  1. Wisconsin isn't all that bright to begin with... on Foxconn is Confusing the Hell Out of Wisconsin (theverge.com) · · Score: 0

    It doesn't take much to confuse the hell out of Wisconsin. I mean, c'mon, it's WISCONSIN.

  2. I'll make the joke...

    Is nobody worried about Khan Noonien Singh rising to power now? He could be the offspring of one of these girls, rise to power, and launch the Eugenics Wars. Then we'll need James Tiberus Kirk and Spock, a starship Enterprise, and the whole thing becomes a mess.

    Did no one in China watch Wrath of Khan or Into Darkness? Have we learned NOTHING from Star Trek?!?!

  3. Ethereum mining on Why Ethereum Is Outpacing Bitcoin (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 1

    Isn't Ethereum something you mine for in Azeroth or something?

  7. PS4 hardware on The Technical Difficulty In Porting a PS3 Game To the PS4 · · Score: 1

    Why didn't Sony make the PS4 hardware more like that of the PS3? Then less effort would be needed to ensure PS3 games are portable to the newer system.

  8. Re: Break it up like AT&T. baby coms on Comcast To Buy Time Warner Cable In $44.2 Billion All-Stock Deal · · Score: 1

    Yeah, then 20-30 years after Time Warner Comcast is broken up, 6 of the 7 pieces are merged back into a single company.

  9. In the words of Stan Marsh... on Missouri Legislation Redefines Science, Pushes Intelligent Design · · Score: 1

    "Couldn't evolution be the answer to how and not the answer to why?"

  10. Re:Oil Drilling on Sweden Imports European Garbage To Power the Nation · · Score: 1

    We Americans talking about oil drilling (myself included) because we want to stop buying it from countries that hate us, like the Middle East and Venezuela. Our energy policy should be tied national security policy. Honestly, do you think we'd have any business in Saudi Arabia and Iraq if they didn't have any oil? And if you're thinking of playing the Israel card, they do a fine enough job watching out for themselves, so the U.S. doesn't need to be there to protect them.

  11. Re:To the wife... on Promiscuity Alters DNA and Boosts Immunity In Mice · · Score: 1

    Why would anyone want to waste these particles on quantum computers, when they could be used to power spaceship engines for intergalactic delivery services?

    Uh, I thought Java was open source now...

    When it comes to bacon, you always should. There shouldn't even be a second thought about it, it should come naturally to you, like a reflex.

  18. Re:Any World Series where ther Yankees lose on Bing Crosby, Television Sports Preservationist · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Better yet, a World Series where they don't even appear.

    Exhibit A: 1991. Minnesota Twins and Atlanta Braves. Five one-run games, three that went to extra innings, including the crown jewels: Game 6, single-handedly won by Hall of Fame Twins center fielder Kirby Puckett, with his leaping catch against the left-center Plexiglas to rob Ron Gant of an extra-base hit and a game-winning home run on a 2-1 changeup from Charlie Leibrandt in the bottom of the 11th. Game 7, a masterful ten-inning shutout pitching performance by Jack Morris, and a game-winning single by pinch hitter Gene Larkin with the bases loaded. I've got both games on VHS. Some say THE greatest World Series ever, and I agree (disclaimer: I am a Minnesota Twins fan). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1991_World_Series

    The defense rests.

  19. Still not good enough... on Intel's Superchilled Test Rig · · Score: 1

    And yet, this system still couldn't run StarCraft II without melting the graphics card...

  20. I just want be prepared... on Video Games Linked To Reckless Driving · · Score: 4, Funny

    So, this is my fault for making sure I'm properly prepared for my road trip by packing plenty of turtle shells, banana peels, and mushrooms? Unbelieveable...

    Well, then maybe is Apple is right in trying to kill it off by not supporting it on the iPad and other devices...

  22. Re:Star Trek on Skydiver To Break Sound Barrier During Free-Fall · · Score: 1

    And I agree with you. There are 11 Star Trek movies. But I'm curious as to how that other guy says there are only 9.

  23. Re:Star Trek on Skydiver To Break Sound Barrier During Free-Fall · · Score: 2, Interesting

    How do you get 9? Are you counting Wrath of Khan/Search for Spock/Voyage Home as one (since it's three parts of the same story arc)? Are you discounting the first and fifth movies (which were kinda terrible, IMO)? If not, which ones are you discounting?

  24. Just send in SG-1!! on Russia Plans To Divert Asteroid · · Score: 1

    Why are the Russians wasting their time to come up with a solution for this problem?! The United States Air Force already has something in place to take care of Apophis.

    It's called SG-1. It's a four-man special operations unit, working out of the top secret Stargate Command, located under Cheyenne Mountain in Colorado Springs, Colorado. The team consists of Colonel Jack O'Neill, Maj. Samantha Carter, Dr. Daniel Jackson, and former first prime of Apophis and a member for the Jaffa alien species, Teal'c.

    Just give Lt. Gen. Hammond a ring and he'll send them in. SG-1 will have this taken care of by tomorrow. No problem!!

  25. Name them after users on Suitable Naming Conventions For Workstations? · · Score: 1
    My company has a simple, yet effective naming scheme.

    First character identifies the type of computer. L for laptop, W for desktop/workstation (D is used for domain controllers) Second and third characters are for the unit code. For example, DE could be your Detroit office The last two characters indicate the year the PC was built (09 for 2009) The remaining 9 characters in the middle (our names are limited to 14 characters) are first initial and last name.

    This tells you who the computer belongs to and how old it is. Nice for determining replacement cycles.

    My unit within my company does things a little ass backwards from the rest of the corporation. They use user ID's instead of first initial and last name, and then add the last three characters of the PC's S/N to the end instead of a two-digit date code. Still get a nice result to quickly identify the owners of PC's when they start causing issues.
