  1. Hero on Disgruntled Engineer Hijacks San Francisco's Computer System · · Score: 1

    This guy is my new hero for the year, sorry Mr. Riser !

  2. Re:Me too... on Makemake Becomes the Newest Dwarf Planet · · Score: 5, Funny

    As long as it's not jarjar I don't care.

  3. Save for later on Miniaturized DNA Sewing Machines · · Score: 1

    I'm soo bookmarking this thread for the day they say they have DNA evidence against me.

  4. Re:Just Deserts on Nielsen Collects FL Tax Breaks, Then Outsources Jobs · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The market will fix itself.

    Everyone in America will eventually be too poor to buy anything, forcing these corporations to target the countries they outsourced to, chasing the money. This will make room for new pioneers in American business & the cycle will start all over again.

    I hope I live to see when this situation repeats itself driving corporations to the moon.

  5. Joke on Should the Linux Desktop Be "Pure?" · · Score: 1

    What's the difference between a Linux purist and a Microsoft employee ?

    One of them gets paid for their opinion.

  6. Re:References on How To Show Code Samples? · · Score: 1

    You can get a good look at a T-Bone by sticking your head up a bulls ass, but wouldn't you rather take the butchers word for it ?

  7. Re:References on How To Show Code Samples? · · Score: 1

    What about the "Would you work with this person again ?" question ?

  8. References on How To Show Code Samples? · · Score: 1

    I would think that a prospective employer would rather speak with your previous employer than look at your work.

  9. Re:Breaking news! on Spammers Announce World War III · · Score: 1

    Because sometimes pennystocks pay off legitimately.

    Take for instance CCUR aka Concurrent Computer, http://www.ccur.com/ (now CCURD)
    For quite awhile they've been trading at $1 per share, most recently even down to the $0.60 a share range. Before all of this happened they'd announced some nice contracts, including millitary contracts.
    Apparently they made some money on those contracts because the company announced a sizable buyback & the approval of a reverse split, today CCURD is priced at roughly $6.50 a share.

    Anyone who bought it at the $0.60 a share range is looking at a roughly 400% return after the reverse split/etc. All based on the company, not the media.

  10. Re:no way on Workplace BlackBerry Use May Spur Lawsuits · · Score: 3, Funny
    I agree with the me time, but

    If they fire me I will tell the boss, "I was looking for a job when I found this one".

    That's kinda like telling someone you know Martial Arts after they've just broken your nose.

  11. Re:new sport.. on Meet the New Chess Boxing Champion of the World · · Score: 1

    Again I ask, what's new ?

  12. Re:Is it wrong... on "New" Words From the Geek Culture · · Score: 4, Funny

    I don't care who you are, that's fox worthy right there.

  13. Valid Joke on "New" Words From the Geek Culture · · Score: 5, Funny

    I can finally tell someone their picture should be in the dictionary under fanboy.

  14. Idea on Cable-Laying Boom Will Boost Internet Capacity · · Score: 1

    More cables going into oceans could be a great thing for an idea I have on oceanic internet cables.

  15. Re:Okay there you go on Hans Reiser Leads Police To Nina's Body · · Score: 4, Funny

    At least until the body is positively identified (perhaps by DNA testing) to be that of Nina Reiser's, for all I know this is some ploy/maneuvering by the defense attorney (who had more than ample time to tell Reiser what he was planning) in order to reduce Reiser's sentence.

    The only way I can see that having a chance in hell is if the instructions to find the body looked like this

    Head about 20 miles down road A untill you come across a really large oak tree, you'll know it's the right tree because underneath it there will be a large piece of granite with the word "Cementery" chisled into the face of it. I think it's an old cement factory that went out of business because there's tons of cement and granite blocks with names chisled into them.
    Anyways, go back 23 stones then turn left and go over another 47 stones & that's where you'll find a body.

  16. Re:Why is this not on TV? on Meet the New Chess Boxing Champion of the World · · Score: 4, Funny

    well not sacrifice intentionally, I could have sworn I still had two bishops left. Apparently that uppercut in the 3rd was harder than I thought.

  17. Joke on Giant Snake-Shaped Generators Could Capture Wave Power · · Score: 1

    I'd love to work around one of these things.

    Sending the new guy out to find snake oil might be as fun as sending him to other resturaunts to borrow some ice mix when I worked fast food.

  18. Re:new sport.. on Meet the New Chess Boxing Champion of the World · · Score: 5, Funny

    Where's the new part ?

    I've been getting fucked on my taxes for years.

  19. Contest on eBay'er Arrested For Attempting To Sell His Vote · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I'm holding a contest to decide which candidate I want to vote for. I'm broke, so the economy is important to me. Whoever is able to raise the most money to give to me will obviously be the one best suited to make the economy work in my favor & I will naturally want to vote for them.


    I can't help but wonder what anyone could say if it was worded like that, lobbyists seem to be getting away with officials putting it like that.

  20. Prior art on UK Approves Human-Pig Embryo Stem-Cell Harvest · · Score: 1

    I can foresee some problems with patents and prior art with this, rednecks have been creating hybrid embryos for decades.

  21. Re:I call BS on Your Online Profile Actually Tells a Lot About You · · Score: 2, Funny

    We should talk some time, what's your email address ?

  22. Re:Duh on Your Online Profile Actually Tells a Lot About You · · Score: 1

    women, just by generally being more communicative, drop more hints

    I knew all of those years of playing Final Fantasy would pay off one day.

  23. Re:Other applications? on Casting Doubt On the Hawkeye Ball-Calling System · · Score: 1

    Yes. We will be able to determine once and for all whether or not they just grabbed my ass.

  24. Get robbed on Text-Messaging Behind the Wheel · · Score: 2, Funny

    Just because you haven't crashed doesn't mean the extra few seconds it takes you to catch on to what's going on around you doesn't irritate the shit out of everyone else on the road an cause roadrage.

    Don't get mad when I smash out your car window with a tire iron and take your phone at a green light, if you were paying attention it wouldn't have happened.

  25. Re:You know who I feel sorry for? on North Pole Ice On Track To Melt By September? · · Score: 1
