  1. Australia is on its way to a conservative govt.... on Australia To Review Copyright Fair Use · · Score: 3, Informative

    ...one that's balking at climate change, grudgingly promising not stop the National Broadband Network roll out and is portraying gays and dark people asmythical job-stealing closet monsters. So while they're dragging us back to the dark ages, I can totally see them siding with a progressive view of 'fair use'.

    More than likely they'll be sticking anyone caught torrenting in the stocks while dirty faced children throw vegetables at them.

  2. After reading the header, anyone else thinking.... on Insects As Weapons · · Score: 3, Funny

    .....that someone had fashioned some sort of bee gun?

  3. Re:Low tech is better on Drug-Sniffing Drones Take Flight Over Bolivia · · Score: 2

    Well drugs are a renewable resource.

    Unlike Leary's humour which is finite now that Bill Hicks is dead....

  4. Too late on Two Space Missions Planned To Look For Killer Asteroids · · Score: 1

    Dinosaurs: "WTF mankind? Where were you during the cretaceous? FML."

  5. Low tech is better on Drug-Sniffing Drones Take Flight Over Bolivia · · Score: 5, Funny

    Keith Richards strapped to a glider.

    Done.

  6. I miss subliminal advertising on Targeted TV Ads: Silver Bullet Or Privacy Nightmare? · · Score: 2

    Of course, it never worked on me. Not even when I was buying a can of delicious Coke Zero, now in Vanilla and Cherry.

    Crap....

  7. In the words of Nick Fury on Majority of Americans Think Obama Is Better Suited To Handle an Alien Invasion · · Score: 1

    "You think you're the only politician in the world? Mr. Obama, you've become part of a bigger universe."

    I'd totally watch that movie/reality.

  8. Things that won't be said: on BT Starts Blocking the Pirate Bay · · Score: 5, Funny

    'Gosh, now that it's mildly inconvenient to download things for free, I'm going to have to go to HMV for all my media needs!'

    'If only there was another torrent site. But the internet couldn't possibly support TWO!'

    'Wow, with all this extra money coming in from ex-pirates, we should begin transferring these extra profits onto THE ARTISTS!'

  9. Another solution would be... on Testing for Many Designer Drugs At Once · · Score: 3, Funny

    ...to just get a sample of Keith Richard's blood and run a comparison. If he hasn't done it, you don't want it.

  10. Re:FAA+NASA+TSA on NASA and FAA Team To Streamline, Regulate Commercial Space Access · · Score: 2, Funny

    They'll be on it in seconds once they hear about the 'blackness of space'.

  11. Re:Tech vs Consumption on How Technology Promotes World Peace · · Score: 1

    True. But previously, we've had wars driven by competition to conveniently obtain resources, not having been forced by those finite resources reaching their limit.

  12. It might also be ego driven on Why Smart People Are Stupid · · Score: 1

    Tying your self worth to being smart might also mean you question potential mistakes less often.

    You're right and everyone else is wrong because a stupid person couldn't possibly have a better answer.

  13. Tech vs Consumption on How Technology Promotes World Peace · · Score: 1

    Seeing as a large number of recent wars are ostensibly to control resources (oil - sorry, 'freedom'), I'm wondering if tech will ever be able to mitigate this. With a number of environmental factors at play, tech has a soft deadline to fix things before we may be forced to fight over what's left.

  14. Re:Lowball estimate? on Carmageddon: Reincarnation Linux Version Confirmed · · Score: 1

    It's easy. $100,000,000 isn't going to some company like EA, settling deals after you fire the game's development team, lawyers, hookers, blow and investors.

  15. Re:They made a movie about this... on Sequencing the Unborn · · Score: 1

    'KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!'

    They're also a few steps away from this.

  16. From my cousin, who saw Phantom Menace first.... on Star Wars: 1313, a 'Darker, Grittier' Star Wars Game · · Score: 3, Funny

    'But.....it just won't be Star Wars without child-friendly racist analogues and Galactic Dance-offs'

    I've raised this young Padawan well.

  17. Re:Great! on Boeing Hydrogen Powered Drone First Flight · · Score: 2

    No, but the place they'll keep you when they catch you has no light and uses recycled water on it's boards.

  18. Re:So let me guess... on Aussie Government Brings Back Piracy Talks · · Score: 4, Funny

    They could also bring in the struggling artists, technicians and producers that piracy really hurts like James Cameron, Joel Silver and Joel Silver's coke dealer?

  19. Re:Water as a by-product on Boeing Hydrogen Powered Drone First Flight · · Score: 4, Funny

    If by 'watering' you mean 'bombing' and by 'crops' you mean 'insurgents' then officially 'no'.

  20. My mother knew the truth... on The Link Between Genius and Insanity · · Score: 2

    "He's not crazy, he's just....special."

    Take that, fourth grade teacher!

  21. Re:Apple and Microsoft are one of the worst compan on Worst Companies At Protecting User Privacy: Skype, Verizon, Yahoo · · Score: 4, Funny

    Micrapple.

  22. I think I need to lay off the Sci-Fi for a bit... on Virgin Galactic's Suborbital Spacecraft Gets FAA Blessing · · Score: 1

    At a glance, I saw 'bombing' after suborbital and a company called Virgin Galactic with a Chairman like Richard Branson sounds like it would have a 'Phase 2'.

  23. Re:Where do I sign up? on NASA, ASU Team Finds a New Test For Osteoporosis · · Score: 1

    Go to ASU. There's an incredibly short queue next to a sign that says 'Free bone loss! Ask us how!'

  24. There's a lesson here... on Twitter Bomb Joke Case Rolls Back Into UK Courts · · Score: 4, Funny

    Make all your threats on MySpace, kids. It's technically public.

  25. I was wondering... on Political Campaigns Mining Online Data To Target Voters · · Score: 2

    ...why when I looked up 'Kang and Kodos' I got political advertising from both.
