  1. 2010 on Here Come the Linux iPad Clones · · Score: 4, Funny

    2010: Year of the Linux Deskt- er... Lapt- wait... no.. er... palmt-... no no... hmm.

    'Tabletop'?

  2. Protecting rights on China Warns Google To Obey Or Leave · · Score: 5, Insightful

    "Protecting the rights of the country and its people", brought to you by the Ministry of Truth.

  3. Re:What's with the snarky comment? on Department of Education Purchasing 27 Shotguns · · Score: 1

    I think the attitude of the summary extends from the failure to imagine what possible use the department of education could possibly have for firearms. Can anyone clarify?

  4. Coloured writing on School Putting Autistic Children in Fenced Enclosure · · Score: 3, Insightful

    This is yellow journalism and blue-faced agitation at its worst. These are special needs kids who are prone to wandering, at a school near a busy road. The fence was installed at the request of their parents. The article clearly states this (as does the summary); the coalition is complaining about it merely because it's an opportunity to cause a pernicious backlash against the school board. Frankly, they should be ashamed of themselves - it's like arguing that installing ramps at a school it singles out people in wheelchairs.

  5. Re:I call fowl on Half-Male, Half-Female Fowl Explain Birds' Sex Determination · · Score: 1

    Like the chickens, his joke went off half-cocked.

  6. Re:Support local music on EMI Cannot Unbundle Pink Floyd Songs · · Score: 4, Funny

    That's ridiculous. Everyone knows that music is created solely in the tightly controlled laboratories deep within record label strongholds. Instrument players are merely stealing music by way of arranging reproductions of notes and chord progressions developed by, and the exclusive property of, the music industry. These people must be stopped before their counterfeit performances devalue music by making it accessible.

  7. Re:The irony here is... on Unboxing the Fake Intel Core i7-920 · · Score: 1

    But by the rules of logic, !(!real) would makes it... real?

    1. Create knockoff processors
    2. Produce counterfeit fake processors
    3. ??? 4. Profit!

  8. Re:Did you hear on Unboxing the Fake Intel Core i7-920 · · Score: 1

    Does your dad know?

  9. Re:Star Wars on The Lost Film That Accompanied Empire Strikes Back · · Score: 1

    ... or perhaps 'Hidden Fortress'.

  10. Re:Ghosts again on Man Sells Bottled Ghosts In Online Auction · · Score: 1

    Unless the particular ghost you're talking about is holy, I'm not sure what the bible has to do with any of this. Now, if you could find a way to bottle the holy spirit and maybe use it to power a lightbulb, that's a technology worth patenting!

  11. Re:Nigger Joke First Post! on Gas Wants To Kill the Wind · · Score: 1

    Hey! How dare you say that about my mother!

  12. Re:And? on AIDS Virus Can Hide In Bone Marrow · · Score: 1

    RIAA is the MRSA?

    Yeah, we can run with that.

  13. Re:And? on AIDS Virus Can Hide In Bone Marrow · · Score: 1

    MRSA is the new cancer.

  14. Re:Use a qwerty touch typing program on Correcting Poor Typing Technique? · · Score: 1, Insightful

    This is why I found. As my skill with hunt-and-peck typing increased, my fingers would naturally linger over the middle of the keyboard and I could just hit the right key without looking. One day I just realised that I could touch-type without ever actually explicitly training myself to. It was simply an evolution of the muscle memory I'd developed.

    Ironically, the real catalyst for increasing my typing speed was arguing with people online. As you need to type both quickly and correctly, you soon develop a great deal of proficiency. It's also a great way to train yourself to avoid typos - nothing ruins your argument like typing like a 14 year old... well... except maybe on Youtube.

  15. Re:Gay rights are civil rights. on Xbox Live Now Allows Gender Expression · · Score: 1

    My toaster always toasts too lightly - the bread pops out much too early. I've tried to talked to him about it, but how do I explain that he might have a problem with premature... you know?

  16. Re:yes, on Microsoft "Courier" Pictures · · Score: 1

    A.2) With the interpretation that you ponder if Microsoft 'made it' with Linux as in 'did it' or 'mated with', you sir are a sicko, not to mention Linux lacks genitalia.

    You mean your distro doesn't have /dev/wang? You're missing out.

  17. Re:Booklet? on Microsoft "Courier" Pictures · · Score: 1

    What if the landmines run Linux?

    Imagine a beowulf cluster of those!

  18. Re:This isn't going to work. on Microsoft "Courier" Pictures · · Score: 1

    I use my belly as a reading stand, you insensitive clod!

  19. Re:Only one explanation I can think of on Charles Nesson Ruled Jointly Liable To Pay RIAA · · Score: 1

    That... is a very interesting point, actually. My kingdom for mod points.

  20. Re:Making copies shouldn't be a crime on Man Swallows USB Flash Drive Evidence · · Score: 1

    More correctly, it's fraud.

  21. Re:hmm... on A Public Funded "Microsoft Shop?" · · Score: 4, Funny

    Taliban vs Amish

    FIGHT!

  22. Re:The Cause of the Extra Gamma Radiation is... on Gamma Ray Mystery Reestablished By Fermi Telescope · · Score: 1

    You do realise dragons, in reality, don't exist.

    And neither does magic.

    Nor Gandalf.

    Nor ogres.

  23. Re:But what about the cost of e-ink? on Freescale's Cheap Chip Could Mean Sub-$99 E-Readers · · Score: 4, Insightful

    See, that's what the sensible person would think. But note, if you loaded books via USB, how could they tether you to their expensive online bookstore? How would they upsell to you? Gasp - you might even buy PDFs from a competitor!

  24. Re:Maybe he's right. on Another Study Attacks Violent Video Games, Claims To Be "Conclusive" · · Score: 1

    Whatever the case, without clearly increasing violence statistics, it's hard to argue for the government moderation/legislation the guy is lobbying for.

  25. Re:I'll shoot anyone in the face who says that I'm on Another Study Attacks Violent Video Games, Claims To Be "Conclusive" · · Score: 3, Funny

    FIGHT!
