  1. Re:That irony can be so ironic sometimes on China Starts Censoring Phone Calls Mid Sentence · · Score: 2

    Clearly, in not supporting me, you're worse than Hitler.

  2. That irony can be so ironic sometimes on China Starts Censoring Phone Calls Mid Sentence · · Score: 5, Funny

    The New York Times publishes an article about China's great firewall, and puts it behind a firewall.

    NASA is dead under every President since Johnson.

    FTFY.

  4. Re:Choice quotes on NASA's Orion Moon Craft Unveiled · · Score: 1

    Rep. Ed Perlmutter and Sen. Michael Bennet, Colorado Democrats who pressed Obama to salvage the Orion project, said they were confident the spacecraft will fly

    In an unrelated story, Lockheed Martin announces a $35 million training center for Orion in Colorado.

  5. Re:Wow, what will THAT outlet look like? on Experimental Batteries Charge In Minutes · · Score: 1

    Adds a whole new element of danger to a fender bender. I like it.

    I'm sorry, but I just don't trust former Nazis.

    Solar and Wind is such a drop in the bucket, it's a joke.

    But the hippies told me it would work, dammit!

    Maybe each gas station could build an adjacent nuclear reactor.

  9. Re:Did I miss something? on Iran Unveils Flying Saucer Using Old B-Movie Stock Photo · · Score: 1

    If it's goatse, that just makes me want to click it even more.

  10. Wow, what will THAT outlet look like? on Experimental Batteries Charge In Minutes · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Considering the hassle I had just getting a 220-volt outlet to power my dryer installed at my house, I'd hate to think what the electrician is going to say when I tell him I want an outlet that can deliver enough power to drive my car 100 miles--and deliver it in just a few minutes. Poor bastard is going to have a heart attack.

    I apologize in advance for my lack of electrical knowledge. But would anything resembling modern standard household wiring even be able to handle that?

  11. Did I miss something? on Iran Unveils Flying Saucer Using Old B-Movie Stock Photo · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I actually read the articles (yes, I know it's a sin) and I didn't see any reference to the picture they released ACTUALLY coming from a movie. The headlines *joke* that it *looks* like something from a B-movie, but the summary seems to take that seriously.

    The picture may be a mock-up, and the claimed craft may be a bunch of bullshit (with some of the crazy claims coming from Iran lately, who knows), but I don't see any news sources saying they actually stole the picture from a specific movie. I will say though, that, for a country completely devoid of homosexuals, they sure do have an unusual bent for the theatrical.

  12. Re:Why Not? on US Gov't Sides Against Microsoft In i4i Patent Case · · Score: 1

    I don't even understand what the Justice Department is suggesting here. Are they saying that any lawsuit involving a patent should immediately be ruled for in favor of the plaintiff??? That's fucking insane.

  13. Re:The most respectable party in those briefs for on US Gov't Sides Against Microsoft In i4i Patent Case · · Score: 1

    This is a rare case where the EFF and MS are on the same side. If i4i prevails, it will be another in a long line of successful patent troll cases that will ultimately make it impossible for any independent developer to develop any software or hardware without immediately being hit by a dozen lawsuits.

  15. Re:wrong on Duke Nukem Forever Multiplayer Mode Predictably Controversial · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Most people agree that violence against women is wrong.

    No, most people agree that violence against INNOCENT women is wrong (men too, for that matter). Cops beat down drunken, crazy women all the time. Soldiers shoot them if they're carrying a rifle or bomb. And if one of them is coming at you with a knife, I'm pretty sure you're not going to give her flowers.

    You *DO* support women's equality, right? Because you sure sound like a sexist to me.

    On April 1st, when Gearbox reveals it was all an elaborate April fool's Day joke.

  17. Re:Yeah, my heroes on Google Accuses China of Interfering With Gmail · · Score: 1

    That was just Google's cover story at first. Read the Wired article above for more details on what the hackers were *really* after (and they apparently actually got some of it too).

    And sometimes companies just want to make money. In fact, that's *all* they want to do.

  19. Much as I love Martin Freeman on The Hobbit Finally Starts Shooting · · Score: 1

    Okay I love Martin Freeman from The Office, but isn't he a little old for the role? I guess he is pretty short at least.

    And frankly, I still think this whole thing is going to fall apart at some point. Jackson and the studio have been at each other's throats for a long time. I sense a very unamicable parting of the ways coming pretty much any day, shooting or not.

  20. Re:Yeah, my heroes on Google Accuses China of Interfering With Gmail · · Score: 1

    Yeah, only after China tried to steal their source code. Again, Google was fine with this until China actually threatened their profits by trying to steal their precious search algorithms.

  21. Yeah, my heroes on Google Accuses China of Interfering With Gmail · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Is that the same Google that censors its Chinese search results to block terms like "democracy"? Guess oppression is okay unless you try to steal their source code or interfere with the quality of their services.

  22. Re:Roman gods would be funnier on Texas Bill Outlaws Discrimination Against Creationists In Academia · · Score: 1

    Go with Roman. Anyone with that powerful an empire that lasted for that long *must* have had divine favor. We're still profoundly influenced by them even down to today (unlike those pussy-ass Persians and Mongols).

    Besides, they killed Jesus. Guess that makes their gods stronger.

  23. Re:I don't get it on Facebook Wedding Photos Result In Polygamy Arrest In Michigan · · Score: 1

    Because most societies where polygamy is practiced are inherently unstable. In any society with a 50/50 male to female ratio, polygamy means that for every rich guy with 10 wives, you're going to have 9 pissed-off guys with nothing better to do than to blow shit up and cause trouble. That's why many of those nutball polygamy compounds out in the U.S. west have to periodically throw a bunch of their boys out onto the street to keep from falling apart into chaos.

    It's like Christopher Titus once said. During a disaster, pussies cower in their houses. Real men run to the now-unguarded Ferrari dealerships.
