  1. Nice to know... on Google Plans To Destroy Unindexed Information · · Score: 1

    ...we don't have to wait for April 1st to get fake articles.

    It's not new for Nerds, it's /fark.

  2. Re:Entrapment on The Grinch Who Patented Christmas · · Score: 5, Funny

    ...and out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,
    I grabed my binoculars to see what's the matter.
    A bunch of gov agents, dressed in blue and in white,
    Wrangled that criminal and locked him up tight.
    "What's happinging to me, what wrong did I do?"
    In IP-law America, patents file you!

  3. Re: Ants in the Pants on Cloning In The Animal Kingdom · · Score: 5, Funny

    I find it interesting that they speak as though the male ants had an intelligence that decided to modify its genes as described. I tried changing my genes and it didn't help me run faster, jump higher, or gain the ability to remember where I put my keys. Usually, I don't find those bad boys until I change my jeans.

  4. Follow the money. on Kodak To Stop Making Black and White Paper · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Kodiak paper is best, but it's a bear to work with. The real question isn't so much digital replacing conventional, but one of profit and user effort. Sure, professional photography will always have some sort of want of traditional methods, but which is more appealing to the tyro...having to buy special paper and mess with chemcials and the extensive setup required to render good images in the old method, or to shoot a dozen shots, delete the ones that weren't quite right, edit it on the computer, and throw it out to dozens of friends via email, DArt, et cetera. The I-gotta-have-it-now generation much prefers to spend a large chunk now and have easy, even if printer-limited, quality and the flexability of electronic distribution than muck with the consumables required for classic photography. So, let's sell digicams in bulk and get their money now, rather than take the ever-dwindling profit trickle of classical photography product subscription.
