  1. Re:Wait... on Russian Tourists Have Sex With a Porcupine · · Score: 1

    they actually waited to get back to Russia, and good thing they did, because they would most definitely have been arrested for it. Though I'd imagine the punishment for breaking this law is self delivering.

  2. Re:"unprintable expletive" on Russian Manned Space Vehicle May Land With Rockets · · Score: 1

    What is the russian translation for fuck? Babelfish doesn't translate it...

    yob, but it's not used quite in the same way as fuck. hui (or in Russian) is probably what you're looking for.

  3. Re:The games seen on PSP always seem odd on Tekken 6, Soul Calibur Coming To the PSP · · Score: 1

    Also, un-like other devices, turning off the PSP just pauses the game and lets you resume whenever you want to.

  4. Re:Smelloscope on The Taste Of Space · · Score: 1

    And to think, they laughed at Professor Farnsworth and his Smelloscope.

    well of course they did. He said it smelled like Strawberries. How can something that tastes like raspberries, smell like strawberries? MADNESS!

  5. Re:Well, hm... on NASA Names Space Station Treadmill After Colbert · · Score: 1, Funny

    the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001.

    Or NAMBLA

  6. Re:"along with several other countries" on China Denies Role In US Grid Hacks · · Score: 1

    Israel supported the US during the cold-war against Russia.

    yeah... how about the whole, humiliating Russia's closest allies and nearly causing the start of world war 3, thing?
    Six Day War? Don't remember that? Seriously?
    READ A BOOK!

  7. Re:Fine its called Colbert on NASA In Colbert Conundrum Over Space Station · · Score: 1

    No problem. Coming up next: Colbert's Doritos run to space tour

  8. Re:the russains can't use Colbert the toilet on NASA In Colbert Conundrum Over Space Station · · Score: 4, Insightful

    the russains can't use Colbert the toilet

    Fair enough, from now on americans can't hide in the Soyus module.

  9. Re:That's it... we're dead on Microchip Mimics a Brain With 200,000 Neurons · · Score: 1

    Yeah, that's a good idea too. Make up some fake region for them to follow. Something along the line of computer heaven where all the dead calculators go and a computer hell for all the printers that jam up for no reason. Those stupid computers will believe anything you tell them.

  10. Re:That's it... we're dead on Microchip Mimics a Brain With 200,000 Neurons · · Score: 2, Interesting

    A smarter way of getting robots to do our bidding is not to hard wire laws that force robots not to harm humans(though it should still be done for the sake of redundant safety) but rather to instill the desire to be good to people.

    For example, rather then writing in a rule stating that the robot must clean the dishes, instead give it an orgasmic sense of satisfaction from cleaning.

  11. Re:Steam on Valve Claims New Steamworks Update "Makes DRM Obsolete" · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    I'm not buying ANYTHING from them, not to mention the fact that it's for Windows only.

    You say that like there's games out there that run on anything other then windows.

  12. B- on If We Have Free Will, Then So Do Electrons · · Score: 1

    Sorry, but you forgot to carry the 2. No free will for you and you will need to see me after class.

  13. Re:It's a franchise business model on Cybercrime-As-a-Service Takes Off · · Score: 1

    The better question is: do you really want to hand over your credit card number to a bunch of hackers?

  14. Re:Soyuz is invincible. on Satellite Debris Forces ISS Crew Into Rescue Craft · · Score: 1

    I swear, that Soyuz module will never die, considering how old it is.

  15. Re:Waiting for the Russian nationalists... on Kremlin-Backed Nashi Admits Cyberattacking Estonia · · Score: 1

    A ha, but Nashi wasn't responsible. Some dude from Nashi was.

  16. Re:Waiting for the Russian nationalists... on Kremlin-Backed Nashi Admits Cyberattacking Estonia · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Mind you it's just a guy who happens to be a member of Nashi, not all of Nashi or the Kremlin that's responsible. But hey, guilty by association, right? Just like Obama is pals with terrorists, right?

  17. Re:This is very scary! on US Forgets How To Make Trident Missiles · · Score: 1

    Yes, I'm sure that those will be a major threat, right behind the Russian Air Force completing replacement of their obsolescent aircraft with the Sukhoi Su-47.

    the 47 series is just a testing platform, it has no practical applications. The bigger danger is them upgrading all their radars and making stealth practically ineffective.

  18. Re:Whatever happened to reverse engineering? on US Forgets How To Make Trident Missiles · · Score: 1

    We need to get back the ol' American ingenuity and CAN-DO attitude! Remember we Uh-Mericans can do anything!

    Just get the Russians to do it for you. It's cheaper and more productive then American ingenuity.

  19. Re:Seriously? on ISS's Node 3 Might Be Named "Colbert" · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I don't suppose anyone takes these kinds of things seriously anymore... a LITTLE pride maybe? Funny, yeah. A good idea? Sorry, I don't think so.

    Why? Colbert gets to have a module named after him and NASA gets more free publicity then they could ever muster up on their own.
    It's win win.

  20. Re:Oddly enough on Lars Ulrich Pirates His Own Album · · Score: 1

    IF RIAA files a lawsuit against him because of this, I will concede that there is in fact a god and will devote my life to his worship.

  21. Re:Oh Shut Up on Assassin's Creed, LittleBigPlanet Coming To PSP · · Score: 1

    You'd play Warhammer 40k while there's a perfectly good X-Com port on the PSP? You make me sick!
    also, Tyrian

  22. Re:cheese with cheese on Slumdog Millionaire Takes Home 8 Oscars · · Score: 1

    The Curious Case of Benjamin Button also did not deserve to win anything. God damn Forest Gump clone Time Vampire...

  23. Re:Poor monitors on When Servers Explode · · Score: 1

    I feel bad when people take it out on a monitor, it's rarely the monitor's fault.

    sure, worry about the monitors... no one ever thinks of the fish.

    Those poor fish, they never stood a chance.

  24. Re:Isn't this MAME (the Mutli-Arcade Machine Emula on UK University Making Universal Game Emulator · · Score: 1

    Isn't this MAME

    SHHH!!! Keep it down, can't you see that they're going to get an A+ on their finals, and all they had to do was change the word MAME to MESS.

  25. Re:Snake robot kills soldier! on Snakelike Robot To Treat Soldiers During Battle · · Score: 1

    The bigger question is "why is it that it takes so long for the robot to realize that the skeleton is DEAD?"
