  1. Re:Not entirely on Iran Blocks 'Illegal' VPNs, Google, and Yahoo · · Score: 0

    Yup, the only way to fix a religious dictatorship is to nuke the whole country. While there is a single stone left that hasn't been pulverized the whole mess will just re-invent itself again.

  2. Re:Meh on Seattle Bar Owner Bans Google Glass, In Advance · · Score: 1

    "just so they could listen to your voicemail over and over" Wow, what you got on your voicemail??? Care to post the number for the rest of us?

  3. Re:Yep, backup/snapshot before mucking with produc on Massive Email Crash Hits Canadian ISP Shaw · · Score: 1

    You don't even need a secondary. If your SMTP server goes off-line, the senders should retry for up to 4 hours. So you can quite literally unplug a mail server, do what you got to do within 4 hours, plug it back in and no mail wil be lost.

  4. Get ISBNs free from Library of Congress on U.S. ISBN Monopoly Denies Threat From Digital Self-Publishing · · Score: 1

    Laak ah sed. Yo ain't need no pay nobody foh ISBNs bro.

  5. Re:Bacon claim unsupported! News at 11! on If Video Games Make People Violent, So Do Pictures of Snakes · · Score: 1

    Maybe he was referring to crispy snake bacon - you know, like horse beef burgers. It is guaranteed to make anybody violent.

  6. Re:So you don't waste your time... on Defense Dept. Directed To Disclose Domestic Drone Use · · Score: 1

    Patriot act. The USA is still in a limited state of emergency.

  7. Re:Three Cheers on Canadian Newspaper Charging $150 License Fee To Publish Excerpts · · Score: 1

    Ghostery is better.

  8. Re:Sloppy DRM on Canadian Newspaper Charging $150 License Fee To Publish Excerpts · · Score: 1

    You mean "one swell foop". There, fixed it for ya, eh.

  9. Nobody will ever pay for that on Canadian Newspaper Charging $150 License Fee To Publish Excerpts · · Score: 1

    It must have cost them quite a few loonies to change their web site for that. Money down the tubes really, since no-one in their right mind will ever pay for it.

  10. Rain, rivers... on Ancient Flood Channels Cut Deep Into Mars · · Score: 1

    Mars looks like any earthly desert.

  11. Re:500GB in a few hours? on Boeing 787s To Create Half a Terabyte of Data Per Flight · · Score: 1

    160GB/month? Geez, I think you need treatment for your pr0n addiction...

  12. Re:Makes me wonder... on Boeing 787s To Create Half a Terabyte of Data Per Flight · · Score: 1

    Hmm, can a common user fill up the tmpfs of /run and cause the whole system to grind to a halt?

  13. Re:Much less data than you think on Boeing 787s To Create Half a Terabyte of Data Per Flight · · Score: 1

    Man, you made me snort my coffee and it was bloody hot. I don't think I'll ever have a cold or a sniffle again...

  14. Re:Internet connected on Boeing 787s To Create Half a Terabyte of Data Per Flight · · Score: 1

    Yeah, with big direction arrows on the headers.

  15. Bonus time for the top management on Microsoft Fined €561 Million For Non-compliance With EU Browser Settlement · · Score: 1

    In keeping with the good international banking traditions, the top management of MS will now all get fat bonuses.

  16. When you have done nothing wrong... on Google Releases Data On FBI Spying · · Score: 2

    When you have done nothing wrong, you have your good reputation to worry about...

  17. Krikit on Possible Baby Picture of a Giant Planet · · Score: 1

    It must be Krikit with the dust cloud of HAL...

  18. Re:Need some advance planning on Neil deGrasse Tyson On How To Stop a Meteor Hitting the Earth · · Score: 1

    Yup, a good squirt with super glue or chewing gum and then you can mount a few big ass engines on it and cycle them on and off as the thing rotates.

  19. Re:Gravity is a poor tractor beam on Neil deGrasse Tyson On How To Stop a Meteor Hitting the Earth · · Score: 1

    Little pieces of meteors will burn up in the atmosphere. If it is at all possible to break it up into a cloud of very small pieces, then that would also solve the problem.

  20. Re:Sorry, little retro rockets won't work for that on Neil deGrasse Tyson On How To Stop a Meteor Hitting the Earth · · Score: 1

    The trouble is that an asteroid is always tumbling, so one would need multiple rockets on the surface of the thing that fire in sequence in order to get periodical thrust in a useful direction, but that can be done and would probably be a lot better than a weak gravity tug.

  21. Re:Sorry, little retro rockets won't work for that on Neil deGrasse Tyson On How To Stop a Meteor Hitting the Earth · · Score: 1

    Yup, we just got to reverse the polarity of the forward deflector array.

  22. Sorry, little retro rockets won't work for that on Neil deGrasse Tyson On How To Stop a Meteor Hitting the Earth · · Score: 0

    The blast from the little retro rockets hitting the much larger asteroid, will cancel the whole thing out - every action having an equal and opposite reaction and all that pesky old Newtonian conservation of momentum stuff...

  23. Re:"Big Data" on With 'Obamacare' Kicking In, Microsoft Sees a Health-Data Windfall · · Score: 3, Funny

    "grammar/spelling pendant" must be a new jewellery fashion statement.

  24. Re:"Big Data" on With 'Obamacare' Kicking In, Microsoft Sees a Health-Data Windfall · · Score: 1

    "by whether by"

  25. They are not evading any laws on 'Download This Gun' — 3-D Printed Gun Reliable Up To 600 Rounds · · Score: 4, Informative

    They are simply doing what the law allows them to do. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that.
