  1. Re:Low success rate? on AMBER Alert Partners With Facebook · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Wait... so more than 1% of American children are reported missing each year? Why haven't I heard of a single incident of any of the hundreds of kids I know of being reported missing? Your child stands a much higher chance of getting injured riding in the car with it's parents than of being abducted.

  2. Re:Hindsight is 20-20 on Autism-Vax Doc Scandal Was Pharma Business Scam · · Score: 1

    My kid, born in 2001, got the normal vaccines on the normal schedule. Why? Because she had good pediatricians and I trusted them. In Oregon, you're not allowed to enroll your child in school unless they have been vaccinated.

  3. Re:She's STILL SAYING IT! on Autism-Vax Doc Scandal Was Pharma Business Scam · · Score: 1

    Even in the US, when they stopped using thimerasol as a preservative, autism rates when up, not down.

    Did that stop the parents from blaming the vaccine? No, they just switched to the alternate theory that it's giving multiple vaccines at the same time that causes autism.

  4. Re:Autism VAX? on Autism-Vax Doc Scandal Was Pharma Business Scam · · Score: 1

    I thought a VAX was a vacuum cleaner. Although there is no truth to the rumor that their marketing slogan was, "Nothing sucks like a VAX!"

    In her defense, she's probably had her brains fucked out many, many times over the course of her lifetime!

  6. Re:Traffic jam arrests? on Program Uses GPS To Track Sex Offenders · · Score: 1

    At least somebody caught the Aqualung reference... most of my obscure references are wasted on today's youth. By the way, the lyrics page gives it as "Watching as the frilly panties run". I always thought it was "pretty" as well.

  7. Re:Traffic jam arrests? on Program Uses GPS To Track Sex Offenders · · Score: 1

    Oh, stop with the excuses already! We know the real reason you keep getting stuck in traffic in school zones is your habit of "eying little girls with bad intent"!

  8. Re:Why... on Goodbye Bifocals — Electronic Glasses Change Focus · · Score: 1

    I've got bifocals, and they suck because the reading section is so small. These glasses would also suck, because the reading section is still way too small, requiring you to look down your nose to view a computer terminal. Not exactly the most comfortable position for an 8 hour work day.

  9. Re:Ugh on Goodbye Bifocals — Electronic Glasses Change Focus · · Score: 1

    While we're at it, can we get X-ray vision too? I'm tired of having to guess what women look like naked, and I'm not qualified to work for the TSA!

  10. Captive audience on Japanese Airline to Offer Draft Beer · · Score: 1

    I thought the $8-$9 they charged for beer at basketball games was outrageous... for $11.30, I think I could carry a six-pack in my carry-on.

  11. Re:Lame on How To Use a Real Guitar With Rock Band 3 · · Score: 1

    So practicing on the rock band drum set might be of some use since 90% of drumming is timing, but the guitar would probably just teach you bad habits.

  12. Re:Lame on How To Use a Real Guitar With Rock Band 3 · · Score: 1

    Joe Perry also refuses to play Aerosmith Guitar Hero against his son, because he knows he'll get creamed... so there is plenty of anecdotal evidence that being the guitarist that actually recorded the track in the first place is not much help in playing the game!

    That still leaves as an open issues whether or not being good at the game is a help or a hindrance in learning the actual guitar riffs.

  13. Re:Yawn Comics on Evolution of the Batmobile · · Score: 1

    I agree. The real life batmobiles, like the 1958 Corvette based batmobile are much more attractive and inspiring than the comic version.

  14. Re:Lame on How To Use a Real Guitar With Rock Band 3 · · Score: 1

    The only thing the rock band game controllers teach you is timing; I'm still undecided how useful that experience is in learning to play real music. Rock Band also forces you to concentrate on a single instrument in the music which may be useful for memorizing the song, but then it teaches you a completely false senses of what the actual notes are.

  15. Re:And another one... on Evolution of the Batmobile · · Score: 1

    That Greek batmobile is so delightfully campy and retro, you can just picture Adam West cruising around in it!

  16. Re:Bad argument. on Assange Could Face Execution Or Guantanamo Bay · · Score: 1

    ...shanked the queen of Sweden...

    "Shanking"?!? Is that what you young-uns are referring to shagging as these days?

  17. Re:Uh on Assange Could Face Execution Or Guantanamo Bay · · Score: 1

    Sure, no charges have been laid, but 2 Swedish girls _have_ been laid!

  18. Re:Uh on Assange Could Face Execution Or Guantanamo Bay · · Score: 1

    Given the recent events in Arizona and the statements by people that having a Republican President is the MOST IMPORTANT OBJECTIVE, it is even more frightening to consider that we are only 2 bullets away from having a "President Boehner".

  19. Re:Yawn Comics on Evolution of the Batmobile · · Score: 3, Funny

    My spidey sarcasm senses are tingling!

  20. They are missing one on Evolution of the Batmobile · · Score: 4, Funny
  21. Re:(luxury) floating data center idea on In the Google Navy · · Score: 1

    That explains the recent push at google to recruit "linux sysadmins who look good in a bikini"...

  22. Inquiring minds want to know on In the Google Navy · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Does owning a $45 million yacht significantly increase your probability of getting laid?

  23. Can I do my own searches? on How Do You Visualize 100 GB of Google Text Data? · · Score: 1

    I like to see what the correlation is between the two words "microsoft" and "sucks".

    Or breastfeeding information either.

    Damn! To think that all these years I've been doing it for free as a highly-skilled amateur!
