  1. Re:website to roll on Katamari Hack For Chrome (and Compatible Browsers) · · Score: 1

    Thanks. You just broke my internet!

  2. Every website should have that option on Katamari Hack For Chrome (and Compatible Browsers) · · Score: 1

    I just rolled up this entire site!

    Great for getting rid of troll comments!

  3. Re:Yes I Do Want on Solar-Powered Augmented Reality Contact Lenses · · Score: 1

    I don't get it either.

    I don't like putting something on my eyes, that's why I wear glasses and not contact lenses. I would love to wear AR-enhanced glasses, but contact lenses?

    And wouldn't it be simpler to implement this technology into glasses (bigger surface) too?

  4. Breeding fanatics? on US Grants Home Schooling German Family Political Asylum · · Score: 1

    Homeschooling is like incest for knowledge!

    In a school, you're permanently confronted with other people and ideas, so you can develop your own view of the world by examining and choosing different subjects of knowledge.

    At home, your parents teach only what they know themselves and you'll teach the same knowledge to your children and so on. There will be no evolution.

  5. Re:I knew it! on Scientists To Breed the Auroch From Extinction · · Score: 2, Funny

    Jurassic Park? The aurochs went extinct in 1627, so it would be more like Medieval Park.

  6. Re:Just because you can ... on Scientists To Breed the Auroch From Extinction · · Score: 1

    "We do what we must, because we can."

  7. Re:prophecy on Programming With Proportional Fonts? · · Score: 1

    No! Not Helvetica! Don't they know the dangers of a possible Helvetica Scenario?

  8. Large Bread Collider on LHC Shut Down Again — By Baguette-Dropping Bird · · Score: 5, Funny

    Didn't anybody brief the pigeon? Perhaps it was a bird scientist?

  9. Re:BOFH on Cosmic Ray Intensity Reaches Highest Levels In 50 years · · Score: 3, Funny

    This amazon article's comments are nearly as good as the Tuscan Milk one's!

  10. ZuhauseKraftwerk? on Lichtblick and Volkswagen To Build 'Swarm' Power Plants · · Score: 1

    At least they use babelfish! I would translate HomePowerplant with 'HeimKraftwerk'.

  11. Re:Yet more links to IE on Firefox 3.5.1 Released · · Score: 1

    The thing with the IE security settings really bugs me. I have to use Opera to download at certain sites, because IE and FF won't allow it, whatever I set the settings to. To be completely independant of IE is one of the main reasons I use FF, why change that?

  12. Re:Ok, honest question here... on GPL Firmware For Canon 5D Mk II Adds Features For Filmmakers · · Score: 1

    I recently got a MOV file from a 5D Mark II, which played fine on a Macbook.

    I tried to play it on a Windows machine (I don't own a Mac) and I only got a "-2048" error that "QuickTime doesn't understand the file format". I tried installing every codec package I know of and used different players (Windows Media Player, Media Player Classic, VLC...). I did the whole thing on different PCs without success.

    On some forums I read that there are problems with playing HD QuickTime under Windows. Does anyone know a solution how I can play that file under Windows? Or at least how I can convert the file to something playable under Windows.

  13. Re:The web on AT&T Dropping Usenet Netnews; Low-Cost Alternatives? · · Score: 1

    I agree. I've been using that server for a few years now and it's great.

  14. Re:But What If ... on Microsoft Rebrands Live Search As "Bing" · · Score: 1

    There are languages in which "Bing" is slang for "prison".

  15. Re:language barrier? on Time For Voice-Mail To Throw In the Towel · · Score: 1

    Well, I'm one of these people living in a mud hut and when the pigeon carrier network is lagging or out of order, I like to use one of these fancy new "Internet" connections or use these magical "speaking sticks".

  16. language barrier? on Time For Voice-Mail To Throw In the Towel · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Voice-to-text is great if you speak English or another language spoken by at least 20 million people. If you're part of a minority, not so.

  17. Nothing from Vatican? on Highlights From the 2009 Google Summer of Code · · Score: 1

    Go, Luxembourg, go!

  18. BND involved? on German Wikileaks Suspension Not Related To Police Raid · · Score: 5, Interesting

    On November 5th and December 8th, Wikileaks leaked some BND information. On Devember 8th, the ISP ended the contract. Coincidence? I think not.

  19. Re:april fools? on Warner Bros. Acquires The Pirate Bay · · Score: 1

    Sure you can. You'll have an almost infinite amount of time to contemplate it ;)

  25. Re:The lowest point in the Netherlands on As Seas Rise, Maldives Seek To Buy a New Homeland · · Score: 4, Informative

    Build dams and dykes and stay safe.

    Ever tried building dams and dykes around 1190 small coral islands? Look at this picture of Malé, the capital: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Male-total.jpg Is it still worth living there with a 10 meeter dam around your city?
