  1. I have just one thing to say on FTC Warns Site Not To Sell Personal Data · · Score: 4, Funny

    I'll be buggered if I enter my personal details on a gay teens website!

  2. Re:I tend choose Skype side in this one on Fring Calls Skype 'Cowards'; Skype Responds · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Calling your the company whoms api's you have been using for years.....

    Don't you just love it when people try to sound educated by using "whom" but get it wrong! Nearly as good as when someone says "these seats are reserved for my wife and I".

  3. Re:Bargain? $200? on Nvidia's $200 GTX 460 Ups Bargain Performance · · Score: 1

    You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

    No it does. When you use this card you have to negotiate with it for it to decide what performance it will give, and what you will do for it in return.

  4. Re:oops on Windows XP SP2 Support Ends Tomorrow · · Score: 1

    For a moment, I thought it said "Windows XP ends tomorrow".

    Just wishful thinking.

  5. Its revenge! on UK Designer Grows Clothes From Bacteria · · Score: 4, Funny

    Revenge at last.... Bacteria have been living in us for millions of years.

  6. Re:Claimed On Paid Apps, Paid Content on The End of Free · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I think that's a safe assumption just based on how much income they usually have compared to people over 30.

    But they often have a larger Discretionary income.

  7. Re:First post on Claimed Proof That UNIX Code Was Copied Into Linux · · Score: 4, Insightful

    OK show me something that is not a header, non obvious, and not found in an open common variant such as BSD. post should be modded ignorant.

    *sips coffee*

    I hope that's Brazilian and not Java

  9. This is actually good on Microsoft Opens Source Code To KGB's Successor Agency · · Score: 3, Interesting

    It will keep them tied up for years trying to find exploitable holes, when the real spies will use something else

  10. Re:Doctor Invents 'Zero Gravity' Radiation Suit on Doctor Invents 'Zero Gravity' Radiation Suit · · Score: 1

    Doctor Invents 'Zero Gravity' Radiation Suit

    Hmmm... that's how all the super villains start. Next it will be "Hand over Fort Knox or I'll float New Jersey off into outer space".

    The zero gravity suit eliminates the weight and the exposed openings.

    So it won't be goatse man to the rescue then.

    Did it find any?

  13. Re:let creation of a new nigger begin on Chinese Company Seeks US Workers With 125 IQ · · Score: 2, Informative

    Maybe not so new, the old ones will still be in the same place.

  14. Re:World is changing on Chinese Company Seeks US Workers With 125 IQ · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I think a person with an IQ of 140 has pretty good human rights where ever he/she goes.

    Ever heard of the Khmer Rouge? A 140 IQ would be enough to have you shot.

  15. Re:escalators too on Should Cities Install Moving Sidewalks? · · Score: 1

    Easily rectified, as in the London Underground with a "stand to the right" rule.

  16. attempt at making an easy 'plug-and-play' PC on Activision Wants Consoles To Be Replaced By PCs · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Activision would 'very aggressively' support the likes of HP and Dell in any attempt at making an easy 'plug-and-play' PC that would hook up directly to the TV."

    So would I .... it would like a great MythTV box

  17. Re:age on George Lucas C&Ds 'Lightsaber Laser' · · Score: 1

    Surely those things are like 50 years old now. Feels like it. Don't tell me - the problem is that Lucas is still alive.

    They'll never be able to make hand held lasers. they've encased him in carbonite.

  18. This is an extrordinarily bad idea... on Student Wants Science To Name 'Hella' Big Number · · Score: 4, Funny

    The corresponding prefix for 10^-27 would logically be hello. Just imagine trying to take a lecture serously when the lecturer talks about "hello Henrys"

  19. Re:I think its a worrying trend on Avoiding GM Foods? Monsanto Says You're Overly Fussy · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Oh, the next step is mandatory vaccinations against all sorts of bullshit, like swineflu/birdflu. Oh, and Tamiflu is an anti-viral drug, not a vaccine just so you know. Be sure to tell them that when they strap you to a chair so they can ram it in you. Rumsfeld has major stakes in the flu business. That alone should make you realize what kind of powers we are dealing with.

    Patient: But doctor I don't tink this injection is really necessary!
    Doctor: Don't worry we have another injection that will cure you of that delusion.

  20. I think its a worrying trend on Avoiding GM Foods? Monsanto Says You're Overly Fussy · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I think its a worrying trend when a company attempts to have people who don't like their product as suffering from a psychiatric disorder. The corporate masters of Western society are using the same techniques as the Soviet Government. What's next, compulsory treatment of people who avoid certain foods? I know that all they probably have in mind mow is having their detractors classed as mentally unstable, but if that becomes generally accepted what will the next step be?

  21. Re:Hmm.... on Blizzard To Require Real First and Last Names For Official Forums · · Score: 1

    People who read your Facebook page are less likely to be mad than people who you gank and corpse-camp in Stranglethorn Vale.

    Poor innocent.... sometime soon he will have a rude awakening.

  22. Re:1934 on AU Band Men At Work Owes Royalties On 'Kookaburra' · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Someone made a point that I think made sense......if we're going to have copyright, we ought to not make it based on the life of the creator.....otherwise it will be motivation to kill artists. Make it 15 years from the time it was created or something.

    I know this is modded funny, but seriously say you are write a song that sounds like something else and the judge rules that you might have subconsciously copied it. You have a potential bill for millions that will go away if this artist dies....

  23. Re:Finally on New Material Can Store Vast Amounts of Energy · · Score: 2, Funny

    You only get to that pressure if you have a diamond anvil. If you want to store enough to power a car you will need one hell of an anvil.

    I can see a remake of "diamonds are forever" coming.

  24. the most condensed form of energy ... on New Material Can Store Vast Amounts of Energy · · Score: 1

    the most condensed form of energy storage outside of nuclear energy. And totally undetectable by radiation detectors, and presumably because this was achieved by a University research team well within the capabilities of a number of countries. Doesn't it make you feel safe to know that they published ful details in Nature.
