  1. I'm Feeling Lucky Quicksearch on Google Tidbits · · Score: 2, Interesting

    The only time I use "I'm feeling lucky" is with the firefox quicksearch of the same name. It can save some typing for those of us who are exceedingly lazy.

  2. Re:Drat! on U.S. DOT Launches Laser Illumination Reporting · · Score: 1

    I say he should put the sharks' brains in robot bodies and give them chainsaw hands and those floaties with the duck heads on the front. Then it could be both... like the Marines.

  3. This is horrible... on No Warrant Needed For GPS Tracking By Police · · Score: 3, Funny

    Next thing you know, the police will be planting GPS trackers in houses. I had to say it before someone else said it by accident.

  4. because I _did_ notice on Google Exposes Web Surveillance Cams · · Score: 1

    Well, I have not posted in months, but I made this post as an advanced form of recognition of doc traig's recognition of the advanced flaming of ferrets, followed by advanced excited showing off of said advanced ferret flaming. I recognize your superior (some might say advanced) recognition of the practice of ferret flaming and the advanced showing off thereof, doc.

  5. Re:POV-RAY on Art Tips For Programmers? · · Score: 1

    Yeah... pov-ray makes me want to labotomize myself with a spoon.

  6. Re:My 2 cents on Battery-powered Cigarettes? · · Score: 1

    I am afraid that in your eagerness to get all huffy, you have still missed my entire point. People think kids are trying to be cool when they start smoking, but much of the time the actual reason is that they smoke one, get this awesome rush, and decide that they like the way it feels. Kinda like the rush you personally get from flaming people on /. - After awhile, you dont get the rush, but by then you are an addict.

  7. Re:My 2 cents on Battery-powered Cigarettes? · · Score: 1

    Yeah, you are right. These people that will do anything to be cool are retarded. Know which ones bother me the most? The ones that sit at their parents houses and proclaim their awesomeness on "teh intrawebs" by flaming people for stating simple facts like "cigarettes feel good". I mean, that is obviously a lie, because if they felt good, people would smoke them... especially kids. That never happens. You are teh awesums!!1

    Dang, I got flamed...

  9. My 2 cents on Battery-powered Cigarettes? · · Score: 1

    I started smoking at 15 (7 years ago), and it had nothing to do with looking cool. My friends and I all started because it feels REALLY good.

  13. Re:Need more than just the username on Gmail Accounts Vulnerable to XSS Exploit · · Score: 1

    Yeah, I was about to make the same comment. It seems like the seriousness of this was hyped up to make the news agency look better.

  15. Re:Yeah, but... on Hypo-Allergenic Cats Now Available for Pre-Order · · Score: 1

    Yeah, I figured I would shower my cat one time. I though it was a good idea since they can't climb glass, but just putting the cat in one of those stall showers does NOT work. 6.5 feet is not too high for a cat to jump, and a soaking wet cat that is hanging from a shower stall by his front claws while wailing and uselessly trying to climb glass with his rear claws is just not fun.

  16. Ignorance + Intranets = Fun*2 on Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas Launch · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    They had Gran Turismo 4 linked from that page too, according to Mothers Against Video Game Violence, "they dont go too fast in this game like...the ranchy Street Racing Syndicate." Mmmm, ranchy! She (they, he?) goes on to say that "Online play was what worried me though because playing with total strangers is bad but no there is none so which is good so buy it today!". I know, its kinda OT, but this needed to be pointed out.

  17. Re:Dr Who on MP3s From The Phone Box · · Score: 1
    Forget that stuff, I would rather have phone booths dispense things like:
    • Rum
    • Marlboros
    • Fried Chicken
    • Baby Oil
    • Bratwurst
    • Ski Masks
    • Roller Skates
    • Spermicide
  18. Re:Um, yes... on A Truly Alive Virus · · Score: 1

    Ahh, you are right. I still think the great grandparent is wrong though, as his whole point was that this virus was not significantly different from other viruses.

  19. Typo on Will Wright Vs. Jaron Lanier on Our Human Future · · Score: 2, Funny

    "...childlike teens of 2030 speak pidgin English and live primarily as vehicles for highly sophisticated and automated corporate marketing and political programming"
    Should have read "2004", not "2030". Don't they read these before they put them up?

  20. Um, yes... on A Truly Alive Virus · · Score: 5, Informative

    "This virus has a lot of DNA (the poxvirii do as well), but that does not mean it has a metabolism. Virii use their host's metabolism to produce proteins....."
    I have this funny feeling you didn't RTFA before you decided that this was a worthless story.
    From Nature: "It can make about 150 of its own proteins, along with chemical chaperones to help the proteins to fold in the right way. It can even repair its own DNA if it gets damaged, unlike normal viruses."

  21. Great, but... on GTA: San Andreas Leaked · · Score: 1

    I am excited about GTA: San Andreas coming out, but not enough to steal it. What I want to know is when someone is going to leak the new Gran Turismo, not on the internet, but right into my hand, in the box, with a steering wheel, a case of Mountain Dew, and some adult diapers.

  22. Re:Superb on Neal Stephenson Responds With Wit and Humor · · Score: 2

    Everyone seems to be saying "get Snow Crash", I would say just go ahead and buy them all, it might save you some shipping and handling costs if you get them all shipped in one box rather than ordering one now and then buying everything else he wrote five hours after Snow Crash arrives.

    Should the word "nazi" be capitalized in "grammer nazi"? Is it still a proper noun?
