  1. Re:Lolcat on Nuclear Scanning Catches a Radioactive Cat On I-5 · · Score: 5, Funny

    Schrödinger's cat is not amused—maybe.
    There, I fixed that for you.
  2. What? That's new how? on A New Tool From Google Worries Brand-Name Sites · · Score: 1

    Whilst I'm not attempting to RTFA and just going by the summary, it sounds like nothing more than what I've always been doing with "site:".

  3. Re:And? on UK Police Want DNA of 'Potential Offenders' · · Score: 5, Funny

    Until you realize your neighbor is psychopathic murderer, then you're in trouble.

  4. Prepare for the migration... on Wikileaks Airs Scientology Black Ops · · Score: 4, Funny

    ...as thousands of CoS members migrate to Sweden to physically destroy the server...

  5. Re:Mobil card ms are NUTS... on Ads With Your Name On Them · · Score: 1

    I guess your parents weren't thinking about information security back in 197*.

  6. Re:Go, open standards. on Free In-Class Resource For Science Teachers · · Score: 1

    Last time I checked, Microsoft opened up many of their Office formats to be implemented by third parties free of charge, including Word 97-2007. What's the issue?

  7. Why fear this? on Japan IDs All Its Citizens · · Score: 1

    Why fear a collected centralized source of information that gives general information about your person ran by the government (or some partially privatized-government combination) when, for the most part, the same information can be obtained by anyone with competence with a web browser and a few search engines? Welcome to the Information Age.

  8. Re:just like guns on House IP Leader Endorses P2P Blocking · · Score: 1

    Guns could also be used for recreation as in skeet shooting, trap shooting et cetera. They can also be used to obtain food. Just something I noticed...

  9. In other news... on Akamai Wins Lawsuit to Protect Obvious Patent · · Score: 1

    ...googling for Akamai generates a 403 and CAPTCHA to regain permissions.

  10. Re:The Y7.6B Problem ...? on Astronomers Say Dying Sun Will Engulf Earth · · Score: 3, Interesting

    7.6 billion years? If people are still H. sapiens then it'll probably be throwing out some theories too, since current theories posits we were only minor fauna running around in the footprints of dinosaurs merely 80 million years ago.

  11. Re:You cannot be serious on Japan Launches "Super-Speed" Internet Satellite · · Score: 3, Informative

    Too bad you're wrong, Mr. Troll: those phrases haven't been around for "cednturies [sic]." The phrase third world was coined by Alfred Sauvy in the 1950s. He also retroactively coined the words first world and second world to apply to already existent categorical differences between the Democratic West and the Communist East. I believe the phrase you confused with first world is the Old World. However, the Old World does not merely apply to the wealthy European nations, but all of Eurasia and Africa as well.

  12. Re:Nuclear bunkers obsolete on Are Wikileaks Servers In a Nuclear Bunker? · · Score: 1

    Tsar Bomba, Russia's 50 Megaton H bomb. For comparison purposes, the Tunguska Event explosion wasn't that high, as the highest estimates say about 30 tons, others (more believable) put it at about half that.

  13. Re:Maybe the best decision he made... maybe... on Did Amazon Induce Vista's Premature Birth? · · Score: 5, Funny

    you can fault people for making money.
    Yep, its called counterfeiting.
  14. Re:gateway crime misinformation on Leaked RIAA Training Video · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Interesting idea, but the way I see it, if they're going to argue that piracy is a gateway crime, how can they not argue that music makes people violent? I have to offset this with the fact that they are the RIAA, nevertheless, combining these two opinions seems roughly logically consistent to me.

  15. Re:We already have Photoshop! on Google Funds Work for Photoshop on Linux · · Score: 1

    You're comparing oranges and limes. They're both citrus fruits, but they're still not the same thing.

  16. Re:This is an advertised feature I believe on Comcast Cheating On Bandwidth Testing? · · Score: 1

    Hmm I've never noticed a speed change on my connection with Cox, and they advertise a similar "Power Boost." I just downloaded an 800MB file and got 6.94Mbps over 17 minutes.

  17. Re:In other words on Natural Selection Can Act on Human Culture · · Score: 1

    Ah yes, reminiscent of H.G.Wells' Morlocks.

  18. Re:Not just No on Is This the Future of News? · · Score: 1

    I use Notepad. If you hate Microsoft, I'm sure something like gedit would suffice. Hell, you could use vi or Emacs.

  19. Re:In other words on Natural Selection Can Act on Human Culture · · Score: 1

    Natural selection of metabolism rates. People with high metabolisms won't be as likely to get the diseases related to obesity and thus will live longer and theoretically have more children. That, my friend, is how we as a species adapt to the I/O energy changes. But of course, Skynet forbid we actually need fat after that evolutionary step, because that would probably doom our metabolically empowered overlords.

  20. Re:No life is truly wasted... on The Wasted Life of an Anteater Expert · · Score: 1

    Reaching anything above level 80 in Runescape would suffice as well.

  21. The sad thing? on Titan's Organics Surpass Oil Reserves on Earth · · Score: 1

    If this holds true after more analysis, I think that moon just became are next target. After all, all we really need to establish a real space age is an obvious market opportunity.

    This one, if capitalized on, would be one that could only lead to hurting the Earth.

    Going a little off-topic sci-fi here, I'd like to see if we could take the excess CO2 from Earth and put it on Mars to develop a thicker atmosphere.

  22. Re:Good article on A Peek Into Tomorrow's Linux · · Score: 1

    Exactly, Linux is pro-choice.

  23. Price quotes... on The $54 Million Laptop · · Score: 4, Funny

    That's one laptop, one pair of pants, or in RIAA-land, that's 36 CD, cheap half empty CDs at that.

  24. Delayed? on Spore Hands-On Preview · · Score: 1

    now in-famously delayed game
    Oh come on, it was just a blink of the eye on the Duke Nukem Forever delay-scale.
  25. Yep... on First Organic Molecules Found on Alien World · · Score: 1

    And the residents of HD 189733b found Earth not too long, and dismissed for containing life as it was far too cold.
