  1. Hehe on New Hack Exploits Common Programming Error · · Score: 3, Funny

    ...which is why all my dangling pointers have unfree'd memory at the end of them just in case ;)

  2. Re:Finally on Humans Evolved From a Single Origin In Africa · · Score: 1

    This evidence proves conclusively without a doubt that there is a 100% chance that humans either evolved from pirates, were created by God, or both. Case closed! I much prefer my original misreading of your comment, as above. Being evolved from pirates would explain a lot about life, me hearties.
  3. Passwords on Gadgets Have Taken Over For Our Brains · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Maybe we're forgetting al this stuff because
    a) we know we don't need to remember it
    b) we've displaced the storage space with the massive variety of passwords we need to remember these days

  4. Translation for Linux fanbois on Giant Squid Washed Ashore in Australia · · Score: 5, Funny

    A proxy with a memory leak has segfaulted at Australia's ioctl interface.

    Debuggers are taking core samples for analysis.

  5. Re:Pwned by muscle memory on A Flawed US Election Reform Bill · · Score: 1

    Type "Wii" to much Just to pre-empt the pedants, yes, I did mean "too" and not "to".

    I feel your pain kdawson. The force is strong between us.
  6. Pwned by muscle memory on A Flawed US Election Reform Bill · · Score: 5, Funny

    Type "Wii" to much and you start producing words like "Biill".

    I knew I was a PHP ubergeek when I found myself typing "mysql" automatically whenever I meant to type "myself" in e-mails (and I did it typing this sentence and had to correct it, I kid you not!).

  7. Re:blue zig AYB. on Bogus Company Obtains Nuclear License · · Score: 2, Funny

    "Oh no, someone has set us up the bomb!" That's too obvious - you should've tried the lolcat approach:

    "Im in ur Nuclear Regulatory Commission discrediting ur security measures"

    Now that's one hell of a cat.
  8. Contextual instructions on Robotic Ecologies · · Score: 2, Funny

    When I utter the instruction, "Squash!" to my building, I sincerely hope it delivers a diluted, fruit-flavoured drink rather than attempt to compress me into a small cube...

  9. Careful now on Optimus Keyboard Pre-Orders In Mere Hours · · Score: 1

    Great, as soon as I've figured out how to stop my wife/kids dropping food crumbs/coffee into it I'll order this funky new keyboard. Previously not been too bothered about chucking an old one and replacing with a new one for this reason. So as much as I'd love to own something so geek-attractingly cool, I'll have to pass this time...

  10. Re:"...by anyones definition" on The First Terabyte Hard Drive Reviewed · · Score: 1

    Note to future self: remember when 1 terabyte was considered a lot of storage? those were the days.... You'd think so wouldn't you?

    Some video-on-demand broadcasters serve video from a server system containing 2TiB of RAM (yes, RAM!). A 1TB HDD just doesn't seem very impressive after that. :P

  11. itsatrap on Microsoft Votes to Add ODF to ANSI Standards List · · Score: 0, Troll

    Is the wolf being friendly to the sheep?

  12. Re:Sun and IBM? on IBM and Sun Launch Intranet Metaverses · · Score: 1

    Before you start solutioneering, lets have a sense check and rationalise the paradigm shift towards metaverse solution providers. I want this project firing on all cylinders! Ratify some face-time - I'd like to stir-fry some ideas in your mind-wok.

  13. Re:well what ISPs released the info? i want to avo on Even My Mom Could Hack These Sites · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I'd go out on a limb and suggest that none of this really occurred and what he's really doing is showing off a huge social experiment about how people will talk about nothing. If he really did find something viable out he would definitely offer up the names and contact information of these companies so that people could complain and drop their services. 1: "Aaaah, now I know who these weak companies are I can be pretty sure of hacking some sites they host!".
    2: Ill gained PROFIT!!!

    It is responsible of the poster to not reveal which companies have weaknesses he has discovered.
  14. Trusted source on 40M Vista Licenses in 100 Days · · Score: 1

    40 million sold according to Microsoft.

    In other news, my "jump off a cliff onto a rusty spike" (JOACOARS) extreme sport has taken off - now enjoyed by tens of thousands! So many people think it's great that you're bound to enjoy it too - roll up, roll up!

  15. Do not press this button on Click Here To Infect Your PC! · · Score: 1

    It's just like telling children "don't touch that". It only makes it more alluring...

  16. Finally... on The Shape of the Future · · Score: 2, Funny

    ..when we get to 4. PROFIT!!! we can rewind a step and see what the hell 3. ???? was that people keep banging on about.

  17. MOD PARENT UP on Scientologists In Row With BBC · · Score: 1

    Very good points regarding the impartiality of sources, especially Wikipedia, when it comes to reading up on Scientology.

  18. Especially worrying on Scientologists In Row With BBC · · Score: 5, Informative

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Church_of_Scientology _Moscow_versus_Russia

    This is a recent development - in April the European court of human rights decided that it was against EU law for Russia to deny Scientology religeon status - a judgement that applies to all EU member states including the UK and Germany (who have previously been quite outspoken against it).

    May I draw people's attention to http://www.xenu.net/

    Scientology - the cult pyramid scheme

  19. Re:That's interesting. on Culture Determines Which Emoticon You Use · · Score: 1

    That's interesting, because when I use emoticons, I generally tend to use the eye-emphasising forms - ^_^, ^.^ or even ^^. In fact, I'm using the first of these considerably less often than the latter two, where the eyes are even more prominent and all other facial features are reduced to just a single dot (representing the nose, in my interpretation) or removed entirely. Heh, I'm all for emphasising the fist in smileys, thus:

    (9-.-)9
  20. Fine by me... on Harvard Prof Says Computers Need to Forget · · Score: 1

    ...but needs some context.

    Quite happy for my old e-mails and old student website to be "forgotten" (makes me cringe looking on the Wayback Machine, hope my kids never find it).

    Not so happy for my old digital photos to be forgotten. After all, I took those because I wanted to preserve information for the future - the purpose of most photos.

    Definitely needs to be context-aware.

  21. Mhmmm on Fast Navigating Guessing Robots · · Score: 2, Funny

    ...sounds like just the excuse I need to place spinning blades around random corners in the office "to fend off any attacking robot overlords".

  22. Don't worry... on Earth Bacteria May Hitch A Ride To The Stars · · Score: 4, Funny

    ...we'll send all the telephone sanitisers after the discarded rocket stages to clear up any unwanted bacteria. Get 'em loaded in the arc!

  23. Hah! on Comcast CEO Shows Off Superfast Modem · · Score: 2, Funny

    They'll all cower before my "uberfast" modem, which bonds an unspecified number of tight strings to give a speed increase up to 09f911029d74e35bd84156c5635688c0 times greater than reading a DVD a byte at a time over the phone to your mate with a hex editor.

  24. SoC on Social Computing and Badger's Paws · · Score: 2, Insightful

    SoC, Geelan notes, has already become an academic field of study. But perhaps Social Computing too is just badger's paws?" It certainly is, since SoC traditionally stands for System on Chip.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System-on-a-chip

    Clearly "Social Computing" doesn't have much to do with, well... computing.
  25. Re:No net connection? on Wikipedia Releases Offline CD · · Score: 1

    People without net connections might have friends I'd have stopped your sentence right there. :)
