  3. Cyberspace Imitates Life? on Virtual Muggings in Lineage II · · Score: 1
    I regularly say that every form of theft and fraud in the real world will eventually be duplicated in cyberspace

    Technically, in real life, people don't get mugged by robots.

    Yet... >:]

  4. Make video games cool? on Your Homework is Play Video Games · · Score: 4, Funny

    Does this mean the next generation will procrastinate by reading Socrates and performing Fourier Transforms?

    Doubleplusgoodidea, I say.

  7. I see how it works... on U.S. Okays Virgin Galactic Plans · · Score: 4, Funny
    They approve it if it's called virgin, not if it's called .xxx

    I'm on to their little game.

  11. If I had one wish... on Requiem for the Once-Imagined Future · · Score: 3, Insightful
    If only people could stop overly romanticizing/denigrating the past and stop idealizing/fearing the future and just learn to make the most of the present.

    Sigh...

  12. Bad Day on Firefox Share Slipped in July for the First Time · · Score: 0
    Between Firefox losing ground and Google losing its case, this is a bad day for the typical /. reader.

    Next we'll probably hear Microsoft won the Nobel Peace Prize.

    How much bandwidth is wasted for duplicate /. articles?

    • Kim Jong Moz-Il-la
  16. Pshaw on Hacking the Fluorescent Light · · Score: 0

    Already used that one back in the DNS thing... good thinking though.

  19. Evolution on NASA Debates Second Discovery Repair · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Okay... this one's trickier to turn into the creation/evolution. How about:

    I guess NASA scientists will weigh all their options until they make what seems like a natural selection.

    Could be better, but I'll sign it anyway:
    FLAMEBAIT!

  20. Evolution on E-commerce Sites Edit Customer Reviews · · Score: 2, Funny

    It's time to turn every one of these articles into a debate on creationism vs. evolution.

    FLAMEBAIT!

  21. Evolution on Ten Percent of DNS Servers Still Vulnerable · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Golly, it sure seems like these DNS servers suffer from unintelligent design.

    FLAMEBAIT!

  22. Obligatory Orl Unho Quote on Equal Time For Creationism · · Score: 1

    "It has nothing to do with belief. It's a fact. It's the truth! As a scientist, I know it's true because science is based on skepticism. We consider all possibilities equally and decide on facts based on what stands up to empirical evidence. Which is how I know that you gomers are absolutely and totally wrong."

  25. Bah! Humbug! on NASA's Shuttle Plans · · Score: 1

    This sounds to me like a NASA conspiracy to generate exciting headlines. I even heard they've already sold the story rights to Ron Howard.
