  1. When homophones attack. on Monsanto Executive Wins World Food Prize · · Score: 0

    Cell not sell.

  2. Uhhh on Water-Prospecting Lunar Rover Prototype Built · · Score: 0

    I initially read that as a waterboarding rover...

  3. Hatchback on NASA's First New Spacesuit In 20 Years Is Its Own Airlock · · Score: 0

    I guess that is one way to say gastrointestinal appeasement...

  4. Curious on Google Outs 3D Maps For iOS Ahead of Apple · · Score: 0

    Will it offer a flight simulation mode? Traffic jams be damned!

  5. Re:Fuel is cheap on NASA Successfully Test Fires J-2X Engine. · · Score: 1

    I must commend you on the the fuel breakdown! My comment, however, was way beyond the fuel cost as that is negligible. I was thinking more on the legacy costs of overhead, engineering, production, etc. Given a budget of a couple hundred million and the number of years to create a prototype arrived me to my previous statement.

  6. 500 seconds... on NASA Successfully Test Fires J-2X Engine. · · Score: 0

    Roughly 3 million taxpayer dollars a second for basically nothing?

  7. Change it on End Bonuses For Bankers · · Score: 0

    First solution would be to change the laws and force the banks to be just banks and not a forum for creating markets on the backs of the innocent. Allowing them to have investment capabilities under the same roof was the biggest mistake ever allowed. I still can't wrap my head around companies that are either under government control or still owe the government money for the bailouts are still delving bonuses. Talk about an egregious slap in the face.

  8. Like a car on Ask Slashdot: Unity/Gnome 3/Win8/iOS — Do We Really Hate All New GUIs? · · Score: 0

    All the GUIs mentioned can be altered to your needs and each do everything required. If anything to be extended from these opinions would be mainly choice of OS. Like picking a car with automatic or manual transmissions or a moon roof versus convertible, etc.

  9. so... on Banshee, Mono May Be Dropped From Ubuntu Default · · Score: 0

    When will they improve or give up on Unity?

  10. It's all fun and games until... on Airline to Offer In-Flight Adult Movies · · Score: 0

    Now that is what I call a sticky situation!

  11. Well on Vulnerabilities Discovered In Prison SCADA Systems · · Score: 0

    With the holiday layoffs occurring and the housing market still in shambles, it is only fitting somebody has found a way to break into prison for the free room and board.

  12. After all... on Brazilian ISPs Hit With Massive DNS Attack · · Score: 1

    You're just another BRIC in the wall.

  13. Young Einstein on Google's Patent Lawyer On Why the Patent System Is Broken · · Score: 0

    Reminds me of the scene in Young Einstein when the patent office denied Albert a patent on a formula. Millions of patents these days based on nothing but an idea hiding in wait to sue some company who actually produces something you squatted but never truly took it beyond paper.

  14. Re:No Surprise on NASA: If There Was Life On Mars, It Was Likely Underground · · Score: -1, Troll

    Anonymous coward obviously lacks skills in grammar and forethought.

  15. No Surprise on NASA: If There Was Life On Mars, It Was Likely Underground · · Score: -1, Troll

    So how is NASA not a Ponzi scheme? Screwing people out of billions while providing nothing more than hypotheses? Oh, wait. They are powered by the government. They are free to squander money at will and give very shitty results.

  16. Lame on Fedora Aims To Simplify Linux Filesystem · · Score: 0

    I didn't know there was a problem. I have had zero issues with it so don't blame the OS for your inept ability to properly manage your files.

  17. Re:Walmart on US Virtual Border Fence Doesn't Work · · Score: 1

    ...and the donkey show is somewhere in between...

  18. Re:The Power of Google on GPhone Still In the Works At Google · · Score: 1

    ...probably not. but I am sure it will come with Google Earth which will show you the ever elusive GSpot and how perpetually far you are from it...of course...vibration mode wont work to this effect as it would eat up batteries trying to circumnavigate said GSpot continuously as you try to find it...

  19. huggies' bombs on Aerosol Spray to Identify Bombing Suspects · · Score: 1

    Every time you test for bombs Huggies kills a child.....please think about the children...... *ducks*

  20. Excuse me on Intel to Take Online Suggestions for New Chips · · Score: 1

    ..........would you like to take survey?

  21. marvell now limitless? on Intel Ditches Mobile Phone Processors · · Score: 1

    this potential deal could really cause a quake in the world of wireless (please throw red flags if i am wrong) hynix, infineon, and the like could really jump on board something this sweet and take advantage as Marvell would now have somewhat a threshold over the mobile environment (again, throw red flags if i am wrong). Micron was a suitor for hynix but it all fell through quite badly and infineon makes a pretty stout product. Samsung seems to integrate them well and the products come out top notch. Marvell could be onto something that may produce great products with the right integral partners. *waiting for verbal abuse*

  22. The Ad on OpenOffice.org Newspaper Ad Mockup Released · · Score: 3, Interesting

    The advertisement professes very little of the capabilities of which it can perform, moreso, the fact it provides indpendence from the Office Suites people pay money for usage. The fact the programs in Open Office are quite expansive and offer a very well integrated ability to best the products people "pay" to make their lives easier. I don't feel that the Mt. Rushmore with the ubiquitous yellow "...for idiots" color is beneficial in the developement of which they created. The programs are, and many would argue, easily to use for the purpose they provide. I helped a friend to use it and they were very grateful at the purpose the tools were developed. I like how you are able to take a break and load the spreadsheet; type in "=GAME("StarWars") and take a minute to smile at the few moments of gameplay before toiling again. I think the developers are worthy of Advertising what they have accomplished but wish they did it in a better way than something archaic...IMHO

  24. 3rd annual on 2006 Google U.S. Puzzle Championship is Open · · Score: 1

    the 3rd "annual" puzzle is now in force. please remember that "teh" and "pwn'd" are "funny" words and not "real" words when attempting this puzzle

  25. Networks on Court Backs Broadband Wiretap Access · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Don't private networks eventually connect with public networks anyway? *scratches head*
