  1. MMM... on US Financial Quagmire Bringing Out the Scammers · · Score: 1

    Talk of scammers really turns me on, GIGGEDY!!

  2. Umm... Good Choice? on Maine To Skip Vista, Go Directly To Windows 7 · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I do think its great that states are turning down the pointless upgrade and saving some money, but they make it sound like there was no other choice. Seriously is Windows really the only OS out there? If Windows is posing such a problem that you cant even upgrade it cause its so bad why not upgrade AWAY from Windows... I just dont get it.

  3. Sing it high, Sing it low on Jack Thompson Disbarred · · Score: 1

    Ding dong the witch is dead.

  4. Wow on Awesome Pics of CERN's Large Hadron Collider · · Score: 1

    Did anyone else get a weird feeling like they were looking at something they weren't supposed to? Thats amazing stuff, seems like it should be classified or owned by some evil super villain or something

  5. wow on Texas To Build $4.93B Wind-Power Project · · Score: 1

    18.5 gigawatts! thats enough to power like 15 DeLoreans. That is ofcourse if you can afford the gas to even get the car up to 88mph.

  6. Nice Vid on Earth and Moon From an Alien's Perspective · · Score: 1

    That video is pretty cool, but didnt anyone else get a really creedy feeling as the moon passed by? Weird...

  7. A joke? on eBay'er Arrested For Attempting To Sell His Vote · · Score: 1

    It was only a joke because he got caught. Only someone 19yrs old or younger could give an excuse that lame.

  8. Scam? on What Happens When You Reply To ALL of Your Spam · · Score: 1

    I actually tried one of those "Get a free Ipod" sites a while back (using a spam account, fake addresses, not giving out any of my real info) and I actually did get a free ipod, I took about 3 days an hour a day of filling out forms and ads to meet the requirements. Clearly the site was a scam assumming 99% or more of the people that try will never meet the requirements to get the prize, but you really can get the prize if you try. On a sadder note, not long after getting my free ipod I accidentally left it in some pants that went through a wash and it was ruined... bummer, atleast it was free.

  9. Yeah but... on The Universe Is 13.73 Billion Years Old · · Score: 2, Funny

    what was there 13.74 billion years ago? There could not have been nothing, something had to exist. You cant be making something out of nothing at all... except love of course (rimshot).

  10. New Earth like planet? on Earthlike Planet Orbiting Nearby Star · · Score: 1

    i call DIBS!!!

  11. no matter what... on Earthlike Planet Orbiting Nearby Star · · Score: 1

    you can pretty safely bet that if its covered with mountains or oceans has life or not the planet still likely has faster broadband internet service available at more affordable prices then anything you can get in the U.S.

  12. fills up faster? on Bethesda Investigates Shivering Isles Bug · · Score: 1

    so it fills up faster and crashes sooner the higher the fps? well then i should be able to play the game for about 500 hours cause i cant get more then 15fps in that game... :(

  13. another solution on EU Commissioner Slams Music Lock-In · · Score: 1

    instead of constantly going after apple about opening up their drm how about you just go the other route and stop using itunes, if you dont like that itunes only works with ipods then dont use it, there is other music services out there, or you can still go buy the cd and rip it yourself. why should apple allow other players to work with their service? right now they have a good thing going getting the music sales and the player sales why would they let someone else in? I am not an apple user in fact I despise apple and their products so i dont use them, if you dont like the way they do things you dont have to sue them either. dont like windows? dont use it, dont like apple? dont use it. eventually people will realise apple is garbage and the problem with disappear.

  14. what? on Viacom Sues Google Over YouTube for $1 Billion · · Score: 1

    I just dont see how Viacom has any case here, neither google or youtube put those viacom videos on their site, its a site based on user submitted videos, its seems very unreasonable to expect google to watch every single video that is submitted then have a research team investigate to make sure the video does not hold any copyrights. So the only logical solution is to just remove videos as they are brought to googles attention and that did just that by removing all the viacom videos. so how is there still a case here? Sounds like a good way to make money if Viacom is successful, get some 15yr old kid to spend a couple days uploading all your copyrighted content to youtube them sue them for a huge amount of money even after you complain and have the videos removed.
