  1. If God didnâ(TM)t want us to eat animals... on Should Plant-Based Meat Replace Beef Completely? (pbs.org) · · Score: 1

    He wouldnâ(TM)t have made them out of meat.

  2. Re: Illegal treaty. on Elon Musk Joins CEOs Calling For US To Stay in Paris Climate Deal (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    It's not a treaty idiot. It's an "agreement".

  3. Re: Um. WRONG. on Why Movie Streaming Services Are Unsatisfying — and Will Stay That Way · · Score: 1

    I use a VPN service specially targeted at Netflix users and I can switch between any of the Netflix regions. In addition, this works in almost all the countries I have been to including Hong Kong, UK, Spain... The content available so far is diverse enough to keep me interested.

  4. Re:If they hadn't brought their drone on Hunters Shoot Down Drone of Animal Rights Group · · Score: 1

    Squab is the veal of poultry! Very tasty and quite popular in Europe.

  5. Re:Sigh on 3,500 Year Old Florida Tree Dies of Natural Causes · · Score: 1

    Interesting facts. Terrible writing. ("mileniums"?).

  6. Tool outlines on Mechanic's Mistake Trashes $244 Million Aircraft · · Score: 2

    How about doing what every handyman does in his garage: hanging the tools on a board and tracing an outline of all of them.

  7. Re:where do I turn myself in on Man Who Downloaded Bomb Recipes Jailed For 2 Years · · Score: 1

    ...And I'm thinking of pressing the "History Erasor" button! I think I have Space Madness!

  8. Yeah I saw that on... on Statisticians Uncover the Mathematics of a Serial Killer · · Score: 1, Funny

    Numb3rs already. Yawn.

  9. Those were the days... on Looking Back At the Commodore 64 · · Score: 1

    I was in high school at the time and did all my essays on the C64. Boy did it make things so much easier than using a typewriter (or pen and paper for that matter!). The only problem was that you couldn't type more than about 10 pages at a time before it ran out of memory. Most of my assignments ended up being done in parts...

  10. Re:passwords? on 77 Million Accounts Stolen From Playstation Network · · Score: 1

    Not only that:

    - If you wanted to play any of the games online, you had to have a PSN account. Which meant you had to provide a credit card whether you were ever going to buy anything or not.

    NOT TRUE. You can create PS3 accounts without having to provide any cc info. I have done so many times for the GT5 birthday/gift car cheat.

  11. Re:passwords? on 77 Million Accounts Stolen From Playstation Network · · Score: 2

    Well actually if you're on Netflix US, you can still log on and watch as normal on the PS3. Netflix Canada does not work though. I have both accounts, so this is from personal experience.

  12. B- on Google Gmail Motion Beta · · Score: 1

    C'mon, that's just stupid. You couldn't come up with something better than this for April Fools?

  13. Not only that, on Tesla Sues BBC's Top Gear For Libel · · Score: 1

    the Tesla is an American car. Top Gear has always made fun/trashed of American cars because of their poor handling, cheap quality, under-engineering, crappy mileage, etc.

  14. Way to get around it... on Man Arrested For Linking To Online Videos · · Score: 2

    I wonder if one can get around being a "linking site" by simply removing the HREF's, leaving just the text of the links. Then one would have to copy/paste instead of just clicking.

  15. AVG on TSA To Retest Full Body Scanners For Radiation · · Score: 2

    This sets a new bar for incompetence. Its almost comical that they are admitting that someone didn't divide by 10 to get an average, but instead *added* the numbers together. This smells like its too dumb to be true, and they are hiding something.

  16. Groundbreaking? on Ex-Microsoft CTO Writes $625 Cookbook · · Score: 1

    I don't see how this breaks any new ground. Ferran Adria has had all his work documented in his El Bulli volumes since the 80's and he is widely recognized as being the most influencial chef of the last decade, if not of all time. Even Heston Blumenthal is a prior advocate of using science in cooking, with his "Kitchen Kemistry" TV series. I'm sorry but Nathan Myhrvold is a barbecue champion, and is a nobody in the gastronomic world. This project smells of something an American would do -- that is, "bigger". I don't see how anyone can just make a recipe book without having the recipes stand the test of a public trial (that is, served in a real restaurant at the mercy of real critics).

  17. I know there's on Man Pays $200,000 To Save Fake Online Girlfriend · · Score: 1

    a funny Mastercard commercial in this somewhere....

  18. As shown by Derren Brown on Secrets of a Memory Champion · · Score: 1

    The "memory places" technique is exactly what Derren Brown uses in one of his shows (I think it was Trick of the Mind): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L1mweFSqACU In this sequence, Derren plays blackjack and explains exactly how he is able to memorize the decks of cards in real time.

  19. It would have been better .... on The Continued Censorship of Huckleberry Finn · · Score: 1

    to just black out the word instead.

  20. This is a good case for keeping your old emails... on UK's National Rail Shuts Down Free Timetable App · · Score: 1

    Really? When was the last time anyone deleted emails anyway?

  21. Loving it! on Firefighters Let House Burn Because Owner Didn't Pay Fee · · Score: 1

    This is the exact sort of thing that makes me love your wonderful country!
    Keep up the great work America. Its keeping my "pro" US FB page filled with great content.
    Pukka.

  22. Re:What's the payback on an Escalade? on Just One Out of 16 Hybrids Pays Back In Gas Savings · · Score: 1

    That's not a valid question in this case. You need to compare the costs of running the different versions of the same model, ie - gasoline/hybrid or gasoline/diesel.

  23. Carpal tunnel? on Apple Launches New Magical Trackpad, 12 Core Macs · · Score: 1

    The problem with a trackpad is that you cannot rest your hands anywhere on it, which is not a good thing. Has anyone had any bad experiences with trackpads with respect to repetitive strain ailments? I have been using the Kensington Expert Mouse for the past 15 years and as "heavy" mouse user, I have never had a problem with my wrists or elbows (ie - carpal tunnel syndrome). I cannot imagine ever switching.

  24. Re:Boycott Voltage Pictures on The Hurt Locker Producers Sue First 5,000 File-Sharers · · Score: 1

    VOLTAGE is like that ugly kid who finally made out with a hot chick. Now he thinks he's all hot shit and is prancing around the school yard with a hard on, talking like he's a somebody. Well, VOLTAGE, you still have a small dick.
    Enjoy the 15 minutes of recess. The jocks are gonna beat you to a pulp after school.

  25. Wouldn't a stern demand be more effective? on The Hurt Locker Producers Sue First 5,000 File-Sharers · · Score: 1

    Why don't the producers say this to the 5,000: "OK, give us our fucking $24.99 or we will sue your fucking little asses off one by one". Full stop. I bet that they would get a lot of people paying them off instantly, with no court costs incurred.
