  1. Re:Wow on Rare Venomous Mammal Filmed · · Score: 1

    "You have found a scroll of genocide!" "What class of monsters do you wish to genocide?"

  2. Re:Hm. Great on Tooth Regeneration Coming Soon · · Score: 1

    As a drooling puddle?

  3. Re:Fancruft on Saving Geek Lore and Other Wikipedia Castoffs · · Score: 1
  4. Re:Quote from the Future on McCain Picks Gov. Palin As Running Mate · · Score: 1

    "The existence of the Oort cloud is a perfectly good scientific theory, whether there is any evidence for it or not, whether it is true or not. There CAN be evidence for or against it."

    So it's not a theory then, it's a hypothesis.

  5. Re:colors on Black Screens For Unauthorized Copies of Windows · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I'm really into the Windows Zune theme (black start/taskbars with orange buttons).

  6. Re:Why parent is not insightful on How To See In Four Dimensions · · Score: 1

    This is slashdot. The people here are EXPERTS at visualising actress's physical bodies from 2 dimensional images.

  7. Re:Hey, Ragnar on Ragnar Tornquist On Video Game Storytelling · · Score: 1

    The problem is that it's been such a long time and so many elements have been left unresolved that by the time the sequel rolls around I, at least, probably won't remember half of the story that it's supposed to be continuing. As for replaying Dreamfall first, I don't think I can bring myself to tackle those "action sequences" again.

  8. Re:Occupations from E-mail addresses on Inferring Personality From Email Addresses · · Score: 1

    That's not what it would mean here in the UK ;)

  9. The one challenging most philosophy graduates... on Are US Voters Informed Enough About Science? · · Score: 1

    Would you like fries with that? (I'm joking of course, I'm actually very interested in philosophy)

  10. Re:Correlation is not causation on Why the Cloud Cannot Obscure the Scientific Method · · Score: 1

    I'm familiar with the research you've presented here; Dr Exley actually happens to be my research supervisor. I just felt that you'd presented quite a controversial area in a bit of a glib fashion.

  11. Re:Correlation is not causation on Why the Cloud Cannot Obscure the Scientific Method · · Score: 1

    "Or perhaps less obviously, aluminum doesn't cause Alzheimer's, it builds up in the brain as a consequence of Alzheimer's."

    Do you have a source for this?

  12. Re:Ehh, it's been done before on Pushing a CPU to Heat Death, Intentionally · · Score: 1

    I've had that happen to me, I presume due to overheating. In my case the computer kept powering off and I kept turning it back on again. The third time I did so there was a bang, a flash and everything in there was dead.

  13. Re:Where did you want to go today? on Microsoft IM Blocking YouTube Links · · Score: 1

    Who's been a naughty boy then?

  14. Re:Common Sense is asking too much... on BBC and ISPs Clash over iPlayer · · Score: 1

    Plus.Net already does this in the UK.

  15. Re:You're kidding, right? on Your Identity Is Worth Less Than $15 · · Score: 5, Insightful

    That's because you're looking at the slips from people who don't give enough of a shit to keep them.

  16. Re:Cool on US Military Explored Hiring Bloggers As Propagandists · · Score: 1

    I can't help but hope that this guy is making a clever reference to the article.

  17. Re:Biblical Rewrite? on Sperm Made From Female Bone Marrow, Men Obsolete? · · Score: 1

    Poetic license.

  18. Biblical Rewrite? on Sperm Made From Female Bone Marrow, Men Obsolete? · · Score: -1

    Maybe in this case Adam was made from Eve's rib.

  19. Re:The Brain Uses the Cerebellum to Multitask on Multitasking Makes You Stupid and Slow · · Score: 1

    All vertebrates have a cerebellum.*

    The cerebrum in most "simple" animals consists mainly of the motor and sensory cortices. Analogues to the cerebrum can therefore be found in all organisms that have a brain (as they all have sensory and motor functions). However in more intelligent animals like humans most of the cerebrum consists of the association cortex which is what supposedly gives us our higher mental function.

    * Decided to back this up with a source.

  20. Re:asdlfkj3214^J!#$K%JEWKRJL^#!$%DJGASDLKTJ on Interview with AT&T on BitTorrent Filtering · · Score: 3, Funny

    Any cat capable of using the shift key is probably overqualified.

  21. Re:Death and Rebirth on Teleportation — Fact and Fiction · · Score: 1

    Yes but it's the connections between them that are important and the state of potentiation/depression at the synapses.

  22. Re:New game with new memes on Information Requested for NASA-Based MMORPG · · Score: 1

    Yeah, he never wants to be told the odds.

  23. Re:Moon on Helium Crisis Approaching · · Score: 1

    How is this possible? Helium would be a gas at the temperature that the moon is and the moon has even less gravity to hold onto it than the earth does.

  24. Re:There is a zero-wear player on Vinyl Gets Its Groove Back · · Score: 3, Informative

    That's good providing your records are spotless and dust free. The laser can't push particles out of the way like a needle can.

  25. Re:Accurate, considering the caveats on PC Mag Slams Cheap Wal-Mart Linux Desktop · · Score: 1

    "On the flip side, you can't throw a rock without hitting 6 Windows users." Your ideas are intriguing to me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter. Seriously though, I like Windows.
