  1. Re:When the regenerations are over on David Tennant Stands Down From "Doctor Who" · · Score: 1

    By this point, the Time Lords will have returned (through some highly confusing and mildly self-contradictory explanation of Time-Locks), and they'll grant the Doctor more regenerations.

  2. Re:Hugh Laurie on David Tennant Stands Down From "Doctor Who" · · Score: 1

    For those of you confused by the parent here, Laurie was born in Oxford, so he certainly has an appropriate accent. He's just quite good with an American accent for House, MD.

  3. Re:Parallax, touch screens, stupidity, and conspir on WV Voters Say Machines Are Switching Votes · · Score: 1

    How is response time/feedback not a UI issue?

    It's not an issue, it's a feature. That's why!

  4. Re:Slashdot Reference on XKCD Invited To New Yorker "Cartoon-Off" · · Score: 4, Informative

    It's not a Slashdot reference, it's a South Park reference.

  5. Re:How is it hard to prevent. on Mythic GM Talks Warhammer Launch, Banning Gold Sellers · · Score: 5, Funny

    The only true way to kill a parasite is to kill its host

    I truly hope you are not a doctor.

    I get it too. Confirmed hacking or he's getting something out of it.

  7. Re:Bit speculative on New Version of Gmail Being Tested · · Score: 5, Informative

    Actually, Google has some funky languages to choose from, including Pig Latin, Esperanto, and "bork bork bork" (swedish chef). They're on the preferences page, and I believe apply to all Google services

  8. Re:Bombula on Deathbed Confession Says Aliens Were at Roswell · · Score: 1

    Actually, it is quite random. It's basically random mutations that turned out to be more useful than what was previously there in the sense that it lets the possessor of the mutation breed more than those without. Yeah, it all boils down to who gets laid the most before dying.

  9. Re:Sure, the gird'll survive... on Attack-Proof Power Line to be Installed Under NY · · Score: 1, Funny

    For every Watt lost, 3 Watts are regrown by The Grid. Don't worry.

  10. Re:1000 years ago on Sunspots Reach 1000-Year Peak · · Score: 4, Funny

    But your favorite phrases would still be "I'm not dead yet!" and "I don't want to go on the cart!"

  11. Re:Really cheezy site on Google Website Optimizer · · Score: 1

    Well, many things the Googe releases are pet projects. This could be an early release, not fully checked for Google Compliance (tm).

  12. Re:shrubbery on An Easter (Egg) Holiday? · · Score: 1

    There's still a minor easter egg there. It now gives "Are You Suggesting that Coconuts Migrate" as a possible narrowing search.

  13. Re:Show me on HP Dishonors Warranty If You Load Linux · · Score: 1

    Step One: Unplug keyboard from PC Step Two: Press a key. Step Three: When it sticks, send in for replacement.

  14. Re:Illegal? on HP Dishonors Warranty If You Load Linux · · Score: 4, Funny

    Your "(yes, I know)" just ruined my chance at "whoosh" jokes following responses to this post.

  15. Re:Damnit... on Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty Fawn) Beta Released · · Score: 2

    But windows certainly isn't updated as often. Think of it more as XP original to SP2.

  16. Re:if i learned anything from starcraft... on Halliburton Moving HQ To Dubai · · Score: 1

    A starcraft analogy that works? Holy zergling rush, Batman!

  17. Re:XXX on Digital Big Bang — 161 Exabytes In 2006 · · Score: 4, Funny

    Way to clog the tubes up, guys. Seriously. :P

  18. Re:finally on Rockstar to Use NaturalMotion Technology in Upcoming Games · · Score: 2, Informative

    Slow-accelerating vehicles are a bad choice when running from the cops. I've been arrested many times in my tank this way. I avoid the military stuff, and a standard cop runs up and gets me right after I run over a few trucks.

  19. Re:Want to play it? on flOw Composer Austin Wintory Interviewed · · Score: 1

    It's available, but all it is is just the flash files packaged. You can edit levels this way, though. Makes for a challenge.

  20. Re:Uhh... what? on Restrictions On Social Sites Proposed In Georgia · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Abuse, rape, torture, molestation.

    They get headlines.

    They get politicians elected

    Thus, they get attention of politicians

  22. speaking of wiping data on Memories of a Media Card · · Score: 1

    What are the best methods for removing almost any record of data? Recently moving to ubuntu, I've found shred is rather exciting, but I still use many windows-only things. What would work best there?

    Wait, you know how to get laid? Why are you here?

  24. Re:removethis on Best Method For Foiling Email Harvesters? · · Score: 1

    Someone quickly copy-pasting it, especially someone of the non-geek type, might not notice. I've had people ask me if mailer-daemon was a virus, so they won't notice when it bounces back.

  25. Good on Oracle Plugs 122 Security Holes · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Odd to see almost all posts before mine are flamebait/troll. Anyway, congrats to Oracle for patching that stuff. You don't see bugfixes like that very often anymore.
