later somebody will approach getting more than a boolean out of a single transistor. Of course 'that' probably won't be called a transistor, but you get the point. So you run out of space, and still find a way to get more calculations per second. In other words. Bull Droppings!

  13. Only offends a tiny group. on Is Working For the Gambling Industry a Black Mark? · · Score: 1

    A Group you probably don't want to work for anyhow; The holier than thou's. However, working for ASIG, Citigroup. or Enron, now there's a black mark a LARGE group of us turn our noses up at.

  14. They've already expressed they want us all dead on Iran's Nuclear Ambitions · · Score: 1

    If they have the means, they will use it.

  15. Beware Many wireless Routers Loose their Security on How Can I Tell If My Computer Is Part of a Botnet? · · Score: 1

    My own Linksys router reverts to wireless network enabled, and without security. All it takes is the power to go out, and back on again, and Boom! you're wide open. Furthermore Linksys never offered a patch or recall or anything later, They accept this is OK.

  16. Re:Beware of namechanges on RadioShack To Rebrand As "The Shack"? · · Score: 1

    Good name, IF THEY SOLD BAIT!, but they don't so its a really stupid name.

  17. Re:non competes only make sense when... on CA Vs. MA In Battle Over Non-Compete Clause · · Score: 1

    I agree so long as its only when the first company is trying to enforce it. And only for as long as they choose to enforce it up to the term of the non-compete.

  18. Perhaps those who study too much have few friends on Facebook Users Get Lower Grades In College · · Score: 1

    A much more likely 'cause' for the result

  19. They really don't last as long as claimed on CFLs Causing Utility Woes · · Score: 1

    I have changed out most of the lights in my house to cfls, however, despite the 7 year claims, I found that about 1/2 of them fail within 2 years. I'm sure it's a quality issue, I would love to see some real studies.

  20. Re:Bloody hell! on Is Alcohol Killing Our Planet? · · Score: 5, Funny

    Whoever wrote this article clearly doesn't realize they themselves breathe out as much CO2 as an entire microbrewery. For the sake of the environment, they can hold their breath while the rest of us enjoy our beer in peace.

  21. Re:Expensive, bloated, and unfriendly... on IBM's Inexpensive Notes/Domino Push Against MS · · Score: 1

    1) The UI is getting better (FINALLY!) and should see a revolution in improvements now that it's Eclipse Based and extendable.

    2) True, but it allows for ground up hands on learning that creates a unique class of self taught programmers. Yes there are many bad Notes Developers, but the good ones can often do the work of an entire team of M$ Developers.

  22. Well Happy Birthday Universe!! on The Universe Is 13.73 Billion Years Old · · Score: 4, Funny

    I remember when you were just knee high to a grasshopper. Now look at you, so big and 'universal'

  23. You need one to find one, borrow someone elses on How Do You Find Programming Superstars? · · Score: 1

    Borrow someone else's superstar to help you screen the candidates. If you don't have enough candidates, you aren't offering enough money.

  24. How to serve Orionoions on Does Active SETI Put Earth in Danger? · · Score: 1

    Let's not just conquer them, lets eat them! Yum!

  25. With top secrets spilling left and right on US Military 'Hacked' by Emails · · Score: 2, Interesting

    It still amazes me that anyone could believe any of the conspiracy theories, the U.S. Govt couldn't successfully keep anything secret.

    UFO Conspiracies?, Kennedy Assassination Conspiracy?, Secret Commissions Directing Foreign Policy?, Bah phoey!

    Lets face it, nothing as big as the Atomic bomb, or as small as Monica Lewinsiki's cigar stays secret for long.

    We might as well do nuclear research live on CSPAN, at least then only 5 or 6 people will see it.
