  1. Re:At least this will prove zombies don't exist on George Lucas to Resurrect Dead Movie Stars? · · Score: 1

    The Phantom Menace was pretty funny, though not intentionally.

  2. Freedom of press...but watch what you say! on US To Host World Press Freedom Day · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Freedom is what we let you have until you piss us off. Then we'll trump up some charges and call you a rapist.

  3. Re:Recycle scripts? on George Lucas to Resurrect Dead Movie Stars? · · Score: 1

    The movie Looker dealt with the moral issues of digitizing actors even back in 1981. And it also had a naked Susan Dey (back when that was actually something you WANTED to see) and that cool gun.

  4. Maybe someday we'll be able to go to the moon on SpaceX Falcon 9 and Dragon Make It To Orbit · · Score: 0

    It's a helluva lot farther than LEO, but some day man may actually walk there.

  5. Re:At least this will prove zombies don't exist on George Lucas to Resurrect Dead Movie Stars? · · Score: 1

    Hey, why not. He already did it to Harrison Ford's corpse.

  6. At least this will prove zombies don't exist on George Lucas to Resurrect Dead Movie Stars? · · Score: 5, Funny

    If Orson Welles doesn't crawl out of his grave and strangle this arrogant, money-grubbing motherfucker with his own intestines, then at least we finally know that the dead are *truly* and *forever* gone.

  7. Re:Creating own award on China's Influence Widens Nobel Peace Prize Boycott · · Score: 2

    Confucius say this year's prize goes to the brave hero who drove his tank into Tiananmen Square to strike a blow for peace against violent, anarchist protesters!

  8. But NASA would never overhype something on NASA's 'Arsenic Microbe' Science Under Fire · · Score: 2

    I refuse to believe that NASA would have a press conference for mere PR and self-promotional purposes. That's *completely* out of character.

  9. You can't fix stupid on Google Wants To Take Away Your Capslock Key · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Those of us who use it sparingly or for specialized reasons will be deprived of it. And those who USE IT TO ON EVERYTHING WITHOUT REALIZING IT'S THE EQUIVALENT OF SHOUTING will still be stupid. And stupid people will find a way to be annoying no matter what you do.

    You could take every key but "a" away and websites/services will still be filled with denizens sporting aol email addressees posting:

    aaaaaaaaaaaaaa

  10. Re:Oh happy day on PC Era Forecasted To End In 18 Months · · Score: 1

    More likely, the year Steve Jobs declares himself President For Life and begins a reign of terror that makes the French Revolution look benign.

  11. A red satellite?!? on Rogue Satellite Shuts Down US Weather Services · · Score: 5, Funny

    Goddamn Commies finally attacked! To your bunkers, citizens!

  12. Re:Sorry, no "dirty tricks" campaign here... on Wikileaks Founder Arrested In London · · Score: 1

    You think that when an intelligence agency recruits plants, that "longtime activists" aren't EXACTLY who they try to recruit first? Ernest Withers was a "longtime activist" in the civil rights movement too.

  13. Re:Ooh ooh! I know this one! on 'I Just Need a Programmer' · · Score: 2

    Hey, mock it all you want, a lot of us learned html and got our first webpage thanks to Geocities. It's not like there were a ton of sites back in 1994 offering free web space (something we pretty much take for granted now). And it cost a lot more than $5-$10 a month back then if you wanted to buy webspace too.

  14. Re:Wtf title? on Wikileaks Competitor In the Works · · Score: 1

    I find it most amusing that these people don't seem to realize that all this dissension in the ranks is no doubt being encouraged by the CIA and others who would discredit and silence Wikileaks. It wouldn't surprise me a bit to find that most of this competitor's funding is coming from U.S. government coffers (whether the forkers realize it or not).

    Just another front of the smear campaign to try to discredit Assange and Wikileaks. Next they'll be trying to frame him for links to terrorists, or painting him as a dupe by exposing the fake leaks that they've no doubt been trying to send him, or alleging that he's in cahoots with "bad" countries or their intelligence operations, and probably calling him a child molester too.

  15. Re:Well, we've finished with the hard part on Sahara Solar To Power Half the World By 2050 · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Well it certainly worked that way with the oil and diamonds.

  16. Re:Dolly Parton on Dolly the Sheep Alive Again · · Score: 1

    You guys suck.

  17. Well, we've finished with the hard part on Sahara Solar To Power Half the World By 2050 · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Now all we have to do is build a massive worldwide network of new transmission lines, stabilize the governments of Africa, and get every country in the world to agree on how the power is to be shared.

  18. Re:*looks at christmas tree* on British Aircraft Carrier For Sale On Auction Site · · Score: 5, Funny

    When I was a kid I asked Santa for the USS Intrepid, back when that was up for sale. All I got in response was a note chiding me for unreasonable expectations and letting me know how many elves were hurt trying to reload the ordnance.

    I got a Logistics Support Submarine the next year. But it just wasn't the same.

  19. Re:I feel about PETA like PETA seems to feel about on Tofu Activists Spoof Meat-Based Indie Game · · Score: 0

    We know that any *true* vegan would have a Mac. I bet you don't even drive a Prius or own a bike, do you?

    Call us back when you're *really* ready to smugly proclaim yourself better than everyone else, poseur.

  20. Re:Can't see a reason in the Acceptable Use Policy on Wikileaks Booted From Amazon · · Score: 2

    I had a read of the Acceptable Use Policy above and I can't see any grounds

    You missed unwritten rule #13: "Any content that could get us a bunch of shit from the government or our shareholders, or interfere in any way with our ability to make fuckloads of money, is considered offensive and will be removed."

  21. Re:New Hollywood business model on Torrent Users Fight Back · · Score: 1

    Hollywood was doing #1 long before the internet.

  22. Re:Why do we keep talking about her? on Sarah Palin 'Target WikiLeaks Like Taliban' · · Score: 1

    I wish I could agree that she was unelectable. Hell, I wish it just went without saying.

  23. Re:I Disagree with Your Assessment on Sarah Palin 'Target WikiLeaks Like Taliban' · · Score: 1

    Actually, the Kennedy's in general and JFK in particular DESERVE to be ripped apart--but not for the vapid reasons that Sarah Palin's ghost writer came up with.

  24. Re:I'd say... on Sarah Palin 'Target WikiLeaks Like Taliban' · · Score: 4, Funny

    You don't need to hunt fame whores. Just set up a camera and they'll come to you.

  25. Re:Bullshit on Interpol Issues Wanted Notice For Julian Assange · · Score: 1

    Beneath Interpol? God I hope you were joking.
