  1. Re:Finally on North Pole Ice On Track To Melt By September? · · Score: 1

    Well for the penguins sake, I hope these scientists are as good at reading numbers as you two are.

  2. Collision on Mars Had an Ancient Impact Like Earth · · Score: 1

    What if the Earth and Mars collided with each other billions of years ago ?

  3. Re:Why? on Researchers Demo Flippable-Page E-book Reader · · Score: 5, Insightful

    This makes it much more appealing to a broader (read: older) audience who don't want to "learn something new".

    If they don't want to learn something new, my first piece of advice would have to be quit reading books.
  4. Real world my ass on Real-World Firefox 3 Memory Usage Leads the Field · · Score: 1

    Give me a break, when's the last time you met a Firefox user who doesn't use a half-dozen extensions, some of which provide functionality native to Opera and Safari ?

    This is about as close to "real world" as the show on MTV.

  5. Re:Those specs don't make sense... on First US Offshore Wind Power Park In Delaware · · Score: 1

    You must be new here.

  6. Re:The conspiracy continues... on First US Offshore Wind Power Park In Delaware · · Score: 1

    It actually is kinda funny, because, well, I'm a Floridiot & I was wondering which one of the Great Lakes they were going to construct these turbines on.

  7. Re:The conspiracy continues... on First US Offshore Wind Power Park In Delaware · · Score: 5, Funny

    Delaware blows

    I hope so.
  8. Re:Out like a light on Huge Traffic On Wikipedia's Non-Profit Budget · · Score: 1

    Well then, I guess we all know where I'm going next time a hurricane rolls through. :)

  9. Out like a light on Huge Traffic On Wikipedia's Non-Profit Budget · · Score: 1

    300 servers housed in a single data center in Tampa, Fla.

    Did Wikipedia go down when hurricanes Chralie/etc came through a few years ago ?
    I lost power for about a week when that happened and I only live about 15 miles from Tampa, right over the Courtney Campbel Causeway actually.
  10. Re:Epitome on Return of the '70s Microsoft Weirdos · · Score: 1

    Yeah I thought that blonde lady looked alot different without her beard too.

  11. Wording on Enforcing the GPL On Software Companies? · · Score: 1

    "Make available" and "Advertise Availability" are two different concepts.
    I don't think they're in violation unless they deny a request for the source code.

  12. Ask me no questions and I'll tell you no lies... on Man Fired When Laptop Malware Downloaded Porn · · Score: 1

    ... or truths.

    Apparently someone thought this person was just fucking strange to begin with if they got with an attorney & fired their ass before they realized anything was going on.

  13. Re:Bah! on All Your Coffee Are Belong To Us · · Score: 4, Funny

    I wave my private parts in your French press's general direction.

    You know that feeling you get when you know you should tell someone they're about to do something really painfull, but you don't want to say anything because you haven't had a good laugh all week ?
  14. Re:Tell him tt's a trap on How To Convince My Boss Not To Spam? · · Score: 1

    So what you're saying is the list is "poisoned" ?

    I can't speak for everyone, but that would be enough to disuade me right there.

  15. Think ahead on Computer Art For a CS Dept Office? · · Score: 1

    Why would you renovate an office only to put old forms of artwork in there ?
    This is computer schence, put some digital picture frames or something in there for cryin out loud ! :)

  16. Re:Do women write better code? on Do Women Write Better Code? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Let's just say their man pages are on a whole 'nuther level.

  17. Re:Do women write better code? on Do Women Write Better Code? · · Score: 2, Funny

    What you don't realize is that they just program in a higher level language, and based on your comment your coworkers are very good at it.

  18. Re:Wow. on Genetic Building Blocks Found In Meteorite · · Score: 1

    I really don't think the idea is any more ridiculous than the thought of humans introducing non-native species to a contenient.
    Oceans, space, once you look past the material differences between the two they're really the same concept.

  19. Don't get your hopes up on How To Teach a Healthy Dose of Skepticism? · · Score: 1

    My dad was the king of let downs, that's how I learned.

  20. Re:Sounds pretty pointless on Real Racing In the Virtual World · · Score: 3, Informative

    Only when there's hordes of people watching and nobody gets hurt.

  21. Big Bang & God on Study Hints At Time Before Big Bang · · Score: 1

    Is it just me, or are the Big Bang people starting to sound just like the God people ?

    Here's my theory, there is no beginning & there will be no end.
    There is no box to think outside of.

  22. Gonna be ok on Sneaky Blackmailing Virus That Encrypts Data · · Score: 4, Funny

    I'm not going to worry about this.
    I'm sure the fine folks of our Government are watching everything that happens on my computer & will promptly decrypt my files for me using their built-in back doors.

  23. Re:Close but... on Machine Prints 3D Copies Of Itself · · Score: 1

    I think it's about time I volunteer in my community & start collecting the contents of the plastic recycling bins in front of everyones houses on trash day !

  24. Blinking Lights on Researchers Tout New Network Worm Weapon · · Score: 2, Funny

    What's wrong with looking at the router lights blinking when the system shouldn't be doing anything and saying "Heeey, that's not right !" ?

  25. Re:Why the hell... on McAfee Picks the Most Dangerous TLDs · · Score: 1

    Because it sounds Irish, and my Irish drinking buddy kicks the shit out of anyone who tries to steal my money off the bar.
