  1. Send in Austin Powers, he knows Trojans on UK Critical Structures Targeted by Trojan Attacks · · Score: 5, Funny

    The obvious solution to this problem is to recruit Austin Powers and have him go back in time to around 1995 to Microsoft Headquarters and take over their security services department. Then by sheer mojo, he will re-engineer the software to prevent these types of intrusions. Problem solved, the Queen is saved!

  2. Space issue on Nerds Make Better Lovers · · Score: 1

    She told you to move it so she can put in some junky Pier 1 crap she saw on Trading Spaces? LoL

  3. nerds have jobs on Nerds Make Better Lovers · · Score: 1

    usually, this is attractive

    Until something is blurted out like:

    "Hey, you want to see my Star Wars action figure collection? I even have the original Boba Fett with the missile-firing backpack!"

  4. What can Charlie Brown do for you? on 3.9 Million Citigroup Customers' Data Lost · · Score: 1

    Good grief! My data is lost...

  5. Aquaman is PISSED! on Breathe Under Water Without Oxygen Tanks · · Score: 1

    Aquaman, shocked by the news of the invention of an underwater breathing device, has filed a patent infringement lawsuit against the inventor, alleging that he violated (at least) one of his patents for underwater oxygen extraction.
    A wise-ass dolphin at the scene was quoted as saying Aquaman was already fabulously wealthy, and was 'just being shellfish.'

  6. batteries on fire on Apple Powerbook and iBook Battery Recall · · Score: 2, Funny

    "Apple has asked 128,000 notebook computer users to return their PowerBook or iBook batteries on the off-chance the components could overheat and catch figure."
    In a related note, the Register's reporting and editing have been outsourced to Bangalore.
    Paris Hilton had her ibook's battery explode on her lap, all that we could hear her say was... 'That's hot!'

  7. History of PDA, Chapter One on The History of PDAs in Words and Pictures · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    PDA goes all the way back to Adam & Eve. As the story goes...."That night, God took a rib from Adam's side and made a woman. When Adam awoke the following morning, he found a wife, Eve, lying asleep beside him. Adam was so happy. He took her hand and she woke up. She looked up at him and smiled."
    PDA is very old, indeed.

  8. Percolation search on Using Email Networks as P2P Spam Filters · · Score: 0

    Man, and I thought a Percolation Search was what I did last weekend in backwoods North Dakota when I couldn't find a local Starbucks.

  9. Er, Dude, yes they are! on The Feasibility of Star Wars Tech · · Score: 1

    I have the manual and you are WRONG!!!!!! Special Effect? What? are you living in the real world?

  10. Luke was a noob on The Feasibility of Star Wars Tech · · Score: 1

    Luke was a total noob and now he is a JEDI. This just proves that anyone can become a Jedi.

  11. Welcome the iPhod on Bill Gates: Cellphone will Beat iPod · · Score: 1

    The upcoming iPhod will kill Bill's MSCellphone. It is a 5 terrabyte iPod mashed with a game player cell phone. Sorry Bill, once again you are wrong. But nice try!

  12. Gluons are not what lightsabers are made of on The Feasibility of Star Wars Tech · · Score: 5, Funny

    Man, Forbes must be desperate for readers to jump on the Star Wars bandwagon now.
    Lightsabers are not lasers or simply light, they are directed concentrated energy fields that can cut better than a Ginsu knife.
    A better reason for saying lightsabers are not feasible is due to the problems encountered when accidentally firing up one. Many Jedi and Sith limbs have been lost due to carelessness and showing off. Lightsaber safety is a serious issue, and people should not dismiss their potential dangers!

  13. Appearances are deceiving on Cisco Confirms Arrest In Theft Of Its Code · · Score: 3, Funny

    "As a result of recent actions, the criminal activity appears to have stopped."

    Wow, that statement really made me feel better.

  14. Afterglow afterbirth on Black Hole Birth Detected this Morning · · Score: 1

    "A fraction of a second before contact, the lower mass neutron star is disrupted and forms a neutrino driven accretion disk around the higher mass neutron star," Sigurdsson told SPACE.com. "It implodes under the weight and forms a maximally spinning low-mass black hole."
    Man, this sounds like a big bang going on here.

