  1. Re:What, John Sculley not available? on Microsoft Narrows Down CEO Shortlist: Elop, Mulally, Bates, Nadella In Mix · · Score: 1

    He did so much for Apple, after all!

    Yeah, but can he handle changing the world, or just sugar water sales?

  2. Re:Best of both worlds on FAA To Allow Use of Most Electronic Devices Throughout Flights · · Score: 4, Insightful

    that all rules are silly.

    Who believes that all rules are silly? It's only the rules people don't like that are silly. The ones that affect others are great.

  3. MST3K Instead on Does Software Need a Siskel and Ebert? · · Score: 4, Funny

    Instead of Siskel & Ebert maybe we need more of a Mystery Science Theater 3000 for software...

  4. Re:Most of it is born on Root of Maths Genius Sought · · Score: 1

    I'm never ever going to run faster than Usain Bolt no matter how hard I train

    You're not training right. You need to practice whacking fast runners in the knees with a baseball bat.

  5. Re:Secret Emails and they fire a tweeter? on White House Official Tracked Down and Fired Over Insulting Tweets · · Score: 1

    he or she would be canned

    What would they label the can?

  6. Faster, Higher, Stronger on Elevated Radiation Claimed At Tokyo 2020 Olympic Venues · · Score: 2

    Well, that's the Olympic motto, "Faster, Higher, Stronger" so I'm sure a bit of a radiation boost can help.

  7. Re:Erm... on The Changing Face of Software Development · · Score: 1

    What else would it indicate?

    More computer generated code?

  8. I'll Save Them on Abandoned UK National Health Service IT System Has Cost $16bn... So Far · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I'd be more than happy to save them a lot of money by abandoning a similar system for a mere tenth of that amount!

  9. Public vs. Private Discussions on Snowden Gave 15,000 Documents to Glenn Greenwald; Obama Cancels Russia Summit · · Score: 5, Insightful

    The Brazilian government is showing much more anger in public than it is showing in private discussions with the U.S. government

    Private discussions are probably much more along the lines of "How much do you charge? Can we get a discount on this technology?"

  10. Microsoft... on Early Surface Sales Pitiful · · Score: 3, Funny

    Microsoft... There's a name you don't hear every day... They're still around?

  11. Re:NSA sez... on NSA Still Funded To Spy On US Phone Records · · Score: 1

    but I still can't sort out my own emails

    That's probably by design, for their own security... That way the courts can't force them to reveal it.

  12. Re:because they are asian on Why Are Some People Mosquito Magnets? · · Score: 2

    That might be if they're Asian outside of Asia...

    As an American, when I lived in India the mosquitos there were quite attracted to me, more than the people around me. I figured I was just exotic, foreign food to the Indian mosquitos. A real taste treat, different than their normal, mundane local food.

  13. Re:Blowing up like ... on N. Korea-Bound Ship With 'Military Cargo' Detained By Panama · · Score: 1

    You know, North Korea could get a boatload (literally and figuratively) of weapons-grade material if only they'd develop some sort of international superstar like Psy

    Kim Jong-un in sunglasses and a suit singing "Pyongyang Style" or something...

  14. Tsunami Warnings... on Was That A Tsunami? · · Score: 1

    I grew up on the Oregon coast and whenever there was a tsunami warning hordes of people would come out from the valley inland to see it. Luckily for them there never was anything to see...

  15. Bed Bugs on Nano-Suit Protects Bugs From Vacuums · · Score: 3, Funny

    No wonder we keep getting bit by bedbugs, even after we vacuum the apartment... I'll bet the bedbug section of the NYC subway trains has little bedbug sized ads for nano-suits, matching the human sized ads for mattress covers.

  16. Re:The industrial revolution improved productivity on Former MySQL CEO Mårten Mickos Talks About Managing Remote Workers (Video) · · Score: 1

    How about one with a dry floor and some comfortable nooks?

  17. Re:fire sharing huh? on 150 Copyright Notices For Mega · · Score: 1

    Didn't learn from Prometheus, huh?

  18. Where the savings would've been... on MS Won't Release Study Disputing Munich's Linux-Switch Savings · · Score: 1

    The savings probably would've come from not having Microsoft billing them for the $43 million it cost to hire HP to do the study...

  19. Re:I think the inter-agency conversation went like on Iran Claims To Have Downed Another US Drone · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    It was a boring conversation anyway...

  20. Re:Regular universities don't sell you the knowled on Rise of the Online Code Schools · · Score: 3, Funny

    - regular social contact with relatively capable and intelligent people of the appropriate sex (for straight guys, be aware that a significant majority of college students are women, so the odds are very much in your favor)

    I sure screwed that one up... I went to a tech-oriented college with a male-to-female ration of something like 6 to 1... I wonder at times if I should've picked a different school... Like maybe that fashion design college in Portland, that might've worked better...

  21. Re:Wow, don't have opinions online.. on How Free Speech Died On Campus · · Score: 1

    for a music degree, a professor didn't like the student because he didn't take enough notes in his class

    Let me guess.... There's no arguing that the music includes the space the between the notes?

  22. Triceratops on How Do You Eat a Triceratops? Start By Ripping the Head Off · · Score: 4, Funny

    Triceratops... It's what's for dinner!

  23. Re:The truth... on Experts Warn About Security Flaws In Airline Boarding Passes · · Score: 1

    Besides that it's election time.

    When is it not election time anymore?

  24. Re:Something shiny! on Apple Announces iPhone 5 · · Score: 5, Funny

    It's not going to change your life, get you laid

    You don't know my wife...

  25. Abby Someone's Brain on Exceptionally Preserved 2,600-Year-Old Brain Found · · Score: 1

    If he was probably hanged, then he may have been unfit for society (although that's not conclusive, as whoever did the hanging could easily have been the one unfit for society) so from this we can figure out the guy's name was probably Abby Someone, and his brain can be used for experiments.
