  1. Re:excellent on Global Warming Has Made the North Greener · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Are you aware, that most of the population of the USA lives on the shore?
    Living in a half submerged skyscraper might be novel, but kinda unhealthy.

  2. i wonder which is better on Malware Infects US Power Facilities Through USB Drives · · Score: 1, Insightful

    1. It is stuxnet
    2. it is something else

  3. Re:Sweet! on Ban on Certain Samsung Products Appears Likely ITC Ruling · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Either that, or just wipe all the trivial, already expired or otherwise invalid patents from the registry.

  4. the end of civilization on LG Seeks Sales Ban of Samsung Galaxy Tablet In Korea · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I think this will be the end of civilization. Lawyers don't produce anything useful, so when production stops, the civilization will collapse.

  5. whoa on John McAfee Tells World How He Fooled Cops and Escaped Belize · · Score: 4, Funny

    He must have been planning his escape for years!

  6. Re:As a boxer... Ewwwwww on Your Hands Were Made For Punching According To New Study · · Score: 3, Funny

    sudo!

  7. Re:or maybe on Spider Discovered That Builds Its Own Spider Decoys · · Score: 1

    Maybe this is similar how the irratus bug started.

  8. Re:3 strikes and he's out on In Mississippi: 15-Year Jail Sentence For Selling Pirated Movies and Music · · Score: 0

    Irishman Ciaran Tobin could get away unscathed. He ran over 2 kids in Hungary leaving both of them dead.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ciaran_Tobin_extradition_case
    So yeah, killing people seems to be a lesser crime.

  9. Re:But unfortunately... on John McAfee Accused of Murder, Wanted By Belize Police · · Score: 0

    It is Ganxta Style

  10. Re:Sorry but this sounds like non-news to me on X-Ray Laser For Creating Supercharged Particles · · Score: 4, Funny

    They should also reverse the polarity. That would be cool.

  11. Re:recovering an RFC 1149 "lost packet"??? on WW2 Carrier Pigeon and Undecoded Message Found In Chimney · · Score: 1

    Misconfigured firewall.

  12. Re:So what is the iPhone going to be called, then? on Apple Loses Trademark Claim Against iFone in Mexico · · Score: 1

    I think they could use: iBobo

  13. Re:Just in case you're wondering about the riot co on Google Nexus 4 Prototype Lost In a Bar · · Score: 2

    Several employees of Apple have been reported dead.

  14. Re:Really quite... on Rare Photos: Gnu Crashing a Windows 8 Launch Event · · Score: 1

    And linux uses the hardware, right? :D

  15. Re:Oblig on Kurzweil: The Cloud Will Expand Human Brain Capacity · · Score: 1

    Yeah, he surely got a clouded mind.

  16. Re:Wow on Curiosity Spies Unidentified, Metallic Object On Mars · · Score: 1

    If there is just one mutation that allows switching from whale meat to "undisclosed other nutrient", then some bacteria will switch.
    After the mass extinction event, those will thrive in their changed for optimal environment.

    If there was no such mutation, then the whole question was moot.

  17. Re:Equivalent of peeking without killing it ?! on Quantum Measurements Leave Schrödinger's Cat Alive · · Score: 0

    You know the cat is alive. But opening the box has 50% of killing it.

    If the cat can "measure" the quantum state by its death, then it counts as "opening the box" too.

  18. This is where someone will say... on Advertisers Never Intended To Honor DNT · · Score: 5, Informative

    What ads? I use noscript and adblock.

  19. Re:A little unclear on entanglement on Quantum Key Exchange With an Airplane · · Score: 1

    But, this is the same as having a sheet of paper with the same word written on it.

  20. Re:Good to keep in mind on How the Critics of the Apollo Program Were Proven Wrong · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Launching satellites is cheap compared to the benefit. Launching humans is not, yet.

  21. Re:Baldur's Gate? on EA Exec Won't Green Light Any Single Player-Only Games · · Score: 1

    That is false rumour. BioWare abandoned Baldur's Gate. The company working on Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition is Overhaul Games. It consists of former BioWare workers and works with modders who kept the game alive in the past 10 years spent abandoned by BioWare.

  22. Re:Does he have a stading to sue? on Bruce Willis Considering Legal Action Against Apple Over iTunes Collection · · Score: 1

    Isn't the right thing supposed to be also the ethical thing?

    If you meant they are different,
    the ethical thing is obviously what he does, but
    the right thing he should do is obviously to buy the stuff 3x=$3000 from his $3B income and be happy for the net gain.

  23. Re:Does he have a stading to sue? on Bruce Willis Considering Legal Action Against Apple Over iTunes Collection · · Score: 1

    I really don't understand the Old Man. He is one of the beneficiaries of these DRM rules. He could buy that collection from a single movie income of his.
    Even if he isn't totally enlightened, his lawyers (who are likely at home in DRM/royalty business) should surely have enlightened him.
    I wish he won, though.

  24. Re:Apple store? Really? on Samsung Opens New Apple Store In Australia · · Score: 1

    I see no half eaten apples displayed.

  25. intent ??? on Arizona Attempts To Make Trolling Illegal · · Score: 2
