  1. This is awesome for all primates! on Team Use Stem Cells to Restore Mobility in Paralyzed Monkey · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    This is JUST what those asshole xtians were screaming about on the TV evangelism shows to have happen (as if miracles are real). Yet they will neglect the true heroes of Japanese medical science and go right on to thanking "god" when their quadriplegic grandmother gets the "cure" for falling down the stairs. Hypocrites should all remain paralyzed. It just makes sense.

    Science +1
    Religion -5

    See you in hell, Pat Roberson!

  2. Re:When irrelevant on Dr. Who's Sonic Screwdriver Exists · · Score: 1

    Hogwash. It MUST be true because they have successfully solved the time-travel paradox and are successfully not interfering with our timeline.

    Can't wait to get my sonic screwdriver. No more missing bits! No trying to figure out if that's a security torx #8 or a mini-phillips head!

    However for a TARDIS we need a few key technologies, unless we end up stealing one:
    Briode Nebuliser, Time Rotor, Dimensional Stabilizer, Telepathic Circuit, Chameleon Circuit, Translation Circuit, Perception Filter, Force Field generator, Temporal Grace generator, Cloister Bell, Tribophysical Waveform Macro Kinetic Extrapolator (better make 2, it sounds fragile), and a Hostile Action Displacement System

    And one fake TimeLord warning sticker, for added effect:
    Authorised for use by qualified Time Lords only by the Shadow Proclamation, Misuse or Theft of any TARDIS will result in extreme penalties and possible exile.

    So, what's to keep the offenders from disabling the GPS and using it for their own non-denominational service? Why not deploy flying drones to combat the would-be evil doers? What about the effect of CMEs on the GPS unit in Baby Jesus' head?

    Do not want; ads. I can find a product just fine. Make more noise, and I avoid your product. Pretty simple. Advertising is a waste of time and money, but not people. The people in advertising are just a waste of air and should be sewn together to make a protective CME shield for the Earth. Thank you.

  5. Re:Had this been pointed at Earth? What then.. on NASA Records Solar Blast of Epic Proportions · · Score: 2, Funny

    We're all dead from the last CME. This is a very elaborate dream-like state you're having just like in Brainstorm when they recorded that dead brain on the optical tape machine thing. Just go into the light... we can't keep this hallucination going for much longer.

  6. Re:Counterpoints on Gamers Abandoning DS, PSP In Favor of Smartphones · · Score: 1

    I've got the iPod Touch (1st gen) a DSi (my daughter has one too) and a PSP. The PSP is hands down the most capable of the three for one single killer app; GT4. The analog stick, the huge number of cars, lots of tracks, great gameplay, great graphics, it kicks Mario Kart so hard in the ass. Next is the DSi, good combo input methods, although no analog input (other then touch screen) and no GT4, nice GTA:Chinatown Wars though, but also available on the PSP, and some good titles here and there. The DS download store blows very hard though. Never tried the PSP store, but then Sony blows very hard and I would suspect it does too. Last is the iPod, some really cute games, but nothing that makes me want to play them anymore (except video poker) or ever go back to the lame app store.

    I would not get a PSP2 or PSPhone though. PSP is ruined with each lame update from Sony. Same with the DSi, Nintendo and Sony care too much about their lock-in, and not so much about their customers wishes; like open-developer and homebrew games, download store backwards compatibility to previous firmware verions, ability to transfer d/l titles to another system... only the fucking basics. :(

    So, I'm guessing my next handheld will be from a company I already hate...

  7. Re:Yea, Okay on Gamers Abandoning DS, PSP In Favor of Smartphones · · Score: 1

    I'm saying yes, and no. :) Just because I'm a prick! Seriously, many cool innovations are made possible by the new multi-touch input devices and gyros/accelerometers. HOWEVER (a big however), some game genres suffer greatly at the expense of said new input methods and devices. I can name one; driving games suck balls on the iPhone. The touch screen can't make a decent "virtual steering wheel" (slow and blocks the already tiny view) and the accelerometer-based input makes the screen tilt so much it ruins the view of driving on it. Any game that relies on the view of the screen *and* a real, separate input device (wheel, stick, buttons) can't work on a device with a touch screen. No virtual button can take the place of a real, mechanical switch on a good joystick. Mouse games, sure pointing and twisting work great. When I want to play a fast action game though, give me some buttons and a clear view of my goals.

    Also, you can tell how crappy a game's accelerometer methods are by trying to lie on your back, or side, and play the game; shit-methods break when the 'celerometer inputs expect you to be sitting upright and I consider that to be a fail for the dev. Try again you lazy douche, and give me my $1 back.

  8. Re:DOORKNOB ERA FORECASTED TO END IN 24 MONTHS on PC Era Forecasted To End In 18 Months · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Most awesome! May I also subscribe, multiple times, to your newsletter?

    I look forward to orphaning all the perfectly good hardware I own in favor of a paperless, flying-car world of handheld delights and not very good copy or pasting or printing... what's scanning? Well, that's something we used to do with a thing called a USB serial port that our plamtop vendors forgot to equip us with. Now we "scan" by taking a picture of the page you want copied, then upload it thru email to your facetwit account, then convert it into a textless PDF, and we're done... almost. Now, download it again on a real computer and print via an actual USB port connected to a printer(not over wireless where we lose many features), and we're done. Hooray, we are teh suck!

    Now, if you'll excuse me I'm off to purchase every doorknob at OSH...

    You're right, your argument is not well stated. Try again.

    Your fear is showing. Grow up and start thinking like an American, or move to Afganistan where only one religious view is needed, and you can depend on your low taxes to not be used on such silly things as a modern infrastructure.
