  1. Re:capitalism fail on IBM Now Officially Worth More Than Microsoft · · Score: 1

    Stocks are like baseball cards withouy the pictures

  2. Re:How about parents just do their job? on IBM Patenting HAL-Like Stuffed Animal Toys · · Score: 1

    Heck with properly... How about at all. Everyone loses when parenting is out sourced. By everyone, I mean the entire population of Homo Sapien Sapiens on Terra Firma. Heck, I could make an argument that includes all Earths Flaura and Fauna.

  3. I have been outlawed on IBM Patenting HAL-Like Stuffed Animal Toys · · Score: 1

    Does this mean that my being a dad means I am also a patent violation?

  4. Re:Lying to humans by lying to robots on The Dirty Little Secrets of Search · · Score: 1

    User beware

  5. Fire in the Hole! on Two Huge Holes In the Sun Spotted · · Score: 1

    OMG my sun might fart on us.

  6. Re:Let that be a lesson to you! on Woman Gets Revenge Courtesy of Google Images · · Score: 1

    Is there another kind?

  7. Re:Okay, hold on a minute. on NASA Finds Family of Habitable Planets · · Score: 1

    Habitable by something. Perhaps not by us though.

  8. Orlando view on Challenger 25 Years Later · · Score: 1

    I was on lunch break at Nuclear Power School in Orlando. From Orlando we could tell the boosters had seperated too early and we could see the cloud forming where the main fuel tank had been. We had a much better view of what was happening in the first 10-15 seconds than anyone at KSC. I was again in Orlando in 2003, laying in bed waiting for the tell tale sound of Columbia's pass as it approached KSC. When it was 10 minutes late I told my wife that I thought the shuttle must have had a problem on reentry.

  9. Re:This will be great! on Canadian Firm Plans 78-Satellite Net Service · · Score: 1

    This is Canada bud, we have the most land per person with gaps in population not seen in most places in the world...

    So the pigeon packet drops are not as likely to land on someones head or windshield.

  10. Re:They only needed the aluminim transparent... on DoE Develops Flexible Glass Stronger Than Steel · · Score: 1

    ... And besides, which would make you feel better? magically appearing in a black void? Or looking out and seeing the insides of a Bird of Prey?

    or perhaps a pot of petunias.

  11. Re:My airplane concept was also given a grant. on NASA's Next-Generation Airplane Concepts · · Score: 1

    and feeding them costs just peanuts.

  12. Modify it a bit. on Red Cross Says Nurse Outfit Violates Geneva Convention · · Score: 1

    Get a pen and draw a heart in the middle of the cross and get on with it already.

  13. Re:Pussyfication on New Laser Makes Pirates Wish They Wore Eye-Patches · · Score: 1

    Good idea! Perhaps we could recruit some toothless red necks from Missouri. I am sure they are trustworthy enough to decide what a pirate looks like. They are also likely to be cheaper than retired special forces people. I suggest we develope a side rail that breaks away when a grappling hook latches on. I am confident we can win a cold war of anti grappling hook defences vs. advanced grappling hooks.

  14. Re:Wow on The Moon Has a Fluid Outer Core · · Score: 1

    Everyone get to the Space Needle, We're having Fondue for supper tonight.

  15. Let them vote on Should Dolphins Be Treated As Non-Human Persons? · · Score: 1

    If they can get to the polling office, I say we hand them a ballot and point the towards the next open booth.

  16. Re:double standard on Man Arrested For Exploiting Error In Slot Machines · · Score: 1

    ...Also remember: in a gambling town, the cops and judges aren't paid by the local government...

    WHAT? no way dude, the Mafia always plays fair.

  17. Re:As a voter who normally leans Democrat... on Democrats Crowdsourcing To Vote Palin In Primaries · · Score: 1

    Imagine you are an average voter and imagine you are clueles... but I repeat myself.

  18. Even a tiny one should be overkill on African Villages Glow With Renewable Energy · · Score: 1

    ...small solar systems now deliver useful electricity at a price that even the poor can afford....

    Would it have a white dwarf in the middle?

  19. Re:College is a choice... on Should Colleges Ban Classroom Laptop Use? · · Score: 1
    As stated in the summary

    ...I'll admit it, when I'm trying to pay attention to the lecture, even someone's screensaver in the row ahead of me can be a major distraction.

    If I want to squander my education, that is my problem, but I should not be allowed to squander others.

  20. Re:Kindergarten teachers might do on German Kindergartens Ordered To Pay Copyright For Songs · · Score: 1

    on the contrary, it should be encouraged. The alternative is a future generation that does not know what sheet music is or why it is in need of protection.

  21. Re:The whole issue is one gigantic strawman. on If the FCC Had Regulated the Internet From the Start · · Score: 1

    You still have the right to vote with your dollars.

  22. Re:Dress code? on Swiss Bank Has 43-Page Dress Code · · Score: 1

    Only dress code that should be required: 1) Do not show up to work naked. 2) If you're in a position where you need to be taken seriously, dress so that the other guy will take you seriously. 3) Seriously, noone wants to see you naked.

    Some people do look good naked, they just do not have /. IDs.

  23. Re:Causality on America's Cubicles Are Shrinking · · Score: 1

    Amazing how corporations will justify whatever they want...

    Either they economize ore they expire. I agree that it can sometimes take a while, but one way or another you either reduce cost or get passed.

  24. Education? on American Redneck Society Formed · · Score: 1

    Won't that educate them out oftheir own heritage? Who will pay the way for future red neck children?

  25. Re:Nice on Informative Shuttle Ascent Video · · Score: 1

    yep! I was just mentioning the last time the Govt was ahead of schedule and under budget. Well, the last time I can recall anyway. I am glad we do not exploit people and lives this way now, at least not blatently.
