  1. Threw a set away on Feds Ban 'Buckyballs' Magnets · · Score: 1

    I threw away a set recently, although my main concern was my two large dogs, not my 2 year old daughter. Also, obligatory Onion... http://www.theonion.com/articles/fun-toy-banned-because-of-three-stupid-dead-kids,290/

  2. Re:iDevice on iOS 5 Update Available · · Score: 3, Funny

    Wow, Siri's speech-to-text is horrible!!

  3. Re:Actual Post on Netflix Creates Qwikster For DVD Only Business · · Score: 2

    From the blog post: "Another advantage of separate websites is simplicity for our members." I really don't know how someone can say/write that with a straight face.

  4. New acronym? on OK Go Goes HTML5 · · Score: 1

    tmb;dw (Too much bulge; didn't watch)

  5. Re:Step back a bit... on Portables Without Cameras? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    How dare they leave off those attacks from 1952 and 1954 from their list of terrorist attacks from 1961-2003! Conspiracy!!

  6. Re:I wouldn't particularly worry on US Declares Public Health Emergency Over Swine Flu · · Score: 1

    After swine flu pandemic, cat IS food.

  7. Re:There is only one true keyboard... on Review of Das Keyboard · · Score: 1

    I'm also a fan of ergonomic keyboards and I'd say Microsoft's Natural 4000 model is the best that you can buy right now.

    It has a standard inverted T shaped arrow key layout and the standard arrangement for the Home/End keys as well.

    The only thing missing is a built in USB hub.

  8. Re:Who would have ordered one so quickly? on $399 Mac Clone Most Likely a Hoax · · Score: 1

    The shoebox can also play more games.

  9. Re:Not smart on Stolen US Military Equipment Being Sold On eBay · · Score: 4, Informative

    A quick search shows that the Saegheh is simply a copy of the US Air force's F-5 from the 1960s! And who says it's on par with the F-18? Why, Iran of course! I'm not saying that Iran doesn't have some smart engineers, but the Saegheh doesn't seem to be proof of that.

  10. Re:I never got the ferrari on Acer Ferrari 1100, One Large Disappointment · · Score: 1

    That's not a PS/2 port judging by the pinout... it's probably for TV output. You might say a DVI port would be better than VGA, but then you run into the problem of not having the adapter handy when you want to connect to a projector in a conference room (I'm guessing that's one of the popular uses of VGA ports on laptops) As for carbon fiber, it's a ferrari branded laptop, what do you expect? It needs to tie in to the automobile brand somehow.

  11. Re:Danger, Will Robinson on 100-MPG Air-Powered Car Headed To US Next Year · · Score: 2, Informative

    That's no worse than what's depicted in Hollywood for gasoline powered autos. How many times have people seen cars blow up spontaneously with one bullet to the fuel tank? This was also debunked (and then rebunked) on mythbusters.

  12. Re:"Electric ions"? on Riding an Ion Drive to the Asteroid Belt · · Score: 1

    At least they didn't call the spaceship a pilotless drone.

  13. Re:Zonk on The First Terabyte Hard Drive Reviewed · · Score: 4, Funny

    He totally Schruted that summary.

  14. Need some turtles now... on Robot Piloted by a Slime Mold · · Score: 2, Funny

    So they've invented Krang?

  15. Re:Antivirus Advantage on Virus Creators Sharing More Code · · Score: 1

    We got hit by Netsky.N this morning and as of noon there was still no new virus definition available from Symantec to detect it. I have Anomy mail filter set up to delete executables coming into the mail server but unfortunately someone checked their yahoo account and clicked on the .pif file. This, after I sent a memo out last week telling people in effect "IF YOU ARE NOT EXPECTING THE ATTACHMENT- DO NOT OPEN IT!"

    Make it idiot proof and they'll just build a better idiot.
