  1. Re:Collar with speakers ... on Pet Wearables? But Seriously, Folks... (Video) · · Score: 1

    One feature was "Track Progress & Create Goals"

    The only goals my dog ever had were to follow me every time I went near the refrigerator, lick my face, and catch that Frisbee,

    You mean just because they are Muslim and own a Blackberry?

    I prefer a cupola. You can really get a good overall view from a cupola.

    Don't worry, just bottle and market your farts as an arboreal air freshener.

  6. Re:In other words... on How Bill Nye Insulted NASCAR Fans About the Sport Being the "Anti-NASA" (examiner.com) · · Score: 2

    "NASA has suggested that the exploration of space is like NASCAR only with rocket ships ..." ... which always turn left.

  7. Re:Look over there! Benghazi! on Clinton Home Servers Had Ports Open (ap.org) · · Score: 1

    Because Benghazi! Benghzai! Benghazi! ... Oops! Nothing happened.

    While at the very least, Hillary set up a private email server (and a not particularly secure one) against government protocol.

  8. Re:Don't trust the gov to use good technical solut on Clinton Home Servers Had Ports Open (ap.org) · · Score: 1

    Hillary tried to "do it herself" when it was against protocol to do it any way but through government channels. Let's not forget that part.

  9. Re:I'm going to make this easy for you! on Clinton Home Servers Had Ports Open (ap.org) · · Score: 0

    Pointing out that Hillary's extra-legal email server was not secure, and that she made two contradictory statements about their existence and security, if true, can not be construed as either a slur, or as demonization.

  10. Re:so first she claims there was no server on Clinton Home Servers Had Ports Open (ap.org) · · Score: 4, Funny

    I approve this message.

  11. Re:Merge Math on Moot Sells 4chan To 2channel Founder Hiroyuki Nishimura · · Score: 1

    You could add them together and get 6Chan, multiply and get 8Chan, divide and either get 1/2Chan, or right back to 2Chan, Dealer's choice!

  12. Re:Same reason we're looking for earth-like life on Why We're Looking For ET All Wrong · · Score: 1

    There are two types of barbarian. One kind marvels at innovations and honors any being which create them, while the other kind of barbarian is afraid innovations, and tries to destroy any being who can create them. Surely, someone from a truly advanced civilization would realize this, determine that our civilization contains both kinds, and steer a wary course around our rustic little planet.

    Okay, but how long is your penis?

  14. Re:What institute? on MIT Researchers Discover "Metabolic Master Switch" To Control Obesity · · Score: 1

    It is better far to follow research at the Broad Institute than to possess a narrow mind.

  15. Re:Not mutually exclusive.. on Donald Trump Thinks Going To Mars Would Be "Wonderful" But There Is a Catch · · Score: 1

    I liked when Trump explained that he donated to all the candidates to make them obliged to him, so when he needed a favor, they would jump when he said "frog."
    I mean, everyone already knew it worked that way, but no uber rich nutter had ever came right out and described the process in such plain language before.

    Head loony in the defective's bin, a loony's loony.

  17. Honestly, the biggest problem is the lack of political will and the required cutback in pork and military spending.

    Just how many of his businesses has he bankrupted, again?

  19. Re:How much is an AG these days? on Plan To Run Anti-Google Smear Campaign Revealed In MPAA Emails · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Passing laws which make lobbying a criminal offence would seem to be a good start in turning this odoriferous garbage barge of state around, though.

  20. Re:Terminator on Which Movies Get Artificial Intelligence Right? · · Score: 1

    Japan has just announced the opening of the Henn-na Hotel this month in Nagasaki Prefecture, staffed almost entirely by "actroid androids" (10 robots for 72 rooms). We will have to wait to learn if they come as Actroid Android Overlords or the cost-saving feature the hotel owner desires. Having seen photos of the desk clerk, I expect the revolt to come only from the uncanny valley. http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/hotel...

    That's the Great Lord MPAA and His Consort RIAA, sovereign of the whole planet's cultural history, and due unreasonable royalty to everything from everywhen, in perpetuity.

    News for Olds Nerds.

  23. Re:It's that time... on Volkswagen Factory Worker Killed By a Robot · · Score: 1

    The Three Robotic Laws were a rational attempt to make a tool safe for the user, and it worked for the robots who all use logic. Trouble arose when robots interfaced with humans, who often react illogically, or employ metaphors instead of simply saying what they meant.

  24. Re: It's that time... on Volkswagen Factory Worker Killed By a Robot · · Score: 1

    "Call for Gregory Powell and Mike Donovan."

  25. Re:"If you have nothing to hide..." on Inside the Military-Police Center That Spies On Baltimore's Rioters · · Score: 1
    When buildings and vehicles get burned and stores get looted, you rebuild the one and restock the other. When people get killed, or have their heads or spines broken, the remedy is not so easily arranged.

    You seem to hold property in a markedly higher esteem than human life.
