  1. Lenovo - Where have I heard that name recently? on Vista Beta 2 has Major Problems · · Score: 2, Funny

    This is hardly M$'s fault. There is a known problem with the drivers for the latest Chinese spy chips. For some reason they causes a conflict with the NSA ones.

  2. Scientists Search Deep Sea Reefs for Wonder Drugs on Scientists Search Deep Sea Reefs for Wonder Drugs · · Score: 3, Funny

    Of all the stupid places to drop your stash of wonder drugs over the side of the boat.

  3. And so democracy was saved once more... on Lenovo Banned by U.S. State Department · · Score: 1

    Now all you have to do is set up the machines so that they cannot be compromised by harmless ufo loonies^D^D^D^D sinister terrorist genius hackers.

  4. Spy vs. spy on Lenovo Banned by U.S. State Department · · Score: 2, Funny

    It's worse than that. Do you realise that the Chinese security forces monitor all international calls out of China. Evil or what?

  5. Re:*blush* on Well I'll Be A Monkey's Uncle · · Score: 2, Funny

    So it's true, you did fuck a human! Pervert!

  6. Later that evening... on London 2006, Meet London 1984 · · Score: 1

    Hi, I've got one for you now coming down West Street. Expensive shoes, briefcase, ipod ear plugs. He'll be out of the camera zone in another two minutes. Looks like there's hardly anybody about. You and the boys should be able to take him easy.

  7. Effective counter terrorism on The NSA Knows Who You've Called · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I think you don't appreciate how clever this really is. Once the terrorists are no longer jealous of your freedom, they will lose interest and leave you alone. All the NSA has to do is remove all of your freedoms and the problem is solved.

  8. Oh dear on Both Sides of Wii · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Somebody is taking the piss here.

  9. Drive carefully on Legal Restrictions on Cellphone Use Gain Traction · · Score: 1

    Driving to the office this morning on the motorway, I looked over to my right and there was a woman in a brand new BMW doing 90 miles per hour with her face up close to her rear view mirror putting on her eyeliner! I looked away for a couple of seconds and when I looked back she was halfway over in my lane still working on that make-up!! It scared me (I'm a man) so much that I dropped my electric shaver, which knocked the bacon roll out of my other hand. In all the confusion of trying to straighten out the car using my knees against the steering wheel, it knocked my mobile from my ear, which fell into the coffee between my legs, causing it to splash and burn BIG JIM AND THE ROUND TWINS, causing me to scream, which made me drop the cigarette out of my mouth, ruined my shirt and DISCONNECTED AN IMPORTANT CALL. F****NG WOMEN DRIVERS !!!!!! (From an email)

  10. That's a relief on ICANN Meeting Puts Off XXX Domain Again · · Score: 1

    Once again the forces of virtue triumph over evil and depravity. As long as they can stop this domain from being created we can have a web free of filth and pr0n. Now, as a keen miniature railway enthusiast, I think I'll just go and type in a search for "model" on our lovely clean safe internerd. Oh dear, what is she doing with that express train? ... I think I had better go and investigate this somewhere more private

  11. No, it's ok on U.S. Army Robots Break Asimov's First Law · · Score: 1

    After all, insurgents don't count as humans, otherwise the whole Gitmo thing would be a huge human rights violation. Problem solved. Obviously the software would not allow it to shoot an American.

  12. But everybody wants premium service... on Vonage Files Regulatory Complaint Over QoS Premium · · Score: 1

    Just supposing all customers buy into this. Telco gets piles of extra cash, customers get exactly the same service as before. Sounds like an excellent plan to me.

  13. Re:20 years.... on Two-Stage-to-Orbit Spaceplane Program Shelved · · Score: 1

    You will appear much better informed if you spell the fella's name right. Follow your own link and check it out.

  14. Re:There MUST have been seven... on Microsoft Confirms 6 Versions of Vista · · Score: 1

    Obvious really. Due to time constraints they could not get them all out of the door in time. The one which did not make the cut was "Vista - Worth Buying"

  15. Fireworks on NASA Detects Nearby Mystery Explosion · · Score: 1

    Perhaps it will turn out to be a normal GRB. As it is so much closer than normal we get to detect fainter effects than we would normally notice?

  16. It's quite simple on Florida Voting Machine Logs Reveal Anomalies · · Score: 1

    We did this to protect you from yourselves. If we hadn't rigged the vote then Hamas would have got in and we have to stop all aid to Florida. Democracy does not mean voting for whoever you like you know.

  17. How many trading standards officers in town? on UK Government Confiscates Firefox CDs · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Not a huge department I'd guess, maybe 4 or 5 people if that. I think it's outrageous that they are not all experts in software licensing issues. How dare they check back with the originator of the material to find out what the score is. On the whole it sounds like she dealt with this in a very professional and sensible manner.

  18. The writing is not on the wall on Graffiti Game Banned in Australia · · Score: 3, Funny

    And from that day forward no graffiti was ever sprayed on the walls of Australia again. The clean grey concrete canyons were the envy of the rest of the world where no other nation had the foresight to ban this evil computer game.

  19. Anyone for tennis? on Tennis Pro Swaps Racket for Railgun · · Score: 3, Funny

    I think the final of international pong championships is now a foregone conclusion.

  20. Re:Slick! on Plan To Bomb Mars For Signs of Climate Change · · Score: 1

    Ready when you are mr DeMille

  21. Meetings bloody meetings on Meetings are Bad For You · · Score: 1

    Rambling unfocused meetings are a complete waste of everbody's time. If you have a competent chair, then you may get some useful results. If you attend too many of the former type, find out when the phb's birthday is and anonymously get him a copy of "Meetings Bloody Meetings", a training video starring John Cleese. Gotta go now, teleconference time. Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

  22. Speak up we can't all hear you clearly on NSA Wiretapping Whistleblower · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I think that the only way to get to the bottom of such serious allegations is to investigate the evidence. Perhaps if we could secretly intercept the communications between the administration and the NSA we might find out what is really going on.

  23. I love the smell of hypocrisy in the morning on Sony DRM Installed Even When EULA Declined · · Score: 1

    Could it be that the people cheering for Sony getting punished for breaking US laws are the same as those howling about Microsoft getting punished for breaking EU laws.

  24. The secret is out on Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Unrelated to Typing? · · Score: 1

    Yes, what really does your carpal tunnels in is all of that "one handed" keyboard use. The whole typing thing was just a cover up. Hmm... what's that strange pain in my wrist.

  25. Phew, that's a relief on EU Approves Data Retention · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Now we should be able to round up all of the terrorists within a few minutes, and all will be well in the garden again. I am so lucky to be looked after by such wise leaders. Seriously, I bet you will be able to count the number of terrorists caught by this on the fingers of one foot.
