  1. Re:Popeye meets Anita Bryant on GMO Oranges? Altering a Fruit's DNA To Save It · · Score: 1

    Donald Duck Oranges will have to change it's name to Popeye.

  2. Re:Gyros on GPS Spoofing With $3000 Worth of Equipment and a Laptop · · Score: 1

    Try looking at your wake. It's a pretty good indication if you're turning.

  3. Coffee on US Lawmakers Want Sanctions On Any Country Taking In Snowden · · Score: 1

    Better hope he doesn't go to South America. The US could not survive without coffee.

  4. Re:pacific rim didn't have lots of big name stars. on Hollywood's Love of Analytics Couldn't Prevent Six Massive Blockbuster Flops · · Score: 1

    I liked Pacific Rim. The explosions started right away and it took 20 minutes to introduce the female love interest.

  5. Not answering calls? on Maneuvering Continues For Control of Dell · · Score: 2

    Now Mikey knows how the rest of us feel when we try to call him.

    MS could pay its taxes.

  8. Re:Linus management technique works on Kernel Dev Tells Linus Torvalds To Stop Using Abusive Language · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Sounds like MS in the early days. Management by screaming. I guess it was successful too.

  9. Imhofe on Microsoft Sues US Customs For Allowing Imports of Banned Motorola Phones · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I guess Google's backing of James Imhofe paid off. And who is Microsoft to complain about secret meetings with government officials?

  10. Re:Fixed that for you on Steve Ballmer Reorganizing Microsoft · · Score: 1

    We trained hard...... But it seems that every time we were beginning to form up into teams, we would be reoganized. I was to learn in later life that we tend to meet any new situation by reoganizing: and a wonderful method it cam be for creation the illusion of progress while producing confusion, inefficiency, and demoralization. Petonius Arbiter 210 B.C.

  11. Great, pick a country that's in a depression to launch a product.

  12. Re:Kettle = Black on EU To Vote On Suspension of Data Sharing With US · · Score: 1

    I wonder how much of the information the US collected was industrial intelligence and found it's way to companies like Boeing?

  13. Application with a gun on DNA Fog Helps Identify Trespassers, Thieves, and Brigands · · Score: 1

    I've never heard of applying DNA to a fleeing criminal with a gun. Sampling, yes, but not applying. A 9MM provides sufficient DNA samples.

  14. Backup on US Mining Data Directly From 9 Silicon Valley Companies · · Score: 4, Funny

    I accidentally deleted an email. Do you think I can get it from the NSA?

  15. Re:Wind, sure... on OK City Data Center Built To Withstand Winds Up To 310 MPH, Says Contractor · · Score: 1

  16. Why not build it underground?

    This hasn't changed my opinion of the NYPD at all.

  19. Wilie Sutton on How Colleges Are Pushing Out the Poor To Court the Rich · · Score: 1

    That's where the money is.

  20. N2A on Barnes & Noble Adds Google Play Store To the Nook · · Score: 1

    Nook to Android (N2A) has a bootable MicroSD card that already allows this but it's nice BN finally figured it out.

  21. Re:Here's a real link to the "dance tax" article on Former Microsoft Managers Now In Charge of Washington State's Budget · · Score: 2

    So nothing has changed. Before MS it was Boeing. Before them it was Weyerhaeuser. Before them it was the railroads. No different than any other state.

  22. Re:The big rush on A Critique of the Boston Bombing News Coverage (Video) · · Score: 1

    I saw one story in the newspaper that was just a list of times of who reported what and who was first with what. Read like a re cap of a football game.

  23. Re:IRS needs to go on IRS Can Read Your Email Without Warrant · · Score: 1

    Or another solution is if the IRS doesn't win a case, that citizen doesn't have to pay any taxes for the period of time that they were in jeopardy of.