  15. What does the Real ID mean? on Real ID: You Can Still Fight It · · Score: 1

    What does this mean for America? 1. Dead Cops. The Real ID Act requires that you give your permanent home address....
    Your driver's license does too, so what's the difference? 2. Stolen Identities.....
    Sorry, this is already underway. 3. Government Spying. ....
    The Patriot Act does this too. 4. Papers, Please. ....
    Your driver's license does the same thing, just doesn't have a chip in it (yet.) 5. Unsafe Roads. ....
    A few illegal immigrants aren't making the roads dangerous, it is the poor condition they are in with ever increasing traffic of SUVs that will crush most smaller cars.
    The National ID card will be forged and sold on the street very soon after it is introduced...don't think it will change much, unless everyone is totally honest and obeys all the laws.

  16. Boom situation is explosive on Mars Express' 2nd Boom Deployment Postponed · · Score: 5, Funny

    "Mission staff will now take the time necessary to investigate the boom situation. Foreseen outcomes include confirming that all segments of Boom 1 have been locked into place and determining how the deployment of Boom 1 may affect that of Boom 2."
    In related news, Mission staff is now taking the time necessary with things they do, as opposed to the 'hunches', 'guesses' and the 'divine insight from God' methods that were used before. With boom1 not acting properly, they have a couple other forseen outcomes: 1) confirming the boom 1 never locks into place and 2) how this has no effect on the deployment of boom 2.
    A new mission has been introduced to send another unmanned robot to massage segment 10 into place and then to quickly self-destruct in order not to interfere with the rest of the mission.
    P.S. Boom 3 cannot be played unless you have a high-end PC with a killer graphics card.

  17. Strategery! on Microsoft 'under attack' On All Fronts · · Score: 1

    "Bill Gates has a clear strategy. His company has very deep pockets."
    Buy them out or spend them into the ground? I think this strategy will only work when XP SP3 or Longhorn drops in price to $4.99 (to cover the manufacturing and shipping costs.) Maybe they will just start giving Windows away for free? I think this is their only option.

  18. That is coool....literally on How to Cool Your PC with Dry Ice · · Score: 1

    Good job Nikademus....if I had the time and money, I would try and do other such experiments. Now how do you get the fish smell out of the motherboard? :)

  19. Refrigerated PC Cases...the answer on How to Cool Your PC with Dry Ice · · Score: 2, Funny

    Why not just refrigerate the case instead? You can overclock your 3 ghz machine to 3.04 ghz and keep your brewskis cold at the same time!

  20. All your base are belong to us... on U.S. National Identity Cards All But Law · · Score: 1

  21. I'm not going to see it.... on Initial ROTS Reviews Hit the Internet · · Score: 2, Funny

    I am one of those cool people who say they won't see Ep 3 and then rip on it because I think it is childish and Lucas has failed with his 2 prior tries...I will argue with you about how you have b.o. and are wasting your money...then I will argue about how my friends will have it downloaded soon and how I won't even look at it then...then I will say that the reviews are all sucking up to Lucas and how terrible the ads are and all the merchandising is over the top....then, even though I have said and done al l this...I won't tell anyone but will go and see & thoroughly enjoy it.

  22. Vicious tongue lashings on Gates on Google · · Score: 1

    Gates may have given him a pass during that initial presentation, but Payne has been at the receiving end of plenty of vicious tongue-lashings since then, during his monthly meetings with Gates and in the weekly e-mails he receives from his boss.
    Ummm...can we possibly get an audio clip of one of these 'vicious tongue lashings'? I want to do a mashup complete with a Gates tirade.

  23. Wireless broadband gaming Tempe style on Tempe, AZ To Provide Wireless Broadband · · Score: 3, Funny

    Get everyone in Tempe AZ to get with it and get a massive online Sims game going. Everyone can live out a life and never leave the house.
    The benefits will be enormous. Traffic will be lighter and delivery & gaming support services will reap great rewards!

  24. the end of Jeff Gannon & Armstrong Williams? on Google to use TrustRank for News, Possibly More · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Let us all hope!
    Jeff Gannon, whose real name is James Guckert, resigned his job with the conservative Talon News after it was revealed he had used a pseudonym, had little journalism background, and had ties to male escort Web sites. ["http://www.mediainfo.com/eandp/news/article_disp lay.jsp?vnu_content_id=1000856306"]
    At the same time, I (Armstrong Williams) understand that I exercised bad judgment in running paid advertising for an issue that I frequently write about in my column. People need to know that my column is uncorrupted by any outside influences. I would like to take this opportunity to apologize for my bad judgment, and to better explain the circumstances.
