  1. PlayStation 4 on Why Can't Intel Kill x86? · · Score: 1

    Isn't the PlayStation 4 and SteamBox going to be x86? Maybe we should ask them "why the x86?"

  2. Re:Of course it is on Drug Testing In Mice May Be a Waste of Time, Researchers Warn · · Score: 2

    Plus the tests were culturally biased against inner city mice.

  3. Re:I don't understand the "high cap" magazine ban on 3D Printable Ammo Clip Skirts New Proposed Gun Laws · · Score: 3, Insightful

    If "9,200 Americans are murdered by handguns" a year, why do you want to take away AK-47s?

  4. Re:Perception of law enforcement on John McAfee Launches Blog, Offers $25K Reward For "Real Killers" · · Score: 1

    [...] the rule of law can be enforced arbitrarily, and sometimes in response to the desire to acquire the wealth of an accused person.

    Is that anything like setting up waivers for your friends and donors so they can avoid huge, rambling, and crippling laws? I'm pretty sure that happens in the US as well.

  5. Re:Great News.....! on Russia's Internet Blacklist Law Takes Effect · · Score: 1

    Website critical of Putin or shows fraud in the government... well that's bad for children to see. We must ban it.

  6. Re:Star Trek on "Real-life Tricorder" To Be Tested On International Space Station · · Score: 1

    Let's face it, everything revealed within Star Trek (or most Sci-Fi for that fact) will eventually come to pass not because it's "going" to happen, but through hard work and effort from those who want to see that tech become reality.

    It will not come to pass through hard work and effort. It will happen because the government built a road in front of the developer's house.

  7. DVR on Perseids Meteor Shower Maximum Is This Weekend · · Score: 3, Funny

    "viewing will be at its best in the hours before dawn." Too early... I'll DVR it.

  8. Re:Yeah but... on Modest Proposal For Stopping Hackers: Get Them Girlfriends · · Score: 1

    I'm hoping to end up like this gamer couple

  9. Re:Is that the so called "american dream"? on Dr. Dobb's 2012 Salary Survey · · Score: 4, Funny

    And we don't have to pay for a private health insurance or a decent pension.

    It's magically free... nobody pays for it! Whee!

  10. Re:Ho ho ho, that's rich. on Kaspersky Says Lack of Digital Voting Will Be Democracy's Downfall · · Score: 0

    Verify identify with a photo??!? A photo??!? Why are you so racist?

  11. Re:Not Intended to be Industrial Grade on Samsung Galaxy S3 Face Unlock Tricked By Photograph · · Score: 1

    You'd be surprised at how many pictures of my balls there are out there.

  12. Re:Awesome on The Hobbit's Higher Frame Rate To Cost Theater Operators · · Score: 1

    Last time I went to the theater for a first run movie it was $14 for a matinee with a coupon and $6 for a small popcorn, and that was their smallest screen and not in 3D (they want $16 for a matinee, $22 for prime hours for that)...

    How much was the 3D popcorn?

  13. Re:Bullshit on Sales of Unused IPv4 Addresses Gaining Steam · · Score: 4, Funny

    You cannot own an address, you lease it.

    I can. But that's because I'm not a penniless hippie. Wait... that's something else.

  14. Poke? on Facebook Shares Retreat Below IPO Price · · Score: 5, Funny

    Maybe someone should poke it.

  15. Re:If you want to know why your taxes are so high on Amazon Poised To Get Cut of CA Sales Taxes · · Score: 2

    And that profit fee is on top of the U.S. corporate tax rate being the 1st or 2nd highest in the developed world. Does anyone think they eat those rates or don't try to offshore jobs and manufacturing?

  16. Re:Officer, that looks suspiciously like... on UK Police Roll Out On-the-Spot Mobile Data Extraction System · · Score: 1

    No... he's just happy to see you have an easily data extractable phone.

  17. Re:In the US replacement is cheaper on The Dutch Repair Cafe Versus the Throwaway Society · · Score: 1

    Makes me wonder what they can use when Upholsterers completely out... Urologist and Union Thug is all that comes to mind.

  18. Re:Anyone who has ever taught math knows this on Study Suggests the Number-Line Concept Is Not Intuitive · · Score: 1

    The only intuitive thing is the nipple. After that it's all learned. (from what I remember of the saying)

  19. Re:Extend the lifespan of B-52 beyond 2040? on Sixty Years On, B-52s Are Still Going Strong · · Score: 5, Funny

    Utter tosh. ...

    I like the phrase "utter tosh" and want to use it more in conversation.

  20. Re:About time common sense prevailed! on Time to Review FAA Gadget Policies · · Score: 1

    I'm pretty sure the attendant's instructions are that everything must be off and stowed away. Especially objects that have to be fully stowed under the seat and can't hinder egress.

  21. Re:About time common sense prevailed! on Time to Review FAA Gadget Policies · · Score: 1

    So /that's/ why Apple products have rounded edges. Just goes to show Steve was ahead of the game and all you h8ers say it was a worthless design change for the fanboyz!

  22. Re:I had a similar experience once on 'Honey Stick' Project Tracks Fate of Lost Smartphones · · Score: 1

    What if you are more identifiable by your junk than your face?

  23. Re:Fun names worked great, for a while. on Server Names For a New Generation · · Score: 1

    Oracle11g, Oracle11g, Oracle11g.

  24. Re:SSID on Police Investigate Offensive Wi-Fi Network Name · · Score: 1

    No, no, no... "Romani ite domum." Now, write it out a hundred times. Hail Caesar!

  25. I'm making an Android app... on $10M Tricorder X PRIZE Kicks off · · Score: 4, Funny

    You start it up and it prints: "It's Lupus"
