  1. Re:Pussy hurt much? on Why Size Matters For Your SSD Purchase · · Score: 5, Funny

    That's why I boycott books. I mean the scroll format was obviously much better. Turning pages wastes time and saliva, plus there is the mortal danger of paper cuts. Until books and magazines come in a sensible scroll format I won't be buying either.

  2. Pick a new name assholes on Alternative Orion Missions Proposed · · Score: 3, Funny

    Every time I see an Orion story I think project Orion. Actually don't pick a new name, just scrap Constellation and bring back the real Orion.

  3. Re:Wait, really? on US Life Expectancy May Have Peaked · · Score: 1

    That 100,000 times statistic. Would that be based on the number of drunk drivers caught or the actual number of drunk drivers on the road. 100,000 times per mile driven seems excessively high.

    If your house is robbed and you make a claim, then a tree falls on your roof the year after and you make a claim, then your house burns down and you make a claim, will they insure your next house??

    You mean the USMC.

  6. Re:Death Star on Poor Design Choices In the Star Wars Universe · · Score: 1

    Let's not even get into the fact that they show the rebels running out of the building after planting the explosives and a few seconds later an explosion big enough to kill everything in a square mile.

    No, he is a hero in a TV show, of course he has hero like skills and abilities. But what does he do that is physically impossible.

    I know right, everyone knows the french don't go to battle.

  9. Re:I'm sorry but on IPv6 Challenges and Opportunities · · Score: 1

    I started this post intending to post a lot of links to IPv6 enabled routers. I own a Linksys/cisco RVS4000 that supports IPv4, IPv6, and dualstack. I know other routers besides the Apple and 1 D-Link I could find must suppport it but apparently they don't feel the need to advertise that fact. 15 minutes of googling turned up nothing.

  12. Re:Color Blind audience? on Flickr Yanks Image of Obama As Joker · · Score: 4, Insightful

    No, we all know where is no such thing as racism against whites. In fact, I'm pretty sure that the mere suggestion makes you some kind of bigot.

  13. Re:Olde News? on Fatal Explosion At Russian Hydroelectric Dam · · Score: 1

    Modern ones do it pretty quick. Unless you consider 9 minutes "forever".

  14. Re:Mid-course corrections? on Relativistic Navigation Needed For Solar Sails · · Score: 1

    You can call a U-turn a mid-course correction but it is still best to start off pointed in the correct direction.

    They are relatively better at the calculations??

  16. Re:Was it worth breaking privacy? on Judge Rules To Reveal Anonymous Blogger's Identity Over Insults · · Score: 2, Funny

    So all we have to do to protect this anonymous hero is prove that she is a psychotic, skanky, ho? Any volunteers who own a cam-corder??

  17. Re:So will it be region locked? on Windows 7 To Sell In UK For Half the US Price · · Score: 1

    What DRM? Product Activation? Yeah that sucks but is more of a hassle than anything. DRM on Blue Ray and DVD? How else do you expect to play DVD or Blueray movies? How do you legally play DVD or Blue Ray movies on other Operating Systems? Your comparing apples and oranges. Other operating systems don't have DRM because they don't play Blue Rays and or DVDs legally. If you don't choose to play Blue Rays then the DRM doesn't affect you so I don't see your point. You can download non-DRM encumbered media all day long, play it to your hearts content, and the DRM will just sit there dormant.

    The Blue Ray and DVD examples are just that, examples. I know there are other types of DRM media but Blue Ray and DVD are the ones most likely encountered.

    Most wall warts nowadays are switch mode and use almost no power when not in use.

    No, we all know Albert Einstein invented the atom. Just like Newton invented gravity.

  23. Re:It shouldn't be any more controversial... on NASA Developing Nuclear Reactor For Moon and Mars · · Score: 1

    There will be no fission until the reactor is safely on the moon so I don't see your point. Polluting the moon with radiation is like polluting the beach with sand. As far as launch safety, which would you rather have detonated in the Earths atmosphere, a mass of U235 or Pu238?

    Yeah we can't have dangerous, dangerous radiation in space. Think of the children.
