  1. I disagree... on New iMac disassembled · · Score: 0

    I dunno whether more fans translate to more noise, it might be in fact the opposite.

    Well, I think you're underestimating how loud the die-hard Mac fans can be, so obviously more of them will generate a lot more noise.

  2. Or... on First Windows Vista Security Update Released · · Score: -1, Troll

    ... as FSM would say: 'Pasta la vista, baby!'

    Hail our Durum Deity!

  3. Subliminal messages? on Mysterious MilkyWay Warp Finally Explained? · · Score: 2, Funny

    * * Beatles-Beatles writes to tell us Space.com is reporting that scientists think that a collision between mysterious 'dark matter' and two of the Milky Way's nearby neighbors may be causing our galaxy to warp 'like a vinyl record left out in the hot Sun.'

    Oh, let me guess... That wouldn't happen to be a Beatles record, now would it?

  4. As the saying goes... on Intel Launches Centrino Duo Notebooks · · Score: 0

    ..."You can judge a book by its cover". So in this case, it seems that the cover of one of the notebooks is slightly faster and has a little better battery time than the other.

  5. Yes, but... on Linux/Unix Tops Charts for Vulnerabilities in 2005 · · Score: 0

    ...they're all derivatives of SCO Unixware, right?

  6. Next name? on Tropical Storm Zeta Forms in Atlantic · · Score: 0

    We had the Katrina, and now there's the Zeta. Will the next storm be called Jones?

  7. My solution... on Knowledge Overload or Internet Lazy? · · Score: 0

    ...to this problem is to just not read TFA. In fact, I barely read the /. blurb. To be completely honest, I didn't even bother to proofread this post in fear of overloading my knowledge circuits. It's not that this post contains so much interesting information, which I don't think it does, but because I barely have space enough in my brain for another 1.45 sitcom series plots. (For those of you who aren't familiar with the Hollywoodian system of metrics, this works out to about 2.7 of these posts or 4.3 Dvorakian rants.)

    On that note, I would apologize in advance if I've ripped off anyones ideas here, but as you might have gathered by now, I can't read any of the posts in fear of blowing a brain fuse.

    I'd also like to take this time to apologize to the readers of this post; if I wasn't too lazy to edit it for content, it might have been excellent. Please just picture a really funny and insightful post, and you have roughly what I intended.

    Thank you, I'll be here all year.

  8. Re:Dual core... on Dual-core Athlon 64 X2 Laptop Reviewed · · Score: 0

    What about those who have only one testicle, you insensitive clod!

  9. American women? on Women Now Outnumber Men Online · · Score: 4, Funny

    "...the larger population of American women tips the balance."

    But does this mean that there are more of them numerically, or that they're so large that they just tip the balance easier? This was rather ambiguous, and I refuse to read TFA to find the answer.

  10. Robot review on Robot Demonstrates Self-awareness · · Score: 0

    No wireless, smaller than an ASIMO. Lame.

  11. Re:Further ways to reduce costs on Virgin Galactic to Build Space Port in New Mexico · · Score: 0

    They probably will save quite a lot already just by building it outside of the USA. Gotta wonder what kind of Visa-implications this will have for Americans who want to travel through there.

  12. What about Hollywood? on NASA Seeks Help Carrying Cargo Into Space · · Score: 0

    With all the movies and TV-series that take place in space that has come out lately, it's pretty obvious that the people in Hollywood has found an economical way to move large structures and vehicles into space. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to film these movies and series like they do, would they? I mean, they even managed to send a star-ship full of actors to the Delta Quadrant, which is very far away, so launching stuff into orbit will be trivial at worst. I can't believe that the NASA people can't get down from their high horses and accept a little help from Hollywood...

  13. Re:Maybe I'm confused ... on Prime Human Cloning Researcher Humiliated · · Score: 0

    I had a narcissitic, abusive, borderline insane advisor; a big shot who got in popular magazines and everything.

    Just a wild guess here, but was your advisor this guy?

  14. Re:Move over hydrogen on Functional Paper V8 Engine · · Score: 0

    So that's why we call the self-propelled cycles for "motorcycles" and why Detroit is known as "Motor City"? ;-)

  15. Coral caches on Functional Paper V8 Engine · · Score: 1, Informative

    Before their server is totally burned down, here's a coral cache of the page:

    http://www.yeesjob.com.nyud.net:8090/images/movie0 3.MOV

    At least the real page doesn't call it a "Functional paper V8 engine", but a "V8-engine paper model". I guess this adds "paper cuts" to the list of workplace injuries for mechanics, eh?

  16. Re:True story... on Copy Machines At Greater Risk During Holidays · · Score: 0

    Yeah, really saucy story you got there, but she was still just a copycat...

  17. Side effects on Scientists Produce Fearless Mice · · Score: 0

    Not all was good; the potential drug seemed to have some side effects.

    Although the mice became fearless, their mobility was reduced due to the vast increase in the size of their testicles, which also seemed to have taken on a shiny metallic tinge. The researchers were also sceptical about the military application for covert operations based on the loud clanking noise that resulted when the mice moved.

  18. Yeah, and? on Smart Bees Continue to Draw Interest · · Score: 1, Funny

    I personally don't see what all the buzz is about...

  19. Job security on Does Visual Studio Rot the Brain? · · Score: 0

    As a UNIX guy dragged kicking and screaming into the Windows world

    Dude, if they physically had to drag you kicking and screaming from your UNIX lab to your Windows computer and they didn't fire you for your outrageous behaviour, then I really don't think you'll ever have to worry about job security.

    Oh, wait... Were you speaking metaphorically?

  20. Overload... on Tux Can Even Milk Cows! · · Score: 0

    "If you're a cow, you want to get milked when you want to get milked. And if you were a dairy farmer, you want to make your cow happy. So what do you do? Set up a machine that gives the cow control of its milking schedule. Oh yeah, of course, it runs on Linux. It identifies the cow, then finds the udders, milks the cow, cleans it's undercarriage, and lets it go."

  21. ISPs doing VoIP filtering? on eBay Wants Voice Phone Free In Five Years · · Score: 0

    I wonder how this business, and the rest of the VoIP business, will manage if/when the ISPs start filtering out and stopping or delaying the VoIP packets?

    There was an article in the latest IEEE Spectrum about it:
    The VoIP Backlash

    Doesn't look good, IMO.

  22. For our Arabic friends on Firefox-based Social Browser Flock Launches · · Score: 2, Funny

    ...led by Bart Decrem...

    That should be Badr Decrem.

  23. Re:DRM is Conspiracy on DVD Jon to work for Michael Robertson · · Score: 0

    I call several bullshits on your joke. Misspelling of their/there/they're is mainly, in my experience, a thing Americans do, and I'm pretty sure the largest Norwegian community outside of Norway is called "Minnesota".

  24. Re:Heisenkitty on Meet The Life Hackers · · Score: 0

    Well, if we extrapolate from the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, we can clearly see that though you know exactly what the joke should be, you can't simultaneously know which scientist the joke should be about.

  25. Explanation on Magnetic Field Thruster Developed · · Score: 1, Funny

    For those who find this explanation a bit difficult to read, I think a translation to Korean and back should make things clearer:

    In order for you to move it tries the fact that it gets the gun to except and this works to peel and as the basic idea the railgun, is two things which are not. In two those pieces two parallel seal and the system it leads the third, in vast quantity currently feeling. The 3rd stick experiences an enormous force. Inside this system, the vertical bar actual is the command gas.
