    ...it's full of planets!

  2. Paperclip, tweezers, crowbar & a strong flashl on Stunts, Idiocy, and Hero Hacks · · Score: 2

    Trust me, they will come in handy in the lab at some point. Even for sudden headcrab infestations.

  3. LHC will run until 2012... on LHC Prepares Marathon Higgs Hunt · · Score: 0

    ...until 12-12-12 to be exact, and then the LHC will create a black hole in which we will disappear and end up halfway across the universe in an undisclosed location.

  4. I wanted Bing but I got Google on Google Seeking "Search Without Search" · · Score: 1

    They searched before I searched, and Google found the proper search engine to use which was Google.

  5. For further explanation of this concept on Operation Payback and Hactivism 101 · · Score: 4, Informative

    The DDOS Wikipedia Entry is much more informative than this article, I would suggest reading it instead.

  6. I know one thing... on Amazon Says Hardware, Not Hackers, Caused Outage · · Score: 4, Insightful

    ...you can't believe anything you read about outages any more.

  7. In my day we used 14.4kbps dial-up modems... on 68% of US Broadband Connections Aren't Broadband · · Score: 3, Funny

  8. Orbit? Check - Moon Mission? Mars? on SpaceX's Dragon Module Successfully Re-Enters · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Okay, we have proven we can orbit the Earth successfully for the past 37 years. NOW we have to move on to landing back on the Moon and Mars.

    Whatever happened to our pioneering spirit in space? Are we just going to build un-manned shuttles and satellites for the next 50 years?

    Our scientific missions seemed a lot more important and interesting on the moon with Apollo 17 in 1972.

  9. Angry Fans on Top Final Fantasy XIV Devs Replaced, PS3 Version Delayed · · Score: 1

    are always better than NO fans.

  10. DIY hacking tools on WikiLeaks Defenders Threaten Amazon · · Score: 5, Insightful

    really isn't 'hacking' - or is it?

    This news did nothing more than re-direct a lot of people to Amazon.com just to see if it was working. Then, they got distracted searching for something cool and subsequently made a few purchases.

  11. so the guy has infinite lives? on Man Sues Rockstar Saying GTA:SA Is Based On His Life · · Score: 1

    Or just never died?

  14. Re:Jobs, not Cash on Facebook's Zuckerberg To Give Away Half His Cash · · Score: 1

    donated to any foundation I meant to say

  15. Jobs, not Cash on Facebook's Zuckerberg To Give Away Half His Cash · · Score: 1, Insightful

    I am not for certain, but I am willing to bet that this 'cash' will be spent on things that will not immediately benefit poor people and the working class.
    People need jobs, not cash. No amount of cash donated to a is going to help in the short-term pull us out of the financial crisis we are in right NOW.
    If facebook, Microsoft or others were to provide more stable, good-paying jobs to people, that would be more beneficial in the short-term and the long run for our country.
    Although I commend the philanthropy, the reality is that people who are unemployed and underemployed couldn't care less about Mark Zuckerberg's philanthropic billions and the billions he has left over to live his extravagant lifestyle.

  16. Yeah, that's great but what do they DO? on General Motors' NASA Robot On Tour · · Score: 1

    It would have been nice if just ONCE in the article it stated just exactly what these 'robonauts' will be doing on the ISS.

    For all we know, the 'robonauts' will just stream music while playing an interactive game of Chess with the astronauts - not that there's anything wrong with that.

    Jesus mice, the mice with TWO fathers.

  18. The new 'IT' gift of 2010 on Erlang and OTP in Action · · Score: 2

    With this book, no one will EVER guess what you gave them, it is truly original.
    Pick up your copy today, makes a great stocking stuffer!

  20. It exists... on Dr. Who's Sonic Screwdriver Exists · · Score: 1

    ...but it could be created.

  21. New, original, and fun Science Fiction is needed on George Lucas to Resurrect Dead Movie Stars? · · Score: 1

    I just wish a studio, director, or someone had the guts and innovation to make a movie like "Star Wars" today.

    Why is everything in Hollywood gone retro/rerun/remake? It is a lifeless, un-original, and un-creative trend these days and it takes the place of fun, interesting, original and daring movie ideas.

    Why do we need to see a re-make of the 'Wizard of Oz?'

  22. High fees? ...Millions of dollars on MasterCard Hit By WikiLeaks Payback Attacks · · Score: 4, Funny

    Anon DDOS attack? ... Priceless
