  1. Re:And now... on Filming an Invasion Without Extras · · Score: 3, Funny

    My dream of seeing a movie where every role is played by Bruce Campbell will one day come to fruition!

  2. Proof that creationists are right on Solar System Date of Birth Determined · · Score: 1

    So, this pretty much proves that the creationists were right. The earth was created only 4,000 years ago. They were just a little off by a few billion years.
    Secondly it proves that the Earth's a Libra and according to today's horoscope says: More planetary changes bring the focus back to home matters and yet more change. A makeover for your room might appeal, but the planetary line-up could be a lot better than it currently is. Hold on to your ideas and wait until you have more time and a healthier looking budget!

    which is mostly correct.

  3. Re:Doyouhavestairsinyourhouse on REEM-B, New Humanoid Robot Announced · · Score: 1

    going to a grocery store or fetching beer? What a misuse of advanced robotics.
    Now strap a Minigun on this sucker and send him to Iraq!

  4. Re:I've seen this before... on Does Active SETI Put Earth in Danger? · · Score: 1

    Does that mean that Overlord Goorg W. Moohsh from planet UrSA911c is about to announce that we have secret weapons of mass destruction? As illustrated by the humans' documentary titled "Star Trek".
  5. Re:Apologize on Spike VGAs Confuse, Gamecock Apologizes · · Score: 1

    no, seriously. Was this award show actually shown on TV? This is the first time I've heard about it.

  6. Re:"Enormously Powerful" on Iran Builds Supercomputer From Banned AMD Parts · · Score: 1

    10 years ago, yes. But, seriously, it takes only about $30k to build a tera-scale system with commodity parts. And, if single precision is OK, $2400 will get you 900 "gig-flops" worth of PS3s. Last time I went through Bahrain, you could buy those in the airport for your kids, so they shouldn't be too hard for the Iranian government to buy. Not sure what the story is here... It's kind of like the helicopter-made-from-car-parts

    It's not practical, or any kind of technological advancement or feat. It's just a "why would anyone do that?" kind of story.
  7. Re:They are the Boogeymen! on Iran Builds Supercomputer From Banned AMD Parts · · Score: 1

    There is no separation between religion and state in israel, so bible is taught in school. Why would Israel teach the bible in school again?

    Did they all become Christians over night or something? I must have missed that meeting.
  8. Re:Excellent Buying Guide on Family Group Releases Annual Games Report Card · · Score: 1

    Luckily, the NIMF has been kind enough to point out the quality gaming experience that is Hannah Montana: Spotlight World Tour. Also, I hear that this Bioshock game is good, and it isn't on the Don't Buy list, so it must be good for all ages. Bioshock encourages playing with your little sister.
  9. Re:I wrote this essay over a year ago... on Secret Mailing List Rocks Wikipedia · · Score: 2, Funny

    Maybe you can't get a wikipedia that's absolutely ture, however you can get a wikipedia that's stir-fried!

  10. Re:Misleading... on Chimps Outscore College Students on Memory Test · · Score: 1

    I think the speed has to with the fact that the human mind does not only identify the pattern and location but tries to identify what number it is. The chimp just sees a shape, it does not understand what it is and therefore can identify the position of the shapes faster and better then a human. I'd like to see a simpler version of the test with simple shapes.

  11. Re:New WoW Class on Blizzard and Activision Announce $18.8bn Merger · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I just thought of this new class for WoW: Bard.

    You plug in your Guitar and cast spells/do attacks by playing a riff.
    Can't wait to roll up Lemmy the Orc Bard... or maybe an undead Eddie.

  12. Re:Get thee away from me on Violent Games 'Almost' As Dangerous as Smoking · · Score: 1

    They really need to do a study on Jack Thompson. I get a much higher blood pressure from listening to Jack Thompson for one minute then I do from playing three hours of Man Hunt 2.

  13. Re:Wuh? on HP Skin Patch May Replace Needles · · Score: 2, Funny

    this might be a by product of their printer technology. Just think about it, a low level technician was working one night on an ink injector and notices "hey! I just injected my self with half a gallon of ink and didn't even notice it!". He quickly dies and his manager then presents the idea to re-design their new ink injectors in to drug injectors and makes a cool million on it.

  14. Re:What about us on Are Aliens Living Among Us? · · Score: 1

    I'm sick and tired of these "Aliens Built the Pyramids" fantasies. Why can't they just admit that it was the Jews that built the pyramids and get on with their lives?

  15. Re:Portal kinda reminds me of.... on Croal vs. Totilo - The Portal Letters · · Score: 1

    10 years ago is not recent

  16. Re:The real reason they quashed it... on Colbert Ballot Bid Shot Down · · Score: 1

    Which would be the problem, wouldn't it? When the best candidate, by far, is considered a joke by most. This is different from Bush, how?
  17. Re:Halo was quoted as saying - on Halo Movie Is Still Dead · · Score: 4, Funny

    "I'm not dead yet... ... I feel Happy!" "and while you're dying, I'll still be Alive"
  18. Re:Not that it matters to Will Wright on Will Wright Opines That Wii Is the Only Next-Gen Console · · Score: 1

    Seeing as Spore currently is on track to be Next-Next-Gen anyways. I guess it's safe to say it'll be on the Wii 2 rather than the Xbox 720 at this point. right along side Duke Nukem
  19. Re:Fearsome. on Running the Numbers on a US Pandemic · · Score: 1

    They forgot the bit where it pees in your pool, kicks your dog, and ties your shoelaces together. On the plus side PS3 sales will go up a 100%
  20. Re:What is the use on Brain Regions Responsible for Optimism Located · · Score: 1

    I don't know, the evidence isn't conclusive, and there are at least 5 scientists at Exxon-Mobile who think it's bull.
    Looks like your rostral anterior cingulate and amygdala are over active.
  21. Re:Does it run as a daemon? on Researchers Aim To "Read Minds" of PC Users · · Score: 1

    everyone know it. All it's going to do all day is brows for porn.

  22. Re:But then ... on Countering the Arguments Against Unbundling Windows · · Score: 1

    so will this mean that Macs will no longer be bundled with mac OS?

  23. Re:Lucy in the sky with Takai, ... on George Takei Now an Asteroid · · Score: 1

    That is an awesome album.

  24. Re:Hey! They got games for Mac too... on Valve's Gabe Newell on Apple's Gaming Failures · · Score: 1
  25. Re:Laptop? on '30 Year Laptop Battery' is Unscientific Myth · · Score: 1

    just try carrying THAT laptop on to a plane.
