  1. Re:Obligotory on IBM Open Sources Supercomputer Code · · Score: 1

    Yeah, what the hell, Firefox, I thought you were on my side.

  2. Curved monitor? on Electronic Eyeball Uses Curved Image Sensor · · Score: 2

    Ok, so you take a photo that doesn't have any distortion around the edges, then edit it by projecting it onto the inside of a sphere, then print it onto the inside of a bowl?

  3. Obligotory on IBM Open Sources Supercomputer Code · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Imagine a Beowolf cluster of these clusters.

  4. Re:plasma exit velocity? on NASA Plans Test of New Plasma Drive · · Score: 1

    So, how many of these would be needed to equal the force of a small atomic bomb? Could this be a more fuel efficient way to nuke things from orbit?

    I mean, I don't want to harm the environment any more than I have to, but some times, you just have to be sure about something.

  5. Re:Weird on 11 Charged In TJX, Other Breaches · · Score: 1

    and I don't drink!

  6. Re:On the other side of the coin on Your Medical Treatment History Is For Sale · · Score: 1

    Even those who never spend a day in the hospital will not benefit from this. All those people who don't have insurance will still need health care, possibly more so, and the states will be the ones stuck with the tab.

    Eventually, your taxes may rise to the point that you can no longer afford your gym membership and your fancy stretchy biking pants, then what?

  7. Re:he's not an attorney on California Can't Perform Pay Cut Because of COBOL · · Score: 1

    You must be new to California politics.

  8. Re:Programmers? on California Can't Perform Pay Cut Because of COBOL · · Score: 1

    Yes, because Arnold Schwarzenegger is going to go broke if he doesn't get his government paycheck.

  9. Re:$128, not $100 on "Clear" Air-Travel Pass Data Stolen From SFO · · Score: 5, Funny

    They charge a one-time fee of $28 to encode your data with an encryption algorithm known as 'plain text.'

  10. hundred bucks on "Clear" Air-Travel Pass Data Stolen From SFO · · Score: 3, Funny

    So it's the same price as mobileMe, and it provides users with the same level of frustration. Who says government contractors can't compete?

  11. When can we test it? on Gravity Tractor Could Deflect Asteroids · · Score: 2, Funny

    It will be much easier to colonize the moon if we move it a bit closer.

  12. Re:Nervous? on RIAA Gets Nervous, Brings In Big Gun · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Apparently industries are a bit like stars, in that the larger they are, the more they take with them when they collapse.

  13. Re:HOW THE FUCK IS THIS NEWS FOR NERDS??!!! on House Dems Turn Out the Lights On the GOP · · Score: 1

    Lights run on electricity. The switch to turn off the lights for all of congress is probably really big, with a great amount of retro-coolness. A democrat used it, and that makes them more technologically awesome. We should vote for them.

  14. The only way to be sure... on Creating a Security Test Environment? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    You can't be certain unless you have the source code, so tell the folks who are requiring this list to be created that they can say goodbye to Word and Excel.

  15. What's the difference? on NYT Explores the World of Internet Trolls · · Score: 0, Troll

    Can someone please explain the difference between troll posts and flamebait?

  16. Re:Beer Pong Video Game on The War Against Virtual Beer Pong · · Score: 5, Funny

    The War Against Virtual Beer Pong is actually a first-person shooter. It's the prequel to Duke Drinkem Forever.

  17. C'mon people on The War Against Virtual Beer Pong · · Score: 5, Funny

    Can't we all just get a pong?

  18. Slow news week? on Scrabulous Returns To Facebook, As Wordscraper · · Score: 1

    How many stories are we going to have to read about this game? It's a board game adapted to work in Facebook. Why should I care? Christ, you'd think it was Duke Nukem Forever or something.

  19. Re:We're just not explaining it right. on MPAA Plans To Launch Movie Links Site · · Score: 1

    Ok, so maybe this will help explain how some people (like myself) rationalize a little pirate goodness from time to time:

    1. A movie comes out, call it Bennigin's Shins, and I decide that I will never ever watch that movie, 'cause judging by the trailer, I feel that it is crap.

    2. It comes out on DVD, and I still think it's crap and I'm not going to rent it.

    3. It hits the bargain bin, and I still refuse to pay a dime for it.

    4. I happen to be perusing a torrent site, and I see Bennigin's Shins, and I think, well, it's crap, but it's free, and I've got the flu and time to kill, so what the hell.

    So, being that there was never a chance that I would have paid to see that movie, how is anyone loosing money by my watching the bootleg copy?

    Oh, and step 6 is Profit.

  20. Re:Well duh? on Yahoo! Music Going Dark, Taking Keys With It · · Score: 1

    If Apple's DRM isn't cracked in 20 years, I'll personally perform all your favorite tunes for your children.

    If Apple's Fairplay isn't broken in 20 years I'll personally perform all of your favorite tunes for your children.

  22. Re:I don't think eye candy is apple's big draw on Ubuntu Is Hyper-Active At OSCON · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Eye candy? Yeah, let me know when my mom can walk into the Ubuntu store and have someone walk her through sending photos.

  23. Re:Oh, good. on New Rifle Tech Offers Variable Muzzle Speed · · Score: 2, Funny

    Wow, you must be new here. People who write about facts they actually know something about can be found in the the 'articles' section. This is the 'comments' section. We just spout off blatherously.

  24. Don't call it Frisco on Louisiana Passes Intelligent Design Law · · Score: 1

    Ever. Kthx.

  25. Won't this interfere with the pilot's elctronics? on DHS Official Considered Shock Collars For Air Travelers · · Score: 1

    Do I have to turn off my shock collar prior to take of? I mean, it does fall under the umbrella of 'All electronic devices,' right?
