  1. Re:Well she has a point... on 10th Annual Wacky Warning Labels Out · · Score: 1

    I stopped reading after the word "wacky"

  2. Re:Imagine if this malnfunctioned on the freeway on Toyota Creating In-Vehicle Alcohol Detection System · · Score: 1

    Luckily, 17,000 people a year do not die a year while receiving "road head" (or similar), so an in-car-erection-detector-and-engine-disabler won't be necessary.

  3. Logical progression on Voice Over IP Under Threat? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    This seems a logical progression of phishing, but it's hardly going to be a large impediment to the adoption of VOIP. Phishing hasn't dissuaded people from using email.

  4. Re:Hmm? on RIAA Goes for the Max Against AllofMP3 · · Score: 5, Funny

    Those are my two cents!

  5. Re:This paves the way... on Mars Rovers' Software Upgraded · · Score: 1
    Surely it would call Redstone?

    And let's hope this isn't used on multi-stage launch vehicles. As soon as the first stage is jettisoned, the rest of it stops working and theres a mighty big hole filled with rocket fuel somewhere.

  6. Re:Fool me twice... on Darwin Awards 2006 · · Score: 3, Funny

    No, just a fatwa. Don't worry.

  7. Re:next up on George Orwell Was Right — Security Cameras Get an Upgrade · · Score: 1
    In the UK courts, there is a presumption of innocence. This is part of the EU agreement, and the UK is part of the EU.

  8. Re:How ... on 'Killer' Network Card Actually Reduces Latency · · Score: 1

    The next version further refines the technology to give you a negative ping

  9. Re:The rest of the launch lineup can go to hell... on Two Weeks with the Wii · · Score: 1

    As a counterexample, my 4 year old PS2 has never had a single problem except that one time when I needed to hoover out the dust from the front air intakes. I'm giving the other consoles a miss because I much prefer the depth of PC games, despite the costs of the hardware. The Wii is the only next gen console I'll be after.

  10. Re:Cry me a river... on Cost of Game Development is 'Crazy' Says EA · · Score: 1

    Well, give or take a dimension.

  11. Re:Suit up guys! on Millimeter-Wave Weapon Certified For Use In Iraq · · Score: 1

    Doesn't metal kind of, uh, heat up and spark like crazy when you put it in a microwave? that doesn't sound like very effective armour to me.

  12. Re:Apollo = 2.5 Iraqs on NASA Unveils Strategy for Return to the Moon · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Apollo program, not apollo missions. One apollo mission was relatively cheap, but the program required to develop the technology for that missions (and the others) was expensive. I suppose there could have been a new moon program and a fusion power program (or a sizable donation to the ITER)

  13. Re:California rules on Detecting Tailgaters With Lasers · · Score: 3, Funny

    Yup, 10 feet seems about enough for the other motorists to avoid crashing into my "huge car"

  14. Re:BREAKING NEWS on Sony Probably Going To Do PlayStation 4 · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't the same have been said about Sega during the Megadrives heyday?

  15. Re:Reggie Who? on Nintendo Talks the Future of Wii · · Score: 2, Interesting
    According to babelfish, it translates as "Wire-like"

    And goldeneye on the wii? It's good that we get a classic game, but what about new franchises? The games listed (wario, mario, metroid etc) are getting old. Do we need more rehashes? I would rather see some new ideas, not "Super mario 131". look how well animal crossing did.

  16. Re:wow, and run by a loon too on Polonium-210 Available Through Mail Order · · Score: 1

    I guess that makes it true then.

  17. Re:Money Reader on Judge Says U.S. Money Violates Rights of the Blind · · Score: 1

    Notes are not the only form of cash. I pay for those things that you mentioned with coins, which are perfectly distinguishable by the blind.

  18. Re:This is DANGEROUS on Nanoknives To Be Used to Cut Cells · · Score: 1

    Exactly why would a nano-knife be more dangerous than, say, a cheap ordinary knife, widely available and easy to conceal? Why does the "nano"ness of a knife make it so much more "DANGEROUS"?

  19. Re:Isolation on the rise too on Online Video Begins To Threatens Television · · Score: 1

    Very good point, examples can be found at pretty much anywhere which purports to be a forum for discussing conspiracies.

  20. Re:Useful? on Purdue Streams a Movie At 7.5Gb/sec · · Score: 3, Funny

    Cue porn jokes.

  21. WMD? on Space Telescope Catches Monster Flare · · Score: 1, Funny

    50 quintillion atomic bombs? The pegasiuns have nukular weapons! Quickly, draw up sanctions/ignore/invade

  22. Re:I urge you to be insightful on The Dolphin With Leftover Legs · · Score: 1

    No. There is species A, which has babies which are species B and species C. Species A dies out, and two separate species are left.

  23. Re:WTF? on NASA's Rollercoaster For Moon Rocket Escape · · Score: 2, Funny

    Customer: For great lawsuit.

  25. Re:Laws of robotics on Androids at China's Robot Expo · · Score: 1

    The laws were made flawed to create interesting scenarios for novels. Nobody wants to read a book where nothing bad or challenging to the intellect happens.
