  1. That's nice, but... on Twins' DNA Foils Police · · Score: 1

    When are the courts going to get it through their heads that it doesn't take identical twins to make DNA tests fallible and utterly unsuited as sole evidence?

  2. Small steps on The Struggle To Keep Java Relevant · · Score: 1

    Try reviving interest in mohawks and tattoos first.

    Nothing screams "get off my lawn" more than the rebellious fashion of thirty years ago.

  3. Re:Why not? on Finland To Try Scanning Snail Mail · · Score: 1

    Who is to say you didn't get two 20's in that letter.

    Don't everyone's grandparents put steganographic checksums for enclosed money in the text of their letter? :P

  4. Re:Hey, Microsoft! on Microsoft Fuzzing Botnet Finds 1,800 Office Bugs · · Score: 1, Funny

    It would actually be believable except for the "also". :P

  5. Re:STOP on Google Announces New Google Wave "Wave" Notification · · Score: 1

    Remember 2004 though, when they joked about launching a free email service?

    Heh...

  6. BLASPHEMY on Cthulhu the Musical, Tentacular, Tentacular! · · Score: 1, Redundant

    Thou shalt not take the name of THE CTHULHU, THY SQUID in vain!

    Your heads shall be eaten last for this!

    Ia Ia Etc.

  7. Re:Google ruined april fools. on Google Announces New Google Wave "Wave" Notification · · Score: 1

    Well, the artificial intelligence is still trying to determine what humans find "humorous". It has realized that it can learn quicker by making multiple jokes per year. Once it has processed the results, it can keep us controlled with joke-embedded memes while it works on the extermination project.

    In a few years the punchline will be: "Because all the humans are DEAD! Haha!".

  8. Their user base was interviewed on Google Announces New Google Wave "Wave" Notification · · Score: 1

    as many as 10 people for these positions to deal with all the wave traffic

    Oof, that's got to sting.

    All three users, on the other hand, were very happy with this development.

  9. Re:Security is NOT an issue with The Cloud. on Microsoft Claims Google Chrome Steals Your Privacy · · Score: 1

    Don't forget to synergize your core competencies after leveraging those verticals.

  10. Re:Scam on Fossil of Ant-Eating Dinosaur Discovered In China · · Score: 1

    Exactly, here's a real scientist whose work is completely available on teh Intergoogle. For free.

  11. Is Yahoo going to follow Google? on Journalists' Yahoo E-Mail Accounts Compromised In China · · Score: 1

    Time for all foreign internet companies to boycott the Chinese network, in my view. If they want to wall themselves off and not play nice, let them see where it gets their economy.

  12. Re:I feel sorry on Solaris No Longer Free As In Beer · · Score: 1

    The entire Solaris user-base was quoted saying "Wow, this sucks."

  13. The Last We Will Ever Hear Of This on Novell Wins vs. SCO · · Score: 1

    That's what we thought the last twenty times the case has been in the headlines...

  14. THIS is going to put the deniers at ease on James Lovelock Suggests Suspending Democracy To Save the World · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Conspiracy theorists are babbling about how climate change is an excuse to suspend democracy and unite all countries under a world government, and the solution is to suspend democracy and unite all countries under a world government in order to combat climate change. That's deliciously ironic.

  15. Countersue for fraud on Man Sues Neighbor Claiming Wi-Fi Made Him Sick · · Score: 1

    Electromagnetic sensitivity has been thoroughly debunked as a complete bullshit myth. The guy would have better grounds to sue his neighbors for psychic interference by setting him on fire in their imagination (which they doubtlessly do).

  16. Safe for two hours? on Self-Destructing USB Stick · · Score: 1

    That's barely enough time to even read the specifications. To be taken seriously, the challenge should have given them at least a week, possibly several.

    For keeping my secrets safe for two hours, I wouldn't need to shell out that much money...

  17. Re:Just goes to show... on Lord British's Lost Lunar Rover Found, After 37 Years · · Score: 1

    I have a rover to sell you; year 2003, very good condition though it could probably use a good wipe to get rid of all the sand. Solar powered and very environment-friendly. :-D

  18. BOFH on Do Car Safety Problems Come From Outer Space? · · Score: 1

    "I flip through my excuse calendar.

    Electronic Disruption due to Cosmic Radiation.

    Ah, this day is going to be fun."

    Or something like that, anyway. :P

  19. Re:I can't wait for databases to die on Why Some Devs Can't Wait For NoSQL To Die · · Score: 1

    The wonderful thing is that they're so easy to make!

    Just slap

    <xmldata> ... </xmldata>

    around all of your data files, and you're done!

  20. Re:a government that fears its own people is weak on A Look Into China's Web Censorship Program · · Score: 1

    The problem is that the government doesn't fear its people enough to treat them well.

  21. Bad idea on Will ACTA Be Found Unconstitutional? · · Score: 1

    Mr. President, do you *want* to drive geeks to joining the teabagger Republicans?

    There's enough crap on the internet about your imaginary violations of the Constitution that you should probably avoid actually violating it.

    Sign ACTA and I'll de-friend you on Facebook. No, really.

  22. Awesome! on Microsoft Adopts SVG For Internet Explorer 9 · · Score: 4, Funny

    At this rate, IE 14 might actually be worth using!

  23. Re:WTF? Just ask the patient. on Could Colorblindness Cure Be Morally Wrong? · · Score: 1

    I totally would!

    I want fricking lasers attached to my fricking head!

    (Signed,
    a shark)

  24. What the HELL on College To Save Money By Switching Email Font · · Score: 1

    "Save money on ink by switching email font..."

    That's like ordering diet coke with your super-sized fast food menu. :(

    Makes you weep...

  25. Re:Webfilters, a great motivator! on Fixing Internet Censorship In Schools · · Score: 1

    Yes please. We need less how-is-babby-formed.

    "You must be this smart to ride."
