  1. "Suprisingly" on US Does Surprisingly Well in Internet Survey · · Score: 1

    And surprisingly bad at teaching proper spelling, apparently.

  2. Pressure on Microsoft's Vista Blogger Quits · · Score: 1

    I guess this puts more pressure on their Web 1.0 talent.

  3. Re:WTF? on Large Hadron Collider Sparks 'Doomsday' Lawsuit · · Score: 1

    The Hadron collider builders should also play "It's the End of the World as We Know It" by REM the day it starts.

    And if things go awry, they can play "Oops!... I Did It Again".

  4. Partial solution on Must a CD Cost $15.99? · · Score: 1

    $2.91 Label overhead

    Make a smaller label!

  5. Re:You'd think they'd LEARN from Earthlink's baili on Municipal WiFi Moves Ahead In Houston · · Score: 1

    Most of the people taking advantage of this are going to be small-medium businesses who will be milking the free bandwidth, not lower income families.

    I'm not sure about this particular area, but other low-income areas in Houston just happen to have high-priced lofts right next door. Those people will be using the free wifi, too.

    By the way, this is a project from the same mayor who wanted to evict a facility for the mentally retarded.

  6. Tell him on Programmer Buys Original Ada Lovelace Painting On eBay · · Score: 1

    Ada boy!

  7. But... on The Reality Distortion Field Is Real · · Score: 1, Funny

    To be fair, the ones who saw the Apple logo were all Macs, and the ones who saw the IBM logo were all PCs.

  8. Doubt it on AI Researchers Say 'Rascals' Might Pass Turing Test · · Score: 1

    Even students these days can't pass the Turing test. How do they expect to get a computer to do it?

  9. His campaign bumper sticker on A Congressman Who Can Code Assembly · · Score: 1

    for(;;) {
      tax();
      spend();
    }

  10. Design on A Robotic Taxi Named robuCAB · · Score: 1

    One example is the robuCAB, a '4 seat automated people mover'

    Is this a true 4-seat mover, built from scratch that way, or is it just two 2-seat movers joined together? The real future is in the one that is built with 4 seats from the ground up.

  11. It's easy to tell who wins on Panic in Multicore Land · · Score: 1

    Whoever runs the fastest.

  12. Coordination on Feds Seize $78M of Bogus Chinese Cisco Gear · · Score: 1

    Apparently, the RCMP coordinated their efforts with the RCP, the RSH, and--of course--the ICMP.

  13. Wow on The U.S. Patent Backlog · · Score: 2, Funny

    They actually *read* patent applications?!?

  14. Nanotechnology on Nanotechnology-Powered Wiper-Less Windshield · · Score: 1

    But does it stop bullets?

  15. Re:Extrapolating the data points... on Inventor to Launch Pop Bottle Rocket into Space · · Score: 1

    Hey, he never said at which altitude he would launch it!

  16. Re:Disappointing. We need to LASER it. on USA 193 Shootdown Set For Feb 21, 03:30 UTC · · Score: 1

    What does that have to do with the dolphins with lasers on their heads?

  17. Update on Rush Limbaugh Begs Steve Jobs For Bug Fixes · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Someone from "high up" at Apple corporate ("a West Coast guy", he said) called his office on the morning of Valentine's Day. Now they've got IT people working it out.

  18. Re:Definitional clarity, please on Texas Creationist Museum Facing Extinction · · Score: 1

    They think that a theory in science (as in "just a theory") is an idle speculation that just shot out of some scientist's ass and beat out competing theories in a popularity contest.

    You'd be surprised how many scientific theories start out that way!

  19. Re:Died in a * accident on XKCD Inadvertently Causes Googlebomb · · Score: 1

    Now for the obligatory search.

  20. Re:Somewhere on $2500 Tata Nano Car Unveiled in India · · Score: 1

    ...because for $2500, they didn't include seat belts?

  21. First thing's first on ISPs To Filter Traffic For Copyright Holders? · · Score: 1

    Why not first concentrate on a decent network-side parental filter? That would be useful to consumers who want it.

  22. Web Server Error on Startup Building Floating Data Centers · · Score: 1

    506 Server Underwater

  23. Re:A serious question on USB 3.0's New Jacks and Sockets · · Score: 1

    Maybe if Sony pushed it as Blue-raywire, it would catch on.

  24. Sure, it's Windows, but... on Computer Glitch Halts Seattle New Year's Fireworks · · Score: 1

    ...at least they have an OS driver for the fireworks.

  25. In a Tata? on The World's Cheapest Car Set To Launch · · Score: 1

    But will they drive with pride?

    (Maybe he needs to write a song for this car, too.)
