    This is not good, not good at all...wait, what? Posting on Slashdot just lowered my rates by 15% or more?

    "We bought most of our satellites for three, five, or eight years, and we're keeping them on orbit for ten, twelve, and up to twenty years."

    Hmmm....I wonder what the human consequences of aging spy satellites providing erroneous information could be?

    And, does anyone know John Connor?

  12. IASPAR on Boy Finds £2.5M Gold Locket With Metal Detector · · Score: 3, Funny

    "James was so excited when he realised he had found real treasure. Dad was blown away."

    Right after that, James and his dad joined together in a happy little jig and sung "I've got a golden locket!" over and over and over...

  20. Stick Figures? on Making Airport Scanners Less Objectionable · · Score: 3, Informative

    First of all, the presentation of that article on WashingtonPost.com was 4 pages of absolute horror.

  21. What is Net Neutrality? on FCC Commissioner Blasts Verizon On Net Neutrality · · Score: 1

    Is it an internet with no price restrictions? Or no speed restrictions? Or both?

  22. Robo-Thelma&Louise on Autonomous Audi TT Conquers Pike's Peak · · Score: 5, Funny

    "It's an old racing adage that it's a lot easier to make a fast driver who crashes safe than to make a slow driver faster. The penalty for error on Pikes Peak is massive as the edge of the circuit is often a massive cliff.
    Audi is logically taking a cautious and considered approach because the negative publicity of a car plunging over a fatal drop would hinder the development.".

    Actually, the dash-cam video of the Autonomous Audi speeding off the road, going over a cliff and crashing in a fiery explosion would be pretty damn awesome.
