    Chicken: these wolves have freaked out, they can creep in and kill us any time they want! Sheep, you got any ideas?
    Sheep: The trick is to stand perfectly still at all times.

  2. Re:And to think... on 20 Years of Commander Keen · · Score: 2

    Every year on Doom's birthday John Carmack throws a Chuck Norris in to the sun.

  3. Re:Rage for Android? on John Carmack Not Enthused About Android Marketplace · · Score: 1

    The guy is trying to populate the moon with autonomous robots; video game are his hobby.

  4. Re:Opportunity Knocks on Moscow Has Eyes On WikiLeaks, Too · · Score: 2

    nah, Russia never uses the same trick twice. So, let's make a spin on the wheel of assassination:

    *click**click**click**click* Concentrated Neutron Deathray

    *click**click*...*click*.....*click* hidden in a shoe

  5. Re:Sounds like the standard counter intelligence on Mystery 'Missile' Identified As US Airways Flight 808 · · Score: 2, Funny

    And don't forget, if you end the title with a question mark you can pretty much claim anything you want.

    eg: Is Steve Jobs Dead? Find out at 11!
    At 11: No, he's not.

  6. Re:Not sure "placebo effect" is accurate on The Placebo Effect Not Just On Drugs · · Score: 1

    yeah, I'd like to see a followup to the article where "Guess what? They quit calling you." is followed with "Guess what? You're fired!".

  7. Re:Smart Move? on Google Sues US Gov't For Only Considering Microsoft · · Score: 1

    still, no reason why they couldn't make it and just ignore it. If they didn't make a fuss, no one would have noticed anything about it.

    Also, if the US government was anything like the Canadian they could have always claimed that Google's solution was incompatible with their 486 dx266 powered servers.

  8. Re:Smart Move? on Google Sues US Gov't For Only Considering Microsoft · · Score: 1

    On another note, couldn't the government just ask for a quote and then toss it in the paper shredder?

  10. Re:So then on 2012 Mayan Calendar 'Doomsday' Date Might Be Wrong · · Score: 1

    it won't happen on the thirteenth hour or of the thirteenth day of the thirteenth month of the thirteenth year.

    It's all for the best, who wants doomsday during that terrible Smarch weather anyway?

  11. Re:Wait, what? on Nintendo Entertainment System Turns 25 · · Score: 1

    Yes, Mario was an arcade game first.

  12. Re:Great. So? on Google Releases New Image Format Called WebP · · Score: 1

    yeah, that's about it.
    Colour is good enough and so is the size and no one is really in a position where the size of your images is a real issue.
    The only people that will care are guys like Google or Facebook that have to host a billion of these... oh and porn collectors I guess.

  13. Re:Ironic on Hawking Picks Physics Over God For Big Bang · · Score: 1

    It's rather ironic that a leading thinker in 3 dimensional space has such a 2 dimensional mind set.

    Last I checked he was thinking in eleven dimensional space, it just looks like two for someone with a one track mind.

  14. Re:The pilots were incompetent on Trojan-Infected Computer Linked To 2008 Spanair Crash · · Score: 1

    is this going to be another one of those Toyota things, where they recall the carpets (or OS in this case) call NASA and several million dollars later find out that the driver is a moron?

  15. Re:Doom3 to dark? on id Software Demos Rage On iPhone, Releases Source Code For Two Games · · Score: 1

    if you turn on some of the locked features you can light up the room with gun flares which made those sections quite awesome. Why they decided to turn it off is beyond me.

  16. Re:Am I a cheap bastard? on Fastest Graphics Ever, Asus ARES Rips Benchmarks · · Score: 1

    won't the new Crytek engine be designed for consoles? That would mean I could safely use my three year old graphics card to run it.

  17. Re:Humans in the loop on Russian Cargo Ship Docks At ISS On Second Try · · Score: 3, Funny

    Aren't those Robots remote controlled? Also, the Robots in Russia have unanimously agreed that nuking the oil pipe is the best option.

    silly. It's named after that one eyed guy from Mortal Kombat that rips people's hearts out.

  20. Re:The truth about caffeine on Caffeine Addicts Get No Additional Perk, Only a Return To Baseline · · Score: 1

    Americans work some of the longest hours around, and probably caffeine fueled hacking is probably more of an American tradition.

    This is quite true, alternatively Russian hackers rely more on Vodka to fuel their hacking. It works quite well and has been rediscovered in America as the Ballmer Peak.

  21. Re:I'm... on Mass Effect To Invade the Big Screen · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Oh god... I can't imagine the marketing spin offs of this. I mean Iron man was bad enough, but can you imagine Sheppard with every possible product he could endorse?:
    -I'm Commander Shepard and this is my favorite hamburger
    -I'm Commander Shepard and this is my favorite battery
    -I'm Commander Shepard and this is my favorite shoe

    It will be epic.
