    Ixnay onay ethay enetusay!

  2. Righteous indignation fail. on Lenovo Tinkers With Larger Delete and Escape Keys · · Score: 1

    Needs more British slang. Bonus points if it includes slang common to both US and UK dialects. Double bonus points if it includes one or more "slip ups".

  3. Hey on Where Does a Geek Find a Social Life? · · Score: 1

    There's an app for that.

    that would probably negatively affect your happiness

    Wow. I negatively affect my happiness to keep food on the plate and a roof over my head EVERY DAMN DAY. Why the hell should intellectual property law be bent to support your hobby^H^H^H^H^H business plan and not mine?

  6. Re:That's Nothin' on Cancer Patient Held At Airport For Missing Fingerprints · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Nah. Got to be lasers. Preferably attached to the head of a freakin' shark.

  7. Re:Mostly just for cars on US To Require That New Cars Get 42 MPG By 2016 · · Score: 1

    Ironically, as a tall person myself, I find that SUVs tend to have LESS headroom/legroom than normal cars. Last time I looked at new cars (a couple years ago), I fit fine in the Honda Insight, VW Golf, and BMW Z3. I did not fit comfortably in the Ford Explorer, Jeep (Wrangler, I think, I forget which model), or the PT Cruiser.

    A large part of this is the design compromises inherent in most SUVs. Undercarriage required for 4wheel drive intruding into the passenger space (even on 2wheel equipped variants). Pointless ground clearance. Sure, the view ahead is nice, but I'd like a little more foot and head room too, please.

    It's not a bugnet, it's a featurenet!

    Batman Begins With XML? (Would make an awesome movie!).

    No. Just no.

  11. Re:technical possiblities on Google Mows With Goats · · Score: 1

    So, when they compared the goats to the mowers, was it RAIG against the machine?

  12. Re:Better for the environment, but on Natural Gas "Cleaning" Extracts Valuable Waste Carbon · · Score: 1

    I disagree. With this technology, you would be sequestering the carbon rather than recycling it. A net negative emission instead of a net (nearly) zero.

  13. Re:I get the feeling... on India Launches Its First All-Weather Spy Satellite · · Score: 1

    They have a vast supply of geothermal facilities. Obviously it is just a short step to weaponization. We must invade before we see a steam cloud over Washington.

  14. Re:Pakistan replies .... on India Launches Its First All-Weather Spy Satellite · · Score: 1

    It is just this sort of sloppy thinking that got us into Iraq.

    Insightful? Funny? This barely rises to the level of flamebait. I guess we really do need a (+1 Inciteful) moderation option.

  15. But can it measure the simutanious 4-day? on Work Progresses On 10,000 Year Clock · · Score: 1

    Like the time cube can?

  16. Re:I saw this. on Twitter Gets Slammed By the StalkDaily XSS Worm · · Score: 1
  17. Re:Anesthesiologist uses it IV on Beware the Perils of Caffeine Withdrawal · · Score: 1

    Lugging around an IV drip might make you look cool for about half a day, but really it is more trouble than it is worth.

  18. Re:we need an e-Serif on More IT Pros Could Turn To E-Crime In Poor Economy · · Score: 1

    I was going to make a joke like that, but decided it would be too kerny.

    Go Galt already, asshole. I'm tired of your incessant whining.

    Fuckit. Let's just invade. Finish the job Regan started back in the 80's.

  23. Re:My only problem with Dawkins is.. on Oklahoma, Vatican Take Opposite Tacks On Evolution · · Score: 1

    I don't have to be tolerant of the belief in Zeus. I can see flat out, it is bunk. There is no god Zeus, and no one will be offended.

    Except the Hellenic reconstructionists.

    NO ONE expects the hellenic reconstructionists! ... wait... err... I'm in the wrong skit, aren't I?
