  1. Re:I am disappoint on Mysterious Sprite Photographed By ISS Astronaut · · Score: 1

    It is known.

  2. Niche Interpretation? on Xbox Live Enforcement — No Swastika Logo · · Score: 1

    Indeed, my twitter stream was filled with people stating that Xbox LIVE should equally ban the star of David, the Christian cross, and yes I am not kidding, the infinity symbol because under various niche interpretations of those symbols, they are as evil as the swastika symbol and I should apply ethical relativism to all symbols on Xbox LIVE to respect all viewpoints because of the United States First Amendment.

    Since when is the KKK's use of the Christian cross a "niche interpretation"?

  3. Re:Slashdotted on Earth Under Threat From Dark Comets · · Score: 3, Funny

    Such materials, especially in ultra-low gravity environments (so preventing the collapse of complicated micro-strucutres), are incredibly black, making the comet harder to see than a black cat in a coal cellar. At night with no torch.

    How much more black could they be?

    Only sometimes?

    The smartest money's on the Gohan processor; Cell killed Goku.

  8. Re:Swamped by GMail invites ? on Google Releases Gmail Notifier · · Score: 1

    Send them this way. I'm sure there's plenty of people here (including me!) who'd love to have one.

  9. Someone's gonna make a big pile of cash! on FCC Still Pushing for Number Portability on Nov. 24 · · Score: 1

    Guess who's in the telecom biz now? Yep, Verisign. Any carrier that can't get their own system up and running will be looking for someone to outsource it to, and Verisign will be right there to take their cash.

  10. Check the fine print on When Background Checks Go Wrong... · · Score: 1

    When I applied for a job at Sprint PCS their fine print made it clear (I asked to be sure.) that if the background check people f'ed up they were not responsible. So remember: ALWAYS READ THE FINE PRINT!
