  1. Re:In other words on Ancient Megadrought Entombed Dodos In Poisonous Fecal Cocktail · · Score: 3, Funny

    The dodo was in doodoo.

  2. Re:Laggy on Researchers Mount Cyberattacks Against Surgery Robot · · Score: 1

    You can now literally be hacked.

  3. Re:Live on Spock and the Legacy of Star Trek · · Score: 5, Funny

    I'm pretty sure his shirt was white and gold.

  4. Re:Not sure why we'd listen to Michael Mann on Michael Mann: Swiftboating Comes To Science · · Score: 2

    Heat is the one about climate change.

  5. Re:These idiots are going to ruin it for everyone on Drone Sightings Near Other Aircraft Up Dramatically · · Score: 1

    According to that logic pilots didn't see that many birds a few years ago and are now suddenly seeing more birds. I'm pretty sure they're seeing drones.

  6. Re:Cars will be the secondary market on Will the Google Car Turn Out To Be the Apple Newton of Automobiles? · · Score: 1

    Sounds like a dream scenario for robbers. The truck will drive defensively and will stop when blocked by another car. It won't evade. So now we need a terminator on each truck.

  7. Profit on Mobile Phone Use Soon To Be Allowed On European Flights · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I'm buying stock in companies that manufacture noise cancellation headphones. Last thing I want is someone in close proximity talking on a phone.

  8. Re:Only cost them 25 percent of customer bills? on Small Restaurant Out-Maneuvers Yelp In Reviews War · · Score: 2

    Is that "right to be forgotten" law applicable to Yelp or only Google?

  9. Re:Is the history he teaches incorrect? on Bill Gates Wants To Remake the Way History Is Taught. Should We Let Him? · · Score: 1

    I watched the Big History TV series and was unimpressed. They attempt to make connections between items spanning billions of years eg. Kennedy was killed by a bullet, lead is formed in supernovas. It feels as if the episodes suffer from ADD. Not enough time is spent on a single subject.

    What exactly is wrong with the way history is teached? Or is old Bill trying to rewrite a few bits to fit his vision?

  10. Re:Too simple on Low-Carb Diet Trumps Low-Fat Diet In Major New Study · · Score: 1

    So that's where you got your nick.

  11. Re:LOL on South Carolina Student Arrested For "Killing Pet Dinosaur" · · Score: 2

    It is illegal to hunt extinct animals.

  12. Re:Cut out the middle man! on Solar Plant Sets Birds On Fire As They Fly Overhead · · Score: 1

    You realize you're a Black Parrot right?

  13. Re:Stupid on Apple's Diversity Numbers: 70% Male, 55% White · · Score: 1

    Apple must work on their diversity. All their products are white!

  14. Re:Pretty stupid reasoning on Author Charles Stross: Is Amazon a Malignant Monopoly, Or Just Plain Evil? · · Score: 1

    "mispellings". +1 ironic :). You make good points though.

  15. Re:The Million Dollar Question on Mystery MLB Team Moves To Supercomputing For Their Moneyball Analysis · · Score: 1

    Ironically your nick is the surname of a well known South African cricket player.

  16. Obvious on The Hobbit and Game of Thrones Top Most Pirated Lists of 2013 · · Score: 0

    Fans of those movies / shows are more into gaming / software and know how to use torrents and usenet. There will always be a percentage of people who pirate material. The industry should just accept that and move on.

  17. Re:Two additional words on The Feathered Threat To US Air Superiority · · Score: 1

    Heh, I was also thinking Star Trek. Put some money into shielding tech that we can also use in space.

  18. Re: Another day, another anti-Apple story on Apple Blocks Lawrence Lessig's Comment On iOS 7 Wi-Fi Glitch · · Score: 1

    "oil-on-the-censor". I see what you did there.

  19. Re:No, because reality is FUCKING BORING on Gravity: Can Film Ever Get the Science Right? · · Score: 1

    I disagree. Reality can be entertaining. Like on The Avengers when Thor uses the metal tower to focus Mjolnir, that's real application of science.

  20. Creative directory on Battlefield Director: Linux Only Needs One 'Killer' Game To Explode · · Score: 1

    Really timoth?

  21. Re:So stop using corks on Molecule In Corked Wine Plugs Up Your Nose · · Score: 1

    Boxes are easy to transport and may be subject to different taxation. The downsides are quite bad: higher sulphur content, looks tacky and no flow of air to soften tannins once opened.

  22. Re:Better plots? on Hollywood's Love of Analytics Couldn't Prevent Six Massive Blockbuster Flops · · Score: 1

    I think he was referring to Daniel Craig in the Dragon Tattoo remake, not modern James Bond movies.

  23. Re:I remember when... on The Trajectory of Television: A Big History of the Small Screen. · · Score: 4, Funny

    I liked his story better.

  24. Name already in use on Dreambox: the World's First 3D Printing Vending Machine · · Score: 0

    There already exists a popular Linux based satellite receiver called Dreambox.

  25. Re:Grammer perhaps? on Chicago Sun Times Swaps iPhone Training For Staff Photographers · · Score: 3, Interesting

    "Grammer". You're one to complain.
