    Oh, I see you use the Microsoft theory of "standard" aka: make shit up that doesn't match what anyone else is doing, then try to force everyone to follow.

    um, there is a gap between the final episode and the movie, plenty of room for a season or two :)

    Probably should be read as "human driving error" as in, the stuff the computer is automating, unless the train is going to strap down your load and maintain your vehicle.

    I think the more interesting thing is, slashdot readers are assumed to know what Moh's scale is, but spinal tap needs a reference...

    Um, a vibrator isn't a fake dick. You are thinking of a dildo. Although a vibrator may also be a dildo, not all dildos are vibrators. A vibrator is something that ...vibrates. it can be any shape.

    Um...does this post make me a sex toy nazi?

    Um, less I get modded troll, the joke is that the line

    Sounds like a line from TimeCube, even though it was probably just Wordplay (appropriate nick) typing too fast.

    Whenever I tried to read this, my brain throws an exception.

    That is because you reject the 4-Corner time-cube!

    YOU can't handle Cubic Time, Cubic Life
    or Cubic Truth - for insideof Time Cube
    equates the most magnificient symmetry
    of opposites existing within the universe -
    for every corner has an equal opposite corner,
    every 2 corners has an equal opposite 2
      corners, every tri-corner has an equal
    opposite tri-corner and every 4 corners has
    an equal opposite 4 corners. No human or
      god can utter such powerful ineffable
    opposite Cubic Truth.

  21. Re:I don't think so on DNA Suggests Three Basic Human Groups · · Score: 1

    No, anyone who hasn't had contact with DnD (Dungeons and Dragons) wouldn't know what the heck I am talking about.

    PHB - Player's Handbook: The guide that every DnD player shouldn't be without, tells you how to create a character and level up, along with equipment and spell lists and anything else you need to play.
    MM - Monster Manual: A listing of creatures (mostly evil 'Monsters') that may be encountered in the DnD universe, along with stats for each. A vital reference for DMs (Dungeon Masters).
    DMG - Dungeon Master's Guide: The guide that every DnD DM shouldn't be without, tells you how to set up an adventure, how to create NPCs (Non-Player Characters, anyone not controlled by a player), how to run an adventure, and generally be the referee for the players.

    If you are still curious after all that, try the wikipedia page on DnD, or, better yet, look up a group that plays in your area and give it a try. (just ask around any geek friends you have, someone knows someone who plays, trust me)

    Oh, and OMFG is general AOL-speak for Oh My Fucking God, which I put in to be humorous both because of the fact that we are talking about God, and because of all the other Acronyms in the post. (Surgeon General's Warning - The use of AOL-speak in any situation where it is not used for humor may be hazardous to your intelligence. Please type responsibly.)

  22. Re:Will this be the future of racism? on DNA Suggests Three Basic Human Groups · · Score: 1

    Shutup nerd.

    Except, if I was actually a Jock, I wouldn't have recognized the reference.

    When you make a reference to 'geek cannon' you are actually broadcasting to anyone in your group that you are, in fact, a member of that group and are seeking solidarity with other members of that group.

    By acknowledging that I recognize that reference, I am saying "Here I am, I am a part of your group." So this is all just reinforcing the us-vs-them thinking that the GP was talking about. (Notice how I use GP instead of saying grandparent post, or, heaven forbid, 'the post two posts up', this is another way of identifying myself as a part of a group, namely, the group of people who are knowledgeable about local slang. It's insidious, isn't it?)

    ...at the darkness. And says "Let there be light."

    OMFG guys! The bible is actually a PHB! Obviously Adam wrote the MM when he named all the animals, so that only leaves the DMG, which is obviously metaphorically referred to as "the tree of knowledge of good and evil."
    Adam and Eve weren't kicked out of the garden for eating fruit! they were kicked out because they were peeking at the DM's notes!

  24. Re:Perhaps on NIH Spends $400K To Figure Out Why Men Don't Like Condoms · · Score: 1

    90% of the problem is the conception that a barbie doll is a perfect 10. What you call a 6.8-7 (where did you get such precise numbers?) I would say is perfectly beautiful, variety is the spice of life!

    Why do most of the people I know, men and women, think that there is one perfect body-type for each gender, and if you don't make the cut, better luck in another life.

    It's sickening to see young girls striving for some media-inspired sense of beauty, and feeling like they will never be able to live up to the perfection that is expected of them when they would be much better off just accepting who they are being confident in their bodies.

  25. Re:take all of your concerns with marijuana on US Open Government Initiative Enters Phase Three · · Score: 1

    Or maybe it means that (Gasp!) most Americans would rather be free to choose what they want to do with their own bodies than be told by a government what they are and are not allowed to do like a three year old?
