  1. Who will search on Flu symptoms anyway? on Google Can Predict the Flu · · Score: 1

    Everybody knows influenza symptoms and we are bombarded with cold and flu remedies on TV. I cannot imagine that anyone will do searches on that.

  2. How much gas in the gas giants? on Titan Balloon Mission Being Drafted · · Score: 1

    Nevermind the tiny Titan. How much organics are there in Saturn, Uranus and Jupiter?

  3. Re:It's sad... on AVG Virus Scanner Removes Critical Windows File · · Score: 1

    ClamWin isn't too bad.

  4. Still alive == not poisoned on 40 Years Ago, the US Lost a Nuclear Bomb · · Score: 2, Insightful

    These are just people who are trying to rip some money off the 'system'. If they really were poisoned, then they would have died years ago. Callous yes, but a simple truth.

  5. John Hardin's Email Sanitizer on AVG Virus Scanner Removes Critical Windows File · · Score: 1
  6. Lighting is only 1% of electricity on Daylight Savings Time Increases Energy Use In Indiana · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Every year, the energy utilities report that they observed no difference in energy use when daylight savings time is changed. It really is time to stop this annoyance.

  7. Re:Open Source? on Ballmer "Interested" In Open Source Browser Engine · · Score: 1

    Uhh, regarding your sig: The Mafia controlled the Italian government for decades. The president of Italy, Andriotti, was the chief of the Mafia!

  8. Big-ass photo... on How To Cloak Objects At a Distance · · Score: 1, Troll

    So, in plain English, they take a big photo of the background, put it in front of the object and make the object disappear from view. How incredibly ingenious.

  9. Plays for sure... on New "MP3 100% Compatible" Logo For DRM-Free Music · · Score: 1

    I remember another catch phrase by some strange little company, that promised something similar.

  10. Re:Solar Power carbon-hostile? on Portable Solar Power For Portable Hardware? · · Score: 1

    A portable panel won't last decades. Something will break in a year or less rendering the whole thing useless. Chances are that it will break on your way to the first camp site so it will never get any use.

  11. Why? Public schools... on Finnish E-Voting System Loses 2% of Votes · · Score: 1

    There are not enough people that can count...

  12. Flu? on Reliable, Free Anti-Virus Software? · · Score: 1

    What are these virus things that everyone is talking about?

  13. Use a text browser on Browsing Frugally Without Wasting Bandwidth? · · Score: 1

    Obvious solution: http://links.sourceforge.net/

  14. Re:FREEOWW!!! on Microsoft to Issue Emergency Patch For File-Sharing Hole · · Score: 2, Funny

    "Any OS must be behind a firewal" - So do you put your firewall behind a firewall?

  15. Re:National Do Not Call Registry on New Gadget Blocks 'Spam' Phone Calls · · Score: 1

    It doesn't work cross border. All that is happening now, is Canadian telemarketers call US numbers and US telemarketers call Canada...

  16. Re:storage capacity boggles the mind on An In-Depth Look At Seagate's 1.5TB Barracuda · · Score: 1

    Grampaw? Is that you!???

  17. Promoting FOSS are they? on Microsoft Calls Today Global Anti-Piracy Day · · Score: 1

    Thanks MS for promoting Free software.

  18. Re:Vigilante Justice ala Slashdot Anyone? on Handling Caller ID Spoofing? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Here they are: http://www.digitcom.net/

  19. Defence Department on Bringing OSS Into a Closed Source Organization? · · Score: 1

    If it is good enough for the Department of Defence then it should be good enough for a any corporation. However, if IBM, Sun, SGI, Hewlett Packard, AOL and Dell are not good enough to convince your bosses, then I don't think anyone will.

  20. Waaah! USBFirewire Waaaah! on Users Rage Over Missing FireWire On New MacBooks · · Score: 1

    Now millions of Apple fans have to go and buy a Firewire to USB adaptor, poor little darlings... Sniff... Waaah...

  21. Re:Spontaneous existance of life on Old Materials Resurface For "Prebiotic Soup" · · Score: 1

    What makes you think it isn't happening? In geological time, things happen incredibly slowly. It took 4.5 billion years for us to get to this point. Now think about where do new illness causing organisms come from...

  22. 3rd rock on Nation-Wide Internet Censorship Proposed For Australia · · Score: 1

    It is Australia. They live down under. The whole 3rd rock is on top of them.

    Sich heil am neues Fuehrer...

  24. Ebay, Pirate Bay... on FBI Says Dark Market Sting Netted 56 Arrests · · Score: 4, Funny

    So, I take it Ebay and Pirate Bay are FBI stings too?

  25. It is pitch black... on Dead Space Wants To Scare You · · Score: 1

    ...you are in danger of being eaten by a grue.
