  1. So when it gets there... on Hayabusa Probe Arrives at Destination · · Score: 4, Funny

    Will it use the magical firewheel of protection, or be followed by a hazy clone of itself that mimics its actions?
    /ryu hayabusa... ninja gaiden. ding.

  2. Re:Bullcrap detector... on 6.8GHz 1TB RAM and 2TB HDD Laptop? · · Score: 1

    Actually, I've somehow managed to glitch out my floppy disk drive a few times so that it said that several PETAbytes were in use. It actually said "petabyte", and that was back in Windows 98.

  3. Is it just me... on 6.8GHz 1TB RAM and 2TB HDD Laptop? · · Score: 1

    ... or are those 2TB chips really just CompactFlash cards? Wow... LOTS of BS here.

  4. Re:how much am I payed? on How Much Money do Programmers Really Make? · · Score: 1

    The last time I was renumerated, I was given number 2. That made me sad. But at least I was remunerated $500 for it!

  5. Re:Or you could buy it for the GAMES, you know on Blu Ray Drive Will Cost $100 Per PlayStation 3 · · Score: 1

    250 games in two years? Please. In contrast, the Game Boy Advance has over 2100 titles available for it, and it has been available for only just over four years.

  6. Re:maybe you're rtight? is this fake? on Earth Departure Movie From MESSENGER Spacecraft · · Score: 1

    Also, if you look closely, you can see dirt/dust spots on some of the later images.

  7. Re:It's called proof by repeated assertion on RIAA Hands out more Lawsuits · · Score: 1

    I hate to break my policy of never invoking Godwin's Law, but this was the first thing I thought of when I read your quote:

    "If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it."

    -- Joseph Goebbels (1897-1945), Hitler's Minister of Propaganda

  8. Re:Im not so sure on Everyone Is A Hacker In Training · · Score: 1

    When he said a "good hacker", he was talking about ability, not good vs. bad.

  9. Re:More empty promises from a Bush! on U.S. Broadband Access Falling Behind · · Score: 1

    Unbe-fucking-lievable. Your tone was so ridiculous that I thought you were joking. Any sane, rational person would HAVE to be to say the things you said. That's why I made that post - it was a joke similar to your post.

  10. Re:Google tomorrow? on Google Talk Available Early · · Score: 1

    Not if you believe in predestination. If you were destined to search for something, it would have already been sought in the future.

    Or, if you believe in absolute free will, your present choices may form the course of events in the future in such a way that even if you didn't intentionally search for something, a glitch in the system would make it come up for you anyways.

  11. Finally! on Algae Can Carry Cargo · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    At last, I have something to do with my massive collection of algae: teach them to do tricks! Although the name "Chlamydomonas" is a little too close to "chlamydia" for my tastes. If I have to have an STD do work for me, I'd prefer to use syphilis.

  12. Re:That's awesome. on Toshiba 40GB Perpendicular Magnetic Record Drives · · Score: 1

    Congratulations on missing the "/joke?" line there.

  13. Re:That's awesome. on Toshiba 40GB Perpendicular Magnetic Record Drives · · Score: 1

    Yeah... 3,000 songs isn't far off. Only 25% of what you have on there, right?

  14. That's awesome. on Toshiba 40GB Perpendicular Magnetic Record Drives · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I've been waiting patiently for this. However, I'd like to see them in standard sizes for IDE or SATA, not just for MP3 players... and what's with the whole "40GB is 10,000 songs" thing? What, are all songs recorded so that they'll be compressed to exactly 4MB now?
    /joke?

  15. Re:Meethinks Mr. Jobs Doesn't Realize His Flaw on Mac OS X on x86 Videos Get Apple's Attention · · Score: 1

    I think that the price is for the software more than for the hardware, really. The hardware is produced relatively cheaply. Apparently, Apple has deals with Adobe that include font packages with OSX that cost over $150 EACH, for about 50 fonts per package. Example: the Helvetica Neue font family.

  16. Re:More empty promises from a Bush! on U.S. Broadband Access Falling Behind · · Score: 1

    p.s. copy and paste is passé. ;D

  17. Re:More empty promises from a Bush! on U.S. Broadband Access Falling Behind · · Score: 1

    Oh, STFU, you imperialist, god-complex, holier-than-thou, whitebread fascist Republicrap.

  18. Re:*Moderate* severity on Zotob Worm Hits CNN and Goes Global · · Score: 1

    You know, I wondered if anybody else used that. I have the Sesame Street Advisory System in my sig for a bunch of other sites.

  19. I've always wondered about this. on Reintroduce Megafauna to North America? · · Score: 1

    I've always wondered why most of the world's megafauna has vanished. Why were lifeforms so much bigger in ages past? Dinosaurs, giant sloths, giant sharks, giant plants... all gone, and replaced by what are essentially miniatures. Why the tendency towards smaller sizes? Is it just a question of population density, or is there more involved here?

  20. Come to think of it... on U.S. Broadband Access Falling Behind · · Score: 1

    What about the Amish? How can we have universal internet access with them around?
    My solution: ship them to Canada.

  21. More empty promises from a Bush! on U.S. Broadband Access Falling Behind · · Score: 1

    Bush Jr sez "Read my lips: Universal internet access!"

    Bush Sr sez "Read my lips: No new taxes!"

  22. SPACE MEAT: Obligatory Invader Zim reference on Space Meat Coming to your Kitchen · · Score: 2, Insightful

    SPACE MEAT!
    Well, it all started in 1962... Utilizing advances in modern food synthesis, scientists at NASA began work on a germ hostile space meat to be used into long expeditions in deep space! Only recently has their hard work paid off. As even more advances in the field of space meat have been made and applied to what is now known as operation meat. Seeing this as a way to end their streak of being sued by angry costumers poisoned by their burgers, the Mac Meaties corporation decided to try this miraculous space meat. Not having access to that technology, we make ours out of napkins.

  23. Re:Nice on Bacteria Used to Create Nanowires · · Score: 1

    It's both!

  24. So. on Time-in-Space Record Broken · · Score: 1

    This could be called "A Tale of Two Sergeis." Comedy gold.

  25. Re:Business plan for success... on Microsoft Leveraging iPod Patent? · · Score: 1

    I stand thoroughly and efficiently corrected.
