  1. Units? on More "Miles Per Acre" From Bioelectricity Than Ethanol · · Score: 5, Funny

    Miles per acre? What's that in rods per hogsheads?

  2. Re:Notification for everything on Interesting Uses For a USB LED Screen? · · Score: 2, Funny

    What does the second "T" stand for?

  3. Stop Traffic Jams on MS Clearflow To Help Drivers Avoid Traffic Jams · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I have a way to help stop traffic jams without fancy algorithms: stop tailgating the person in front of you. That way every time that person slows down slightly you don't have to slam on your brakes, thus requiring people behind you to slam on theirs causing a buildup of cars that aren't going anywhere even if traffic isn't that heavy.

  4. Re:Which 25 moves? on Rubik's Cube Proof Cut To 25 Moves · · Score: 1

    that is the REAL code you can cut it down a move.

    How do you think they brought it down from 26 to 25 moves?

  5. Well Duh on eBay to Drop Negative Feedback on Buyers · · Score: 1

    Was there any doubt in people's minds that eBay cares at all about the buyers? They aren't the consumers from eBay's eyes as they are not the ones that pay the fees, that's the sellers.

  6. Re:Solution: on MySpace Private Pictures Leak · · Score: 5, Funny

    So?

  7. So what was this gash caused by? on Scientists Examine Dinosaur Skin · · Score: 1

    I'm under the impression it was caused by a predator of some sort but I could use another confirmation just to be sure.

  8. Re:That's great on Notebook Makers Moving to 4 GB Memory As Standard · · Score: 2, Funny

    He did after it was him and two guys.

  9. Re:no sunspots huh? on "All Quiet Alert" Issued For the Sun · · Score: 1

    I agree with what you say. I suppose my joke towards the OP's joke was too subtle or something.

  10. Re:no sunspots huh? on "All Quiet Alert" Issued For the Sun · · Score: 1

    I'm pretty certain you're trying to make a joke here but actually a sunspot is a cooler spot on the sun then normal. Thus less cool spots could imply more energy coming from the sun giving the global warming crowd more fuel for their arguements. Coincidence? ;)

  11. Re:internet time on Motley Fool Says RIAA Hitting a Brick Wall · · Score: 2, Insightful

    If an AC can't do it then allow me. I'm revoking your geek card for failing to realize the futility of defending yourself on the internet.

  12. Re:Nanotubes? on New Carbon-based Paper Stronger Than Nanotubes · · Score: 4, Insightful

    While we're on the issue isn't regular paper carbon-based itself?

  13. Well Duh on FBI Data Mining For More Than Just Terrorists · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Computerworld reports that the FBI is using data mining programs to track more than just terrorists.

    Is this really a shock to anyone?

  14. Re:E3 Is Perfect Now on Questioning the New E3 · · Score: 2, Funny

    E3 is perfect now. I don't know of anyone who actually is involved with game development who doesn't love the new format.

    So in other words you don't know is actually involved with game development? ;)

  15. So... on Second Amendment Questioned · · Score: 1

    Anybody want to form a militia with me?

  16. Waiting on Intel Core 2 Extreme QX6700 Reviews · · Score: 1

    'many owners of this beast may be stuck waiting for new applications to arrive that use it to its fullest ability.'

    Am I the only one who sees nothing wrong with this? Of course there are few application that make full use of quad cores. Before now there weren't any widespread quad core systems so why would programmers design software around it?

    If chip makers waited for programers to write software and the programers waited for the chip makers there would be no innovation. Somebody has to make first move.

  17. Negroponte? on Classified Wiki For U.S. Intelligence Community · · Score: 1

    Sounds like someone Dave Chappelle made up for one of his skits.

  18. Re:Oh the silliness of consumer marketing. on High-Def Format Wars - Battle of the Freebies · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Simple reasoning would tell us that you're an idiot. Just because the technology is similiar does not mean the units should have the same price. Further more I do remember when DVD players were 500 dollars a pop. It was nearly ten years ago when the technology was new. It's only now that they're 25 dollars. I wouldn't be suprised if in 2015 we're buying HD or BluRay drives for $50.

  19. WoW on If Not America, Then Where? · · Score: 5, Funny

    Play WoW for ten years, and it's entirely likely at the end of it you'll be able to put it down at the end of it and never touch it again.

    You had me up until then.

  20. Re:This is great! on Trojan Installs Anti-Virus, Removes Other Malware · · Score: 5, Funny

    Hopefully we will see a new "virus" war, hasn't it been quite a while since the last one?

    There's a reason for all those extra cores in the upcoming processors. :)

  21. Re:Creative: prepare to pay the lawyers on New Copy Protection to Make Playing DVDs on a PC Difficult · · Score: 1

    According to section 6 of TIVO's TOS: If you are dissatisfied with any such changes to the TiVo service, you may immediately cancel your use of the TiVo service as provided in Section 14 ("Termination of Service")

    Did Creative offer the OP the opportunity to return his player if dissatisfied with the feature change?

  22. Yes on Do Big Screens Make Employees More Productive? · · Score: 1

    Maybe not workwise but you can bet they'll have amazingly productive WoW accounts.

  23. Re:No, we're running out!! on Comprehensive Projection of World Oil Exports · · Score: 3, Funny

    So how many houses do you think you could power if we put a wind turbine behind this guys head?

  24. Movie Quality on Virgin Galactic Unveils SpaceShipTwo · · Score: 1

    I really think they could have made that movie a bit better by throwing a few more lens flares in there.

  25. Re:Yes. on Counter-Strike Opens Weapons Market · · Score: 1

    Yes.
