  1. Re:What's an "inch"? on Seagate Hits 1 Terabit Per Square Inch · · Score: 2

    Let's bring back hogsheads and firkins!

  2. Too bad we are in the post-desktop era on Seagate Hits 1 Terabit Per Square Inch · · Score: 1

    Look forward to 60TB cellphones!

  3. My favorite psychic-related news headline on Psychic Ability Claim Doesn't Hold Up In New Scientific Experiments · · Score: 1

    "Psychic Network Goes Out of Business Due to Unforeseen Financial Difficulties"

  4. Well he got a jury trial instead of a plea bargain on Rutgers Student Ravi Convicted of Bias Intimidation and Spying · · Score: 0

    So much for asking for a jury trial so you can crash the justice system.

  5. Re:Time frame written incorrectly? on Watch How the Moon Was Formed · · Score: 1

    I think it's a tilde ~ not a minus -. I assume it means approx. 4.5 billion years ago.

  6. Re:Are passwords really that hard to remember? on Multiword Passwords Secure Or Not? · · Score: 4, Funny

    My granddaughter thinks it's too hard to defrost a frozen bagel before eating it. You want the youth of America to practice typing passwords? Ha!

  7. Re:City overpaying? on Astroturfing For Speed Cameras · · Score: 1

    I thought it was any city in Louisiana! Or maybe Georgia where the police profit by confiscation of property.

  8. Re:You realize you're talking about PHONE apps on Battleheart Developer Drops Android As 'Unsustainable' · · Score: 1
    No.

    I'm just old and liked things the way they were before the birds got angry and moved to a screen I can't read.

  9. You realize you're talking about PHONE apps on Battleheart Developer Drops Android As 'Unsustainable' · · Score: -1, Troll

    Really? People are trying to make a living programming for a phone with a crappy display, high data costs and an OS with the lifetime of a katydid? This is pitiful.

  10. Re:How ergonomic! on The Windows 8 Power Struggle: Metro Vs Desktop · · Score: 4, Funny

    Wow! You have a cell phone with two 22-inch monitors? I guess it's the only way to play Angry Elephants.

  11. Re:units? on The Tech Behind James Cameron's Trench-Bound Submarine · · Score: 1

    Should be 110 300 000Pa

  12. Re:Still don't want one on Apple Unveils New iPad · · Score: 1

    I want a keyboard and USB and printing and...

  13. I just need the right words... on Spider Silk Spun Into Violin Strings · · Score: 2

    I need a pithy quip involving spiders and violins. Where is the Phil Silvers handbook of humor when you need it?! Damn!

  14. So cool, but on DARPA-Funded 'Cheetah' Breaks Speed Record For Legged Robots · · Score: 2
    1) 18mph is "terrifyingly fast" now?

    2) I can't tell the head from the tail.

  15. No problem as long as everyone is above average. on Scientists Say People Aren't Smart Enough For Democracy To Flourish · · Score: 1
  16. Does this ISO even work? on Now in English: VALO-CD Open Source Software Collection · · Score: 1

    I've tried downloading it twice. The CD I burned was not useable and using MagicISO to mount it also failed. ???

  17. Re:Japan and Europe is where the industry is on Chevy Volt Meets High Resistance, GM Suspends Sales · · Score: 1

    I'm curious what happened to kill the 850. I assume it became too expensive to fix whatever broke? What was it exactly?

  18. This is your mom on Car Hacking Concerns On the Rise · · Score: 1

    Your car with bluetooth is unsafe.

  19. Re:Alcubierre warp-drives already proven impossibl on Warp Drives May Come With a Killer Downside · · Score: 1

    Certainly impossible to spell.

  20. Damn, it's always something! on Warp Drives May Come With a Killer Downside · · Score: 1

    And here I thought we were going to get a warp drive without having to solve any difficult problems!

  21. Case of mistaken identity on RIAA CEO Hopes SOPA Protests Were a "One-Time Thing" · · Score: 1

    If it weren't for the fact that these guys were trying to protect bad music, they would be mistaken for a nut-case religious cult spouting their "I know I'm right" dogma.

  22. Re:Who could have foreseen a leap year coming? on Azure Failure Was a Leap Year Glitch · · Score: 1

    It's not like they announce leap years ahead of time!

  23. How does anyone digest 5 million emails? on WikiLeaks Begins Releasing Stratfor Internal Emails · · Score: 1

    Any clue how anyone would deal with 5 million documents? How could anyone read them to draw some conclusion about evildoing? The infamous Wikileaks pile from the US govt. was "only" 300000 or so.

  24. Including partial truths is a very effective way to get a lie across. This is the Rush Limbaugh method. Although in this case it is likely 1 fake doc for every 10 real ones instead of the other way around.

  25. I'd like to comment on your comment. They are going to sue anyone with the initials "AC". I feel good commenting on this because, according to the Heartland site, they support "Ideas That Empower People". They also admit that some of the stolen documents are genuine. Why not just claim that everything made public is a fabrication?
