  1. Didn't... on Lindows Changes Name to 'Linspire' · · Score: 1

    So they didn't have the balls to change to 'Linosoft', eh?

  2. Re:How will this help Gas prices? on U.S. Justice Department Prepares Assault on Pr0n · · Score: 5, Funny

    It won't directly help lower gas prices. However, it will force us to walk places more often to burn off the calories that we used to lose doing other things.

  3. Re:Ha! on Humanoid Robot Conducts Beethoven Symphony · · Score: 1

    If your dancing is anything like mine, then saying those robots dance better than you isn't saying very much.

  4. Re:Mugging on iPod: This Season's Must-Have for Muggers · · Score: 1

    That means a realistic looking handgun in a neighborhood full of the type of people who would mug someone over an iPod. Not something that I would be willing to try, but don't let me stop you.

  5. Re:Real Soon Now... ? on Nuclear Fusion Real Soon Now · · Score: 2, Funny

    My 1 year old turned into a 3 year old the last time I went shopping with my wife and kid.

  6. Re:Lawyer Central? on HardOCP Sues Infinium Over Legal Threats · · Score: 0

    Before I figured out that IANAL stood for "I Am Not A Layer", the whole "I anal" thing at the start of all those posts had me very confused.

  7. They should... on TeacherReviews.com Forced Offline · · Score: 1

    They should implement a moderation system similar to that of /. Obviously it wouldn't be perfect, but it would help weed out the reviews that are completely false or biased.

  8. Haiku... on 'Mouse-Tronaughts' to Test Low-Gravity in Space · · Score: 1

    Mice is space is good
    But what if they procreate?
    Count heads at liftoff

  9. Mice leaving... on 'Mouse-Tronaughts' to Test Low-Gravity in Space · · Score: 2, Funny

    Mice leaving the planet... what do they know that we don't?

  10. Re:To which the sage answer on The Golden Ratio · · Score: 2, Funny

    And they respond by kicking you in the shin again.

  11. There she blows! on Rosetta, the Comet Hunter · · Score: 1

    "Towards thee I roll, thou all-destroying but unconquering whale; to the last I grapple with thee; from hell's heart I stab at thee; for hate's sake, I spit my last breath at thee. Sink all coffins and hearses to one common pool! and since neither can be mine, let me then tow to pieces, while still chasing thee, though tied to thee, thou damned whale! Thus, I give up the spear!"

    Decade long hunt... Harpoons... Big ass prey...

    I think I've heard this story before

  12. Re:RTFA! on Columbia's Final Minutes in Detail · · Score: 1

    He probably has a learning disability, you insensitive clod!

  13. Haiku... on Apple History At folklore.org · · Score: 1

    Bicycle rider More efficient than eagles Get out of his way

  14. Re:Bicycle on Apple History At folklore.org · · Score: 1

    You have obviously never ridden a horse.

  15. Haiku... on A First Look At Meridiani Planum · · Score: 2, Funny

    First ever bedrock
    Hematite means H2O
    Dark terrain for Mars

  16. IIRC... on A First Look At Meridiani Planum · · Score: 5, Insightful

    IIRC 'planum' is Latin for 'plain', which Meridiani Planum certainly looks to be from those pictures. Wouldn't it have been more worthwhile to drop this rover near some mountains, or like Spirit, in a crater? Seems like there would be more geologically important sites to investigate in those types of terrain. Also, shouldn't the heat shield make a crater of its own? After it seperated it just slammed into Mars without any kind of parachute. Is it close enough to reach and would it be worth investigated the hole it's impact created?

  17. Haiku... on Australian Firm Asks SCO To Detail Evidence · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    SCO is fraud
    Any AC can see that
    Cyber Knights save day

  18. Re:Oh, sweet irony on Cell Phone Is The Most Hated Invention · · Score: 1, Informative

    Have you thought about a pay-as-you-go system? For someone like me who only uses cell phones for emergencies they work out pretty well.

  19. Re:No need to count noses on splashdown on Mice In Space · · Score: 0

    What if they split it evenly between males and females and encouraged them to reproduce? I don't know how long it takes for mice to give birth or how long they plan to keep it in space, but it could have some benefits. What does it hurt to let it play out? If we ever try to colonize a reduced-G and/or cosmic-ray receiving environment it would be helpful to know some of the effects it has on birth and growth.

  20. Re:Here's an interesting idea on FBI Conducts Raids Over Half-Life 2 Source Theft · · Score: 0

    I'm willing to bet that the FBI already managed to seize the contents of his fridge.

  21. 69%? on Internet Use Grows to 69 Percent of US Adults · · Score: -1, Redundant

    69 percent... Kind of odd that it's that number, considering the number of adults who mostly use the Internet for porn.

  22. Re:Does it run Linux?! on MIDI Keyboard/Computer: Neko64 · · Score: 1

    This site claims that all "common" formats are supported. Also claims that can interface with Firewire and USB, so I'm sure you could hack if it doesn't come with support.

  23. Re:that tells me on Women Buy More Tech Than Men · · Score: 1

    Parent modded funny, but there is definitely truth to that, especially when dealing with tech products. According to this article, when buying things online, men seem to do a better job of comparison shopping.

  24. Re:1280x800 ... WHY?! on 64 Bit Athlon Notebooks Hit the Market · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Dude, you're getting a Dell!!!

  25. DVD screeners... on Ohio Also Passes Law Against Recording In Cinema · · Score: 1

    I was under the impression that most of the high quality videos available on P2P were from DVD screeners sent out to awards judges. If the movie execs really want to curb the tide of illegally available movies, they need to time their releases so that there is no need to send out DVD screeners.
