  1. Re:Ah what does it matter... on Math Advance Suggest RSA Encryption Could Fall Within 5 Years · · Score: 5, Funny
    You pay a fraction of your income to have someone watching you all the time.

    It's a great deal if you're an exhibitionist!

  2. Re:As John Crapper intended? on The Latest Security Vulnerability: Your Toilet · · Score: 3, Funny

    I certainly hope "Ready to Receive" is its default position, because I'd sure hate to run through the pre flight checklist whilst doing the happy toilet dance.

    There's a steam powered /.?

  5. Wrong place for humor. on Fidus Writer: Open Source Collaborative Editor For Non-Geek Academics · · Score: 1

    Seeing that illustration of “The Book of Mormon” under a headline which stated that “Fidus Writer can now create entire books,” I assumed you were claiming that Joseph Smith “translated” it using Fidus Writer? I must confess, I was a trifle dubious.

  6. Re:go canada on Strict New Anti-Spam Regulations In Canada · · Score: 1

    I guess you missed Bills C-30 and C-46 which would have forced ISP's to give police access to information on all Canadian Internet subscribers and all their private communications – without a court warrant.

    And you must have also missed Vic Toews, former Conservative Minister of Public Safety, saying to an opponent that "he can either stand with us or with the child pornographers."

    If Canada is doing anything right, its on account of it's citizenry fighting back against its government.

  8. Re:But remember kids on The Little Bomb-Detecting Device That Couldn't · · Score: 1

    Health care insurance doesn't mean the government actually takes out your gall bladder, they just pay for having it taken out with taxpayer money. The government is good at spending taxpayer money, but not half so good as the insurance companies are at siphoning off profits. But then, who ever heard of a government making money?

    "... the enemy of my enemy is my friend..."

    No, the enemy of my enemy is my enemy's enemy, so I'll just sit back and watch them swat each other while I eat popcorn.

    That flap of protective skin sounds like a good idea.

    I really hate it when cold winds blow snow into my anus.

    The free range or caged elephant burgers will be marketed as Hortonburgers, and feral or wild elephant burgers will be marketed as Tantorburgers.

    The cloned Wooly Mammoth, however, won't be raised for meat, they will be herded for their wool. And the annual spring wool clip will be a real sonuvabitch!

    ... hey, I've evidently got nothing else to do!

    That was my diagnosis after reading your first post. And confirmed by a second post.

  19. Re:Well the ultimate value of Bitcoin is on BitCoin Value Collapses, Possibly Due To DDoS · · Score: 2

    "Isn't there an ongoing debate whether bitcoin is a "commodity" or a "currency" or both? ..." That's like the wave–particle duality in quantum theory. Bitcoin is a curmodity.

    Has it occurred to you that war itself is an antisocial activity, which may be why sociopaths do so well for the military during times of war?
