    And in ice-cream. Childrens' ice-cream!

  5. Re:The Anti-AOL on Google Data Liberation Group Seeks To Unlock Data · · Score: 1

    I called AOL's support, and after several rounds of phone-tree hell, got a tech who told me flat out "We don't do that. Good luck!"

    Those guys are AsshOLes.

  6. BORING. on Darwin's Voyage Done Over, Live · · Score: 5, Funny

    Let's see a live re-creation of RMS Titanic's maiden voyage. Now that would be good television.

    Something, d.o.o. economics... Voodoo economics.

  8. Of course it does... on IE8 Beats Other Browsers In Laptop Battery Life · · Score: 4, Funny

    Any application that you never run saves battery life.

  9. Re:Lack of focus on Intel Lynnfield CPU Bests Nehalem In Performance/Watt · · Score: 1

    You put yourself on several peoples' Freaks list. That's begging for stalker-mods.

  13. Re:You know why Amazon charges that much? on Build Your Own $2.8M Petabyte Disk Array For $117k · · Score: 1

    EMC, Amazon etc are a ripoff and I have no idea why there are so many apologists here.

    They're customers.

  14. Re:Resource Storage on Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch Worries Researchers · · Score: 1

    I believe parent meant that plastic will have been preserved and eventually become cost-effective to collect and recycle it. As petroleum becomes more scarce and expensive, so will plastics.

    We've got alternative fuels, but I don't see any alternative plastics.

  15. Re:"Competition"? We need a new word. on Microsoft Holding 'Screw Google' Meetings In DC · · Score: 1

    The word "bully" comes to mind, but I fear it is too simplistic and doesn't adequately describe the depth of planning and focus demonstrated.

    Strategic bullying?

  19. Tomato Garden? on China Jails Four For Microsoft XP Piracy · · Score: 2, Funny

    I suspect that China came down on these four not for distributing their counterfeit "Tomato Garden" version per se, but for their failure to supply the proper MSDN VLK "Corporate" Professional edition.

  20. Re:Traveling Wave Tube Amplifier? on NASA Probe Blasts 461 Gigabytes of Moon Data Daily · · Score: 1

    This should have been modded informative, not off-topic or funny; it is correct.

    "If you broke a window (pun intended), entered the house, saw safe on the floor, turned the handle and it was unlocked, would you be breaking and entering?"

  23. Old News on Nicotine Improves Brain Function In Schizophrenics · · Score: 5, Informative

    Smoking Away Schizophrenia? Scientific American Mind, 2007-11-27.

    Scientific American also published an article in 2003 suggesting that a by-product of nicotine can slow the onset of Alzheimer's disease. It does not take a nicotine-addict to see that CNS stimulants can have beneficial effects on brain function.

  24. Re:Not getting revenue anyways. on Will Mainstream Media Embrace Adblockers? · · Score: 1

    AdBlock Plus can use block-lists that are optimized to meet a variety of goals. For example, tracking/privacy, ads/content from specific nations, objects from malicious hosts and even Rick-rolls.

  25. Re:No problem. So what's the alternative? on Will Mainstream Media Embrace Adblockers? · · Score: 1

    What I want to know is: who is whipping out their credit card numbers at the pay porn sites? Because I know somebody is doing that, despite the ubiquity of free porn.

    Fetishists/paraphiliacs are unlikely to be interested in anything the general public would consider "porn." I would imagine sites that aggregate the content they seek are able to carve a niche with a loyal, repeat user-base.
