  1. Re:MMMM !! GIRAFE !! on Ancient Pompeii Diet Consisted of Giraffe and Other "Exotic'" Delicacies · · Score: 1

    These scientists didn't read Asterix from what it seems!

  2. Re:Extinction is good in this case because... on Researchers: Global Risk of Supervolcano Eruption Greater Than Previously Though · · Score: 1

    In the case a supervolcanoe blows up half of the USA I seriously doubt that you would have much use for a huge passenger port over there.

    We are shivering here too... every time we open the fridge to take the beer out.
    Well, I'm sorry for you guys, but I am wishing for a few more days of warm weather here, I plan to run a 30K trail in a few weeks and I want the weather to stay as lovely as it is now...so sorry that you guys in the US are freezing your balls off.

    Sorry that you have to endure "global cooling" over there.

  5. Holland has bought a few of these on U.S. Waived Laws To Keep F-35 On Track With China-made Parts · · Score: 1

    Our politicians told us that the JSF would bring a LOOOOOT of jobs to our country... to shut us up.
    so, now it seems that the job opportunities this fancy toy will create will be in Beijing.

    "Backdoor Discovered In Netgear and Linkys Routers"

    Obviously the backdoor was in the missing S

  8. Business Opportunities in Space on What Would French Fries Taste Like If You Made Them On Jupiter? · · Score: 2

    Well, this will definitely become the mayor incentive for the Human Colonization of Space: Building snack and fast food factories in Jupiter and Saturn...
    Instead of a the a war between the Federation and the Klingon Empire we will end up with Doritos vs. Pringles and a Starbucks on every asteroid.

    And the worst of it is that it perfectly fits all what already happened with each and every technology util now: Instead of intelligent supercomputers dedicated to advanced science and pure mathematics we have Facebook and porn, instead of flying in UFO at light speed in nice Starfleet uniforms we have fat moms driving their ugly kids to school in an SUV... shit, and the only Androids that we have are nothing more than crappy cordless phones with a few more functions. Shit, shit, shit.

    We should be drinking Vulcanian ale right now in a Klingon tavern :_(

  9. Re:All of the above on The Biggest Tech Mishap of 2013? · · Score: 1

    The latter didn't affect the rest of the world. People outside of the US don't give a fuck about Healthcare.gov... and I bet it's not even close to many of the mayor epic fails that populate the pages of The Register and similar.

    You should just see the mess we have here with our digital travel cards (OV Chipkaart) which is ongoing for a few years right now and which is like a pearl necklace of fuck ups one after the other, from the hardware (easy to crack, 100% error rate) to the software and ending in the administration and politics.

    Of course, we are only 1.7e7 inhabitants in this country but it this happened in the US you would be rioting in the streets.

  10. Re:Not the algorithm we need on How Machine Learning Can Transform Online Dating · · Score: 1

    I've known way too many people with their own defects.

    I only know people with hired ones, as ownership tends to be very expensive.

    Do you have the source code for that or is it just an adaptation of the classical Bullshit Generator?

    OMFG! Can't believe it!
    Can you imagine?

    The times when the internet was ours, when all the stuff was nerdy and interesting, when we used mailing lists, IRC and newsgroups....

    I think I'm going to install Xirc right now! And script the fuck out of it!!!

    %F YEAH MATES!!!! %F

  16. BBC? This is a Liberal TV Station paid by Obama and the Climate Lobby with the only aim of getting the tax money of the hardworking Americans.

  17. And you forgot to think that when it's cold in Antratica the ice is happily frozen on the continent ;)
    And that when the ice is swimming in the water and screwing up ships it's because it is not in the continent any more. How?
    UFO? A million of IPCC minions cutting it into pieces and throwing it into the ocean? Or just plain old melting?

    I assume that it's options 1 and 2, of course. We all know that the Illuminati Pokemon Collectors Club (IPCC) is behind the UFO and is using millions of abducted slaves to break the ice in Antarctica into pieces in in order to hinder the navigation so that nobody could get there and see the Truth. the fact that the people stuck in the ships are Evil Minions themselves just proves how Evil the Illuminati are!!!

    OMG!!! Where are we going to???

    Well, I assume that in Antartica you would expect to find ice, isn't it? Even in the summer.
    But maybe the Anticlimate Priesthood results to be more Roman than the Pope and assume that there is no ice in Antartica, LOL.

    Well, I wouldn't expect less from people who say that the earth is 6000 years old.
