  1. Re:Consumer Focus or Consumer Manipulation? on NAB, RIAA May Seek Mandate For FM Radios In Mobile Devices · · Score: 1

    The vast majority of people do want to pay $5/month to be told what music they should claim to like. They're not looking for good music, they're looking for what opinions they should have in order to fit in with their peers.

    Heh. I don't even need to pay $5 to read pitchfork.

  2. Lumps and Bumps on Medical Students Open To Learning With Video Games · · Score: 1

    Description: A group of stevedores has recently done some heavy lifting without proper safety gear and without warming up. You need to physically examine them to weed out workmen's comp malingerers.
    Objectives: You are to properly diagnose and repair 5 simple hernias and one infarcted hernia.
    Rewards: 24000 experience points and $100,000 billed to insurance.
    ACCEPT DECLINE

  3. Pushed back again? on Tool Use By Humans Pushed Back By 800,000 Years · · Score: 5, Funny

    Tool use by humans pushed back again, and by 800,000 years? I can't wait that long. I have to fix my brakes this weekend.

  4. Re:Ob on Record-Breaking Galaxy Cluster Found · · Score: 1

    How many Kessel Runs is that?

  5. That is one powerful projector! on Japanese Consortium Projects a Humanoid Robot On the Moon By 2015 · · Score: 1

    maybe they use superbright LEDs?

  6. So does thinkgeek on Sun Pushes Emergency Java Patch · · Score: 3, Funny
  7. Re:Keep up the pressure. on NZ Draft Bill Rules Out Software Patents · · Score: 2, Funny

    too much pressure and your draft comes out all foamy. I have found about 8 PSI gauge to be about right for cornelius kegs.

  8. Foes list on Lawmakers Ask For FTC Investigation of Google Buzz · · Score: 2, Funny

    I hereby request all you 9 year old girls to add me to your foes list.

  9. Needs a billiard table on ISS To Get Man Cave · · Score: 1

    Also more ashtrays, a kegerator and a HDTV. Then it will be a man cave. Not to be confused with the bar "The Man Hole" (entrance in rear).

    I wonder how one plays billiards in microgravity?

  10. Not as hot as Marie-Josee Croze on The Computer That Can Read Your Mind · · Score: 2, Informative
  11. Re:Push them further away on Space Junk Getting Worse · · Score: 1

    The real problem is junk that doesn't have working thrusters and communications so that they can tell it to de-orbit.

    If the missile defense lasers ever become viable weapons, they might be used to ablate space junk in such a way as to change its orbit.

  12. Strike at the heart of the problem on European Credit and Debit Card Security Broken · · Score: 5, Funny

    The researchers used off-the-shelf components (PDF), and a laptop running a Python script...

    It is long past time for governments to criminalize the use of Python.

  13. Re:"Much darker" my ass on Star Wars TV Show Tainted By Memories of Jar Jar · · Score: 1

    heh. Blade Runner is all dark and gritty... I think you're on to something there.

  14. meh on Robotic Audi To Brave Pikes Peak Without a Driver · · Score: 4, Funny

    I already saw this on Speed Racer.
    Spoiler Alert!
    Speed wins the race anyway, and helps Inspector Detector catch the nefarious people behind the robot car

  15. Han shot first on Why the First Cowboy To Draw Always Gets Shot · · Score: 2, Insightful

    ...but Greedo drew first, so I guess the effect extends to space ruffians too.

  16. You think it's like this... on The Apple Tablet Interface Must Be Like This · · Score: 1
  17. I'm on it on Star Trek Online Open Beta Starts Today · · Score: 1

    Time to quit my job full time...

  18. Re:Twilight zone on What SciFi Should Get the Reboot Treatment Next? · · Score: 1

    Sounds like it is ready for the reboot in question, then

  19. Re:Wrong technology on "Home Batteries" Power Houses For a Week · · Score: 1

    I would suggest sodium-sulfur for a static installation. Cheap, with high energy density. Keep it well insulated though, because it needs to stay above 300C.

    For anyone worried about sodium fires: compared to lithium batteries? Seriously? Or any battery that can power a house for a week, for that matter?

  20. Re:Blue Smarties. . . on Body Heat Energy Generation · · Score: 4, Funny

    Humans naturally try to reject the Matrix. "Entire crops were lost."

    I don't reject the Matrix so much as I reject The Matrix 2 and 3.

  21. Tool on Aussie Scientists Find Coconut-Carrying Octopus · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    A veined octopus using tools? My one-armed veined octopus IS my tool

  22. know your audience! on Confessions of a Public Speaker · · Score: 4, Funny

    ...before imagining them naked.
    For instance, if you are speaking at the adult video entertainment awards, very little imagination is needed.
    If you are conducting a bariatric surgery seminar for octogenarians, you may experience extensive psychological damage.
    And if you are speaking at a kindergarten read-along, well that just might result in jail time

  23. How can if fail? on Comcast to Buy 51% of NBC, GE Goes After 49% · · Score: 1

    When TW bought AoL, AoL had chatrooms which were already horribly out of date and irrelevant.
    NBC has Leno. I don't see how this could fail

  24. LESLIE Stahl on Toyota Experimenting With Joystick Control For Cars · · Score: 1

    no text

  25. If it won't stand up to peer review on Should I Publish Or Patent? · · Score: 1

    Then you're better off patenting it.
