  1. Re:Perhaps technology isn't always the answer... on Secrecy of Voting Machines Ballots At Risk · · Score: 1

    There was some analysis done on this later - finding a high correlation between probability of spoiled ballot and local socio-economic environment. Yes folks - stupid people get stuff wrong more often!

  2. Re:What's with the British today? on British Report Details the Stress of Email Communication · · Score: 1

    We don't go in for that middle initial crap here.

  3. Fascinating on Hotmail vs Goodmail · · Score: 5, Funny

    "I find your ideas fascinating, and I would like to subscribe to your newsletter"

  4. Re:What? on AO Rating Basically Bans Manhunt 2 From Release · · Score: 5, Funny

    I've got about as much desire to play Manhunt 2 as I do to attach electrodes to my nuts

    What, only at weekends?

  5. Re:How about joy? on Best Places To Work In IT · · Score: 1

    Completely subjective though, isn't it? The number of people at company X who are genuinely interested in product Y doesn't tell me anything about what sort of an outfit it is to work for...

  6. Re:Alternative? on Evolution of the 'Captcha' · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Nonsense. There are plenty of things humans are good at that computers are rubbish at. How about displaying four photographs with the question "which image contains a bottle?"

  7. Re:"America's Firemen"? on Using AI To Train Firefighters · · Score: 1

    >recovering pyrophobics

    Is *getting over* a fear of fire really a good thing? I think my fear of fire is a pretty healthy attribute, alongside my fear of lions, cyanide and axe-wielding nutjobs.

  8. Re:Landlines are better on Landline Holders Increasingly Older, More Affluent · · Score: 1

    >say if the neighbors want to tell you there's a fire next door

    I think most people would feel this warranted a personal visit, the old-fashioned way.

  9. Re:Actually, some Christians behave the same way. on Scientologists In Row With BBC · · Score: 1

    >you are probably fluent in NT Greek and can read the NT in the original

    Greek?! Are you sure?

  10. WTF? on IT's Big Spenders · · Score: 0, Troll

    >biz apps like the Vista operating system

    Whoever wrote this nonsense really needs to get off the drugs.

  11. The Dancing Paperclip on Only 244 Genuine Windows Vista's Sold in China · · Score: 1

    Clippit says... "It looks like you're trying to sell an operating system in China. Good luck with that."

  12. Re:If it were only so simple on Uncle Sam Earns C-minus Grade for PC Security · · Score: 0

    >and then wait 4-6 months for the document and its approval to weave it's way through the maze of middle management.

    ...only to have it rejected due to a misplaced apostrophe. Heartbreaking.

  13. Re:My two explanations on Utah Bans Keyword Advertising · · Score: 1

    Yes... but when I select an entry, I expect the address and phone number to relate to that entry. If the entry for John's Computer Emporium has the address and contact details for a competitor because the competitor paid the phonebook company to change them, that would be mildly irritating.

  14. Re:Where did the UK go wrong??? on Talking CCTV to Scold Offenders in UK · · Score: 1

    ... and in Soviet Russia - oh no, wait, um, forget it.

  15. Re:US? on Annual H-1B Visa Cap Met In One Day · · Score: 1

    >Scotland - we're possibly the most welcoming country in the world.

    We're not including English visitors in this, right?

  16. Re:False Advertising on To Verizon, "Unlimited" Means 5 GB · · Score: 2, Informative

    It is you who is mistaken - the TDA imposes criminal penalties.

  17. Re:Motorcycles on Smart Sunglasses · · Score: 1

    I know bikers are the sharpest knives in the drawer, but really...

    1. Stop bike
    2. Put on sunglasses
    3. ???
    4. Profit!

  18. Re:Attention on Space Debris Narrowly Misses Airliner · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Corrects the spelling of Chile and Russian, but gets "our" wrong. Tragic.

  19. Re:Whatever happened on Samsung's UpStage Looks To Trump iPhone · · Score: 1

    >Work stays at work for me

    That's inherent in flipping burgers for a living. There *is* a demand for smartphones, whether you like it or not - the fact that you personally have no use for one is a rather small sample on which to base the assumption that they're redundant.

  20. Re:Indeed? on Slobs Found To Be More Productive Than Neatniks · · Score: 1

    >co-worker nagging

    Ha ha! You trying telling a co-worker at an investment bank to tidy up his desk, and just see how long the conversation keeps him away from what he was doing. Jesus.

  21. Re:Saw a lady doing needle point as she drove down on Legislators Ponder BlackBerry Pileups · · Score: 3, Funny

    Actually this could be a counterexample. Studies have shown that people with a big spike in front of them instead of an airbag drive *far* more carefully...

  22. Re:Exactly on HDMI-Enabled Graphics Cards Debut · · Score: 1

    >the ubiqutous server-under-the-stairs

    Well, strictly it's not ubiquitous, it's only under-the-stairs.

  23. Re:Occam's Razor on Microsoft Takes a 'Patch Tuesday' Break · · Score: 2, Funny

    Don't be absurd. The simple explanation is that it's another evil Microsoft conspiracy to take over the world. How can you not see that?

  24. Re:Ohhh on RFID Passports Cloned Without Opening the Package · · Score: 1

    >Try reading for content next time.

    You must be new here...

  25. Progress! on Using Gym Rats' Body Power to Generate Electricity · · Score: 1

    Run 5 miles on a treadmill to charge up your electric car enough to drive you 2 miles?

    Why not just run to where you want to go...
