  1. Iron curtain on Homeland Security To Scan Citizens Exiting US · · Score: 1

    An iron curtain has descended across the continent.

  2. Fat Safe Children on NY Bill Proposes Fat Tax On Games, DVDs, Junk Food · · Score: 1

    The kids are fat because we keep them so safe. Look at any playground none of the fun equipment remain. No merry-go-rounds, short lame slides and swings. monkey bars are small and lame. => Fat children

  3. Re:I'm ready... on Ray Kurzweil's Vision of the Singularity, In Movie Form · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Yeah, this is a lot like how I think a matter transporter would work. Make a copy and then destroy the original. Star Trek makes it all look so clean, but you never get to see Skotty cleaning all the meaty corpses out from under the transporter pad.

  4. Re:Summary of Kurzweil's "ideas" on Ray Kurzweil's Vision of the Singularity, In Movie Form · · Score: 1

    You see the problem with copying the human mind is that it works by virtue of a bunch of little men in your head. Also they in turn have a bunch of little men in there head. This goes on ad infinitum. So your computer can never simulate an infinity of something therefor it's impossible.

    Now did you hear the one about Achilles and this turtle.

  5. Re:Bah! on Brazilian Pirates Hijack US Military Satellites · · Score: 1

    We all know noodly Finite State Machines only contribute to global warming.

  6. Re:How is that different from F5? on F5 Fires Back On Open Source SSL Accelerator · · Score: 5, Funny

    I once worked on binary load lifters which are very similar to your F5 load balances in many respects.

  7. large conveyor belts on NYC Wants Ideas For "Taxi Technology 2.0" · · Score: 1

    Place large conveyor belts all throughout the city. Let people ride them at will. Place cameras at the end of the belt where hilarity ensues. Charge to watch on payperview and it pays for the whole system.

  8. Re:Or they're terrified on Study Finds the Pious Fight Death Hardest · · Score: 1

    I'll just recant on my death bed. I hear the devil lost Mussolini that way.

  9. Re:Or they're terrified Or People Love them on Study Finds the Pious Fight Death Hardest · · Score: 2, Insightful

    They have a close family that loves them more often. The others in the sample may be people that are all jaded and broke all ties with family and community (including religion) and don't care as much.
    This does not mean atheists don't care if they live. What it does mean is the people break off from both communities but the loner stones get lumped back into the atheist group.
    It's a broken study. Lovers fight harder than haters, regardless.

  10. Re:Ignorance Really Is Bliss on NASA's Orbiting Carbon Observatory Set For Launch Tomorrow · · Score: 1

    You're still using denier's what is this the era of Charlemagne. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_denier

  11. Re:Environmental issues on Stimulus Could Kickstart US Battery Industry · · Score: 1

    Don't worry we don't actually manufacture the batteries here. We advance them into boxes and use them on ego-fiendly hy-breads.

  12. Possibly the end for Windoes? on Draconian DRM Revealed In Windows 7 · · Score: 1

    I thought this is why no one wanted Vista. Lessons not learned it's just Vista II. DRM posing as an OS. Windows is just less capable than Linux. It's limited in what file systems you can use. You have to use there FAT-n-FLABBY gui interface. I bet you need a quad core processor and 1 TB of ram just to boot it. I say FOO!

  13. Re:Read the bills! on Net Neutrality Still Lives · · Score: 1

    Get 600 people. Have each one read a page and raise a flag on ridiculous BS.
    Maybe Amazon's mechanical turk would work well for this.
    Parallel systems rock.

  14. Scan my Brain for reproduction at a later date. on IBM Creates MRI With 100M Times the Resolution · · Score: 1

    I have a computer monitor my brain activity while I sleep. So in case of an accident I just reload the image into a cloned body.

    Go Team Venture!!

  15. Utterly Perposterous on Space Litter To Hit Earth Tomorrow · · Score: 1

    This tank is filled with anahydrous ammonia not ice. This volitile chemical will disperse when the tank breaks open. But this is a chemial and thats NASA so OOH SCARY! BOOGA BOOGA! CHEMICALS! There will be ninja turtles everywheer.
    If you could buy an actual chemistry set mayby we wouldn't see this ignorent B.S. being propegated in the press and being swallowed by comicbook weeners on slashdot.

  16. For linux users on Streaming Election Night Broadcast TV? · · Score: 1

    Is you can't/won't install silverlight and can't get windos media plaer or fake media plaer to work, the BBC has a flash stream that they used to showed the debate.

  17. I don't think that means what you think it means. on Mozilla Unveils Aurora Concept Browser · · Score: 1

    As I under stand it, bleeding edge means new but not too new. So bleeding edge is firefox 3 not Aurora. So the correct analogy here is cutting edge or leading edge.

    Jeez, you sound like a complete moron when you get it wrong.
    Now, make like a tree and get out of here!

  18. Finely crafted argument! on Nokia Urges Linux Developers To Be Cool With DRM · · Score: 1

    This is Chewbacca and if Chewbacca lives on endore we must think of the children.
    And if we think of the children we have to include DRM in OSS.
    Otherwise divices could go unlocked and we just can't allow that.

    So in summing up Chewbacca, the children, use DRM.

  19. Re:The first question that popped into my head was on Pringles Can Designer Dies, Buried In a Pringles Can · · Score: 1

    Funeral chips are creepy.

  20. Re:Eee PC on OLPC's XO As a Wireless Hacking Tool · · Score: 1

    What's wrong with the OLPC screen besides being a little small. I find that under non-ideal conditions (Outside) it has the only screen that actually works.
    The only real trouble I had was a stuck key that I fixed by peeling up the contact surface and sticking a tiny piece of double sided tape in there to act as a spacer.

  21. Re:Just tweeked my XO on OLPC's XO As a Wireless Hacking Tool · · Score: 1

    I have an XO too. I must resist trying this at work.

  22. News Flash on OLPC's XO As a Wireless Hacking Tool · · Score: 4, Funny

    Computers can be used for hacking.
    Obviously this must be stopped now! Think of the children.
    Once they gain this forbidden knowledge, they'll threaten the social order in the god forsaken dirt hole where they live.

    1. Distribute computers.

  24. The little dots particle strikes? on Breaking the Fermilab Code · · Score: 1

    Those dots you speak of could be particle strikes on a film.
