  1. From a distance on Miscalculation Invalidates LHC Safety Assurances · · Score: 1

    If it swallows the earth, well, it will probably happen so fast it will make no difference to me anyway. But if it takes after nuclear bombs, well, let's just say I'm glad this thing is on the other side of the world from where I am.

  2. Re:Dude... like... what? on Marijuana Could Prevent Alzheimer's, New Study · · Score: 1

    That and non-stoners will not have orange juice shooting out of their nose when the home has a gutair player come in and he plays The Ding-a-Ling Song by Chuck Berry.

    Just because your wife isn't sleeping with you, doesn't mean she's not sleeping with, actually, you're probably right.

    if people don't want to be talked to, why bother badgering them?

    Because a large enough portion of those people will eventually buy something just so you'll leave them alone.
    They teach you that on your first day at any sales job.

  5. Re:Calm water on Boat Moves Without an Engine Or Sails · · Score: 1

    Everyone of those photos has something on still water just like it would be in a lab. As the part of my comment after the comma suggests, I want to know if it works where the water has a turbulent surface, like the surface of water in most places this would seem usefull, like shipping channels and whatnot.

  6. Calm water on Boat Moves Without an Engine Or Sails · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Can this really work outside of a lab, where the water surface isn't like glass ?

  7. Re:Oh the irony on Obese Woman Told To Get MRI At the Zoo · · Score: 1

    How would you feel if someone told you to go to the zoo for a procedure?

    Safe.
    This person is obviously smart enough to see my fat ass isn't going to fit and yet they have an alternative in mind instead of just letting my fat ass die.

  8. hide it on Bush's Electronic Archives Threaten To Swamp National Archives · · Score: 1

    If you can't delete the records, just hide multiple pieces in soo much garbage data that you would be dead and gone by the time anyone was able to put it all together.

  9. Re:It doesn't work like that. on Diskeeper Accused of Scientology Indoctrination · · Score: 1

    Wow, I'm actually surprised how narrow minded everyone seems to be about this.

  10. Re:It doesn't work like that. on Diskeeper Accused of Scientology Indoctrination · · Score: -1, Redundant

    Discrimination based upon religious preference is NOT a legal reason.

    Technically if anyone were to be guilty of discrimination it would be the released employees because they refused to study Scientology based on little to no experience with the religion itself.

    Forcing someone to actively practice a religion is probably illegal, but requiring someone to be knowledgeable in the religions practices even if it requires training, probably isn't anymore illegal than requiring someone to receive training about how to operate a piece of machinery.

    Power to the people, kill whitey.

  12. Re:Tough choice on Baby To Be Born Without the Gene For Breast Cancer · · Score: 1

    A fertilized egg is an actual chicken.

    Modern popular belief is that the egg came before the chicken, therefore how could an egg be something that didn't exist yet ?

  13. Re:Only Breast Cancer? on Baby To Be Born Without the Gene For Breast Cancer · · Score: 1

    It's tough to tell.

    Any side-effects could also be attributed to the curse put on this family by the voodoo priest 200 years ago that's been giving them the cancer in the first place.

  14. Not what they used to be on Nobel Jurors Facing Bribery Probe · · Score: 1

    With the advent of corporation, awards for achievement aren't nearly as useful as they used to be.

    We should do away with all awards and base everything on how much money corporations make, at least that way everyone's on the same page.

  15. Re:Roddenberry on Majel Roddenberry Dies At 76 · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Because none of us were bangin her and she wasn't any of our mother (with the exception of Insensitive Clod).

    We really didn't know her, just the character she played to entertain us, so realisticly, it would be rather inappropriate to react to this news without some form of entertainment value.

    Maybe it's just me.

  16. Re:Yes, but is it Linux? on Christmas Tree Made From 70 SCSI Hard Drives · · Score: 1

    Oh yeah ?

    Well with Windows you could have all of the LEDs glowing blue without any additional programming or anything.

    It works so good your fuel injection sprays it directly into your muffler, requiring no interference with the existing gasoline hybrid.

    Ah yes, the Quagmire approach.

    I don't even want to think about how much a gallon of Starbucks biodiesel would cost.

    I think it would be much more interesting to setup a program that generates a snowball effect that starts with a dollar in the first account and makes transfers slowly until it's spread through each account in the list, and seeing how far it would get before anyone noticed.

  24. Circle of Life on This Is the Way the World Ends · · Score: 2, Funny

    Paris Hilton decides she wants to take a vacation at the International Space Station, at which point nerds lose the will to live and there's nobody left to invent things that take peoples minds off of having sex which in turn causes our populations to spike followed by us consuming all of the earths vegetation and eventually turning to cannibalism and wiping ourselves out.

    Meanwhile the ISS loses power and Paris turns into a popcicle, which is discovered by an alien probe millions of years from now sent to seed a now Mars-like earth with vegetation so they can migrate from their dying planet to a new home and the aliens attempt to clone the Paris-cicle using pieces of their DNA ultimately starting the cycle all over again.

    After it all we never do find out how the earth ends, but at least we discover why Paris is so fucking weird.

  25. Re:Learn C and Python on What Programming Language For Linux Development? · · Score: 1

    I moved from Windows XP to Ubuntu Linux earlier this year and I wrote my first desktop application, a Linux color picker, for Gnome using C.

    Some of it was very frustrating, but fun for the most part once I got the hang of it and it works a lot better than what I could do with something like Adobe AIR.
