  1. Re:300 Million Year Old Insects Pictured In 3D on 300 Million Year Old Insects Pictured In 3D · · Score: 1

    You mean you weren't turned on by that?

  2. Re:Even better on Lab-Grown Leather Could Be a Reality In 5 Years · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't surprise me. Then the labs will artificially crease it to make it look real.

    Makes me think of the die-hards who still prefer the familiar crack-and-pop of vinyl records over digital audio.

  3. Re:Educating a self-deceiving non-vegetarian ex on Lab-Grown Leather Could Be a Reality In 5 Years · · Score: 1

    Well, I had to when she started having moral qualms about the fact that I hunt. I let her ride her high horse till then. =)

  4. Re:Even better on Lab-Grown Leather Could Be a Reality In 5 Years · · Score: 1

    Or even just leather without physical imperfections, creases, etc.

  5. Re:And much more expensive than real or fake on Lab-Grown Leather Could Be a Reality In 5 Years · · Score: 2

    my old vegan roommate, who every once in a while had to have bacon, but otherwise was faithful to being a vegan

    My ex wife would do the same thing. Declared herself a vegetarian but was still a closet meat-eater from time to time when nobody was watching. Had to break the news to her that she was in fact not a vegetarian.

  6. Personally... on Milky Way Is Surrounded By Halo of Hot Gas · · Score: 1

    ...I think you guys just like saying the word "baryon".

  7. Re:Vegetarians? on 180k-Year-Old Mutation Allowed Humans To Become Vegetarians, Move Out of Africa · · Score: 1

    Vegetarianism implies that a person has made an explicit choice not to eat meat. I would imagine that the majority of people in "third world" countries who cannot afford the luxury of meat would still eat it, if they could.

  8. Re:Wow! Common bug reports get front-page stories! on Stubborn Intel Graphics Bug Haunts Ubuntu 12.04 · · Score: 1

    Distrowatch is not an accurate way to gauge how widely-used an OS it. It just gauges how many people give it attention on Distrowatch.

  9. Re:Hunger hurts more on Stubborn Intel Graphics Bug Haunts Ubuntu 12.04 · · Score: 1

    Some of us are more enlightened than others...

    I see what you did there.

  10. Re:What they are actually reporting an Issue. on Stubborn Intel Graphics Bug Haunts Ubuntu 12.04 · · Score: 1

    Cause we aren't all vulgar assholes?

    Quote of the day. :)

  11. Familiar Lyric on New Hobbit Trailer Debuts · · Score: 1

    From the end of the trailer, "Home is now behind you. The world is ahead."

    That is very similar to the lyric of the song that Pippin sang to Denethor during Jackson's rendition of "Return of the King."

  12. Re:Most important question on Sony Announces 'Superslim' PS3 · · Score: 1

    I think you're reaching a bit with that one...

  13. Re:"a number of user interface designers" on Designers Criticize Apple's User Interface For OS X and iOS · · Score: 1

    The search feature is not the same thing as a command line.

  14. Re:"a number of user interface designers" on Designers Criticize Apple's User Interface For OS X and iOS · · Score: 1

    On top of that, whatever items you "pin" to the top portion of the Start Menu remain static and in the order you specify.

  15. Re:"a number of user interface designers" on Designers Criticize Apple's User Interface For OS X and iOS · · Score: 1

    Typing "cont" into the search was enough to bring it to the top of the list for me.

  16. Designers criticize [noun]. on Designers Criticize Apple's User Interface For OS X and iOS · · Score: 1

    News at 11.

  17. Re:That this is patenteable AT ALL on Microsoft Patents Whacking Your Phone To Silence It · · Score: 1

    Yeah, shit be WHACK

  18. Re:The stupid Muslim shits on YouTube Refuses To Remove Anti-Islamic Film Clip · · Score: 1

    It also caused my antimalware software to throw up red flags, so beware.

  19. Just Google? on YouTube Refuses To Remove Anti-Islamic Film Clip · · Score: 1

    The only reason that Google is in the spotlight for this is because YouTube (their property) has become such a synonymous name with web-based video. They're huge, but it is not the only place one could stream such a video. What about the other thousands of embedded-video services out there?

  20. In pieces on Black Mesa Released · · Score: 5, Funny

    The initial release only includes the story up until Xen, but the developers say they'll be adding the rest of the story, along with an online multiplayer Deathmatch mode, soon.

    More episodic releases in the Half Life universe? NOOOOO!!!

  21. Re:Will it survive UV breakdown? on Injured Bald Eagle Gets New 3-D Printed Beak · · Score: 1

    Yeah, it was pretty easy to see through the BS on that one...

  22. Re:3D printing the new bitcoin? on Injured Bald Eagle Gets New 3-D Printed Beak · · Score: 1

    Screw that, I want to hear more about Apple and Samsung fighting like two kids in the back seat.

  23. Re:animal prosthetics on Injured Bald Eagle Gets New 3-D Printed Beak · · Score: 2

    He probably accused you of being a quack.

  24. Re:Will it survive UV breakdown? on Injured Bald Eagle Gets New 3-D Printed Beak · · Score: 2

    In any case, fish will probably taste better than hand-feeding it with the flesh of Anonymous Cowards.

    But far less satisfying...

  25. Re:..and here we go on Amateur Astronomers Spot Jovian Blast · · Score: 1

    Except that they don't actually land and instead start emitting whale calls...
