  1. Re:Don't think so on Why Linux Has Failed on the Desktop · · Score: 1

    That's probably a victory for whoever did the killing...

  2. Re:very fitting on Vista DRM Cracked by Security Researcher · · Score: 1

    Microsoft could have done comedians all around the world a favour and called it Protected Internal Media Path...

    That would be strangely appropriate for people who watch porn DVDs on their computers as well... :S

  3. As a general guide... on Water-cooled Radeon X1950 XTX Benchmarks · · Score: 2, Funny
    Toxic X1950 XTX.

    To calculate the rough performance of any given 3d card, take the number of "X"s in the name and multiply by the price. Should give a fairly accurate 3dmark score.
  4. Um... on Australians Allowed to Format Shift Media · · Score: 3, Funny
    "Once the new laws are passed, 'format shifting' of music, newspapers and books from personal collections onto MP3 players will become legal."
    Hands up if you can read your newspaper on your MP3 player...
  5. Some time in the future... on Viruses May be the Precursors of All Life · · Score: 1

    ... Will a super-intelligent AI look back and be depressed to discover that it's ancestors included SoBig and Blaster?

  6. logically speaking... on Looking Directly at Extrasolar Planets · · Score: 1

    Sooo to get a straight look at a distant planet we should to use a corkscrew-shaped lens...

    Elementary, my dear Watson!

  7. Oooh Oooh! on Study Finds Regulation Good For Telecom Customers · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Someone hurry up and show this article to the New Zealand Government. Maybe I can get a better deal than my 256/128k half-broadband...

  8. Hmm... on NASA Prizes for Builder and Flyer Robots · · Score: 5, Funny

    I wonder if GTX Global will be entering anything with their "true AI" onboard...

  9. Re:48 Meter balloon? on Indian Tycoon Sets Balloon Flight Record · · Score: 1

    Nah, he's just full of hot air.

  10. Just as well these bacteria can't think for... on Living Photos Use Bacteria as Pixels · · Score: 1

    ... themselves, or someone who hasn't washed recently could end up with "idiot" written on their forehead.

  11. Re:We have that already on Geneticists Claim Aging Breakthrough · · Score: 1

    then couldn't you do things the other way around and impose these genes on cancer cells to force them to get old and die? Just an idea.

  12. in the 487th year of his mightiness... on Geneticists Claim Aging Breakthrough · · Score: 1

    One of the things you can count on in life is that [insert greedy, cruel tyrant/dictator's name here] will die eventually, just like the rest of us.

    So what happens when they can use their money to hang around for another 500 years?

    How would your typical impovershed (sp?) 3rd world country deal with a 500 year reign of terror?

  13. Oh great. Just what we needed. on Korean Lab Worker Forced to Donate Her Own Eggs · · Score: 5, Funny

    I would say something about having egg on his face, but I don't really think it's appropriate.

    Now the poor chaps who are trying to achieve something worthwhile with their medical science using stem cells or whatnot have to deal with another round of "oh god, what is the world coming to?" And "quick! Lets ban the whole lot before someone else does something this stupid."

    Has anyone else noticed that the 1.5 RC2 release notes page doesn't display properly in IE? :)

    The reason why I'm browsing in IE? Well I'm having some problems applying the RC2 update patch, but that's another story...

  15. "Hello Sir... on No More Lunar Land for Sale · · Score: 2, Funny

    I'm looking for a couple of acres to build my Mysterious Secret Moon Base - can I have a look at what's available?" And we thought people were stupid to fall for a Nigerian scam... This one really takes the cake. Or should that be the cheese?

  16. Mr Explete-o-matic on South Korea Introducing Robotic Teachers · · Score: 4, Interesting

    "...can connect the robots to the Net, and then download contents of their choice from the ministry's Web site." Can anyone else see where this is going - how long did it take them to hack the PSP? And people thought that teaching furbies to swear was a bad enough influence on children...
