  1. Re:Now to bring them back on Mystery of the Dying Bees Solved · · Score: 1

    Unless someone finds a way to re-animate them, thus creating the world's first zom-bees !

  2. eLEGs for the masses on eLEGS Exoskeleton Allows Paraplegics To Walk · · Score: 5, Funny

  3. Fell afoul ? on Libya Takes Hard Line On Link Shortening Domains · · Score: 1

    Quite antiquated language - are Libya living in Dickensian times ?

  4. What ? on The Science of Truthiness · · Score: 1

    I think I counted every buzzword currently in use in TF summary - got to read the TFA - I might win the buzzwrod bingo :-)

  5. Re:New blacktop for the road to hell on Giving the Blind Better Web Access · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Well said sir ! Just about every site I create is made as accessible as possible - especially those offering services / goods. If you're offering something, especially in a niche market, then if your site is the one that blind / visually impaired users can use then you'll be the one selling your stuff. Obviously some people want flashy (or flash :| ) sites but I try to dissuade them unless there's a good reason for it. Not saying there ain't a place for fanciness but lots of sites seem to be design led rather than action / results led. Dammit - that last bit looks like a bit of a rant, but sod it - it's staying in ;)

  6. Hempstead on Long Island Town Enacts Tough Cell Tower Limits · · Score: 2, Funny

    I'm moving there - it'll save me a fortune in tin foil hats. Plus "hemp" + "stead" = a town that grows dope ? Great ! :-)

  8. Re:Cool, it's like Intel Upgrade Service for a bra on Deleting Certain Gene Makes Mice Smarter · · Score: 1

    But the title says Re:Cool, it's like Intel Upgrade Service for a bra and doesn't actually mention genes. I'd forgotten WTF the entire thread was about anyway and presumed Intel had somehow invented an upgrade so bras could have more mammary installed. ;)

  9. Another one? on Facebook Competitor Diaspora Revealed · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Really ? When are we going to hit saturation point, there are loads of them all doing roughly the same thing. Unless it does something radically different what does it (or any of the 'smaller' networking site) hope to acheive ?

  10. "ports" and "waterways" on Australian Politician Caught Viewing Porn · · Score: 1

    Heh, eheh, heh or was it butthead :-?

  11. Re:Bad Software on How Good Software Makes Us Stupid · · Score: 2, Funny

  14. Closer on World's First Transcontinental Anesthesia · · Score: 1
  15. iPod related road deaths on Australia To Fight iPod Use By Pedestrians · · Score: 1

    I'm not surprised people are being run over due to not knowing WTF is going on around them - I very often see people walk out into the road with no clue as to traffic.

    The other week friends and I were sat outside the pub at about twilight and this guy cycles past with iPod buds in, no lights, eating chips (fries) with both hands - practically no control over the bicycle at all. A proper "accident waiting to happen".

    Legislation won't make any difference; I think people are just turning stupid.

  16. Microsoft surface on Robot Swarm Control On Microsoft's Surface · · Score: 1

    In Microsoft Surface YOU are overlord of robot swarms !

  17. Re:Use more hemp please on Canadian Cannabis Car · · Score: 2, Interesting

    IIRC it used to be illegal in the UK not to grow hemp. This was back in the days of sailing ships etc. Farmers had to set aside a certain area for hemp cultivation.

  18. Legal wranglings on Nokia Siemens Sued For Providing Monitoring Equipment To Iran · · Score: 3, Insightful

    At a rough guess some lawyers are going to make a load of money out of this. So regardless of the final outcome there will be some winners: That's the way it usually works.

  19. Life 2.0 on Did Sea Life Arise Twice? · · Score: 1

    So we could already be up to Life 2.0 ? I thought it seemed shiny and bright but with some underlying feeling of pointlessness ! ;)

  20. Space robots on Robonaut To Escort On Space Shuttle Mission · · Score: 2, Funny

    For God's sake not a single "robotic overlord" post yet ? It's a fucking ROBOT. IN SPACE !!11!one =P

  21. Cue 'speeding' jokes - here's #1 on Online Forum Speeding Boast Leads To Conviction · · Score: 5, Funny

  22. Re:Trusting the client, eh? on Canonical Begins Tracking Ubuntu Installations · · Score: 1

    You make a good point. Hope they have their data seriously checked for correctness before committing to the database. There could be a whole bunch of "Little Bobby Tables" out there trying stuff out.

  23. Renaming towns on TorrentReactor Reportedly Buys, Renames a Russian Town · · Score: 5, Funny

    Cool, you can buy a town and rename it ? I want to buy Fucking in Austria and name it... err... Sod it, it can stay as it is :)

  24. Re:World Cup 2014 on Artificial Life Forms Evolve Basic Memory, Strategy · · Score: 4, Funny
