  1. In related news... on Military on Alert for Killer Coke Cans · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Coke cans that disguised as cell phones distributed to crack dealers with bonus samples of cocaine. (Oh. Wait... didn't it already, I mean..)

  2. Re:A story on U.S. Government Sometimes Jams Keyless Car Locks? · · Score: 1

    They didn't stick the fuses in their pockets when they pulled them?

  3. Re:The mighty Thor on Disney Launches Fireworks With Compressed Air · · Score: 1

    [Oblig] You're thor? I'm, tho thor I can hardly pith.

  4. I'm in it on Building a Better Office · · Score: 1

    Wearing a nightshirt, cat on my lap, mini fridge 30 degree lower arm radius away, DVD player playing "Firefly". Let the poor bastards telecommute. Both morale and the environment will benefit, everybody;s costs will go down, and a few PHB's can be relegated to the bread line.

  5. Re:Range on U.S. Navy to Deploy Rail Guns by 2011 · · Score: 1

    WIMW a miss target is a missed target. In fact, you could argue that the longer the range, the more likely a miss would be harmless (the orphanage would have to be three towns over rather than next door to the munitions plant.)

  6. Re:Range? on U.S. Navy to Deploy Rail Guns by 2011 · · Score: 1

    You, sir, are absolutely right. Big Bertha had slipped my mind.

  7. Re:Range? on U.S. Navy to Deploy Rail Guns by 2011 · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Been able to fire over the horizon since WWII.

  8. Re:Range on U.S. Navy to Deploy Rail Guns by 2011 · · Score: 2, Insightful

    And this differs from every other weapon (down to and including the fist) how?

  9. Bring on the Nazis, Fundamentalists, etc on EU Pushes to Limit Internet Speech · · Score: 1

    Jefferson had it right. In the marketplace of ideas, there's nothing like light to scatter the cockroaches. I think hate speech should be publicly funded, and given a pampered and privleged spot. Fewer teenagers and fringies would find it less attractive than breeding in the dark.
    Mod me sideways, oh baby, baby.

  10. Re:3 yr old toddlers? on Dog Trained on 200-Word Vocabulary · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It's all in the motivation; "smart" to us is how much the subject creature acts like us, as opposed to a more objective meaurement.

  11. Re:Parrots on Dog Trained on 200-Word Vocabulary · · Score: 1

    The most generally accepted test is the ability to form new symbols and use the consistently. Primate researchers have had this going for years in chimps. As far as reading, it has been mastered by at least on chimp, "Lana" at the Yerkes primate research center.

  12. Re:I wonder if you have to ... on Electric Armor Tested For Light Armored Vehicles · · Score: 1

    Damn, you beat me to it, Mr. Reed JA

  13. Hooray for the marketplace of ideas on Microsoft's Magical 'Myth-Busting' Tour · · Score: 1

    I think we should chip in and buy them, the neo-nazis, the fundamentalists of all stripes and the human cloners all the media exposure they want. In a few days they would be less than a trivial footnote, and stop annoying the real people.

  14. Re:Well,, this too.. on Legoland Introduces Wi-Fi Tracking for Kids · · Score: 1

    Shall pass

  15. In Other News.. on Happy Spamiversary! · · Score: 1

    The hemerrhoid celebrates it's 20,000th anniversary. Pardon me, 10,000th. And it wasn't invented by a lawyer, but when one was transplanted, the hemerrhoid rejected the lawyer.

  16. Re:Remember! on The Geek Shall Inherit the Earth · · Score: 1

    Or is it "The geek shall inherit the Earth, the rest of us are going to the stars?"

  17. Re:fp? on Personalized Moon Crash · · Score: 1

    She must be REAL small. Or did you have in mind just to send choice parts?

  18. Re:Which Language on No EZ Fix For The IRS · · Score: 1

    Well, we can't have archaic and eat it, too.

  19. Already Illegal on Inexpensive Dashboard PC · · Score: 1

    California has a law against having a PC running in your front seat. I'm sure our intelligent and well informeed law enforcement drones will have no trouble with the distinction.("But officer, this is Linux, much less operator intensive...".)

  20. As long as I can watch "Thunderbirds" on Comcast Signs Deal To Acquire TechTV · · Score: 2, Funny

    I't "FAB" with me

  21. Re:I like it. on Tivo Plans Commercials On Demand · · Score: 1
