  1. Tit for tat on German Customs Agents Raid Another Trade Show · · Score: 2, Interesting

    It'll be interesting to hear the howls when German businessmen start getting detained in Taipei and Shanghai. I have some news, the jails in Asia are not places where you want to spend any time.

  2. NASA's distro? on Computer Virus Aboard the ISS · · Score: 1

    What happened to Flight Linux?

  3. They'll never starve! on Carbon-Neutral Ziggurat Could House 1.1 Million In Dubai · · Score: 1

    Because of all the sand which is there.

  4. Judge Harvey and the rich drug smuggler on NZ Judge Bans Online Publishing of Accuseds' Names · · Score: 1
  5. Lack of infrastructure on Bringing Cell Phones To the Third World · · Score: 5, Interesting

    The introduction of cheap cell phones kills any incentive for the government to push any landlines (or upgrade those already existing) outside of the main cities. Without landlines, there's no internet. A good example is is Bali, Indonesia. Bali is one of the most advanced (and richest areas of Indonesia) and yet in many areas just 3 miles outside of the main cities there are no landlines and no internet. There's also very, very spotty cell coverage. If say, you have a small guesthouse or crafts company, there's no way you can advertise or communicate with your customers.

  6. Re:Meanwhile, 3 hours by car away... on Seattle Flushes $5M High-Tech Toilets · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Where what were once vices are now virtues.

    He sounds like Second Lieutenant Jake Jenson. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TRVy2IcUFL0

  8. It's not a bug! on Apple Can Remotely Disable iPhone Apps · · Score: 0, Redundant

    It's a feature.

  9. They should be insanely grateful on Apple Sued For Turning Workers Into Slaves · · Score: 2, Funny

    For the experience!

  10. It *is* Linux on No Linux IdeaPad For Lenovo's US Customers · · Score: 5, Informative

    The Linpus distro has been around for more than 10 years. I ran it when I was in Taiwan. You can get the install dvd or live cd here: ftp://ftp.linpus.com/dists/LL96/iso/

  11. Eleanor Cameron! on Sci-Fi Books For Pre-Teens? · · Score: 1

    The Wonderful Flight to the Mushroom Planet and sequels.

  12. Re:The language of engineers on Learn a Foreign Language As an Engineer? · · Score: 1

    If I want to curse while beating the crap out of my dog, I'll learn German.

  13. Re:A Dutch doctor and a violin maker from Arkansas on Wood Density May Explain Stradivarius Secret · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Walked into a bar in Nantucket.....

  14. Re:EU requests private US citizen data on US To Get EU Private Citizen Data · · Score: 1

    So when is the EU finally going to request fingerprints and private data from US travelers?

    Maybe when a group of terrorists operating out of Hamburg, Minnesota hijack several European passenger airliners and crash them into the Eiffel Tower and Buckingham Palace?

  15. Gay marriage won't be a problem in the future on Where To Draw the Line With Embryo Selection? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I imagine gay embryos will be the first in the trash can. In a generation or two, gays will be seen only in old movies or tv sitcoms like "Three's Company".

  16. Re:The Jews will be all over this on France's Citizens Expected to Help Build Internet Blacklist · · Score: 1

    Won't matter too much......the Jews are already being driven out of France.

  17. In the future, after all the tears on France's Citizens Expected to Help Build Internet Blacklist · · Score: 1

    I wonder how many French will claim they weren't collaborators but were in the Resistance all along.......just like in 1944.

  18. Too bad on AP Targets Blog Excerpts With DMCA Notices · · Score: 1

    The AP is so reluctant to take down the fake photos they so often publish.

  19. Re:stupid, confusing war on terror... on SCOTUS Grants Guantanamo Prisoners Habeas Corpus · · Score: 1

    And were the British government treat the IRA as POWs under the Geneva Conventions? Give me a break. And FYI, Americans both in and out of uniform tended to be executed after capture by British forces during the American Revolution. Read up on Banastre Tarleton's ooperations in South Carolina.

  20. Re:stupid, confusing war on terror... on SCOTUS Grants Guantanamo Prisoners Habeas Corpus · · Score: 1

    How many of them were wearing uniforms?

  21. Yawn on 35 Articles of Impeachment Introduced Against Bush · · Score: -1, Flamebait
