  1. OMG! on Warming a Tiny Piece of Mars For Terraforming · · Score: 1

    Won't this hinder the war on terra?

  2. Re:I hate cookies on FCC Meets To Investigate Cookie Abuse · · Score: 1

    Why in the name of Linux

    I knew it would become a religion eventually!

    ...just not so soon.

  3. Re:Any place to buy the MOBO with lb pre-installed on Google Sponsors the LinuxBIOS project · · Score: 1

    It's a little disconcerting that directly next to the product page of

    Artec Design Group run LinuxBIOS on their DBE61 system.

    You find Microsoft Windows Embedded Partner

  4. Re:Loss on Physicists Promise Wireless Power · · Score: 1

    The parent has been modded funny but I'll wager this is outright insightful.

    Change the frequency - change the function.

    Keep the frequency - install tiny motors.

  5. Re:what real news? .. on Corporate Propaganda Still On the News · · Score: 1

    *Waves finger*

    Paul is that you?

  6. FUD Anyone? on Security From A To Z · · Score: 2, Insightful

    FTA

    Be afraid. Threats to corporate security are everywhere. Just when you thought your network was safe from hackers, along came wi-fi - or your iPod-wielding workforce - and opened a whole new can of worms.


    Security is by its nature ever-evolving. Just as one threat is apparently locked down, another springs up to take its place - or an old one rears its head in a new form. Grappling with this malicious hydra it's no wonder the security space spawns new terms and phrases at a rate of knots - and you're supposed to keep up with them all.

    I'm guessing the average reader will either be a) a techy who'll read it for kicks or b) joe shmoe who is duped (read FUD) into buying it.

  7. Re:Repair on Global Warming Debunker Debunked · · Score: 1

    Would it be possible to condense that supposed stock pile of carbon and make diamonds? Stock pile them sort of like DeBeers.

    Liberal Democrat or Republican?

  9. Repair on Global Warming Debunker Debunked · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Now, I'm not a 'professional' scientist however I do take interest in such matters, I was wondering if anyone has any information on what it would realistically take to begin to reverse the damage.

    How do we make any significant progress to undo what we have already done?

  10. Jaguar on The 10 Lamest Game Consoles Ever · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I don't know if I would call the Jaguar lame. It was certainly unsuccessful however I remember going over my friends house to play it and it was pretty awesome as far as I remember.

    On the other hand the NGage was a certifiable steaming pile of failure both financially and from a user's perspective.

  11. Re:Keywords: Government. Health Care. Disaster on Biggest IT Disaster Ever? · · Score: 1

    Government. Health Care. Disaster
    Those three words...

    Isn't that four words?

  12. Re:I've got an idea on iPod Seat-Back Video Coming To Flights · · Score: 1

    This leads to subjective estimates on what is appropriate until all thats left are Disney Movies.

  13. Re:Short List on The Moon's Magnetic Umbrellas · · Score: 1

    Maniacal dictators who for some reason want to use their newest Deus Ex Machina on Earth ...

    So the dictators are going to lower actors on stage with cranes? What's wrong with a little resolution?

  14. Re:Get Informed on Is An Uninformed Vote Better Than No Vote? · · Score: 1

    Get informed.

    This is too easy not to do.

    Problem solved.

    Wait, I know this one.

    Never rub another man's rhubarb?

  16. Re:Yerp. Figure it Out, Already. on Game Breakers · · Score: 1

    Or, you could stop to actually read my comment and realize I said 'old school game' and was, in fact, not referencing the PS2 as 'old school'.

    Is it too much to ask you actually read what I type before you flame?

  17. Re:The Steps on How To Be A Real Game Journalist · · Score: 1

    Step 1: Spend many years of your life perfecting your writing skills.
    Step 2: With a lot of work and a little luck find a job.

    Tim Berners-Lee: Porn this is all for you! A better, stronger you!

    Porn: Thank you Tim, you may thoroughly enjoy me now.

  20. Re:Yerp. Figure it Out, Already. on Game Breakers · · Score: 1

    If you'd like to check out an old school game with great story line and cinematics try Legend of Dragoon for the PS2. To this day it is still on of my favorite games.

  21. Re:sined, sealed and delivered on Surprises in Microsoft Vista's EULA · · Score: 1

    I RTFA and quite frankly I'm amazed at the strong arm tactics MS is resorting to. (Yes I know, "How could you be amazed," I'm just now an anti MS zealot... at least I wasn't before I read the Vista EULA)

    I'm guessing MS is trying to maintain their market share.

    *Sigh* In the meantime I'll be installing Ubuntu. I held out on installing Linux as long as I could.

  22. Are they worth the money? on Alienware Ordering Phantom Lapboards · · Score: 1

    No one will know for sure since only shills get to review Alienware products.

  23. Re:Does resolution matter? on Wii Confirmed at 480p · · Score: 2, Informative

    You are correct sir. The Wii will support widescreen at 480p.

    I have unwittingly spewed FUD and must apologize.

  24. Re:Does resolution matter? on Wii Confirmed at 480p · · Score: 1

    Sadly this means no wide screen.

    I so wanted to play Zelda in widescreen. I'm not quite as excited about the WII anymore.

    I do believe you've answered your own question.

    Typical guy response? Yes. Any less true? Nope.
