  1. turn it off on Robot Love Goes Bad · · Score: 3, Funny

    Yea, but unlike that ex-girlfriend, I was now allowed to turn her off. You can kill a robot, you can't kill an annoying girlfriend.

  2. Re:Pff this is ridiculous on Illinois Declares Pluto a Planet · · Score: 5, Insightful

    This just proves that fact that politicians are freaking idiots.

  3. Or Maybe... on The Real Reason For Microsoft's TomTom Lawsuit · · Score: -1, Troll

    Or maybe they are just trying to protect their intellectual property so they don't get scammed and have to fire employees for lost revenue.

  4. Re:Out of Date on The Best Way Through the Great Firewall of China · · Score: 2, Informative

    Also, one of the "downsides" they fail to report is the fact that if you get caught you'll go missing and end up as an organ doner.

  5. Re:null or not null, that is the question on Null References, the Billion Dollar Mistake · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Please understand there is a difference between a null pointer and a null reference. The difference is very important in C++.

  6. Re:Unheard? on Are Windows 7 Testers Going Unheard? · · Score: 0

    In my experience with software testers, they just want to be heard and feel like they are contributing. If you don't respond to their every finding they will go up the chain of command and tell people they are being ignored.

  7. Not to be confused on New Medical Disorder Linked To Gaming · · Score: 5, Funny

    Not to be confused with "MasturBation palmar hidradenitis"

  8. Re:Nothing new on Google Joins EU Antitrust Case Against Microsoft · · Score: 0, Troll

    My faith in Google just dropped significantly.

  9. Re:Interesting. on Crocodiles With Frickin' Magnets Attached to Their Heads · · Score: 5, Funny

    Great, now not only can crocodiles kill YOU, now they can kill your hard drive too!

    2. be less than 800 pounds

  11. Re:EU Created Triangular Trade on EU Says MS Must Offer Other Browsers; Now What? · · Score: 0

    I think the US government needs to show support for Microsoft, being a US company. It's completely stupid to require a company to offer other peoples products when selling their own products. The US government can't let the EU bully it's companies.

  12. Re:Miscarriage? on The Art of The Farewell Email · · Score: 0

    yea there's a big difference between losing a fetus and losing a child.

  13. Re:One thing you may want to do on The Art of The Farewell Email · · Score: 1

    pay cuts over layoffs? no thanks! All that would do is create a bunch of pissed off employees. Ok so my pay goes down so you can keep these 4 worthless guys. I'm going to only do half the work I did before. Also, you'll have a bunch of people spending more time on dice and monster than doing their work. That's probably the worst thing you can do.

  14. Re:Sometimes the simplest statement is the best on The Art of The Farewell Email · · Score: -1

    how about, "Screw you guys! I'm going home."

  15. oh god no on Should Obama Give Stimulus To Open Source? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    That's like an ANTI-Stimulus to us software developers trying to make a living.

  16. bad on How Do You Document Technical Procedures? · · Score: 5, Funny

    Documenting technical procedures is bad for job security.

  17. Re:Rocket science? on Arctic Ice Extent Understated Because of "Sensor Drift" · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Is it just me or are the global warming doom prophets as bad as the christian doom prophets? The world is going to end next year, it will be 1000 degree. Next year it ends up being colder than ever. Oh well, there was a slight miscalculation, it will be NEXT year now.

  18. Re:This is just a stupid arrangement on Inside Factory China · · Score: 0, Troll

    but if we stopped trading with them, where would we get our american flags to wave around and show our patriotism?

  19. Re:next iPhone on Inside Factory China · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    made out of lead and mercury

  20. Re:China's economy is going to retool itself.. on Inside Factory China · · Score: 2, Insightful

    you forgot that Japan also is famous for exporting smut videos of hot girls eating bugs and other disgusting things.

  21. more than this? on Beginning Portable Shell Scripting · · Score: 3, Interesting
  22. Re:To hell with them! on Author's Guild Says Kindle's Text-To-Speech Software Illegal · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I can only imagine what impact this has on the world of 508 software, which is used to read stuff to the blind. I guess the author's guild don't give a rats ass about blind people.

  23. Re:Go for it on China Aims To Move Up the Food Chain · · Score: 2, Funny

    you mean safe like loaded with high fructose corn syrup or aspartame?
