  1. Re:Google-Microsoft Alliance on IBM, Linden Labs Call For Portable Avatars · · Score: 1

    I'm sure there's a scale model of the Empire State Building somewhere in Chicago. Or perhaps in a scale model of Chicago.

    My standard avatar is a scale model of the Empire Today Carpet Guy.

    No, he's not visible if you zoom in Chicago.

    >Yep, look at your neighbor's blog and find out he is a transvestite into spanking straight guys. Read the blog of the kid down the street and find out he hates you, yep, lots of things you want to know about your neighbors...

    How else would I know to introduce that snotty kid to my neighbor?

  3. Re:Grain of NaCl on Dragonfly-Sized Insect Spies Spotted, Denied · · Score: 1

    Please stay in view. Do not move away from the monitoring device.

  4. Re:Fact Checking on Has Wikipedia Peaked? · · Score: 1

    Why haven't you gone in and fixed your own vandalism? ...or do we need to restrict your access to spray paint?

  5. Re:I wonder on How Microsoft Inadvertently Helps To Fund FOSS · · Score: 4, Funny

    You make that sound so... dirty.

    Tell me more.

  6. Re:Couldn't a hacker... on Copy Protection Backfires on Blu-ray · · Score: 1

    Don't you mean, 'allow copying?' ...I think being device-specific in that case wouldn't be too bad.

  7. NLPC is a right-wing organization on Google Video Blasted Over Piracy Claims · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    NLPC was founded by Reaganite Republicans, and basically exists to further corporate agendas, and to assist in slamming Democrats. Their major funding is from large corporations.

    Rush 'Oxycontin' Limbaugh licks their ankle on a regular basis.

  8. If I get this service... on Free Phone Calls... If Advertisers Can Eavesdrop · · Score: 4, Funny

    I should discuss my grandma's sweet 'n' sour chicken breast recipe more often...

  9. Wow on Heinlein Archives Put Online · · Score: 1

    >heinlein is one of the authors whose books i have absolutely hated, alongside with e.e. smith and edgar burroughs.

    What's amazing is those two other authors were probably Heinlein's favorites.
    He actually was a friend of Smith.

    You have sorted yourself.

    Not meant as a criticism, we all have certain flavors we dislike.

  10. Yarr!! on Trent Reznor Says "Steal My Music" · · Score: 1

    Trent Reznor - "Do What You Want Because A Pirate Is Free ..."

    Can't wait until Nine Inch Nails covers that...

  11. Re:Bedfellows on Germany Makes Arrests In Global Phishing Scam · · Score: 1

    Unfortunately, yes. I called eBay's tech support and emailed their anti-phishing folks, and they confirmed that the emails were part of their anti-phishing efforts.

    The folks I communicated with could not see the logical fallacy.

  12. Bedfellows on Germany Makes Arrests In Global Phishing Scam · · Score: 2, Insightful

    This is an example where customers and businesses are on the same side, with governments and law enforcement actually protecting them by catching the bad guys.

    I'd like to see more of this.

    Of course, with eBay still sending me emails with links, telling me not to trust emails with links...

  13. Smackdown on 1300 Unopened Fry's Rebate Forms Found In Dumpster · · Score: 0

    Bad employee! Bad employee! No biscuit!

  14. Data Miners on DHS Ends Data-Mining Program · · Score: 2, Funny

    I can just visualize the scene, as the tired data miners head for home and a hot meal, pickaxes over their shoulders, all seven in a line singing "Hi Ho, Hi Ho!"

    I hope Snow White cooked them a nice apple pie instead of tasting it herself.

  15. Aha! on Are Relational Databases Obsolete? · · Score: 4, Funny

    The next big thing in DBMS:
    turning your head sideways.

  16. Re:Naw, clearly global warming on Some Moray Eels Have Two Sets of Jaws · · Score: 1

    Okay. That was random. Lie down, elevate your head above your rectum (to reverse the flow).

    Perhaps you're consuming too many petroleum products.

    I suggest sequestering some carbon, take two aspirin, and post again in the morning.

  17. Hoo Boy on Air Force Mistakenly Transports Live Nukes Across America · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Here's the big problem with the incident:
    The missiles sat around for ten hours unguarded. One or all of the warheads could have been removed and diverted to anybody...

    There is another subtle, but still important problem:
    The flight crew had no idea they were transporting nukes.

    This was a 'Pinnacle' event.

  18. Re:ObPedantic on Realtime ASCII Goggles · · Score: 5, Funny

    Yeah, I was going to insert the clause, 'add unicode and some funky characters,' but I was distracted by the woman in the red dress.

    *kicks can*

    C'mon, that's my favorite part.

  22. Re:Cory on Science Fiction Writers Write DMCA Takedowns · · Score: 4, Funny

    The reverberating roar of the Doctorow's engines filled the air - an almost palpable presence. The noise beat on Burt like a mob of angry asimovs as he scuttled through the rubble. "What have I gotten myself into now?" he wondered. He slid his rad meter from his belt and ruefully calculated his exposure - more than 500 heinlein.

  24. Re:The ESRB should stand strong. on ESRB Refuses To Detail Manhunt 2 Re-Rating Logic · · Score: 1

    *Psst!*

    Listing your puerile accidents isn't increasing your credibility, or making us feel more secure about allowing you the 'freedom' to drive at 90 MPH on the freeway.

    I have a suggestion. Follow the damn speed limit.

    Express your freedom by protesting, advocating whatever you want, freely assembling, pursuing happiness. Move where you want. Work at what you want to. Associate with whoever you want to.

    Oh, and I hope you pay better attention now while you're driving, or your license will likely acquire unwanted 'rating points' from your insurer.

  25. CD Prices and Slothful Government on HMV Canada Cuts Music CD Prices · · Score: 5, Insightful

    So when will CD prices dip below DVD prices?

    Also, from TFA:
    "A succession of Canadian governments have sat on their hands and done nothing," he said.

    Excellent. That's the best kind of government. The type that doesn't make laws just to please some industry group.
