    What makes you believe I might be interested in your product?

    You seem quite positive."

  3. Critical level on NASA's Plutonium Supply Dwindling; ESA To Help · · Score: 5, Funny

    NASA's stockpile of the plutonium isotope Pu-238 is at a critical level

    They've got a critical amount of Pu-238 and they want more?

  4. Re:Ah... on Internet Censorship Arms Race Gets New Weapon From Georgia Tech · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Exactly. Just about the only legitimate content one could more or less safely hide behind is communication that is vital for business and international finance.

    The government of China is all too willing to block Google over failing to censor certain search results - why would they have qualms about blocking Flickr if it is being used for spreading "subversive" content?

  5. Re:Fundamental technology on NTP Sues Six Major Tech Companies Over Wireless Email Patents · · Score: 1

    WHAT? People put peanut butter AND jelly on their bread without paying license fees to me? I need to call my lawyer!

  6. Re:So, if I'm reading this right... on Skype Encryption (Partly) Revealed · · Score: 1

    A different Skype implementation would still have to implement this encryption algorithm that is suspected to be weak, in order to be compatible.

    A better idea would be to make a new program with encryption that is actually secure.

  7. If publishing the scheme weakened it... on Skype Encryption (Partly) Revealed · · Score: 1

    Then that would have to be one crappy encryption algorithm.

    having your man-parts torn off in a freak industrial accident.

    That would be far too good for the creator of Jar Jar Binks.

  12. But light sabers AREN'T LASERS on George Lucas C&Ds 'Lightsaber Laser' · · Score: 1

    George Lucas fails the invented physics of his own fictional universe forever!

  13. 1934 on AU Band Men At Work Owes Royalties On 'Kookaburra' · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Fuck, is the guy who wrote this even still alive?

    Oh right, copyright law is written for zombies.

  14. MS is doing it wrong on Microsoft Out of Favor With Young, Hip Developers · · Score: 1

    Microsoft's program to seed start-ups with its software for free requires the fledgling companies to meet certain guidelines and jump through hoops to receive software

    That is so not how to do it. They should learn from drug dealers: "Hey kid. First hit is free." :P

  15. Re:Can't Do Much on The Unstoppable 'Tech Support' Scam · · Score: 1

    You still have to get a license to drive one, so automobiles don't seem to be ready for prime time either. ;)

    It is sometimes baffling that after the past half century of America being a nuclear power, we are actually still here.

    And to prevent people from memorizing the stops, the line must follow a randomized route that changes every week!

    Stop! Lawsuit time!

    Then by making another sandwich, he still wouldn't make me hungrier.

    To put it in terms of a metaphor, this analogy limps. In terms of a simile, the analogy collapses like a souffle. And in terms of an analogy, this analogy is like using a simile between some metaphor for apples and another one for oranges.

    (I read xkcd this morning. Can you tell?)

  21. Catch 22 on Climategate's Final Days · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    The conservatives will not trust anyone smart enough to disprove their stupidity.

  22. NICE! on MS Design Lets You Put Batteries In Any Way You Want · · Score: 2
