  1. My experience on What Vista Is Really Like · · Score: 5, Funny
    I wake up early, on an angle, tucked into a large mass of flesh occupying the majority of my small bachelor apartment. As I look over at the walls, I see they are made of glass, and as I struggle to extricate myself from the monolith of apparent woman, so as to see the whole better, I hear a rumbling voice from within,

    "DISPLAY PROPERTIES NEEDS YOUR PER-PER-PER-"

    The whole building collapses.

  2. In precis on DRM Causes Piracy · · Score: 1

    An excellent examination of the conditions leading to that phenomenon in modern electronic commerce, known colloquially as "fuck that."

  3. Oh Christ no no NO! on New Technology Could Lead To 3D Printers · · Score: 4, Funny
    "the technique could be used to create ... a printer that prints 3D objects."

    3D object printed becomes 3D printer for infinite recursiveness! If these printers came with automatic paper feed, then the world will be finished in weeks, hundreds of self replicating 3D printers converting the Earth into an infinite series of... 3D printers!

    It's like Skynet and grey goo all rolled into one

  4. More importantly... on Netscape 9 to Undo Netscape 8 Mistakes? · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Will Nortel 2006 undo Nortel 2000 mistakes?

  5. Good for snoopery... on Mass Storage For Phones · · Score: 1
    With many phones offering call recording, this could be a comfortable option for one to record any and all conversations and store them, sans frequent laptop shuffle.

    I mean, if you need to.

  6. Oh great on Canadian Phone Company Selling Porn · · Score: 5, Funny

    As if driving and talking on the phone wasn't dangerous enough. How will I hold the steering wheel?

  7. Re:Organised crime on 3D Printers To Build Houses · · Score: 1

    Makes for a nice wallpiece, though - don't you think?

  8. Crucially... on Building Chips Like LEGO · · Score: 1
    "... this technique can make use of existing machinery."

    Oh, you mean like a modified version of this?

  9. Re:Popular Mechanics? on North Korea's Secret Biochemical Arsenal · · Score: 1

    This is pretty late, but Defensetech is pretty sweet too.

  10. Vacation on Titan on Pictures of Titan's Lakes · · Score: 5, Funny

    Swimming in liquid farts

  11. Re:I don't even bother to erase mine. on Memories of a Media Card · · Score: 3, Funny
    Even better is, tucked in with dull vacation and random photos, a blurry close up of your balls, which invariably requires closer scrutiny, a "What's that?" from the viewer, and, finally - Huzzah! - rapid recoil and disgust!

  12. Picture in article on Study Says 2 In 5 Bosses Lie · · Score: 2, Funny

    Did anyone look at the picture of Prof.Wayne Hochwarter, and assume this was an actor posing to look like a jerk boss for the article?

  13. What a sham! on What to Watch for in 2007 · · Score: 1
    Boo! Hiss! These technologies are not nearly disruptive enough!

    How about an actual, working neural disruptor? Or an off the shelf EMP generator? Where are my touchless tasers? What about a new growler, with digital cycling of frequencies for maximum, ear-bleeding auditory annoyance?

    I would settle for a better stinkbomb - more farty, if you please.

    I'm just saying, if we're talking disruptive, let's be disruptive. I read the article looking for real goodies and ended up suffering fatigue and dismay.

  14. "Hidden features" on Macworld Rumor Round-Up · · Score: 3, Funny
    I've cracked the Macworld secret - selective, vowel exclusive acronyms!

    Digital Lifestyle Device = DiLDo

  15. Re:er on The World's Most Powerful Diesel Engine · · Score: 1
    I think that the idea of floating breeder reactors or a floating three mile island will hamper that switch.

    Well, the Russians, Japanese, Germans, and Americans might have something to say about that valid concern! In other news, does the picture of those guys hopping around the giant crankshaft make you want to rip apart your car engine, looking for gnomes?

  16. Re:Gotta mention the obligatory Steve Jobs story h on Why Do Computers Take So Long to Boot Up? · · Score: 1

    I'm busy unzipping my pants.

  17. You know what's next on Robot Identifies Human Flesh As Bacon · · Score: 1

    SAUSAGE

  18. Re:Invention of Beer lead to this? on Did Humans Get Their Big Brains From Neanderthals? · · Score: 1

    And it was invented by the neantherthals.

  19. Strictly speaking... on Computer Date Glitch May Limit Next Shuttle Launch · · Score: 1

    it is. In fact, telltale sideburns show that some shuttles are still in the seventies...

  20. Open source your SSN... on OpenSourcing Yourself, Are You Ready? · · Score: 1

    and your DoB, address, etc, and I'll make sure to keep your name on any derivative credit card or loan, preserving the spirit of the GPL.

  21. Oh Great on A Sunshade In Space To Combat Global Warming · · Score: 1
    First, artificial heating causing unusual results, then this and, well, you know what's going to happen: Snowball Freakin Earth.

    How are you going to solve that one now, science!? Make the Earth warmer!? The shades are in space - fucking space!

    Aaaaaaargh! (Flies out the window)

  22. Pretty spooky, but on UK Has Become a "Surveillance Society" · · Score: 1

    at the same time, the perfect place to go if you needed an alibi.

  23. They'll be so happy... on Giving the Gift of Ubuntu Linux for Christmas? · · Score: 1

    "Thanks for the free CD you cheap bastard."

  24. Re:wait, what? on US Citizens To Require ''Clearance'' To Leave? · · Score: 1

    That's a bold comment.

  25. Beware! on Cyber Bullying Destroys Anonymity · · Score: 1

    What with this, and the terror of fan death, South Korea is a dangerous place indeed...
