  1. Re:Good idea? on German Carpenter's Testicluar Valve Could Mean An On/Off Switch For Sperm · · Score: 1

    Or better yet, through Facebook your "friends" get to decide if you can even reproduce! Whoa! We need to call Mark. I'm sure he will kick in some bucks.

  2. Re:An app per site? on Which do You Prefer: Mobile Web Apps or Mobile Websites? (Video) · · Score: 2

    I can't stand an app for each site, either, and I hate when a site comes up in a 'mobile, reduced usefulness' version on my iPad. I'll have to get a T-shirt that says "Outlier".

    Now we have to come up with some serious cash to get Iovine away from Apple. This is gonna be BIG!

    That's perfect! OK, we gotta get marketing in on this... We'll worry about the engineering details later... I wonder how much bribe money we'll need for FDA approval?...

    Control it from your iPhone and it posts the setting of the switch to your Facebook page. :)

    They are DRM free. You can share them with whomever you want. You can beat up people that don't return them. Go watch The Princess Bride. Lot's of reasons they are still read, and therefore produced.

    And they encourage you to share your results on FB/T/G+. Huh?

  8. Good job. Too bad about the thruster, but nice recovery. Hope it works out.

  9. IPV4 vs IPV6 on Providing Addresses for 4 Billion People Using Three Words (mondaynote.com) · · Score: 1

    Why didn't they just go to 1m x 1m and 4 words? It's Zip+4 all over again.

  10. Sounds easy enough. on DHS Offering Free Vulnerability Scans, Penetration Tests (krebsonsecurity.com) · · Score: 2

    ...and all you have to do is install this one little piece of code. It will delete itself when the test is over. Really! Honest! ...What are you looking like that for!?

  11. Re:Why emojis/emoticons are in Unicode? on Companies Want To Insert Ads Into Unicode (thenextweb.com) · · Score: 2

    They like to be less precise/more vague so there's plausible deniability when they go for a job interview. Or maybe they CAN'T be more precise/less vague. Hmmm.

  12. Re:Wouldn't this lead to Natural Selection? on Stack Overflow and the Zeitgeist of Computer Programming (priceonomics.com) · · Score: 2

    Yup, you're right. Program or die. That's certainly the way it is where I live...even if it's my own projects -- ESPECIALLY if it's my own projects.

    Oh, that's right! I forgot he said that. OK, I guess then it's the more things change the more they stay the same.

  15. I can wait. on NASA Orders SpaceX Crew Mission To International Space Station (nasa.gov) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I've always wanted to go to space using the lowest bidder AND the winner of a race. Must be The New NASA.

    Got it, thanks. It's like Slime vs Slime. :) I'm not sure who to root for.

  17. How is this a different from Rosetta (Apple)? on Microsoft's Plan To Port Android Apps To Windows Proves Too Complex (networkworld.com) · · Score: 1

    Or something like VMWare? Or did they really want the apps to look like native apps? That I'd get. I wish I could run many of my iPad apps on my MacBook...there already is a simulator, so it must be close.

  18. Re:Data data everywhere and not a drop to think on 737 'Tailstrike' Caused By Typo On a Tablet (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    That's what I thought. The answer is "yes", but not in the Information Age. In this age we need to make everything as complicated as possible, so that we can pile on more stuff to make things less complicated.

  19. Well that's too bad. on Louis Friedman Says Humans Will Never Venture Beyond Mars (scientificamerican.com) · · Score: 1

    I was hoping someone would pack up the whole Kardashian clan and ship them off for a soft landing on Jupiter.

    As long as you don't go too far and start exploding your viewers. Great TV show.

  22. Re:A modest prediction on TV Networks Cutting Back On Commercials (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    If you look at the labels they are all altered. Instead of Fiji water it's Biji, instead of Poweraide Zero it's oweraid Zero. Whenever you can read a label it's doesn't say exactly what it should. They do SAY things like Amazon, and Best Buy, etc, but I've never seen any product in writing. It's always changed or, like you said, the labels were on the XBox and PS4 boxes. I wonder if they get money from anyone?
