  1. Re:Bad Apple on Hands On With the BlackBerry Torch 9800 · · Score: 4, Funny

    A job at Research in Motion.

  2. Re:Looks nifty assuming no one crashes into the ra on The Bus That Rides Above Traffic · · Score: 1

    Don't they have stop signs or traffic lights in China? I just can't believe what I just saw.

  3. Re:Shades of Oakland on The Bus That Rides Above Traffic · · Score: 1

    Not to mention that the angle/point of view of that Jeep is completely wrong relative to the rest of the image. Also note how that artist rendering (the "bus", anyway) looks much better than the photo of the prototype at the beginning of the article.

  4. Re:Opinions are a crime now? on Tor Developer Detained At US Border, Pressed On Wikileaks · · Score: 1

    Maybe it's the new nemesis of The Doctor?

  5. Re:UFFSA on Tor Developer Detained At US Border, Pressed On Wikileaks · · Score: 1

    Peoples Democratic Republic of America, A.K.A. Wal-Mart?

  6. Re:Irony on The Sun Unleashes Coronal Mass Ejection At Earth · · Score: 2, Funny

    Something made out of iron?

  7. 3D can't give you headaches on Why Bad 3D, Not 3D Glasses, Gives You Headaches · · Score: 1

    Real life is in real 3D* and it's all around you every day.

    The problem really is bad technology that tries to re-create a pseudo-3D effect via two flat 2D images with a fixed viewpoint.

    * Note to cyclops and other one-eye beings: even if you can't see it, it's in 3D anyway.

  8. Re:The glasses can do it too ... on Why Bad 3D, Not 3D Glasses, Gives You Headaches · · Score: 1

    Calling them "2d movies" is unpolitically correct. They prefer to be called "Z-challenged movies".

  9. Re:And they will call this device... on Defeating Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle · · Score: 1

    Haven't you learned anything? If you do that, you'll find out that this isn't reality and that we're all stuck in the Holodeck!

  10. Re:Great musicians have embraced new technology on Broadway Musicians Replaced With Synthesizers · · Score: 1

    As a more modern example, Jean Michel Jarre based his whole career on synthesizers. I don't really like his latest works, but his 1970-1980 albums really are classics.

  11. Re:Well, just send the sys admin on Mars Rover Spirit May Never Wake From Deep Sleep · · Score: 1

    No wonder the space program doesn't seem to be doing any progress lately. They should be at Area 92 by now!

  12. Re:Disneyland on An iPhone App Store That Apple Doesn't Control · · Score: 1

    I would place a bet on zoophilia instead.

  13. Re:I wished they would stop ... on 1-in-1,000 Chance of Asteroid Impact In ... 2182? · · Score: 1

    It's 50/50. It either hits us or it does not. /duck

  14. Re:Russian rolette on 1-in-1,000 Chance of Asteroid Impact In ... 2182? · · Score: 1

    How many bullets per revolver? It may have 5, 6, 10 or more.

  15. Re:moot on 1-in-1,000 Chance of Asteroid Impact In ... 2182? · · Score: 1

    The Romans messed up calendar dates and years so much that what we think is going to be 2182 will in fact be 2012.

  16. Re:I'll probably be dead by then, right? on 1-in-1,000 Chance of Asteroid Impact In ... 2182? · · Score: 1

    Unless you're religious, then it was by the will of the Flying Spaghetti Monster (blessings upon His Holy Name).

    That's heresy! The Invisible Pink Unicorn shall kill you, whether you're looking out or not!

  17. Re:I'll probably be dead by then, right? on 1-in-1,000 Chance of Asteroid Impact In ... 2182? · · Score: 1

    All you need is sharp, pointy sticks

    Alien 1: It seems the earthlings won.

    Alien 2: Did they? That board with a nail in it may have defeated us. But the humans won't stop there. They'll make bigger boards and bigger nails, and soon, they will make a board with a nail so big, it will destroy them all!

    [both aliens laugh evilly, for quite some time]

  18. Re:isn't that the point? on HDMI Labeling Requirements Promise a Stew of Confusion · · Score: 1

    Oops. I should have sugar-coated that with some intellectual discourse to obscure that simple truth... Oh well.

    The more expensive it is, the deeper the shade of pink is going to be.

  19. Re:Wow... on HDMI Labeling Requirements Promise a Stew of Confusion · · Score: 1

    That's like refusing to buy a DVD burner for backup because you're afraid of DRM on DVDs.

    Finally! I can stop using those 1.44MB floppies!

  20. Re:Any sufficiently advanced technology... on Apple Launches New Magical Trackpad, 12 Core Macs · · Score: 1

    Depending on the work your "art guys" do, the Mac Pro might have had more expandability for RAM (editing printed material can eat up RAM like crazy) and hard drives (since you can't argue that SATA is faster than even FireWire 800), and on the next upgrade cycle you won't pay for the monitors again (if that was included in your pricing, which I hope it was).

  21. Re:Anyone remember the SIDstation? on The Chipophone — an 8-Bit Chiptune Organ · · Score: 1
  22. Re:Proving What on Earth As an Extrasolar Planet · · Score: 1

    Mars used to have free oxygen but it combined with iron in the soil, turning it red: Iron Oxide.

    So life originated on Mars, we screwed things up, were able to move to earth and now we're screwing things up again. Great.

  23. Re:Speculation on Google Schedules Chrome 6, 7, and 8 For This Year · · Score: 1

    First post gives the most plausible explanation. Congratulations, AC!

  24. Re:Pocket XBox, anyone? on Microsoft Signs License With ARM · · Score: 2, Funny

    Is that a fire in your pants or are you just happy to see me?
