  1. Re:Evacuate this universe! on LHC Shut Down Again — By Baguette-Dropping Bird · · Score: 1

    Fortunately, when we do capture them we'll only have to tar. The rest is taken care of.

  2. The format is all that matters on Google Takes On Amazon With Own E-Book Store · · Score: 5, Insightful

    As long as the books they sell are readable on any device they win in my book.

  3. Re:SHITCOCK! on Texas Teen Arrested Under New Online Harassment Law · · Score: 1

    but when it truly hurts someone it's time to stop.

    One of the difficulties with verbal abuse on the internet is the lack of feedback. Unless the victim posts some sort of response there is no way for the attacker to see how her words are impacting the victim. This is why we need to consider our words even more carefully on the internet or in email than in person. It's often difficult, if not impossible, to judge how our words are being interpreted on the other end the line and then even further how they are emotionally affecting the recipient.

  4. Approached from the wrong angle on Texas Teen Arrested Under New Online Harassment Law · · Score: 4, Insightful

    We should really look at the emotional/psychological reasons that these kids are attacking each other and come up with strategies for treating those issues rather than arresting children for mistakes they make online.

  5. Re:And Today is Reading Rainbow's Final Broadcast on We're In the Midst of a Literacy Revolution · · Score: 1

    But you don't have to take my word for it!

    "The show will cease airing on PBS on Friday, August 28, 2009 after 26 years on the air." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reading_Rainbow

    duh duh DUH!

    Unless of course you added that line to the wikipedia article. In which case you'd be sourcing yourself and we'd be taking your word for it twice.

  6. Re:Updated news report on FBI Investigating Mystery Laptops Sent To US Governors · · Score: 1

    This just in... It seems the governor's office was right to be wary. The FBI have confirmed that all the laptops are infected with Windows Vista Basic. Truly nasty.

    Hackers would like to steal your secret goverment dataz.
    [ Allow ] [ Deny ]

  7. I know why they need all that extra power... on Vatican To Build 100 Megawatt Solar Power Plant · · Score: 1

    The Pope has been reading Mary Shelley and has figured out a surefire way to bring Jesus back.

  8. Re:The ruling is a trip. on Referee Recommends Disbarment For Jack Thompson · · Score: 1

    Facial Hair = Wisdom
    QED

  9. The value of strong copyright? on New Copyright Alliance Formed In D.C. · · Score: 1

    On a similar note the AAWA (American Ass Watcher's Association) has just announced that they will be advancing educational programs 'that teach the value of not wearing pants.'

  10. Share a stage? on Gates and Jobs to Share A Stage · · Score: 1

    I hope the amount of stage you get isn't based on PC market share or Jobs might fall off. Probably into an ocean of iPod shaped pillows.

  11. Instead of a vest... on Polyethylene Bulletproof Vests Better Than Kevlar · · Score: 2, Funny

    Why don't they just make the bullets softer?

  12. Tupperware? on Polyethylene Bulletproof Vests Better Than Kevlar · · Score: 2, Funny

    It is a higher grade of the plastic found in Tupperware.
    The vest will also keep you fresh for weeks.
  13. Re:Taiwan is NOT "Thai" ! on Taiwanese Company to Mass Produce Rewritable HD Discs · · Score: 1

    Which country is more geographically ignorant? I'd say it's a thai.

  14. Re:sounds like on Student in Court Over Suspension For YouTube Video · · Score: 1

    In the bible 40 days just means a really long time. Maybe they're being allegorical.

  15. Re:40 days? on Student in Court Over Suspension For YouTube Video · · Score: 5, Funny
    In my day kids got one week suspensions for smoking pot and getting in to fights.

    But pot and fights never hurt anybody. He gave her bunny ears. There's no recovering from that kind of humiliation.

  16. Bowie is the Decider on Big Releases Heat Up High-Def Format War · · Score: 1

    I think we all know that the winner of this format war will be whoever releases Labryinth first. Dance, magic dance!

  17. Re:That is easy on Big Releases Heat Up High-Def Format War · · Score: 1

    I think the porn industry should invent their own format. Blow-ray? HD DVDA?
