  1. Do you realize what this means? on Anonymous Kills Websites, Cartels Kill Bloggers · · Score: 3, Funny

    Deaths from blogging accidents are about to go way up.

  2. A "survey"? on Bejeweled Yields Cognitive Benefit In Older Adults · · Score: 1

    Call me when it's something remotely scientific. Until then, this isn't any more promising than Brain Age.

    (I find Bejeweled and its many, many clones thoroughly uninteresting. Peggle is alright, though.)

  3. Re:Flaming Skis on Medical Billing Codes For Injury Via Turtle Among Thousands Created by New Law · · Score: 1

    Some people just don't learn their lesson the first time they try to water ski while re-entering Earth's atmosphere.

  4. Re:Why stop at 140,000? on Medical Billing Codes For Injury Via Turtle Among Thousands Created by New Law · · Score: 1

    Depends. It's a different one for Cheney.

  5. How do they tell for sure? on YouTube Disables Comments and User Uploads For Korean Users · · Score: 1

    Do they just block anybody whose view history is more than 80% Starcraft?

  6. Welcome to Earth on Ask Slashdot: Where Can I Buy Legal Game ROMs? · · Score: 1

    I refuse to believe that this entire industry is built on piracy.

    Please remember to check your idealism at the door.

  7. Egad on FPS Benchmarks No More? New Methods Reveal Deeper GPU Issues · · Score: 1

    Twelve pages of graphs and data? Couldn't he just have said "standard deviations and percentiles" and be done with it?

  8. Okay, bottom-line this for me on Booktrack Adds Music and Sound Effects To Ebooks · · Score: 1

    Say, for example, I'm reading Everybody Poops...

  9. Re:Two words: Bitcoin on AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile Bet Big On Mobile Payments · · Score: 1

    Hang on, is "guffaw" a subset of "laugh"? Need an answer soonish so I can determine my options.

  10. Aha! on Evidence Points To Huge Underground River Beneath Amazon · · Score: 1

    This must explain how they can ship so much merchandise so efficiently!

  11. Re:Wow, when you can't trust CNET on Download.com Now Wraps Downloads In Bloatware · · Score: 1

    Jeez, you expect this stuff out of fly-by-night crapware sites.

    ...Which is why cnet is doing it.

  12. Well duh on IE 9 Beats Other Browsers at Blocking Malicious Content · · Score: 1

    You try delivering malware through all those Javascript and CSS compatibility issues.

  13. Re:Me too! on World's First Cybernetic Athlete To Compete · · Score: 1

    In that case, time to go shopping for a high-end road bicycle.

  14. Re:Me too! on World's First Cybernetic Athlete To Compete · · Score: 1

    Don't worry, I have a Plan B in case I blow the launch: another cybernetic attachment, made by Beretta.

  15. Me too! on World's First Cybernetic Athlete To Compete · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I will be competing in the 400m and 4x400m relay using my specially crafted Chevy Cavalier. It's a manual transmission, so the engine computer won't give me an unfair advantage.

  16. Re:How deep can it go? on Windows XP In a Browser · · Score: 4, Funny

    It's like Matryoshka dolls, but each one has more devastating genetic deformities than its container. The one in the middle looks like the love child of the California Raisins and ET.

  17. Re:NSFW? on Windows XP In a Browser · · Score: 1

    Well, it is a Java applet...

  18. Re:Great, so how the hell do I paint ashalt shingl on Bill Clinton Says 'Paint Your Roofs White' · · Score: 1

    So there are good reasons for HOAs.

    For example: Keeping the authoritarian busybody jackholes that love them from moving into my neighborhood.

  19. Re:Subject-Verb Agreement on Researchers Debut Proxy-Less Anonymity Service · · Score: 4, Funny

    They are practicing hiding the fact that they're trying to communicate. Almost had me fooled, too.

  20. I don't buy it on The Hidden Evil of the Microtransaction · · Score: 1

    While microtransactions aren't inherently evil...

    [citation needed]

  21. Re:Classic! on Congress Voting To Repeal Incandescent Bulb Ban · · Score: 1

    Same here. And the other quarter of the year when it's hot outside, the sun goes down so late that you don't need to turn on the lights anyway. The only place it really makes sense to use CFLs in Michigan is for your exterior lighting.

  22. Then they played it backwards on Scientists Play World's Oldest Commercial Recording · · Score: 1

    Something about "I buried Paul Revere". Weird.

  23. This will be patched fast on Jailbreakme 3.0 Released · · Score: 1

    It appears to be a remote code execution exploit in Safari and/or Webkit. I give it a week before iOS 4.3.4 is available. And I'll be installing it, since I don't want drive-by malware* on my phone.

    *Dimmer readers may incorrectly think I'm calling Cydia malware.

  24. Aw, how cute on Cisco Helps China Keep an Eye On Its Citizens · · Score: 1

    They call them "citizens".

  25. Its origin??? on ISS Nearly Clobbered By Space Debris · · Score: 1

    Am I to believe that "outer space" is not the current front-runner in the list of possibilities?
