  1. Re:When will it stop? on Man Creates ATLAS Detector From Lego Bricks · · Score: 1

    It's getting to a point where all the various types of LEGO could be an entire store unto itself!

    You want one of these?

  2. Re:I don't drink coffee on Disease Outbreak Threatens the Future of Good Coffee · · Score: 1

    I'm mostly confused that there apparently is such a thing as "good coffee"...

  3. Re:Nice concept on EU Countries Closer To Mandatory Minimum Sentence Cap For Hacking · · Score: 1

    I think politicians are managing to eff up economies in other countries just fine....

  4. Re:Democratic Europe, plutocratic America. on EU Wants To Enshrine Network Neutrality In Law · · Score: 1

    I'm opposed to the government changing legislation 'on the fly' just because one company does something bad.
    First, we need to make sure that the current laws don't cover this action.
    Then the parliament can look into the matter and if necessary make a new law after proper deliberations.

    What country do you live in?

    Where I'm from, the government is doing 50% kneejerk laws, without checking if existing laws covers the case (which is often the case)

  5. Re:You know what they say.. on iPhone 4, iPad 2 Get US Import Ban · · Score: 4, Insightful

    If we're lucky Apple will realise that patent reform is in their best interests as well as ours. More likely though is that this will be seen by Apple as a sign they need to step up their legal activities even further.

    If Apple and others conclude that Patent Reform is unavoidable, or in their interest, they will refocus part of their lobby and legal teams to ensure that it is as much in their interests(...) as possible, and as little-as-possible in ours (the public).

  6. Re:Watch the age trend on Matt Smith Leaves "Doctor Who" · · Score: 1

    They just introduced a 73-year old Doctor - theory broken.

  7. Re:Dig a hole on Mars Explorers Face Huge Radiation Problem · · Score: 1

    I have noting further of value to add to this conversation.

    What you mean "further"?

  8. Re:Microsoft has a majority market share on Ubuntu Closes Longstanding Bug #1 · · Score: 1

    Couldn't find "+1 Nerd" in moderation-options.

  9. Re:A name for PETA on PETA Wants To Sue Anonymous HuffPo Commenters · · Score: 1

    Depending on judge, some of the "I'd rather go nekkid than wear fur" girls could perhaps sway a judgement.

  10. Re:Techy drone-boners must stop. on German Railways To Test Anti-Graffiti Drones · · Score: 1

    German ticket-prices make NO sense.
    Went to Köln last summer.
    Regular ticket: 35 euro
    First class ticket: 28 euro

  11. Re:Start here on White House: Use Metric If You Want, We Don't Care · · Score: 1

    Didn't they just say you can do as you want, and simply read the sign as being in metric meter-per-second?

  12. Re:5% on Google Chrome 27 Is Out: 5% Faster Page Loads · · Score: 1

    I run Firefox/Aurora with NoScript - even basic pages showing a single picture (IMGUR and its friends) doesn't work.
    Somehow, being given a unique URL and showing the related picture requires client-side script in order to load said picture.

    Meanwhile, to get a faster internet, add Facebook and select Google domains to your internet filter (in router, AdBlock or whichever you prefer), and surfing suddenly gets more than 5% faster for most of the internets.

  13. Re:News for Lawyers on EFF Resumes Accepting Bitcoin Donations After Two Year Hiatus · · Score: 1

    Attitude-wise, they range from egotistical asshats who deserve to be wrapped in chains and pitched into the river,

    I assume these are some of the ones qualifying as "nerds".

  14. Re:not surprising on Google Drops XMPP Support · · Score: 1

    (Since moderating seems to be broken right now)
    THIS! The new client is useless for initiating conversations!

    Utter Piece Of Crap!

  15. Re:Don't...just don't on 9th Grade Science Experiment: Garden Cress Won't Germinate Near Routers · · Score: 1

    Having once attended 9th grade in Denmark, I expect they are aware of basic scientific principles ... like control samples, reproducible setups etc..

  16. Re:Warm the water directly on Swedish Data Center Saves $1M a Year Using Seawater For Cooling · · Score: 1

    Recent articles point to Denmark (ca next to sweden) as having issues that fishermen are getting swordfish and other tropical species in their nets as by-catch, while the normal (local) fishies are moving north - all due to shift in the water temperature.

  17. Re:"UN Says: Why Not Eat More Insects?" on UN Says: Why Not Eat More Insects? · · Score: 3, Informative

    Copenhagen restaurant Noma have won "Best Restaurant" a few times, on a menu that included candied ants.

  18. Re:Sounds good. on John McCain Working On Legislation For 'a La Carte' TV Channel Packages · · Score: 1

    Close - this is a sure-fire way for McCain and Friends to get some sponsorships, once they let it slip they are drafting this bill and are looking for "input".

    The exploding-in-your-face seems like a good reason to permit it >:]

  20. Re:Why is this a problem? on The First Fully 3D-Printed Gun Has Been Successfully Test-Fired · · Score: 1

    Level of entry - the 3D printed version is likely easier to make (requiring less skill in some areas)

    (Yes, that IS a perfectly valid car analogy)

    I take it you're not American...

  23. Re:What numbers? on ZDNet Proclaims "Windows: It's Over" · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Around win3.11 and Win95 - people seemed to be quite excited about those.

  24. Killer Feature: Slide keyboard on What's Next For Smartphone Innovation · · Score: 1

    I'd love to see a smartphone for sale in a store with a slide-away QWERTY keyboard - that would be really kool.
