  1. Point it at Hubble on Vote On What the Very Large Telescope Observes · · Score: 5, Funny

    Part staring contest, part engineering contest.

  2. Get the cars working NOW on Could Flying Cars Actually Be On Their Way? · · Score: 1, Funny

    Then worry about safety features and regulation.

    Don't stifle creativity. It makes for fewer hilarious prototype videos on YouTube.

  3. Re:Oh great, now science is telling me... on Detecting Depression From How (Not What) You Browse · · Score: 3, Informative

    My mother, not yours.

  4. Oh great, now science is telling me... on Detecting Depression From How (Not What) You Browse · · Score: 2

    .....to email my mother more often?

  5. That's funny.... on US Is Finally Cleaning Up Agent Orange In Vietnam · · Score: 2

    The US barely helps allies it bombed.

    Unless Laos got a gift card I'm unaware of?

  6. A guide to appropriate use of armed force on Kim Dotcom Raid - What Really Happened · · Score: 1

    If it would look stupid as a 3D shooter, then you've probably used too much.

    Unless of course 'disarming unarmed citizens' and 'avoiding pregnant wife' suddenly became genre staples.

  7. Re:Sums up every bad 'social media expert' on Former Facebook Employee Questions the Social Media Life · · Score: 1

    Maybe you need to read the 'pretending to be a douchebag' bit again.

  8. Sums up every bad 'social media expert' on Former Facebook Employee Questions the Social Media Life · · Score: 4, Funny

    An underqualified English major pretending to be a douchebag.

  9. Re:Dear Proprietarians and Patent Trolls on Patent and Copyright Wars Gone Wild · · Score: 4, Insightful

    It's even easier to blame the knife and not the murderer.

  10. I'd love to see what the algorithm... on Inside Virttex, Ford's Driver Distraction Simulator · · Score: 1

    ....that simulates arseholes looks like.

  11. The end of the human race was heralded... on XRL Hexapod Robot Gets a Tail, Learns To Use It · · Score: 3, Funny

    ...by the words, 'That tail is so adorable!'

  12. All this means for police is that... on The Increasing Role of Predictive Analysis In Police Work · · Score: 1

    ...rather than the 48 hours to solve a crime (before the chief busts them down to traffic duty so fast their heads will spin), they have 48 minutes.

  13. Bears on Microsoft: Surface Tablet May Alienate OEM Partners · · Score: 4, Funny

    As first noted by the NYT, they shit in the woods.

  14. This is what sources are for... on Should Journalists Embrace Jargon? · · Score: 2

    If you don't have relevant qualifications, credit and refer to someone who does. Quote them explaining what the jargon means. It's the most honest way of saying 'I don't know what it means exactly, but I took the time to find someone who does'.

    It's not like we're filthy primitives who live in caves and don't know how to hyperlink.

  15. Re:Scam on Amazon Offers To Help Train Workers For Other Jobs · · Score: 2

    Amazon sells 'how to' books doesn't it?

    Education....solved.

  16. This just discourages hiring full-time workers on Amazon Offers To Help Train Workers For Other Jobs · · Score: 5, Funny

    I imagine we'll see more contract, part-time employees and a rash of mysterious sackable offences from employees at 2 years and 364 days.

  17. No one is immune... on Prime Ministerial Plagiarism Farce Continues In Romania · · Score: 1

    It's no more scandalous than say, Italy. Or Malaysia, where shouting 'YOU'RE GAY!' was used twice (successfully) as a political smear.

    And speaking of western corporations funding elections - it's worse than being hounded to show a birth certificate or being swiftboated out of an election.

  18. Cheaper solution available on It Costs $450 In Marketing To Make Someone Buy a $49 Nokia Lumia · · Score: 1

    It costs $449 in hired goons to make someone buy a $49 Nokia Lumia.

  19. Re:But... on Bloodsucking Parasite Named After Bob Marley · · Score: 2

    Parasites usually aren't usually bigger, better politically connected and more powerful than their hosts.

  20. What is this talk of 'case'? on Kim Dotcom Offers the DoJ a Deal · · Score: 2

    Once he's over there, they'll keep him.

  21. It will be a shame if our first contact... on Copyrights To Reach Deep Space · · Score: 5, Funny

    ... with aliens is a 30 second ad telling them 'Piracy is a crime'

  22. Maybe they can find solace in God... on Texas Scientists Regret Loss of Higgs Boson Quest · · Score: 0

    ...if we didn't just trap him/her in our magic SCIENCE LIGHTNING RING.

    I'm going to stop getting my science from Fox. Sorry.

  23. Re:Rome on Icelandic MP Claims US Vendetta Against WikiLeaks · · Score: 1

    Or we find out everyone in the US has been drinking lead-tainted water.

    And that's when the barbarians show up...

  24. Preposterous! on Icelandic MP Claims US Vendetta Against WikiLeaks · · Score: 3, Insightful

    There is no secret grand jury investigation! I dare you to find the documentation! Besides, there's no place on the Internet where anyone could publish such a damning LEAK! No news site, message board, not even any sort of WIKI.

  25. Big Media is treating it like a vending machine on SETI Running Out of Money · · Score: 1

    For some reason, the narrative that's been built around it is that if we put money into it, aliens fall out.

    On not seeing results RIGHT NOW, it loses funding.
