  1. Theme Parks on Kentucky Announces Creationism Theme Park · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Don't they only build theme parks for things that are fantas - Ohhhhhhhhhhhh.

  2. Worst comment ever. on Greenlander's DNA Sequenced, After 5,000 Years · · Score: 1

    Genetic analysis revealed that 'Inuk' was stocky, possibly with a receding hairline, had a cold-adapted metabolism, A+ blood type, and possibly a rather bad haircut.

    So... comic book guy?

    The cold blood must be a genetic adaptation from years of basement dwelling.

  3. Re:Some kind of... on 2016 Bug Hits Text Messages, Payment Processing · · Score: 3, Funny

    Take it easy on him. After all, there are only 10 kinds of people in this world.

  4. That's no spider on 3D Images Reconstructed of 300M-Year-Old Spiders · · Score: 3, Funny

    That's a headcrab!

  5. Obligatory on New Flu Strain Appears In the US and Mexico · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I, for one, welcome our new microbial pigfluenza overlords!

  6. Re:Browser bars make me puke... on Digg Backs Down On DiggBar · · Score: 3, Informative

    The summary is wrong. It's not a browser add-on. It's a frame, loaded via HTML, like any other frame. It loads when you click a link on Digg.

  7. Markup Writer on What Do You Call People Who "Do HTML"? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    You're a markup writer. Even if you're the best, most semantic, standard following markup writer in the world, you're not a web developer. If you only know the basics of CSS and Javascript, you can hardly call yourself anything but a markup writer.

    Design technologist? You're not designing anything.
    UI Engineer? Sorry, you're not really engineering anything if you're only using HTML. Either that or you're writing bloated, non-semantic markup.
    Front-end / Client Side Developer? If the front end is ONLY HTML (what a boring site)

  8. Re:Just a Money Grab on ICANN Responds To gTLD Plan Comments · · Score: 1

    I don't know about you, but I could always use a .penis extension.

    Ah, so you're the guy who's always emailing me.

  9. Re:Catching Max Butler on A Hacker's Audacious Plan To Rule the Underground · · Score: 1

    I'm assuming this is a pseudonym? Or is he hiding abroad? Because if his real name is known, he can't be that hard to catch...

    Have you ever heard of this guy?

  10. Re:Mix Fun and Fair on Getting Started With Part-Time Development Work? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Dude, he's just showing a website/service he made. He's proud of it, and it sounds like it would actually be helpful in this instance. Why call him out? Just get over it.

    It was just a joke, sorry, I don't want anyone's shit on me :(

  12. Well this is obvious... on Anyone Besides Zune Owners With New Year's Crashes? · · Score: 5, Funny

    My Microsoft Windows desktop crashed sometime between 18:59:40 EST (GMT -5:00) and 19:00:00 EST (GMT -5:00) on Dec 31, 2008 which remarkably corresponds to within at most 20 seconds of the New Year in GMT. I have been running this same hardware non-stop for more than 5 hours and other than the occasional BSOD and Windows updates, it has not crashed more than 1 or 2 times in 174,237 seconds of cumulative uptime. Nothing other than spyware, malware, and System Idle Process were running at the time of the crash.

  13. Late but... on Best Introduction To Programming For Bright 11-14-Year-Olds? · · Score: 1

    Processing. Having dealt with that age group before, I know how crucial it is to have a fast and easily understood graphics API. Processing will allow them to create great apps in just a few hours, and also teach them some useful and transferable syntax. Java or C++ would not be out of the question after a few weeks in Processing.

  14. You got the ratio wrong! on Aussies Hit the Streets Over Gov't Internet Filters · · Score: 4, Funny

    will incorrectly block up to 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 Web pages out of 1 decillion.

    There, fixed that for you.

  15. Nice accident... on Accident Could Lead To Better Digital Cameras · · Score: 5, Funny

    Scientific accidents have brought some of the most groundbreaking discoveries - vulcanized rubber, X-rays, penicillin

    I like how they compare 3 things that have been unimaginably advantageous to the human race to something that will allow me to view better-quality porn.

    Also be sure to check out Dynect!

    DynDNS also offers another service, more business class. It has a MUCH more robust API, offers Failover, Load Balancing, Anycast, etc. Multiple users, node-based permissions. 37Signals, Mozilla, and RackSpace use Dynect. Highly recommended, give them a call!

  19. DynDNS Mailhop on Email-only Providers? · · Score: 1

    Mailhop Forward and Mailhop Outbound. Cheap, efficient, nobody will know you're using either of them.

    Outbound is simply an SMTP server that you can use. Forward is a mail server. You just add the appropriate MX records to the DNS.

    I mean, a server that can't do file sharing... wtf kind of server is that. And the asshat response didn't make me want to try getting help again.

    Funny how upset some people can get when their free (in both ways) software doesn't come with an official warranty or technical support.
