  1. Chicken or the Egg? on 100 Things We Didn't Know Last Year · · Score: 3, Funny

    We know the egg came first because it was the first to light up its cigarette and ask "how was it, baby?"

  2. uh oh trouble on Neuroscience, Psychology Eroding Idea of Free Will · · Score: 1

    "The British government, though, is seeking to change the law in order to lock up people with personality disorders that are thought to make them likely to commit crimes, before any crime is committed.'"

    Uh oh, I'm in trouble. I have personality disorders that mark me as anti-social and violent tendencies. I have them both under control, but should I start wearing my tinfoil hat again?

  3. Re:Some quick questions on linux software on Linux Desktops Catching On In Education · · Score: 1

    AMSN and Mercury Messenger both have a great deal of compatibility with MSN, including pictures and webcam stuff. Not that I ever recommend using MSN.

  4. bzzt on Students Put UCLA Taser Video On YouTube · · Score: 2, Funny

    Tagged "bzzzt" for over zealous use of tasers.

    Haha, those coppers sure love them tasers. Nothing like zapping a victim with 50 kilovolts of nerve incapacitating love.

  5. what? on Craigslist Fair Housing Act Suit Dismissed · · Score: 1

    You mean to say there's a law that actually protects websites and their ability to post whatever they desire? Maybe laws aren't just for lawyers after all.

  6. word plays on FCC Meets To Investigate Cookie Abuse · · Score: 1

    I can't stomach any more food related word plays.

    D'oh!

  7. typo on Death of the Cell Phone Keypad As We Know It? · · Score: 1

    You spelled txt'ng wrong....

    Fucking SMS.

    Also, wtf. Text-to-speech for text messaging? Does anyone else see how inane this is? IT'S A PHONE, JUST CALL THEM.

  8. Re:javascript on Best Method For Foiling Email Harvesters? · · Score: 1

    How mature of you.

  9. javascript on Best Method For Foiling Email Harvesters? · · Score: 1

    I use javascript and html encoded ASCII. The website my organization uses ( nonlogic.org ) is almost entirely php based with headers. So including the php header also includes the obfuscation script (which is only 1 line). To display an email addy we just do addy('name','domain') and that's that. Combined with gmail's filters and the fact I have a personal account for talking to humans, and a spam account that I use for anything requiring an email address to use, I never get a single piece of spam in my inbox. (And to my knowledge have never had any false positives).

  10. Agree on Is An Uninformed Vote Better Than No Vote? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I completely agree. An uniformed vote is far worse than no vote at all. The masses are easily swayed. Do you really want the people governing your nation to be picked via their ability to spread the most propaganda? Granted, that is more or less how things work now, but uninformed votes only worsen the situation.

  11. eh? on 64-Bit Vista Kernel Will Be a "Black Box" · · Score: 1

    Security through obscurity? I think not.

  12. getacoder on RentACoder Losing Street Cred? · · Score: 1

    I (and friends of mine at http://nonlogic.org/ ) use getacoder.com for various projects. The fees are pretty outrageous. We find it easier to make initial contacts via getacoder and then conduct further business outside of the site.

  13. sounds nice, but on USB To Go Wireless · · Score: 1

    Half the reason I like USB (and I think this is true for many others) is that it is also a power source. Without wireless power, won't we be plagued with forever-dying batteries or continuing ratnests of power cables? Or did I miss somethign?

  14. I know this is wrong.. on French Scientists Link Higher BMI with Lower IQ · · Score: 1

    HAHA stupid fatasses.

    Sorry... I'm a jaded skinny guy.

  15. Re:LMFAO: H + O + H = H2O on Irish Company Claims Free Energy · · Score: 1

    Oxygen and hydrogen are both diatomic.

    Let me spell that out for you: they occur in molecules of two. O2, H2

    Seems like you're the one that dropped out of school early.

  16. Re:OT: your sig on Who Benefits from Spam, Anyway? · · Score: 1

    can't... take... the nerd... overload....

    gahh!

  17. Re:Our government's response to the terrorism prob on Charter Flight Websites / Services? · · Score: 1

    What about domestic terrorists? What if we find a group of (Ameircan born) terrorists have a base of operations in say, Austin, Texas. Should we carpet bomb that city?

    I partially agree with you, invasion is a bad idea, but you go a wee bit too far. Sending in a few reconasaince teams to dig out the most likely spots for terrorist strong holds then smart bombing the area -- after giving fair warning so that civilians may leave -- seems a less horrific and more justified response. Also, we should offer the host country to round up the terrorists before we go in guns blazing.

  18. has to be said on Bittorrent Implements Cache Discovery Protocol · · Score: 1

    Yeah, finally, a way to keep the tubes from getting over filled.
