  1. To quote Dave Attell... on What Breakfast Gets You Going? · · Score: 5, Funny

    "a tongue in the ass. There is no alarm clock on that one, you are up, you are shaking, you are in a karate stance, the day has begun"

  2. I can see the 0-day exploit headline now on Printers Vulnerable To Security Threats · · Score: 4, Funny

    "Printers worldwide slammed with requests to print the goatse man"

  3. Their reason for hiring someone younger might not on Is it Possible to Age Yourself Out of a Job? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    be just pay. Younger people tend not to have families and, lacking experience, will often be coerced into working longer hours etc. They could be afraid that you would not put up with such conditions and bolt as soon as you got the chance.

    I'm 26, but I am saving like hell because I know that age discrimination is rife in this industry, and the more I save for retirement right now, the less I have to worry about such things.

  4. No Lunar dragon song on The 10 Worst Games Made For The PSP and DS · · Score: 1

    That is the only game for the DS that I just had to put down in disgust. I usually like JRPGs(I bought all the FF remakes for gba and the ds) but it was just so incredibly boring and well stupid. Maybe the game gets more rewarding later on, but I certainly found no value in it.

  5. Nintendo! on Who won? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Oh wait no, I mean LInux! Oh wait no I mean Firefly, oh wait no, what competition was this again?

  6. You know what I love? on Microsoft Readies 360 Launch For China · · Score: -1, Troll

    China vagina!

  7. One game I hope they never make on Square Moves into Serious Games Biz · · Score: 5, Funny

    "Moogles and Chocobos teach sex education"

  8. Re:It is nice to know on Japan Scrapping Moon Mission · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Actually if you look at JAXA, almost everything they have done is a failure. It's interesting because Japan isn't a poor country(in terms of GDP it's #2 in the world), is famous for its science and technology education(whether or not that reputation is deserved is another issue), and has relatively healthy funding. And yet, almost nothing but failure has come out of JAXA. To be sure NASA has had failures as well, but NASA has had resounding successes to match. JAXA really hasn't. Why is that? Is it just poor management? Botched politics? What?

  9. After taking a look at it on Inventor Slims Down Exoskeletal Body Armor · · Score: 1

    I can say it does seem to double as birth control. Even if you could find a willing woman, by the time you got that thing off well....the mind would be willing but the flesh soft.

  10. Re:No Further Action Required. on Is A Bad Attitude Damaging The IT Profession? · · Score: 1

    Blame the user is a bad policy, usually resorted to by people who own crappy software.

    This coming from a person who is on record as saying something to the effect of "some people aren't intelligent enough to install free software"

  11. Re:Guinness Wastage! on Print Messages On Your Beer · · Score: 2, Funny

    Which is why we should restrict it to writing on Miller Lite, it's already toxic. Hell, the ink might make it drinkable.

  12. No 3rd party apps on Inside the iPhone — 3G, ARM, OS X, 3rd Partyware · · Score: 1

    would be easier to swallow if the phone supported flash(and to a lesser extent java applets). While certainly a ton of dynamic web content can be created without these technologies, a flash player would be able to handle some of the functions that 3rd party apps would have. As it stands, its looking less and less apealling. Maybe they should have stuck with a 12" macbook pro to cater to the portable data heads

  13. Re:Slamming customers on Is A Bad Attitude Damaging The IT Profession? · · Score: 1

    So do you laugh at alcoholics who get cirrocis? Or smokers who get cancer? It's the same argument "they did something to get sick" so therefore they deserve nothing but contempt according to your argument.

  14. This story is just BEGGING on Is A Bad Attitude Damaging The IT Profession? · · Score: 1

    for a comment from twitter

  15. Heres a hint on Shatner Leaks Trek XI Details · · Score: 4, Funny

    it involves Kirk and Spock naming their own price on a deep space voyage for two and saving with priceline!

  16. The Onion was way ahead on this one on Mars Probe May Have Spotted Sojourner Rover · · Score: 1

    an infographic listing the challenges NASA faces with the rovers, and one of them is "Must maneuver around burnt-out hunks of failed probes littering Martian surface"

  17. The toilet on Proper Ways to Dispose of Spam? · · Score: 3, Funny

    regardless of whether it comes out the back port or the front(both are equally likely).

  18. Ah the old fox in the henhouse on Massachusetts Looks To Jack Thompson for Game Law · · Score: 1

    or in this case, the lawyer in the Intensive Care Unit.

  19. The crazy dude on the corner on Bugged Canadian Coins? · · Score: 3, Funny

    screaming about how the birds are spying on him makes a bit more sense now.....

  20. Almost all the ski slopes in Europe on 2006 Was the Warmest Year Ever · · Score: 4, Informative

    are either closed or operating at significantly reduced loads. Hell, some of the places in Austria are suggesting hiking trips instead of skiing this year. Here in Bavaria, we had(so I'm told) one of the coldest winters in the past 20 years last year, and this year I have only had to deal with frost twice(which is nice because I am on a bike)

    Meanwhile Colorado seems to be getting more snow than the rest of the world combined(I'm only being a tad dramatic there). They probably have the best skiing in the world this year, but the airports are always closed so nobody can get there!

  21. First things first on What Does Your Dead Man's Switch Do? · · Score: 5, Funny

    delete all the porn!

  22. Re:Leopard? on iPhone, Apple TV Headline MacWorld Keynote · · Score: 1

    I think this is in line with the name change they announced as well. No longer "Apple Computer Inc." Now just "Apple Inc"....

  23. Re:Vlad's old digs, eh? on "Dracula's Castle" For Sale In Romania · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Blah! I want to suck your bank account!

  24. Maybe he could team up with Bush on On Being a Gamer in Iraq · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    since Bush seems to treat war like it was a video game, and all the soldiers and hardware and money as his toys.

  25. Re:Info.... on 1 Million PlayStation 3s Shipped · · Score: 1, Insightful

    I think the distinction isn't nearly as big as most people make it out to be. If none were selling then retailers wouldn't order any more and Sony would ship less. IE there may be a difference, but actually the number shipped is more accurate than the number sold because it is easier to keep track of.
