  1. Re:Updated on Microsoft Update Quietly Installs Firefox Extension · · Score: 1

    Score:5, Don't-give-them-ideas.

  2. Re:MAME / GP2X Wiz on Linux Ported To Dingoo A320 · · Score: 1

    How does the A320 compare to the Wiz in terms of hardware specifications?

  3. MAME / GP2X Wiz on Linux Ported To Dingoo A320 · · Score: 1

    So, could the Dingoo A320 run MAME decently? Is the GP2X Wiz a better buy?

  4. The Ferengi Rules of Acquisition on The Psychology of Collection and Hoarding In Games · · Score: 4, Funny

    Rule 284: Deep down, everyone's a Ferengi.

  5. Re:Two LCD matrices layered on top of each other? on OLPC Spinoff Pixel Qi Merges E-ink With LCD · · Score: 2, Informative

    E-paper only requires power to change the display, not to keep the image shown.

  6. Meh on ASUS Designs Monster Dual-GTX285 4GB Graphics Card · · Score: 1, Funny

    My intel GMA950 is still overkill for Diablo II and Starcraft.

    Please don't mention Diablo III or Starcraft II.

  7. Re:Global or just UK only? on Xbox To Get Live TV and Massive VOD Update · · Score: 1

    Actually Apple are the only ones offering a decent service to us Canadians. We have music, TV shows and movies available to us. I really like their 99 cents movie rentals of the week.

  8. Violate the laws of physics? on Acoustic "Superlens" Could Make Subs Invisible · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Researchers have previously developed materials that bend light in ways that appear to violate the laws of physics.

    If they have developed materials that bend light in ways that appear to violate the laws of physics, then it means the laws of physics need to be redefined. That's what science is. Formulas made from observations. New observations may modify your existing understanding of how things work.

    And if you can't accept that, you shouldn't call yourself a scientist.

  9. Re:Idiocy on Homeland Security To Scan Citizens Exiting US · · Score: 1
  10. Re:Can't wait for the first 'catch' on Homeland Security To Scan Citizens Exiting US · · Score: 1

    Ok. Now read the whole thing again with Brave Homeland Security Officer being played by Michael Kelso and Traveler being played by Fez.

    And now I'm gonna go change my pants.

  11. Re:HD, yeah.. on Zune HD Unveiled, Set For Fall Release · · Score: 1, Troll

    In this particular case, HD means "highly distorted".

  12. Re:So what's the news? Something subtle. on Creating a New Yorker Cover On the iPhone · · Score: 1

    Think about your current computer (don't care if it's a desktop or a laptop).

    Now think about getting the same processing power, memory and storage capacity... 20 or even 10 years ago.

  13. Re:24 hour charge?? on Green GT's All-Electric Supercar Unveiled · · Score: 3, Interesting

    How about Supercapacitors?

  14. Re:They're called digital cameras on Polaroid Lovers Try To Revive Its Instant Film · · Score: 1

    Good, then all I need is duct tape!

  15. Re:Digital Retro? on Polaroid Lovers Try To Revive Its Instant Film · · Score: 5, Funny

    Wow, I knew companies were quick to bring new products to market, but 3 minutes later and it's already available on amazon?

    Polaroid, color me impressed!

  16. Re:They're called digital cameras on Polaroid Lovers Try To Revive Its Instant Film · · Score: 2, Insightful

    So what you're saying is that we need built-in printer (whatever the printer type) as the next feature of digital cameras?

    That would be interesting, even if it's a niche market.

  17. Re:You see chaos, I see a level playing field on Sony CEO Proposes "Guardrails For the Internet" · · Score: 1

    And not only did Sony create their own format (Memory Stick, when SmartMedia, CompactFlash and MMC were already on the market) but they made a real mess on their side too (as of this writing, five different Memory Sticks). I won't even mention miniDisc and UMD.

  18. Re:Let them eat DRM on Sony CEO Proposes "Guardrails For the Internet" · · Score: 5, Funny

    Woo-hoo! Cake!

  19. Re:But with a complete absence of broken glass... on Sony CEO Proposes "Guardrails For the Internet" · · Score: 1

    Not to mention a complete absence of closed shops on the internet. Servers don't have "business hours", they run 24h/24h.

    Or does Micheal Lynton think there's a service operator that receives requests via email and then reply with a tune in file attach? Why mention "beyond store hours" at all? Has he just started using a computer and the internet like, two weeks ago?

  20. In mice, you say? on Virus Tamed To Attack Cancer, Cancer Drugs To Treat Alcoholism · · Score: 1

    Adenovirus is a DNA virus widely used in cancer therapy but which causes hepatic disease in mice.

    Yeah... you do know they're only doing that to confuse you, do you?

  21. Ubuntu kool-aid on Where To Buy A Machine With Linux Pre-Installed · · Score: 5, Funny

    Because, of course, not using Microsoft's Windows or Apple's Mac OS X isn't enough.

    You need to use an obscure Linux distro or else you'll still be a mindless sheep that other Linux users will laugh at.

    You're damned if you do, damned if you don't.

    I'll be at Milliways if anyone needs me.

  22. Re:Not surprising on Survey Finds Airport Wi-Fi More Important Than Food · · Score: 5, Funny

    The history of every major galactic civilisation has passed through three distinct and recognisable phases: those of survival, inquiry, and sophistication. Otherwise known as the 'How', 'Why', and 'Where' phases.

    For instance, the first phase is characterised by the question: "How can we eat?" The second by the question: "Why do we eat?" And the third by the question: "Where should we have lunch?"

  23. Re:There are ~1,308,361 American dead... on Don't Panic, It's Towel Day! · · Score: 1

    So, ten out of ten for an intelligent reply, but minus several million for not getting the reference.

  24. Re:There are ~1,308,361 American dead... on Don't Panic, It's Towel Day! · · Score: 1

    I don't think the district is big enough.

  25. Re:There are ~1,308,361 American dead... on Don't Panic, It's Towel Day! · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I'm Canadian, and I do have may 25th on my calendar.

    And it's Towel Day.
