  1. Request for deletion on German Wikipedia Passes One Million Article Mark · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Interestingly, there is a request for deletion on the millionth article.

    And by interestingly, you mean unsurprisingly.

  2. Re:Frist Post! on Fifth Anniversary of a Cosmic Onslaught · · Score: 1

    That's the energy released from the combustion of seven bazillion Libraries of Congress.

  3. Re:javascript on How To Teach a 12-Year-Old To Program? · · Score: 4, Funny

    a web programming language, not something a 12 year old should be using

    From some of the Javascript code and web pages I've seen, it seems to be perfectly suited for 12-year-olds. :P

  4. Everyone stand back! on Critics Call For NASA TV To "Liven Up" · · Score: 1

    This is a job for... SAGAN-MAN!

  5. "But..." on TSA Wants You To Keep Your Seat, and Your Hands In Sight · · Score: 2, Insightful

    "I have to PEE!"

    "Please remain seated, sir."

  6. Re:Result on Man Tries To Use Explosive Device On US Flight · · Score: 3, Funny

    Thank you so much for this vivid imagery.

  7. Re:Result on Man Tries To Use Explosive Device On US Flight · · Score: 5, Funny

    Exactly. You ban bottled water, and only outlaws will have bottled water. :P

  8. Re:"Launching is frequently the key to success?" on Launching Frequently Key To NASA Success · · Score: 1

    Aw, troll? Someone is a little grumpy today.

    Bah Humbug?

  9. "Launching is frequently the key to success?" on Launching Frequently Key To NASA Success · · Score: 1, Funny

    No shit, Sherlock? Good luck succeeding without launching. :P

    (Yes, I know.)

  10. Re:People do notice on Why Coder Pay Isn't Proportional To Productivity · · Score: 2, Informative

    I've made 6000% profit.

    To be accurate, you have increased profits by $11.80/hour. How much this relatively increases profits is impossible to determine without knowing what the company is making in total. The 6000% figure only applies if the company was so far making an hourly profit of around $0.20, in which case it's amazing they are still able to pay you. ;-)

  11. Re:Another contributor to productivity invisibilit on Why Coder Pay Isn't Proportional To Productivity · · Score: 1

    If you are a smart programmer, your 'clever' code can be so impossible to debug by others that it must be entirely replaced to be corrected.

    Yup. You have read the tale of the Wizard Mel, I'm sure? :P

  12. You know on Climate, Habitat Threaten Wild Coffee Species · · Score: 1

    Flooding, living on a house boat, having to wear an EVA suit... I can deal with that.

    But take away my coffee and things will go rough for you. Get me to Copenhagen so I can knock some sense into those people.

  13. Google's Malware Blacklist on The 87 Lamest Moments In Tech, 2000-2009 · · Score: 2, Funny

    Marissa Mayer explains that someone accidentally added a slash mark to the list of risky sites, prompting the search engine to mistakenly believe the entire Web is hazardous.

    Wait, that was a mistake?

  14. MS? on The 87 Lamest Moments In Tech, 2000-2009 · · Score: 1

    I guess that's only because you're limiting yourself to actual tech decisions, not including tech companies litigating.

    (Oh wait. Let's make that "litigation companies litigating." I don't even know why I brought it up.)

  15. How amazing! on DECAF Was Just a Stunt, Now Over · · Score: 3, Insightful

    In shockingly unexpected news, it turns out that a closed-source alleged anti-malware software was not trustworthy.

    Who would have guessed.

  16. Re:Yeah, but it's France.... on Google Found Guilty of French Copyright Infringement · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Except that before Napoleon even shared a border with Russia, he had to own most of Europe. I can see how the geographical details might be lost on Americans, though.

  17. Re:Still better than the CRIA on Google Found Guilty of French Copyright Infringement · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I cannot help but smile at the karmic deliciousness of a "RIA" organization being sued for billions for infringement.

  18. This sounds AWESOME on Microsoft Seeks Patent On Shaming Fat Gamers · · Score: 1

    Quick, tell me! Where do I sign up to pay for the privilege of being discriminated against for my views or appearance!

  19. Re:It must be true! on Dark Matter Particles May Have Been Detected · · Score: 5, Funny

    Exactly! I keep telling people; Einstein was wrong! An absolute speed limit makes no sense because there's no way I can understand how that would work!

    Do you have the email of the president of physics?

  20. Re:Cue the apologists... on EU Demands Canada Rework Its Copyright, Patent Law · · Score: 1

    Maybe because Spain and Finland are parts of the EU, while Canada is not.

  21. I am ashamed to be European on EU Demands Canada Rework Its Copyright, Patent Law · · Score: 1

    Sorry for the asshattery.

  22. Re:Defective by Design on DRM Flub Prevented 3D Showings of Avatar In Germany · · Score: 1

    Just because you don't have enough bits for a good resolution in the digital format doesn't mean the bits are bad, either. :P

  23. Re:I predict 30 of these species will outlast huma on 94 New Species Described By CA Academy of Sciences · · Score: 1

    There will be no need for economies if we have the power of life at our fingertips. AKA God

    Don't forget thermodynamics. Being able to alter our own biology does not change the fact that we will continue to need energy.

  24. 65 new kinds of spiders on 94 New Species Described By CA Academy of Sciences · · Score: 1

    Wherever they went, I want to stay far away from it.

  25. Re:I recently needed to learn how to set a live tr on Dad Delivers Baby Using Wiki · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Which is particularly annoying because deletionists will be happy to tell you that Wikipedia Is Not A Manual Or Guidebook, so this could never have happened with Wikipedia in the first place.
