  1. It's pretty well known... on What Happens If You Get Sucked Out of a Plane? · · Score: 4, Funny

    ....you spend six confusing years on an island with a bunch of strangers and a polar bear.

    Hopefully you adapt quickly and learn to hate flashbacks and flashforwards.

  2. Re:Abandonment Term on Obama Administration Wants Your Old Email · · Score: 1

    Copyright your email. That will protect it for 70 or so years after you're dead.

  3. I'm willing.... on Sex After a Field Trip Yields Scientific Discovery · · Score: 4, Funny

    ...to act as a control if you want.

    I'll be in the booth with no disease and Christina Hendricks. For science of course.

  4. I make half the requirements.... on Software Firm Looking To Hire Naked Coders · · Score: 1

    Do I have to know coding?

  5. Re:Time to cut them off... on Google Loses Autocomplete Defamation Case · · Score: 1

    Makes me wonder if there's an judicial exchange program with Australia.

  6. On the plus side at least Gaddafi will have a job on Key Music Industry Lawyer Named EU Copyright Chief · · Score: 2, Funny

    ....when they start appointing new judges to the European Court of Human Rights.

    He's a 'former civil servant.....put in charge of dossiers' directly related to his former employer/dictatorship....

  7. Poor Yahoo! can't catch a break on Yahoo! Liable In Italy For Searchable Content · · Score: 1

    First it's a terrible search engine, then it's out of touch, now this.

    Though at least from it's name, it's upbeat.

  8. Re:And They'll fail on GameStop Buys Impulse From Stardock · · Score: 4, Informative

    People like steam because it's NOT gamestop. Steam evolved as a response to everything that was wrong with gamestop. Buying a new storefront isn't going to change the problems with gamestop, it's only going to ruin the storefront.

    GameStop doesn't have the same worldwide recognition as Steam either. Where I am, Steam is a positively recognised brand and GameStop is virtually unknown. Unless GameStop/Impulse are planning a massive marketing push, I don't see them as having the visibility of Steam internationally.

  9. Re:The next trend in air travel? on China Detects 10 Cases of Radiation Contamination, 2 In Hospital · · Score: 4, Funny

    How do you destroy radiation?

    Detention then disappearance?

    China already has processes to stop undesirable elements.

  10. Re:...liabilities on StunRay Incapacitates With a Flash of Light · · Score: 1

    ...and I'm sure the long term effects of overloading your sensitive, incredibly difficult and costly to regrow optic nerves to this degree are well known, and this represents no long term danger. right?

    I'd rather go blind the traditional way - standing too close to the TV and touching myself (apparently).

  11. Their motto is actually appropriate: on US Competitiveness Chief Immelt's GE Tax Bill: $0 · · Score: 2

    (Financial) Imagination at Work

  12. It's just viral marketing for a remake on Flying Robot Bird Unveiled · · Score: 2

    I'm surprised they let Uwe Boll rob Hitchcock's grave.

  13. Re:As if my insomnia wasn't bad enough already on Surveillance Robot That is Programmed To Hide · · Score: 3, Funny

    WALL-E was kinda cool, you know what's not cool? When he sneaks into your house in the middle of the night, neutralizes your dog and family members, then fulfill's your bittersweet fantasies of a robot style apocalypse!

    STALK-R?

  14. It's been done before on Surveillance Robot That is Programmed To Hide · · Score: 4, Funny

    I could prove it if I could just find the stupid thing...

  15. Making science engaging... on Ask Slashdot: Online Science For 8th Grade Students? · · Score: 1

    Just rename it 'Defence Against The Dark Arts'.

  16. Re:Why is this illegal? on IBM Charged With Bribing Korean, Chinese Officials · · Score: 5, Insightful

    What if we called it 'lobbying'?

  17. Re:Let me get this straight..... on Using Kinect With Your PS3 · · Score: 1

    An umbrella would have been cheaper

    I'd rather ruin a PS3.

  18. Let me get this straight..... on Using Kinect With Your PS3 · · Score: 5, Funny

    I was already crying when Heavy Rain forced me to purchase a Sony product. Now you want me to 'improve' it by sticking on Microsoft peripherals?

    I already have enough self-loathing, thank you very much.

  19. Pfft, that's nothing on NASA Satellite Snaps Rare Cloud-Free Ireland · · Score: 3, Funny

    Next up, let's see Beijing without smog.

  20. 'Ethical' is all about context. on Microsoft On List of Most Ethical Companies · · Score: 1

    For PETA it means 'hypocritical' or 'fashionable'.

  21. I'm fairly sure it's Gonzo on Cocaine Found At Kennedy Space Center · · Score: 1

    Maybe the Space Shuttle brought back a little bit of Hunter S. Thompson's remains - which are mainly cocaine.

  22. Re:Grammar and Yanks... on Australia Creates Cyberwarfare Unit · · Score: 1

    My grammar's fine and she don't need no hospital.

  23. Foreign powers aren't the problem on Australia Creates Cyberwarfare Unit · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Robert McClelland's problem isn't countering cyber-threats from other countries.

    His office has trouble understanding cyber-threats from other countries.

  24. Fine print. on How Big Data Justifies Mining Your Social Data · · Score: 4, Funny

    There's also a clause about 'organ harvesting' that I seem to have missed.

    Think about that next time you tweet about your kitty cat spilling milk on your keyboard.

  25. Who the hell would want.... on How Cyborg Tech Could Link the Minds of the World · · Score: 1

    ....my 3am Taco craving? Or the number of amusing insecurities that I harbour?

    Seriously, my idle thoughts are like a 16 year old girl's Twitter.
