    I guess he is going to play Bowser.

  2. Re:Making me proud to be an australian again on Australia Scraps National ID Plan · · Score: 1

    You forgot...

    Surprise visit to Iraq, promises to remove "combat troops" and send them home, by June.

    No the inca's have prior art.

  4. Prosthetics on NASA's Invention of the Year Award Goes to Synthetic Muscles · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Prosthetics could really benefit from this.

  5. Anything. on Bar Codes Keep Surgical Objects Outside Patients · · Score: 1

    Anything that helps doctors and nurses to do their job properly is fine by me. Barcoding the items is a damn fine idea. Just don't know how it hadn't been implemented sooner.

  6. Ratings systems on Family Group Releases Annual Games Report Card · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Rating systems are no substitute for good parenting. That includes playing or at least monitoring the games your children play.

  7. Re:The science! on Stem-Cell-Like Cells Produced From Skin · · Score: 1

    For me, its First nueron. Once they have that they begin to think, otherwise its just a collection of cells.

  8. Re:What form of Cannabidiol on Cannabis Compound Said To "Halt Cancer" · · Score: 1

    Then couldn't the buildup in fat help offset the increased risk associated with obesity?

  9. What form of Cannabidiol on Cannabis Compound Said To "Halt Cancer" · · Score: 2, Interesting

    THC or Tetrahydrocannabinol would certainly have cannabidiol as part of its compound. Does it break down into cannabinol after time? THC is certainly the compound that gets you high.

    They say that smoking it would not yield much cannabinol. What of long time marijuana users, surely they would have build up cannabinol in their bodies.

  10. Re:Divx/ xvid support on Microsoft's Plan to Be King of All Media · · Score: 0

    Someone mod this man up.

    That information is worthy of a story submission by itself.

  11. Divx/ xvid support on Microsoft's Plan to Be King of All Media · · Score: 5, Funny

    They better hurry up and pull their finger out of their asses and get Divx/Xvid support for the 360 then.

  12. Re:Only 1024? on Historians Recreate Source Code of First 4004 Application · · Score: 1

    I think you will find that was a PUI (physical user interface)

  13. Marketing. on Take Two Settles Hot Coffee Suit For Millions · · Score: 1, Insightful

    $2.75 million pays for one hell of a marketing campaign.

  14. Re:Flaiming Competitors, and politics... on Sony Still Not Happy With 'Home' · · Score: 0

    Maybe he just won't boycott the one thats cracked easiest.

  15. Re:hmm. on EU Wants Air Passenger Data Collected · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Yes indeed it begins. One small step at a time. Basic rights eaten away in the name of "security". The public thinks "its only a minor inconvenience" or "it makes me safer" each time losing a little freedom, handing the government more power. While we drive around in flashy cars, watch big screen HDTV with surround sound and our Mb/s rated internet connections obtaining free entertainment off bittorrent.

    Bread and circuses people.

  16. Re:Before we go off half cocked... on School District Threatens Suit Over Parent's Blog · · Score: 0

    Why didn't you link to it yourself, seeing as how you found its omission so objectionable you have done nothing to correct it.

  17. Pedobear on Students In UK Tracked With RFID Chips · · Score: 0

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7hriJeTXxzM Pedobear approves of this technology. Seriously my kids will have any and all tracking devices disabled. The school administration can feel free to Kiss my ass while I accuse them publicly of being kiddie fiddlers.

  18. we don't need on Australian Researcher Boosts ADSL Speeds · · Score: 0

    We don't need faster local speeds but a faster backbone out of the country. Local speeds are fine. We need better ADSL penetration into the interior as well.

  19. well... on EA Boss Says Games Too Expensive · · Score: 0

    They could start by allowing Aussies using EA direct download to download the US version of hellgate. Obviously with the Aussie dollar at 92 USC they get payed nearly twice at 89.95 AUD.

  20. Re:Don't laugh. on Single Nanotube Becomes World's Smallest Radio · · Score: 0

    Hold on, I got a delivery at the door looks like Flowers By Irene. Be right back.

  21. Re:I say, on Mom Sues Music Company Over Baby Video Removal · · Score: 0

    And she should change her name to some unpronounceable symbol. That way if she is sued its gonna be damn hard to serve her papers.

  22. No CC on Court Strikes Down Age Verification For Adult Sites · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    No credit card requirements for porn sites to verify my age anymore then?

    Great! More porn easier. Not AC because I am not afraid to let people know I like watching sex.

    Yes I am over 18.

    If you don't want your kids looking at it try a little thing called parenting.

  23. Finally on Australians Running On-Line Poll Based Senators · · Score: 1

    I have been waiting 11 long years for something like this. Goes to register to vote.

  25. Re:should have happened long ago on Consumer Group Demands XP for Vista Victims · · Score: 1

    Actually the X in Xbox comes from direct X Its development name was DirectX box. Can't Give a reference on that but it is on the Pre-order VIP Pack that was released in Australia a few months before the 360 release.

    Does the X in XP have any relation to directX ?
