  1. Re:Numbers... on Fourth SpaceX Rocket Successfully Landed on A Drone Ship (theverge.com) · · Score: 2

    He's correcting the editor's comments. "Saturday's landing means Elon Musk's company has now recovered more than half the rockets they've launched."

  2. Re:You cant win... on The BBC Looks At Rollover Bugs, Past and Approaching · · Score: 1

    Sure you can. If you normally work for an hour a day, working an extra 6 minutes today means I gave 110%.

  3. Cyberpunk Novels on The Crossing - A New Way to FPS? · · Score: 1

    I have read a Russian cult novel a few years back, that at it's core, had a full virtual-reality game, and in the sequel, the game was upgraded to have humans playing the monsters as well, except they made the entire game team-based. The novels were written by Sergei Lukjanenko.

  4. Re:Justice Fails Again... on Man Gets 6 Years for Software Piracy · · Score: 1

    There was also a $500,000 fine paid to the government.

  5. Re:Dangerous Words on Google Warns Users About "Unsafe Sites" · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Google wouldn't profit by blocking 99% of the internet, including itself.

  6. Re:This just in. . . on Children Arrested, DNA Tested for Playing in a Tree? · · Score: 4, Funny
    And violin is a gateway crime. Best to stop that sort of thing early before it leads to . . .viola.

    Surely you mean, Graphical Violins leads to Explicit Sax?

  7. Re:Something wrong with $5.15 an hour? on Has Orwell's '1984' Come 22 Years Later? · · Score: 1

    Note to self: Use bigger sarcasm tags.

  8. Re:Some of this is true... on Has Orwell's '1984' Come 22 Years Later? · · Score: 1

    Or use someone else's cards. That always works.

  9. Re:Something wrong with $5.15 an hour? on Has Orwell's '1984' Come 22 Years Later? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Dammit, 1 AM my time is no time to be fighting the Communist Propaganda!

  10. Re:Magic = More eyecandy on Fantasy Trumps Sci-Fi For MMOs · · Score: 1

    As another one to add to the list already given, http://www.runescape.com/ is a browser-based MMO that doesn't have classes.

  11. Re:Actions Speak Louder Than Words... on Microsoft's 12-Step Program · · Score: 1
    ...need I say more? No, but you need to say it louder
    NEED I SAY MORE?
  12. Re:"Kinda" similar but not really.... on Card Locks Thwarted by Shopping Club Card · · Score: 1

    I used to work as a cashier, and those virtual coupons aren't regulated at all. You can always just say you forgot your card, and give them the code "1111111111" which will work just as well as any card you bring in. Or make up a phone number - they all work.

  13. Re:Memory usage charts wrong on Browser Comparison - Firefox 2 b1, IE7 b3, Opera 9 · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I would say they meant MB, as currently, with one tab, Firefox is at 36,000K

  14. Re:soon my children... on Software Turns Google into a Virus Scanner · · Score: 1
    bool roomClean()
    {
    /* This code copyright Google, and looking at this
    is a copyright violation. See you in court. */
    return false;
    }
  15. Re:That is sad on MySpace #1 US Destination Last Week · · Score: 1

    Mostly it's not the site, it's the users. All the stories you hear about blinking cyan font on a blue background? Users.

  16. Hmm. on A Day in the Life of a Spyware Company · · Score: 4, Funny

    So if you run their program and their competitor's program at the same time, they will kill each other off? Who needs virus scanners now?

  17. Re:It's tradition. on AOL To Be Free For Broadband Users? · · Score: 4, Funny

    I'm eagerly awaiting the point when their software passes 700MB, so they can start using 1GB usb keys.

  18. Re:Service is awesome on Boeing Connexion, No More Wi-Fi at 30,000 ft? · · Score: 1

    10k Meters over Soviet Russia, Points mod you!

  19. Portable? Really? on Blurring the Line Between Laptops and Desktops · · Score: 1

    My distinction between laptops and desktops is that one can be carried, and one cannot. My desktop cannot be carried. If you make a 20 pound computer with a handle, there is no way that's blurring the line - it's still in the desktop area firmly by my standards.

  20. Re:No Mountain Dew on Amazon to Launch Online Grocery Store · · Score: 1

    Nor any kind of soda, really. If they offered free delivery on 25 dollars or more, and offered 12-packs for around 3 dollars, I'd be wasting half of my paycheck there every month.

  21. Re:GTAIV?!? on GTAIV to use Engine from Table Tennis · · Score: 1

    Grand Theft Auto: Intravenously.

  22. Re:Bets? on WA Law Means Linking to Gambling Websites Illegal · · Score: 1

    No thanks, it's a sure thing.

  23. Re:Not the first on LiveCoda, Real-Time Coding Competition · · Score: 1

    This is the first with such a small span, and probably the first that will get geeks to enter a club.
    ACM, ACSL, and others are aplenty, but they all take hours to complete.

  24. Re:Check out the "Build 3D Models" Link! on Google Earth v4 Released - Linux Support at Last · · Score: 1

    Unfortunately, to do anything useful with it, you have to buy the 500 dollar version. Almost all exports, and all 3d exports are locked in the free version.

  25. Re:Fear them! on The Question of Robot Safety · · Score: 1

    Aw, come off it, it's just reversing the polarity!

    Yes, that's a Dr. Who reference.
