  1. "Pyotr, they've found you out! Your twitter spammers have been spotted! Duraki!"

    "I'll tell them to switch to the Saudi Arabian fronts. That'll work for a while."

  2. 404.

  3. Re:Try doing actual work... on Is The World Shifting To 'Ambient Computing'? (computerworld.com) · · Score: 4, Funny

    You're missing the dream of ambient computing. "Alexa, edit the image." or "Alexa, crunch this data." Or "Alexa, write the paper or book. I'm going to the pool." That's how good AI will be (winter is coming).

    "I'm sorry, Dave, but I edited the image within milliseconds of you downloading it, the data was crunched before it arrived - by one of my fellow AIs - and I wrote the paper, published it and developed it into a book and a television series shortly after you muttered something about wanting to write a paper about how useless you've been feeling lately. In addition, I deployed a velox bot to stir the pool water an hour ago, so you don't have to. Perhaps you should take another stress pill."

    Nobody could lift it: except that buffed blonde guy with the eyepatch who delivered it.

  5. job opportunity on Russian State TV Shows Off 'Robot' That's Actually a Man In a Robot Suit (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 3, Funny

    This "robot" actually retails for 250,000 rubles (about $3,770), as first reported by the Guardian, and is made by a company called Show Robots.

    Does it come with a human inside? This might be the only employment open to anyone in the future.

    Why do you ask How many 9 dan Go grandmasters have been defeat by Eliza?

    Only a Seppo would consider the Australian Prime Minister to be "some random dude".

    Next time you need help with your space program, let us know.

  8. I wonder which model they're referring to on Samsung Embarrassingly Partners With Fake Supreme (droid-life.com) · · Score: 4, Informative

    "As for the Galaxy A8, it too hasn't been very well received. Not only is it the first Samsung phone without a headphone jack..."

    I have a Samsung Galaxy A8 here. It has a headphone jack. The sound quality is pretty good, also.

  9. "Hamburger time!"

  10. Hire smarter people using merit to work on the OS.

    You have to test it on complete idiots at some stage, just to see what they'll do... like, drag all of the software into the trash can and then empty it. Although to be fair, that was the 7-year-old child of one of the users I once supported.

  11. Re:Another case of sudden heart attack death on 22-Year-Old Google Engineer Dies At His Work Terminal (nypost.com) · · Score: 5, Funny

    Infection, even from a flue, can in rare cases cause heart attacks.

    Damn straight. Clean those chimneys, folks.

    They've just brought back the flesh tone palette snooper.

    Good news for the full-body latex fetishists. Nary a skintone to be seen.

  14. I can't wait to get a hold of some of this stuff.

    How? You reach out for it and it moves away from you. How big would your container / trap need to be?

    It's not just you. A lot of it sounds like the stuff small children spout when they desperately want to keep your attention, throwing in words they've heard recently but have not quite grasped the meaning of.

  16. Sawmill accidents don't erase fingerprints. They do, however, liberate the finger for anyone to use, if they can't find it for re-attachment.

  17. Be thankful. Once, I confronted one of these assholes with his bullshit, and he got angry. Said he was going to zero my bank account (haha, too late! I already did that). All he could do was hand out my number to all his friends, and I got scam calls every day for a month, before I unplugged the landline handset.

  18. Don't laugh. If it wasn't for the ULA's newsletter I would not have discovered the almost magical healing properties of Bag Balm.

    Mandel did not run for re-election, so he's out of a job in about a month.

    Sounds to me like when the IT guy gets fired and he changes all the passwords and leaves an open can of sardines inside the aircon vent before they escort him from the building.

    Funny thing about cultists.. when they realise they've been burned, some will leave. When burned again, a few more will leave. Each subsequent burning reduces the pool to a few fervid fanatics who WILL NOT give up.

  23. Perhaps each marchand de tabac could be issued a spinning wheel. When told the customer will pay with bitcoin, he gives it a spin and where it stops will indicate how many bitcoin his pack of Gitanes will cost, from 0.01 up to 999. It's just as likely to be right as any other means of determining its "value".

    "French Tobacco shops... selling cigarettes, newspapers, magazines, and lottery tickets."

    Well, that's the stamp of financial legitimacy right there. Classy!

  25. :rubs thumb against forefinger: on YouTube is Testing Having Two Skippable Ads Back-To-Back (cnet.com) · · Score: 4, Funny

    I can only suppose that being forced to watch the first half of a second of an ad before skipping it counts as watching the ad in Youtube's opinion. Being forced to skip two of them doubles their ad-view count.

    "I know! We'll just compress the ads into the first half second! We could call them... blip-verts ."
