  1. Re:Crap title on AT&T Wireless Data Still Growing At 1000% · · Score: 4, Funny

    Can I get that in football fields or Libraries of Congress?

    Sure. If you took 1000% of football fields and covered them with 1000% of the books from the Library of Congress you would find the single book that had the secret formula on how AT&T calculated their increased data growth rate. Your mission is to find that book so you can decode the ISBN number to be used as an RSA key to decrypt the 11 herbs and spices of the original Kentucky Fried Chicken recipe so it could be posted without payment on Cooks Source.

  2. Re:Obligatory anti- post on Anti-Smartphone Phone Launched For Technophobes · · Score: 1

    What happens when it comes into contact with a smart phone?

    It never will because the 'Hammer' feature was removed during beta testing.

  3. Video No Longer Available! on TSA Pats Down 3-Year-Old · · Score: 1

    So, the TSA has gotten to YouTube. What's next, the Google itself?

    But seriously, the harassment of this little girl is a clear indication that all parents should enroll their toddlers in "Little Ninja" classes so they can protect themselves from the groping hands of our government.

    The gaul of this woman

    Yes, the French are really just incorrigible that way!

    Ugh, once again my craptastic spelling and lack of coffee prevented me from typing "audacity" so I just mailed it in with "gaul" (which should have been "gall"). To one poster in particular, Kyont (145761), I wish you had given me a chance.

    That "some guy" wouldn't happen to be Martin Luther, "founder" of the Protestant section of Christianity, would it?

    Hmmm, that name seems to ring a bell. No matter, his 'lifetime +70 years' copyright on it has got to be expired by now, right?

    Thank you to all our readers, thanks to all our advertisers and writers... and to everyone who has been supportive and who has been a part of Cooks Source. To one writer in particular, Monica Gaudio, I wish you had given me a chance.

    The gaul of this woman to end her sorry-assed not-really-an-appology by once again blaming the woman she stole from. It also appears she lifted material from Disney, Martha Stewart and many others. Why isn't she blaming them?

    "If none of you had ever put stuff on the www's I would have never been so tired as to steal it and mock you when you called me on it."

    To both of you (and the others who made the same mistake) both parties were women. Ain't no men to balme for this one.

    Finally, the Korean Sausage people can eat their sausages and still use their phones in cold weather.

  9. Re:Now, if only iPod Touch support... on Official Google Voice App Approved For iOS · · Score: 1

    I'm wondering why they restrict it to iPhone only...

    Because Apple wants you to buy their iPhone or iPad ... especially if you already have an iPod touch.

  10. SciFi Skeleton on USB Is the Devil's Connection · · Score: 1

    It always looked like the top half of a SciFi skeleton to me. I guess it's time to up my meds again.

  12. Re:physics has hit a dark brick wall on Most Detailed View of Dark Matter Mapped By Hubble · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Seems like we have reached the limit of our intelligence to further understand the universe.

    It took us how long to get to Relativity? That was only around 100 years ago. Give us a little more time and we'll get it. This isn't a timed test (unless we destroy our planet via wars, pollution, diseases, oppression or a combination thereof).

  13. Re:Look for the unicorn on Most Detailed View of Dark Matter Mapped By Hubble · · Score: 1

    here is a hi-res photo of the "dark matter" lensing.

    Thanks, that picture is much better. I can see the dark matter up there in the corner now. ;-)

    But seriously, since we can't see dark matter why would they post a picture of, well, non-dark matter?

  14. Re:Schmidt might not be worried, but I am. on Facebook Inbox Throws Blow At Google... No Flinch? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    More people shifting from open federated protocols to the closed world of Facebook is a bad thing. I sincerely hope that it doesn't happen.

    AOL had a shot at this and lost it. People are fickle and the 'latest greatest' trends will turn Facebook into the next MySpace within a few more years. What will replace Facebook? That is the billion dollar question.

  15. Meh on Facebook Inbox Throws Blow At Google... No Flinch? · · Score: 1

    These two are going to fight over users, or rather users' personal data? There's enough users and marketing companies to go around. Both of them will prosper by selling out their users. This world is big enough for both of them.

  16. Re:Who foots the bill? on Canada To Mandate ISP Deep Packet Inspection · · Score: 1

    This sounds expensive. Who is going to pay for it? The ISPs? The government?

    Um, the ISP's customers. Either in the form of a rate increase or a "Packet Inspection Tax".

  17. Re:Why the back? on Professor Has Camera Surgically Implanted In the Back of His Head · · Score: 1

    Is there that much interesting stuff going on behind him?

    I guess he could start moonlighting as a cameraman for those "out the back window" shots ... or in reverse POV gay porn movies.

  18. Re:camhat? on Professor Has Camera Surgically Implanted In the Back of His Head · · Score: 1, Funny

    what's wrong with having it on a hat?

    Anyone can put a camera on a hat. It takes real commitment to individuality to get one crammed into the back of your head. I just hope the camera doesn't have the dreaded 'Apple Battery Replacement Plan' that requires you to send it in to get the battery replaced.

  19. Re:A rise? on State-Sponsored CyberAttacks Expected To Rise · · Score: 1

    To know there is a rise you would need to have some kind of baseline on the current situation..

    Even if there are zero now it is reasonable to predict there will be a rise in the number.

    In this house, we obey the laws of Thermodynamics!

    No external power supply they say, well then, either they finally created a perpetual motion machine, or they're getting the energy from some external power supply.

    Excellent Simpsons reference from episode [2F19] The PTA Disbands.

  21. All Your Messages Belong To Us on New Facebook Messaging System Announced · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Facebook wants all your messages so they can mine them for any possible personal information and sell it to the highest bidders. Is anyone surprised?

  22. Re:take a bite of the shiny Apple... on Apple the No. 1 Danger To Net Freedom · · Score: 1

    Steve Jobs has the charisma, vision and instincts of every great information emperor.

    Steve Jobs has the charisma of Money Burns after a few Singapore Slings. And will someone name any great information emperor let alone every one.

    The man who helped create the personal computer 40 years ago is probably the leading candidate to help exterminate it. His vision has an undeniable appeal, but he wants too much control.

    So the man who caused the problem finally wants to fix it? Excellent
