  1. Re:How about... on School District Drops 'D' Grades · · Score: 1

    I think we should just make the existing grades go up to "11"

  2. Re:Put it next to the biplane in the garage... on Last Roll of Kodachrome Processed · · Score: 1

    If the difference is that striking, then why is there so small a market for developing the film? Truth is 98% of of photos taken only have to have enough resolution to allow a lolcat macro. People are blind, I can't believe it's not butter eating philistines.

  3. Fractals on Tattoos For the Math and Science Geek? · · Score: 1

    Lines of equations and code and whatnot are cool, but fractals are where it's at. I imagine it'd be fairly involved as far as detail goes, but people have done it. It's about as visually appealing as mathematics gets.

  4. Re:Maryland already has this on Arizona Trialing System That Lets Utility System Control Home A/Cs · · Score: 4, Funny

    You realize that if they wrest control of our thermostat from us we'll just start leaving the freezer door open right?

  5. Re:Maryland already has this on Arizona Trialing System That Lets Utility System Control Home A/Cs · · Score: 1

    Speaking as a desert rat, comparing the AC needs of Maryland and Arizona is like comparing the electrical usage of an Amish community to LA. Not that your point isn't valid, but I'm sitting in the dark and it's well over 80 degrees in here.

  6. Re:The difference on Family Has Right of Privacy In Decapitation Photos · · Score: 1

    Ok I know we said this when with the whole terrorist scare, but when we start second guessing behavior based on what 4chan might or might not do, all is truly lost.

  7. Re: Your brains on Family Has Right of Privacy In Decapitation Photos · · Score: 1

    Mr. Zapruder and I feel that this is a dangerous sentiment.

  8. Your mid-thread comedy break on Company Invents Electronic Underpants · · Score: 1

    Open source? isn't the whole problem that the source is too open as it is? Wait... the source of what? I really feel like an incurable layman and outsider when people say things like: "we've electrified underpants, but only for when there's moisture." and finally, wouldn't a better invention be a use for incontinent elderly folks? Ok, I've had my fun, you may return to the matter at hand.

  9. Re:Well, Yes on The Movie Studios' Big 3D Scam · · Score: 1

    What if you were remaking the story 'Flatworld'? Maybe we just haven't started thinking about stories that occupy the extra dimensions. Also, as the Piranha 3d trailer pointed out, albeit somewhat clumsily: we have the power to make 3d breasts. Seriously. Inverse nippomatics.

  10. Re:Sound barrier on Skydiver To Break Sound Barrier During Free-Fall · · Score: 1

    not as much as if he breaks that ground barrier *padumpsshhh*

  11. Re:"Beck didn't see the humour" on Glenn Beck Loses Dispute Over Parody Domain · · Score: 1

    Glenn Beck freaked out at a behavior in others that could be called his trademark style. Unless he's upset that they're moving in on his action, that's irony. I laughed just reading the summary, who made you the arbiter of funny?

  12. Odd confluence on Caves of the Moon · · Score: 1

    So last week it was "We're bombing the moon!" and this week it's "there's a big hole in the moon!"? hmmm

  13. Re:Actually... on Did Chicago Lose Olympic Bid Due To US Passport Control? · · Score: 1

    Actually... it's not clear that it would be profitable at all http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Do_cities_lose_money_hosting_the_Olympics You could also check out Democracy Now, they talked about it a little. As for more substantial citations, well that's for you to research - as I am a very lazy devil's advocate.

  14. Re:Only on paper on Incandescent Bulbs Return To the Cutting Edge · · Score: 1

    Sure, but then what corporate abuse can you not justify with the above argument? Slave wages? Rampant pollution? Heroin? Just because someone, somewhere might do things differently is no reason to abandon all attempts to reign in our emissions.

  15. Re:Forget the pretty colors ... on The Chemistry of Firework Displays · · Score: 1

    OOooh... Sorry sir, that'd be me, we'll take our mortars and shuffle off your lawn now. (C'mon you have 364 days out of the year where I'm not blowing up your neighborhood.)

  16. Re:Why the hell are we still using sonar? on US Supreme Court Allows Sonar Use · · Score: 1

    your plan is to replace deaf whales with blind ones? Couldn't we do something that messed up their sense of smell instead?

  17. Re:A sailor chimes in.. on US Supreme Court Allows Sonar Use · · Score: 1

    WHALE!!! ... ...Game On!

  18. Re:OK... on Space Litter To Hit Earth Tomorrow · · Score: 1

    staying inside what, pray tell? From what I've read about the only place not a potential target is the station that dumped it.

  19. Re:Peace on LittleBigPlanet Delayed Due To Qur'an-Sampling Audio · · Score: 1

    So the New Testament negates the old testament? We can forget all that hateful crap about stoning children and subjugating women? Your idiotic rhetorical question goes both ways, for example: "Have you ever met a non-homophobe Christian?" Of course the answer to my question and yours is Absolutely, but they're in opposition to thier faith.

    Don't be using one religion to validate or piss on another, they're all garbage.
    (BTW, even discussing other religions is a death by stoning offense according to the OT*)

    (Not the OT where Han shoots first, the other OT)

  20. Re: sick of all of this on Jack Thompson Disbarred · · Score: 1

    The unfortunate side-effect of free speach is every once and a while you're going to have to see something you don't approve of. Either counter the argument, as you've sort of done here, or move on, but don't expect the world to bend to your demands just because you're offended. This is America, and you can't go around silencing people just because you think they're mean.

  21. Re:Not News and News on LHC Shut Down By Transformer Malfunction · · Score: 2, Insightful

    But without sensationalism and misrepresentation, what would we have to wring our hands over???

    You want some really interesting discussion, hunt down gorilla199's youtube account. "Satan's stargate"... now THAT's entertainm...I mean information. ROFL...

  22. Raving on 3M Launches First Pocket Projector · · Score: 1

    When these replace glowsticks at the raves, you give me a call, I'm falling off the wagon.

  23. Really confusing. on 10 Years of Translated Bin Laden Messages Leaked · · Score: 2

    So we've got reports some of the supposed hijackers are still alive (BBC) http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/1559151.stm and now this. I'm having a real hard time not reaching for the foil hat these days.

  24. Shrouding? on id, Raven Developers Discuss New Wolfenstein · · Score: 1

    BJ... Don't wear the ring! I know it's very tempting....

  25. Re:What Loose Ends? on Batman Discussion · · Score: 1

    "If you took every batman comic ever made since the 70s, put them in a blender, and added a few ounces of pure psychosis, this film is what you would get." Really? Oh whew, thanks man, that just saved me vast amounts of time!
