  1. Watch the most interesting bit ... on HBO's Hacking Democracy Available Online · · Score: 4, Informative

    If you don't have the time to watch the entire thing ... start watching at 1:05:15 until at least 1:16:00 ... which includes Diebold stating that the memory cards cannot be hacked without the system knowing, and then watching the process of the memory cards being hacked and altering the outcome of an election (and the system not registering the fraud). All it takes is to preset the cards with a number of negative votes for one candidate and the same number of positive votes for another candidate (thus not altering the total number of votes cast).

  2. Lemonparty on The Internet Not for Old People · · Score: -1, Troll

    The Internet is not for old people? Tell that to the Lemon Party gents.

  3. Re:Dark Matters on Dark Matter Exists · · Score: 1

    The. Fuck?

    This isn't an explanation for anything. It's babble talk.

  4. Re:I can see both sides of this on Some Bands Still Refuse Music Downloads · · Score: 1

    Pink Floyd The Wall. It should be viewed as nothing other than a complete album.

    But sure, concept albums are few and far between today in the industry.

  5. Re:Someone fill me in... on ISS Construction Resumes · · Score: 1

    Out-of-this-world Class.

  6. Re:Literally exploded? on House Passes Ban on Social Site Access · · Score: 1

    What's wrong with simply saying "figuratively exploded"?

  7. Re:Lawsuit on iRobot Scooba Exposed · · Score: 1, Funny

    Sarcasm is hard.

  8. Why no Uranus Probe? on Venus Probe Returns First Images · · Score: 1

    Bring on the humour NASA and ESA!

  9. TidyBowl on Blue Ring Around Uranus · · Score: 1

    Somebody got splashed with the TidyBowl.

  10. Re:There's someone in my head, but it's not me on Stealth Sharks to Patrol the High Seas · · Score: 1

    And in another 10 years they'll tell you that you can't travel abroad without one of those implants.

    Next thing you know the American Government will be telling their citizens that they can't vacation on Cuba! America is a free country, their citizens can vacation wherever they want ...

    What? They can't? Holy shit! So, they aren't free. Hmm. Then what have they been going off about these last umpteen years?

  11. How about an octopus attacking a 4 foot shark? on Giant Octopus Attacks Sub · · Score: 5, Interesting

    You can find the video at Google Video: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-700490962 2962894202&q=octopus+shark The octopus in that video is deomstrating the same instinct as the octopus that attacked the sub.

  12. Re:Exactly on Bill Gates Defends Google's Censorship In China · · Score: 1

    What about the shareholder who owns 51% of the shares? Is that how democracies work?

  13. Re:That's a pretty bold statement... on Dark Energy May Be Changing · · Score: 2, Interesting

    The science (and theories) don't necessarily change ... they evolve. Dark Matter and Dark Energy are "necessary" because there's not enough visible matter in the universe to account for the size and expansion of the universe.

  14. GP2X or GPX2? on GP2X Linux Handheld Makers Don't Understand GPL · · Score: 1

    What the hell is this thing called? Website uses GPX2.co.uk, but on the main website they call it the GP2X. Yet the branding on the unit itself says GPX2.

    Could someone make up their mind what to call this thing?

  15. Re:must be more zero tolerance on Felony For Refreshing a Web Page? · · Score: 1
  16. Re:must be more zero tolerance on Felony For Refreshing a Web Page? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Does this mean we're all going to be charged with a felony too?

  17. Re:But can it translate on Yahoo IM Translator · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Can it translate "your a looser!" If it doesn't recognize "looser" as "loser" then it won't be worth squat on any IM network.

  18. Re:This has nothing to do with genetic modificatio on GM Crops Create Herbicide-resistant "Superweed" · · Score: 1

    The true store of wealth is oil.

  19. Gmail a failed tech trend? on 10 Failed Technology Trends of 2005 · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Gmail a failed tech trend? What? As far as I can tell it's been wildly successful. Everyone I know who uses it, has been slowly moving all their email capabilities to it. For the past few months I've been forwarding all my email from all my various accounts to my Gmail account. I haven't opened Outlook Express in a couple months. Sure, it takes a little while to get used to Gmail, but I found that the more I used it, the more intuitive it was as an email service. The labeling is far better than the directory/folder paradigms from other email systems. I prefer it's filtering structure. The search functionality is the best I've come across (which you'd expect from Google). So, Gmail a failed tech trend? I think not. Hell, Gmail sort of launched the new AJAX (Asynchronous Javascript and XML) tech trend (or if you want to argue over the semantics of "launched", at least brought AJAX into the forefront of web development). Besides, how can any email service be considered a trend?

  20. Re:Ender's Game would be better as an anime flick on More Delays for Ender Movie · · Score: 1

    Mighty Ducks in Space.

  21. What standard is WB seeking? on More Delays for Ender Movie · · Score: 1

    Warner Bros. standard is that they want "Mighty Ducks" in space.

  22. Desert Golf or not? on To Flush Or Not To Flush · · Score: 2, Informative

    Visit Palm Springs or Las Vegas if you want to witness the ultimate in water waste. Hundreds of golf courses being watered daily in the hottest and driest climate in the United States. Perhaps just banning desert golf courses would solve a lot of the problems.

  23. Re:Links on Humanity Responsible For Current Climate Change · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Where do you get the right to decide what behavior is right and wrong and then affect change through lies? How could you become so arrogant? At least with regards the environment, the cause is for good. Your pal, George W. Bush, did the same thing, except he did it to wage war and fill the coffers of Halliburton.

  24. Re:I have an idea that actually works on Anti-Gravity Device Patented · · Score: 2, Funny

    This shit got modded as funny?!? That joke's so old, it's beyond stale. It's growing bloody mold off it.

  25. Big Deal on Anti-Gravity Device Patented · · Score: 1

    It might use anti-gravity, but with the flux modulation controller on board, it'll never go faster than 88 MPH.
