  2. Also need a Gecko tongue on Gecko-Inspired Dry Adhesive Set For Space · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The next innovation required would be Gecko tongue to clean the dirty feet, else it won't go far.

  3. Re:april fools on Conficker Downloads Payload · · Score: 1

    We should start a project on Source Forge for next April. A world wide down counting program that when it reaches zero beep loudly, would be cool. Imagine a world wide beep, hundreds of millions of Windows PCs crying out in agony at the same time.

  4. Makes buggerall difference anyway on CFLs Causing Utility Woes · · Score: 1

    Lighting only accounts for about 1% of electricity use and most of that is already efficient bulbs - street lights are mercury vapour lamps and all large buildings use fluorescent bulbs already. So, even if all households switch all bulbs to CFLs, the utilities won't be able to see a measurable difference in energy consumption.

    The vast bulk of electricity is used by foundries, glass and aluminium smelters, after that comes the rest of industry and way last on the list is home users.

  5. It is the torpedos and depth charges more likely on Powerful Sonar Causes Deafness In Dolphins · · Score: 1

    Sonar isn't nearly as loud as a torpedo or depth charge exploding under water.

  6. Re:XP Sucks, Vista is Better on Microsoft Ending Mainstream Support For XP · · Score: 0

    Vista is just XP service pack 3 anyway.

    These ridiculous jokes is getting old now.

  8. It is 69 cents alright on Apple Shifts iTunes Pricing; $0.69 Tracks MIA · · Score: 1

    ...but only for very high values of 69.

  9. Re:Twitteriffic! on Organized Online, Students Storm Gov't. Buildings In Moldova · · Score: 1

    I tink I taw a puddy cat!

  10. Re:Bah on Beware the Perils of Caffeine Withdrawal · · Score: 1

    "Anyone? Class? Anyone?" There, fixed it for you. ;)

  11. My 22 pence worth on AP Says "Share Your Revenue, Or Face Lawsuits" · · Score: 4, Funny

    My website generates about 44 cents in Google revenue per day. The newspapers of the world are in for a surprise.

  12. Nothing easier than Citadel on Internal Instant Messaging Client / Server Combo? · · Score: 1

    Citadel can do IM and whole lot more and it only takes about 20 minutes to set up using the Easy Install script. Once up, it will keep running with zero maintenance. It is definitely the lazy man's groupware system and it can handle tens of thousands of users per server.

  13. Continuous paper into the basement on EU Data-Retention Laws Stricter Than Many People Realized · · Score: 1

    Bring back the log printers. Write the logs to continuous paper and let it spool down the garbage chute into the coal basement. If the police wants to see the logs, send them to the basement.

  14. Patriot Act on New CyberSecurity Bill Raises Privacy Questions · · Score: 1

    This sounds like a subset of what he can do already under the Patriot Act.

  15. Re:Thanks Obama! on Verizon Promises 4G Wireless For Rural America · · Score: 1

    Don't worry, because of the incredible rate at which Washington is printing money, inflation will soon wipe out any perceived riches.

  16. How did they rule out smell? on Baby Chicks Have Innate Mathematical Skills · · Score: 1

    Occam's Razor - Simple explanation: More containers stink more of chicken poop.

  17. Re:Too late on FileFront Reopens Its Doors · · Score: 1

    Funny, I have never even heard of File Front, until now!

  18. 20% minus 10% is what? on Australian Study Says Web Surfing Boosts Office Productivity · · Score: 2, Insightful

    By his match the productivity gain doesn't outweigh the loss.

  19. Re:Angry Mob Wins? on Angry Villagers Run Google Out of Town · · Score: 2, Interesting

    The difference is that all those 'other' cameras don't actually work, since they are neither maintained, nor recorded, or watched by anyone.

  20. Re:Breaking no laws? Maybe yes, maybe no. on Angry Villagers Run Google Out of Town · · Score: 1

    ...plus, English law is very different from American law. "Your freedom ends where someone else's nose begins" is an old English concept.

  21. Hope it is faster than real time on What Would It Look Like To Fall Into a Black Hole? · · Score: 1

    Considering that a black hole is more massive than the sun, then it will take longer to fall into the black hole than for the earth to fall into the sun and the sun will go nova before the simulation ends...

  22. No way on Google Reveals "Secret" Server Designs · · Score: 1, Redundant

    Greater than 99.9% efficiency? They likely made a mistake in their measurements.

  23. Robots do not puch people on Honda Develops Brain Interface For Robot Control · · Score: 1

    What kind of shitty netbook do you have??? Video runs purrrfectly on my original Eee PC 701 (Mandriva Linux 2008). I don't think there is anything slower than that one.
