  1. Nothing to see here.... on The Arctic Is Leaking Methane · · Score: 2, Informative

    Seen already.

    ...but can we do something about it?

  2. I can't believe this ... on Real Settles Lawsuits, Will Stop Selling RealDVD · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I have to agree with Freedomworks (the people who brought you teabaggers) on this. Foes can sometimes turn into friends while fighting a common enenmy.

  3. Oh Pay Me Baby One More Time! on Newsday Gets 35 Subscriptions To Pay Web Site · · Score: 1

    Face it, with Newsday, NY Times going to the pay to read model and with the rest of News Corp papers doing the same I think this is the direction the rest of the industry is headed. Though I believe a simpler way to pay would be to have an aggregator like Google charge us for the news and distribute the revenues to the individual content providers whenever I click on the feeds. At the same time, if I prefer to go freebie, I would get the same (but lower quality?) news from one of the other sources all grouped under the same subject.

  4. Why would Hulu need Nielsen Ratings? on Nielsen Ratings To Count Online TV Viewing · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Unlike traditional TV where you need ratings like Nielsen, to get advertisers, Hulu could just show the traffic that comes to their site.

  5. Of course ... on Cold War Standoff Over ISS Toilet · · Score: 0, Redundant

    In Soviet Russia, ISS facilities use you!

  6. It will be all fine on NASA's Orbiting Carbon Observatory Set For Launch Tomorrow · · Score: 4, Funny

  7. Re:This went out in July of 07 at my office on The Art of The Farewell Email · · Score: 1

    OMG - JP Morgan!

    First Clue - Saroj Hariprashad

    Second - Jamie Dimon is the CEO of JP Morgan!

  8. Always end with a Tolkien quote on The Art of The Farewell Email · · Score: 1

    My past two jobs were ended with

    "I don't know half you half as well as I should like and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve."

    It always leaves a little mystery. :)

  9. Obligatory on UPS, Generators Join Servers For Boxed Data Centers · · Score: 3, Funny

    UPS and generator in a box

    Now, what can brown do for you?

  10. Next Plan on NASA Fashions Mountain-Climbing Robot · · Score: 2, Funny

    Due to budget cuts and to save on fuel costs, Axel is designed to climb up Mt. Everest and blast off to outer space from there.

  11. Energy Companies on Cape Wind Ready To Bring First Offshore Wind Farm · · Score: 1

    I know that N*Star already provides an option in Mass. of getting your energy from wind turbines for a smaller fee. I just hope other companies follow suit.

  12. The Loyal Opposition on Cape Wind Ready To Bring First Offshore Wind Farm · · Score: 3, Informative

    If anyone wants to read what the Alliance To Save Nantucket Sound wants to say about this, it's here.

  13. Re:Two major roadblocks on Cape Wind Ready To Bring First Offshore Wind Farm · · Score: 1

    I hear Bill O'Reilly is moving to Mass. to 'bloviate'.

  14. The 'Smart' Camera Revolution on A Sony Camera Running Linux · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The last decade heralded the smart cellphone revolution. Cellphones with more and more features including camera, bluetooth, wireless, PDA yada yada.

    I think what we are witnessing here is the beginning of the camera revolution. Smart cameras with wireless capabilities. Soon we shall see direct integration with social networks, ability to communicate over Skype etc. Innovation from the other end of the spectrum.

  15. Is it just me? on Apple Introduces "MacBook Wheel" · · Score: 2, Funny

    Or does the anchorwoman have a head shaped like an onion?

  16. Re:Windows 7 Rap on Windows 7 Leaked To Pirates By Microsoft? · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Flamebait? It was supposed to be funny!

  17. Windows 7 Rap on Windows 7 Leaked To Pirates By Microsoft? · · Score: 4, Funny

    Delighted to see MS squirmin'
    But they ain't wrigglin'
    Cause they leaked 7 on the Bay
    Seen sunshine and made hay
    Now bloggers are talkin 'bout
    That the new OS is out
    But I see a frown
    Cause their computer is down!

  18. Bad Economy on Doubts Multiply About the "Long Tail" · · Score: 1

    Could it be that because of the bad economy those things on the farther ends of the tails which were more cheap and more available before aren't so anymore?

  19. The Title on How Apple Could Survive Without Steve Jobs · · Score: 0, Redundant

    "The Wall Street Journal asks How Apple Could Survive Without Steve Jobs

    That's not a question. It's a statement - or a hypothesis at best.

  20. But does it fix the critical vulnerability? on A First Look At Internet Explorer 8 RC1 · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Does it fix this?

  21. Re:No, this is typical for virtually anyone sellin on What The Banned iPhone Ad Should Really Look Like · · Score: 1

    Apple should really be slapped for repeatedly misrepresenting [brej.org] their products

    Who doesn't? Went to Wendy's the other day and got a #2 combo because it looked pretty awesome on the order board. Got back to the office and opened it up to discover something pretty gross looking, a mash of squashed bun and grey meat. Yum. This isn't a rare case, and is pretty much the norm of advertising.

    Lol, reminds me of the first time I came to the US. I saw these Taco Bell ads on TV with their mucho cheesy, huge taco leaving you full for just $2.99! I went to the nearest Taco Bell only to encounter these measly looking tacos and horrible service. I believe I went fast food restaurant hopping that night from Taco Bell to Wendy's to Burger King to McDonald's.

    Let's just say I learnt my lesson well.

  22. Re:More to the point, would you want them to? on Arranging Electronic Access For Your Survivors? · · Score: 4, Funny

    'To who it may concern. Please use the below username and password to inform the other posters at AlbinoAmazonAmputeeLovers.com of my sad demise.'

    Do it Da Vinci Code style. Lie naked in you pool of blood leaving them clues about Leonardo's paintings! It will be like an Easter Egg chase only everyone will be sad and miserable...

  23. Re:Not quite there yet on Most of Woolly Mammoth Genome Reconstructed · · Score: 1

    In the 1800s, members of the royal society had some Mammoth steaks from a frozen beast found in the permafrost in Siberia. They said it tasted like chicken.

    That is so 1800s. They find a fine specimen and WHAT do they do? Eat it ...

  24. So why can't Windows and Linux do this? on Secure OS Gets Highest NSA Rating, Goes Commercial · · Score: 2, Interesting

    What's preventing Microsoft and open source world from understanding these "sophisticated" attacks and hardening their respective operating systems against them?
