  1. Re:Planetary thinking detected. on Don't Talk To Aliens, Warns Stephen Hawking · · Score: 1

    The only things on Earth that aliens could not get from asteroid farming are things to eat, things to have sex with and blue LEDs.

  2. Re:How long till the Tea partiers blame Obama? on Volcanic Ash Heading Towards North America · · Score: 1, Funny

    I'm just waiting now for Fox/Glen Beck,etc to blame Obama in some way for this.....

    Rush Limbaugh FTW

  3. Re:So what's new? on Military Asserts Right To Respond To Cyberattacks · · Score: 1

    If it's anything like their physical response to attacks I expect them to attack Poland after a Chinese student DoS attacks them with zombie computers from Russia.

  4. Re:Exactly. on 2010 Salary Survey Highlights IT Woes · · Score: 1, Interesting

    What's paid overtime?

    Well, in Canada, getting paid for over time is the law. Check with your government and you will probably find similar laws protecting you. A lot of companies insist that these laws don't exist and as long as you don't check they'll get away with not paying you.

  5. Re:Ignorant conclusion at end of article on DoD Report On 32 "Nuclear Accidents" · · Score: 1

    Yeah I'm sure suicide bombers are scared shitless of retaliation.

  6. Re:Watch the vid in the article on Photoshop CS5's Showpiece — Content-Aware Fill · · Score: 1

    I hate it, gonna put me out of my job.

    SHHH! Just don't let your clients know and we can all pretend to work for hours while posting on /.

  7. Re:Um... on Invisibility Cloak Created In 3-D · · Score: 1

    I don't mean to complain, but it would be nice to have a picture.

    ok here you go

  8. Re:Avatar pains on The Movie Studios' Big 3D Scam · · Score: 1

    well I definitely saw it on an I-Max screen, but I've seen a lot of movies in that theater and even Polar express (which made my eyes water like all hell) didn't give me such a headache. Maybe it's just far more forced focusing in Avatar to cause that.

  9. Avatar pains on The Movie Studios' Big 3D Scam · · Score: 5, Informative

    I don't know about anyone else but I've seen a lot of 3d movies before, but Avatar gave me a splitting headache at the end of it. I don't know quite what it is about it, but watching it was painful (not being sarcastic BTW.).

  10. The point is that it's water that we don't have to get from earth in to space.

  11. Re:Wishlist: on Real-Life Equivalents of Video Game Weapons · · Score: 1

    Well, Fat Boy is more or less real. The nuke exists and it's about the size as in the game, though the bang is bigger. However in reality they figured that the dangers of launching a nuke point blank would exceed the benefits and decided to make it artillery launched.

  12. Re:Everyone leaves their homes on I Use Twitter, Please Rob Me · · Score: 1

    The best thing to do is to twitter about your attack dog and how he bites through your coffee table whenever you leave him alone in the house (which is always).

  13. Re:I don't believe it on Apple Bans Jailbreakers From the App Store · · Score: 1

    What I don't get is how this will this hurt hackers? Jail broken i-phones can just as easily download any moderately notable program from a torrenting site and run it for free. So it seems that they'd rather slightly inconvenience hackers then sell the few apps that the hackers might have consider paying for.

  14. Re:Summary wrong: Not a coma! on "Vegetative State" Patients Can Communicate · · Score: 1

    I'm wondering if this whole thing is the same effect as 'communicating' through a Ouija board.

    They should start doing some blind test where a you ask question that the doctors and immediate family members might not know about. Like, what's your Face Book account password and other personal information.

    Then when we find their Face Book account trolled and the bank account mysteriously emptied, we'll know it works!

  15. Re:Insanity. on Man in Court Over Simpsons Porn · · Score: 1

    The show aired at 1989, so one of those kids has got to be at least 21 by now.

  16. Re:Am I crazy or... on Antarctica Needs a Network Engineer · · Score: 1

    Cold drinks are hard to keep because they keep freezing. Coffee is plentiful and I hear Vodka will keep under warm blankets.

  17. Re:Reboot how? on Spider-Man 4 Scrapped, Franchise Reboot Planned · · Score: 2, Insightful

    ah, finally. What all fans have been waiting for since the first spider man... MECHANICAL WEBSHOOTERS!

  18. Re:A classic? on Avatar Soars Into $1-Billion Territory · · Score: 1

    I work on a lot of trade show animations... so yeah, I'll be working with a 3d TV by the end of the year. I doubt that I'll actually be watching movies on it though. Well, maybe Nightmare Before Christmas, but even that sucked in 3d.

  19. Re:A classic? on Avatar Soars Into $1-Billion Territory · · Score: 1

    Well the effects will be what everyone will come back for. Blu-ray will sell well, and i'm sure they'll come up with some 3d gimmick to sell as an add on as well as some director's cut box.

    Don't get me wrong, it was a good watch, but I don't think i'll be seeing it again.

  20. Re:Madness on Geoengineering a Snow-Free Winter Fails In Moscow · · Score: 1

    well, most people have to do just that. In big cities you don't see any of those things, instead you get sludge, traffic and giant mountains of black/brown snow. If you wanted to go tobogganing you'd have to find a skiing facility, everything else is just plain unusable.

  21. Re:what about my question? on Sam Ramji Answers Your Questions · · Score: 2

    Yes I was quite disappointed as well :-(

  22. Re:Excellent on Method To Repair Damaged Adult Nerves Discovered · · Score: 1

    I think most ear damage has nothing to do with neurons, unless you have tinnitus and no one is quite sure how to fix that.

  23. Re:PROTON CANNON! on Proton Beams Sent Around the LHC · · Score: 1

    And they were sure to kill any ghosts that were haunting the doomsday device.

    Let's just hope they never try to cross the beams...

    the question is, are you ready for a super mutant Congress?
