  1. So what? on Oil Means More Arsenic In Seawater · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Fish don't vote.

    Drill, baby! Drill!

    Palin / Haliburton 2012!!

  2. FBI bait? on "Accidental" Download Sending 22-Year-Old Man To Prison · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I bet that's what the guy downloaded, given the description of how the FBI just shows up and knows exactly what to look for.

    If so, the good luck explaining your way out of that.

  3. The answer is "Netbooks" on Windows 7 Share Grows At XP's Expense · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Windows 7 Netbooks are selling pretty well, better than XP Netbooks did, and unscientific, anecdotal evidence indicates that a good percentage of PC users (Including laptop owners) are buying Netbooks to add to their "fleet".

    It's hard to argue with a $200 price tag.

  4. For a second there... on Creating a Quantum Superposition of Living Things · · Score: 1

    I read the title as "Creating a Quantum Suppository"

  5. No "Haha" tag? on Local Privilege Escalation On All Linux Kernels · · Score: 1

    Seriously? Windows and Mac vulns get the tag, why not Linux?

    Linux exploits are no laughing matter, maybe?

  6. This is the kind of research I can get behind! on Artist Wins £20,000 Grant To Study Women's Butts · · Score: 1

    As in, you know, behinds.


    Ahem.

  7. Funny cat business model on Google Losing Up To $1.65M a Day On YouTube · · Score: 1

    Hmm, turns out it's really hard to monetize funny cat videos and people falling off of stuff.

    Who knew?

  8. So now they are charging for stolen content? on Pirate Bay To Offer VPN For $7 a Month · · Score: 1, Troll

    Why don't they just give away free VPN access? Aren't they all about protecting "Freedom"

    Their porno ads should make them enough money already.

  9. Re:You know whats ironic? on China's New Military Space Stations Coming Soon · · Score: 1

    You do know that China invaded Vietnam right after the US pulled out, right?

  10. Wall-Mart? on $100 Linux Wall-Wart Now Available · · Score: -1, Redundant

    Why do I keep reading that as Wall-Mart?

  11. Re:WOW on MacBook's "Unremovable" Battery Easy To Remove · · Score: 1

    20 minutes for 16 screws? Ah, I remember when I got my first screwdriver too.

  12. Ah, good times! on Scripting In Commodore BASIC For Windows & Linux · · Score: 1

    5 CLS
    10 INPUT "WHAT IS YOUR NAME?"; A$
    15 IF A$ = "JOE" THEN GOTO 50
    20 PRINT "YOU ARE NOT AS COOL AS JOE, SORRY!"
    30 FOR I = 1 TO 10000
    35 NEXT I
    40 GOTO 5
    50 FOR I = 1 TO 20
    55 PRINT "JOE IS COOL!"
    60 NEXT I
    70 FOR I = 1 TO 10000

  13. Simple solution on Do Software Versions Really Matter? · · Score: 1

    Just add "Pro" to the end of the product name, and you're done!

    No, I'm not a business consultant, but I stayed at a Holiday Inn last night.

  14. Can't they just share? on China To Run Out of IPv4 Addresses In 830 Days · · Score: 2, Funny

    Can't they just all use the same IP address just like they all shared the same license key of Windows XP?

  15. Re:Penny Arcade called it on Microsoft To Announce Jerry Seinfeld Ads Cancelled · · Score: 1

    Hey Microsoft want a advertising campaign that will make everyone love vista? Give the Vista Home edition away to EVERYONE. make it free as a downloadable ISO without support on your website and overnight everyone will love you.M

    Will they actually have to install Vista though?

  16. Re:What? on Colfer Asked To Write Sixth HHGTTG Book · · Score: 1

    Would the combined result be The Book of Lost Tales of the Dragon Hitchhikers of Dune?

    ...Turn on the reactor!

  18. Re:Windows Gurus vs Apple Geniuses on Best Buy + Windows Guru = Apple Store Experience? · · Score: 1

    Maybe you are asking the wrong questions to the wrong people?

    If you are asking Linux questions to a an Apple or BestBuy rep at a retail floor it might be a lot like complaining about your Volvo's air conditioner to the Kawasaki salesman.

  19. Re:It was an accident on Anti-Government Webmaster Shot Dead By Russian Police · · Score: 4, Funny

    "Did you see a sign out in front of my house that said 'Dead Ivan Storage?'"

  20. Re:We've heard this before on Leaping the Uncanny Valley · · Score: 1

    For me it was the exaggerated expressions (Not a software fault in this case) and the eyes.

    Always the eyes, even at that distance and in the small size presented they look wrong somehow.

  21. Scraper? on Mars Soil Frustrates Phoenix Again · · Score: 1

    Dear NASA, build a scraper on the next soil sample scooper.

    Kthxbye.

  22. Re:but wait... on Antarctica Once Abutted Death Valley · · Score: 1

    It was really called JoeTheAppleGuyLand.

    Although back then it was originally known as JoeTheZX81GuyLand.

    Pluto was still a planet, by the way.

  23. Honey, I shrunk the MacBook! on A Video Tour of the MSI Wind and Other Netbooks · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Yikes, that MSI Wind looks, ah...familiar.

  24. Re:Thank god. on Ares V Rocket Bigger and Stronger For Moon Mission · · Score: 5, Funny

    Little known fact, but the mass of a male African elephant is a common unit of measure used at NASA and other space agencies.

    for smaller masses the female Albanian shrew is the preferred unit.

  25. SNL Harry Caray moment on NASA Tests Hypersonic Blackswift · · Score: 2, Funny

    Right after the FOX talking head asked "How much would this cost?" I seriously expected him to ask the NASA guy if he would eat the plane if it was made of barbecue spare ribs.
