  1. At the press conference... on Can World's Largest Laser Zap Earth's Energy Woes? · · Score: 1

    Scientist: "So..."
    "we're going to start a nuclear reaction..."
    "on purpose..."
    "and it's going to be so powerful..."
    "that it's going to create a star."
    ...
    "Questions?..."
    Reporter: "um, don't stars supernova?"
    Scientist: "..."
    "So, if there's no more questions...HEY LOOK! THERE GOES TIGER WOODS!"

  2. Oprah Mini? on Opera Mini For iPhone Reviewed · · Score: 1

    There can never be an Oprah Mini. It's been proven that it just can't happen (not for more than a month or two anyway). End of story.

  3. He's no Tony Stark on Bill Gates May Build Small Nuclear Reactor · · Score: 1

    Eh, let me know when he can build one in miniature - IN A CAVE!

  4. Maintain a WHAT? on Skydiver To Break Sound Barrier During Free-Fall · · Score: 1

    " a key objective for Baumgartner will be to try to maintain a good attitude during the descent"

    At first glance, I thought I saw "maintain a good ALTITUDE". Jumping out of the balloon would all but dash any hope of that. That being said, I'd have to say that my attitude would be pretty piss poor as I froze my privates off while descending at super sonic speed.

  5. Re:Most of you don't know what you are talking abo on Trying To Bust JavaScript Out of the Browser · · Score: 1

    "You can't get emotional against a tool,..."

    Not so sure about that. I've known many a tool in my day and it is very difficult not get emotional if not down-right pissed.

  6. Re:Name? on Microsoft Aims To Close Performance Gap With Internet Explorer 9 · · Score: 1

    They were going to call it IE 2012, but then the whole Apocalypse thing... ya know?

  7. Re:Sub-Pixels on Microsoft Aims To Close Performance Gap With Internet Explorer 9 · · Score: 1

    Sounds like someone needs a hug.

  8. This is years behind... on First Black Hole For Light Created On Earth · · Score: 1

    ... the first Black Hole for emotions. I know. I dated her back in high school.

  9. So that explains why my house isn't worth shit. on Earth's Period of Habitability Is Nearly Over · · Score: 1

    Can't get much for a house in a solar system where the sun is about to go kaploowee!

  10. DOH! on Cats "Exploit" Humans By Purring · · Score: 1

    Purring! Of course! And all this time I thought my cat had wicked gas! Boy do I feel silly.

  11. Re:American Hypocrasy on Mass Arrests of Journalists Follow Iran Elections · · Score: 1

    ...says Anonymous Coward. How fitting.

  12. So Mr. Bradbury... on Ray Bradbury Loves Libraries, Hates the Internet · · Score: 1

    other than that, no strong feelings on the subject?

  13. Re:oh cool on Direct-To-Consumer Genetics Testing Makes a Splash In Boston · · Score: 1

    Well done.

  14. In other news... on One Fifth of World's Population Can't See Milky Way At Night · · Score: 1

    ... four fifths of the worlds population could honestly give a rat's ass that the other fifth can't see the Milky Way at night. And this just in: one fifth of the world's population now considering living on the moon to avoid real estate taxes and to get a better view of whatever is causing all the fuss in the night sky.

  15. Re:oh cool on Direct-To-Consumer Genetics Testing Makes a Splash In Boston · · Score: 1

    Or I could Bang it.

  16. Re:mo3 down on Turn Your iPhone Into a Web Server · · Score: 1

    What, no offer to make my package larger? Useless post.

  17. Re:I love how Firefox gets a pass on this.... on IE8 Released As Critical Update For XP · · Score: 1

    Oh, you must be one of the *angry* elves. Going from software distribution to torture is a bit of a leap, wouldn't you say?

  18. Re:FWIW on IE8 Released As Critical Update For XP · · Score: 1

    Wow. That's kind of an important little detail that everyone seems to have ignored/overlooked.

  19. Re:I love how Firefox gets a pass on this.... on IE8 Released As Critical Update For XP · · Score: 1

    Is it possible for misinformation to be anything *other* than not exactly true? Just curious.

  20. Pics on Scientists Discover Exoplanet Less Than Twice the Mass of Earth · · Score: 1

    or it didn't happen.

  21. Re:I would've worded the last sentence differently on Physicists Propose New Kind of Quantum Tunneling · · Score: 1

    Technically speaking, is it possible to know if something is *almost* universally true?

  22. Re:Am i doing it wrong? on Taming Conficker, the Easy Way · · Score: 1

    So how do you use a mouse with a Scottish accent? Curious minds are dying to know. Sounds kinky. Then again, if the mouse is of consenting age, it's all good fun I suppose.

  23. And no one will hear about it on Arctic Ice Extent Understated Because of "Sensor Drift" · · Score: 1

    And this will largely go unreported. I wish I was wrong, and I'll be the first to admit I was wrong (then again, who else would be first to admit that I was wrong?) if I see any mention of this error on Good Morning America or some news broadcast. Nope, there's no money in it. Heck, what would Al Gore do without his pet money-maker?

  24. Go Korean on Student Arrested For Classroom Texting · · Score: 1

    I think a public caning is in order.

  25. Top Gun Call Signs on Why Do We Name Servers the Way We Do? · · Score: 1

    Seems fitting as each day into work I feel I'm heading 'right into the danger zone'.
