  1. 2095 on Nadine the Robot Receptionist (qz.com) · · Score: 1

    She has an IQ of 1001, she has a jumpsuit on. She's also a telephone.

  2. ... And time is the strongest dimension on Why Is Gravity the Weakest Force? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    We are dragged along by four dimensions as they expand, but we can still move freely in the other three, but not time. Coincidence? Yeah, probably, but maybe not.

  3. It's clearly out of copyright on "Happy Birthday" Hits Sour Notes When It Comes To Song's Free Use · · Score: 2

    The melody is surely public domain based on Good Morning to All and putting new lyrics on it doesn't change that. That's why the rights reverted to the authors of Good Morning to All. You can't have it both ways. Haha, just kidding, a corporation wants it both ways, so the government will be happy to bend over for them. Still, if you want alternatives: http://mycloudplayers.com/?id=... http://users.aei.ca/robr/Birth... http://users.aei.ca/robr/Birth... http://users.aei.ca/robr/Happy...

  4. Force Touch ... on iPhone 6S New Feature: Force Touch · · Score: 2

    ... Is your app Jedi compatible?!?

  5. No, no, court, you have it backwards: on UK's Legalization of CD Ripping Is Unlawful, Court Rules · · Score: 1

    It is, in fact, the outlawing of personal copies that is illegal. Please adjust your ruling to reflect this fact.

  6. No, no court, you are confused on UK's Legalization of CD Ripping Is Unlawful, Court Rules · · Score: 1

    It is the outlawing of personal use copying which is clearly illegal.

  7. Pixel Colours - Light Blue&Gold on Is That Dress White and Gold Or Blue and Black? · · Score: 1

    I can only see it as it appears in the image: as the pixel colours. http://knowyourmeme.com/photos...

  8. It seems like a good idea ... on How Close Are We To Engineering the Climate? · · Score: 1

    ... Right up until someone invents fembots in an effort to steal the weather control devices.

  9. When JP Morgan leaks ... on JP Morgan Chase Breach Compromised Data of 76 Million Households · · Score: 1

    ... Everybody listens.

  10. Cecilia Gimenez on Original 11' Star Trek Enterprise Model Being Restored Again · · Score: 5, Funny

    She took a crack at restoring it, but it was deemed to be not entirely successful.

  11. Re:Mitochondrial DNA? on New DNA Analysis On Old Blood Pegs Aaron Kosminski As Jack the Ripper · · Score: 1

    Maybe, but he was under telepathic influence regardless. Red Jack Red Jack Red Jack

  12. Re:Characters are created to suffer on The Plight of Star Wars Droids · · Score: 2

    Yep -- Because there's nothing kids love more than movies about taxation. Lucas only selectively claims they are aimed at kids when he wants to rationalize how lousy they are.

  13. Design Flaw on The Plight of Star Wars Droids · · Score: 1

    The truly weird thing is making droids to be disposable and treating that way in society, but also instilling fear and a sense of suffering in them in the first place. When they were designing droids, who thought, "I know: Let's program them to scream in terror when they die!"? If you're designing something to be used with no more thought than an electric toothbrush, why make them think they are people?

  14. You have the right to remain silent ... on Supreme Court Decides Your Silence May Be Used Against You · · Score: 1

    ... But it may harm your defense if you do not mention, during questioning, something you later rely on in court.

  15. Of course it's public domain ... on Birthday Song's Copyright Leads To a Lawsuit For the Ages · · Score: 3, Insightful

    ... Which is why they're gonna rule in favour Warner, because screw the public. They aren't a corporation. What business do they have owning things that can be owned privately and exploited by individuals. Individuals meaning individual corporations: The real people.

  16. I want Georgia ... on Matt Smith Leaves "Doctor Who" · · Score: 2

    ... For the next Doctor: http://t.co/Yo42g5iaGb

  17. Uh ... on What Modern Militaries Can Learn From Battlestar Galactica · · Score: 1

    ... This is a show where they hooked two computers together WITH CABLES and the Cylons were instantly able to start hacking into it, because apparently that's how cables work. There's nothing to learn here.

  18. Guns don't kill people ... on CT State Senator Wants To Ban Kids From Using Arcade Guns · · Score: 3, Funny

    ... Gun shaped video game controllers kill people.

  19. It's a riddle on French Police Unsure Which Twin To Charge In Sexual Assaults · · Score: 1

    Just ask one of the twins, "Who would your brother say committed the crime?" ;)

  20. It's already been ruined ... on J.J. Abrams To Direct Star Wars VII · · Score: 1

    ... So JJ certainly can't make it much worse. Not to say I don't have faith in him. Star Wars may be at rock bottom, but if he puts his mind to it, JJ can always find a lower place.

  21. That's no moon ... on NASA Plans To "Lasso" Asteroid and Turn It Into Space Station · · Score: 1

    ... It's a space station.

  22. Is is possible for an entire generation of artists to sue for libel for being described as worse than a horrible, horrible movie?

  23. Disorderly Conduct ... on Mother Found Guilty After Protesting TSA Pat-down of Daughter · · Score: 1

    ... Or, you're guilty of whatever it was that you were doing that we now say, in retrospect, was a crime, even though it wasn't at the time when you did it.

  24. Mickey Mouse's dog ... on Where Were You When PLATO Was Born? · · Score: 1

    ... Is 50?!?

  25. Re:It's actually a pity ... on The Definitive Evisceration of The Phantom Menace *NSFW* · · Score: 1

    Yep. There are two. Star Wars and Empire Strikes Back. It ends in an odd place, but at least there's no dismal followups or, worse yet prequels, to ruin the story.
