  1. This reminds me of a movie... on Researchers Create Short-term Memories In Rat Brains · · Score: 5, Funny

    Total Ratcall was it?

  2. Re:Ends for Means on Lying Online No Longer a Crime In Rhode Island · · Score: 1

    I for one am always lying on the Internet!

  3. Hardly the most-anticipated 24 hours on World IPv6 Day: Most-watched Tech Event Since Y2K · · Score: 2

    This event had been very unpublicized for this to be the most-anticipated 24 hours in tech industry for the last 10 years.

  4. Didn't we see this article 5 days ago? on Fermi Lab May Have Discovered New Particle or Force · · Score: 1

    It also mentioned that discovery was made by a highschooler or something...

  5. Danger zone! on Duke Nukem Forever Gets Delayed - Again · · Score: 1

    I would consider moving away from wherever company that will be releasing/distributing DNF is located. Because we just know, that just when they are about to release it, a meteor or aliens or Godzilla will attack that area and destroy everything in vicinity, preventing it from being released.

  6. Re:DRM on Trumpet Winsock Creator Made Little Money · · Score: 1, Redundant

    Should have used old trusty RFC1149 Protocol

  7. Re:I'm confused. on Universe 250+ Times Bigger Than What Is Observable · · Score: 1

    We are not located at the center of the universe. Which means that if universe is expanding with at least speed of light, we would not be able to see at least the half of the universe that is expanding to the other side from the center. Now, how does it approach 250+ times bigger? More beer and some additional funding will surely find an answer.

  8. Re:I am glad I don't use twitter on Truthy Project Uncovers Political Astroturfing On Twitter · · Score: -1, Redundant

    What is this twitter thing people are talking about?

  9. Lights-off haste? on Power Failure Shuts Down 50 US Nuclear Missiles · · Score: 1

    So, when the lights came back up again, did they recount the warheads, to make sure that they are not missing one to Ocean's 11?

  10. Sad to see it go.... on Google To Shut Down 411 Service · · Score: 1

    This was a great tool for calling businesses while driving, Google would even text the matching result if I wanted a record on my phone. I think I would even be willing to pay a small monthly/per-use fee for this service, as long as it's under $2/call current AT&T directory assistance rip-off.

  11. Re:Alien signals from space on Fun To Be Had With a 10-Foot Satellite Dish? · · Score: 1

    mmm... LCD is very chewy in the morning!

  12. More sex! on Stats Show iPhone Owners Get More Sex · · Score: 1

    Did iPhone users include butt-raping by Steve Jobs in this statistics?

  13. Dead power supply on New Toshiba Drives Wipe Data When Turned Off · · Score: 1

    So, a dead power supply means that if I don't have a backup encryption key, I loose all my data? Thanks, but no thanks!

  14. Boring! on FCC Gives Thumbs-Up To First LTE Phone · · Score: 1

    Wake me up when they approve an FTL phone!

  15. Re:Who cares about the Iphone? on Jailbreaking iPhone Now Legal · · Score: 1

    This is a huge win for Google's Youtube, since it will allow all the recently-banned spoof videos back!

  16. Character in question on Open Sarcasm Fighting Copyrighted Punctuation · · Score: 1
  17. Trogdor ? on Open Sarcasm Fighting Copyrighted Punctuation · · Score: 3, Funny

    I thought this character is already reserved for Trogdor!!!

  18. Re:Haven't we learned anything from PS/2 connector on HDBaseT Supporters Hope To Kiss HDMI Goodbye · · Score: 1

    Well, if they are just expanding on existing Ethernet/PoE wiring standard and just using "leftover" twisted pairs for video/USB, etc..., it should work just fine if you plug in your regular LAN cable (with or without PoE) into the new HDBaseT port.

  19. Re:College Fund on "David After Dentist" Made $150k For Family · · Score: 2, Funny

    Yeah, free booze will be guaranteed to him at any party! I am concerned...

  20. Re:She looks like a spy. on Alleged Russian Spy Ring Exposed In US · · Score: 1

    So, her facebook page lists 100+ friends... how many of those will get a friendly visit from FBI? :)

  21. IE 6 is the issue on Time To Dump XP? · · Score: 1

    One of the most important issues that are stopping corporations from moving to Win7 is that a lot of business software is requiring IE 6 in order to function and does not work well in computability mode. So, until software "utilities" providers such as payroll, etc. companies make their software work well in IE8/Firefox/Chrome, adaption of Windows7 will be slipping. On the other hand, there are options, such as VMWare's ThinApps that would allow to still run IE6 on user desktops side-by-side with IE8.

  22. Re:Convenient on The Go-Anywhere Cyber Cafe In a Shipping Container · · Score: 1

    Houses!
    You missed houses!

  23. Cool! on A Playable PAC-MAN On Google Doodle · · Score: 1
    Say what you will about Google, but I appreciate a lot the fact that company manages to stay COOL while becoming so huge!

    Also, I wonder if by just going ahead and replacing functionality of the second biggest button on a screen Google accepts (or is going to find out as part of this experiment) that "I'm feeling lucky" button is completely useless?

  24. Re:Wrong team! on Obama Sends Nuclear Experts To Tackle BP Oil Spill · · Score: 1

    I think it will work... as long as Liv Tyler is there! She could be a publicity director, generating money for the clean-up efforts... or just let her stand there...

  25. How do you cool this thing? on AMD's Fusion CPU + GPU Will Ship This Year · · Score: 1

    With the bulk of processing power for both CPU and Graphics being concentrated in a single die, I can only imagine how hot it's going to get!
