  1. Leave the free CD market alone! on Music Industry Attacks Free Prince CD · · Score: 3, Funny

    You're just going to end up ruining it for everyone else when the government notices the lucrative market for free CDs and applies a whopping 300% tax. I hope you're happy now.

  2. Re:X-43A? on First Ever Scramjet Reaches Mach 10 · · Score: 1

    Ah, you did the grad student experience, too?

  3. Re:I know what it is, I know what it is! on Matter Discovered Traveling at Near Light Speed · · Score: 1

    Bah! The Planet Express ship doesn't move! It moves the universe around itself, interestingly providing a definite reference point for physical phenomena... hmm.

  4. Re:It's a feature! on Vista Not Playing Well With IPv6 · · Score: 1

    Ah-ha! You've discovered the undocumented, but terribly useful, user-papercut-protection device! It doesn't work that well. I mean, sure it pops up that stupid "Are you sure you wish to receive a papercut?" message box, but people have become so numb to those that everyone just chooses "OK." Even in those rare cases that they don't actually want a papercut.
  5. Re:Lies, not Truth, Appeal to the American Voter on McCain Wants Ballmer For His Cabinet · · Score: 1

    No, chairisma is an attribute unique to the Microsoft CEO prestige class, but he does get a +5 to bluff rolls.

  6. Re:Top starcraft? on Can Blizzard Top StarCraft? · · Score: 1

    My reply would be "We Love Katamari."

    I'm sure there's a slim possibility that Blizzard can top Starcraft. I'm not confident enough at this point to bet money on it, however.

  7. Re:Of course it crashed.. on Linux (Car) Crashes At Indy 500 · · Score: 2, Insightful

    My favorite industrial era border is that one the Romans build in England.

  8. Re:impervious to water, how about body heat? on Polyethylene Bulletproof Vests Better Than Kevlar · · Score: 3, Funny

    I hear Endor's a pretty easy assignment.

  9. Re:Love this part on Molyneux Slips Additional Details on Fable II · · Score: 2, Funny

    That word is "it." Yes, that's right, Fable II will have segways, a revolution in transportation.

  10. Re:Eek! on How Bad Can Wi-fi Be? · · Score: 4, Funny

    That's what the man wants you to think.

  11. Re:Where's the Cease and Desist? on Why Microsoft Won't List Claimed Patent Violations · · Score: 1

    "High energy physicist?" If I win, do I get a pony to eat?

  12. Re:Yes. on Congress May Outlaw 'Attempted Piracy' · · Score: 1

    The only difference this time is that the Attorney General is attempting to submit the law himself to give it more credibility.

    He certainly brings oodles and oodles of credibility to all those memorable moments. I'll give a few examples when I can recall them.

  13. Re:1 in 10? on Google to be Our Web-Based Anti-Virus Protector ? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Statistically, it's probably a safe bet to automatically tag the first post as such:

    1) In Soviet Russia, first post, for one, welcomes our new Cowboy Neal overlords that can run linux on beowulf goatse clusters of this article was submitted three years ago, you stupid editors.
    2)?????
    3) Profit

  14. Re:Why is this news? on Australian Extradited For Breaking US Law At Home · · Score: 1

    In Oklahoma, we were only presented with the option to vote for a Republican or a Democrat. If we wish for neither to become president, then we have no option other than not voting.

  15. Oh, it's no big deal. on Breakpoints have now been patented · · Score: 1

    Thank goodness most programmers write perfect code the first time around, else this could really cause problems.

  16. Re:Oil Companies on Quantum Dot Recipe May Lead To Cheaper Solar Panels · · Score: 1

    Don't forget that some places also offer a third degree path in "evil education." But, they tend to not really know a whole lot of core evil material.

  17. Re:Sad, but not that sad. on Former Red Octane Staff Prohibited from Music Games · · Score: 1

    Bryce, is that you? I certainly agree with the low opinion of John Tam. (I was one of the DDR Freak members at E3 2005. Konami main representative, Jason Enos, was wonderfully gracious, but John Tam was a real dick.)

  18. Re:Since you brought it up... on Stephen Hawking Says Universe Created from Nothing · · Score: 1

    Hmm, here, try this. It's the Halting Algorithm. I'm not sure when it'll be done, though. Let me run the Halting Algorithm on it. Hrm... one more try...

  19. Re:This is not good! on Possible Cure For Autism · · Score: 1

    So, you had to read the Macbeth candle monologue in grade school, too, eh?

  20. Re:Monitoring them will not work on Breakdown Forces New Look At Mars Mission Sexuality · · Score: 2, Interesting

    WoW raiding is still a manner of human interaction, simply more controllable and with an easy exit strategy. I think they'd be quicker to go apeshit due to withdrawal from the game.

  21. Re:I'll let you into a secret about Britain on How Can We Convert the US to the Metric System? · · Score: 1

    And in Texas, an M16 is about two meters long.

  22. Death of the Undying Monstrosity. on SCO Bankruptcy "Imminent, Inevitable" · · Score: 1

    Does this mean Duke Nukem Forever's finally coming out?

  23. Re:Tip of the day on Microsoft Gets Help From NSA for Vista Security · · Score: 1

    Yes, yes he does, and it caused an uproar in the international community when Israel's plans to winnuke his nuclear program were mistranslated.

  24. Re:Obligatory DNF reference on The Japanese/American Tech Deficit · · Score: 1

    They did have it, but it referenced Taiwan as an independant nation, so China banned the game and destroyed all known copies.

  25. Practical Application of Math: Word Problems on Math Skills Survey Shows U.S. Lags Behind · · Score: 1

    Many of my students (who tend to be American) complain about how the math they learn has no basis in reality. When presented with a practical application, they piss and moan about how much they hate word problems.

    I'm sure that they would do much better in practical applications of math if they were better at reading English.
