  1. Your FB friends will not know the difference on Can't Get a Real Girlfriend? Get a "Cloud" Girlfriend · · Score: 2

    "Your facebook friends will not know the difference". Right. So, this is for very stupid tech-savvy men.

  2. Uh, yeah on Facebook To Be 'Biggest Bank' By 2015 · · Score: 2

    "Also, I invented the question mark", Rutkowski added.

     

  3. No need to own. on The End of Content Ownership · · Score: 1

    There is no reason to own this kind of content. When access is ubiquitous, and cost is negligible, ownership becomes kind of redundant.

  4. Cluster-Fukushima on 7.4-Magnitude Earthquake Strikes Off Japan; Tsunami Alert Issued · · Score: 3, Funny

    Just trying to coin a new term.

  5. Re:Actually there were two 7.4 within a minute on 7.4-Magnitude Earthquake Strikes Off Japan; Tsunami Alert Issued · · Score: 0

    So, it's a 14.8 then.

  6. Not as robust as we think on Elderly Georgian Woman Cuts Armenian Internet · · Score: 1

    So much for "routing around the damage".

  7. Re:Glad Jamie Hyneman is doing someting useful on MythBuster Developing Light-Weight Vehicle Armor · · Score: 1

    I tried that but the producers rejected it because it only lasted seven minutes.

  8. Glad Jamie Hyneman is doing someting useful on MythBuster Developing Light-Weight Vehicle Armor · · Score: 0

    I know this show is popular with a lot of people, but for me Mythbusters is about the most boring show ever. In any given show, only about five minutes of it is interesting. The rest of it is irritatingly dull, bullshit speculation, or repeating what the viewer just saw right before the last commercial break. And every show, EVERY show has to involve blowing something up. It's nice to see Jamie Hyneman doing something useful for a change. However, I hope he gets to the point if/when he finally demonstrates his armor to the military brass. Otherwise they'll be nodding off, looking at their watches.

  9. Greens are wrong on 10,000 Shipping Containers Lost At Sea Each Year · · Score: 1

    See, the environmentalists are wrong. If 10,000 containers are good, then surely 100,000 containers would be better. Clearly we should be dumping our trash in the sea.

  10. How about competent Algebra teachers? on Requiring Algebra II In High School Gains Momentum · · Score: 1

    A think a more reliable predictor would be having a competent Algebra II teacher. If Algebra II had been required in my high school I would never have graduated. Neither would have a lot of other people. The Algebra I teacher was that bad. It wasn't until I got to college that I finally encountered someone who could teach me Algebra.

  11. And the coded message is... on FBI Wants You To Solve Encrypted Notes From Murder · · Score: 5, Funny

    DRINKYOUROVALTINE

  12. Sarcophagus time on Things Get Worse at Fukushima · · Score: 0

    ...a level so high that workers could only remain in the area for 15 minutes under current exposure guideline.

    Hmmm. Where have I heard that before? About 25 years ago, I think. Time to get the sand, boron, and concrete, and start building a sarcophagus.

  13. Popular Mechanics? on Fighting Fires With Beams of Electricity · · Score: 1

    This sounds like a Popular Mechanics article from the 1930's. "Fighting Fires With Beams Of Electricity -- From Zeppelins!"

  14. That's just great on Apple Removes Gay Cure App From App Store · · Score: 2

    Now what am I supposed to do if I suddenly wake up some morning and discover I'm gay?

  15. Re:Why do we need more efficiency on A Look At the World's Dwindling Food Supply · · Score: 1

    You cannot farm in an arid environment 5,000 feet above sea level.

  16. This is dumb. on System Measures Stress In Emergency Callers' Voice · · Score: 1

    One person is liable to be more stressed about their cat being stuck in a tree than another who is reporting an injury accident.

  17. I will miss you, T-Mobile girl on AT&T To Acquire T-Mobile From Deutsche Telekom · · Score: 1

    The worst thing about this: no more commercials with Carly Foulkes, the lovely T-Mobile spokesmodel.

  18. Slashdotted? on Further Updates On Post-Tsumami Japan · · Score: 1

    Oops. Maybe posting such an important link on /. wasn't a good idea.

  19. Like the name. on Drizzle Hits General Availability · · Score: 5, Funny

    I'm just glad they didn't give it some dumb, stilted name like "LibreSQL".

  20. It's true! on Large Hadron Collider is a Time Machine? · · Score: 1

    I can believe it. It certainly looks like Tom Weiler has traveled back in time, seeing that sweater tied around his neck.

  21. TSA excluded, of course on Obama Calls For New Privacy Bill of Rights · · Score: 1

    The new Privacy Bill of Rights will apply everywhere except at airports, and any other location deemed inconvenient.

  22. Unmanned? on Intelsat To Start Refueling Satellites In Orbit · · Score: 1

    Nothing I read specifically says this, but I'm assuming that the MDA SIS is an unmanned vehicle?

    If so, that's pretty interesting.

  23. DHS = PHB on DHS Chief Wants Better Algorithms For Analyzing Intelligence Data · · Score: 1

    Pointy Haired Bureau

  24. Similar to USArray for seismology on NASA Building Network of Smart Cameras Across US · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I had just been visiting the USArray site to watch the animations associated with the Japan Earthquake right before I read this article. It's a similar idea.

  25. Re:"How many bloody G's are there?" on How AT&T Totally Flubbed 4G · · Score: 1

    I will say this though, despite thinking that the whole "xG" thing is silly, after seeing the new T-Mobile spokesmodel, I'm tempted to buy whatever she is selling regardless of whatever number of "G's" it has stamped on it. :-)
