  1. Re:Because it is playing God on Human-Animal Hybrids Fail · · Score: 0, Redundant

    "god schmod - I want my monkey-man!" -Bart Simpson

  2. Re:Not like Terminator on Smart Robot Capable of Hunting For Its Own "Food" · · Score: 1

    Reminds me of Stephen King's The Dark Tower... maybe they could dress it up like a bear...

    Too late for that: DWA!

  3. this is the only sequel I need: on Please No, Not a Blade Runner Sequel · · Score: 1

    The only necessary continuation to Blade Runner is BGC

  4. Re:Roll. up TVs? on Sony Shows Off Flexible OLED Screens At CES · · Score: 1

    10 years I reckon before these are in the shops.

    Well, they already have OLEDs in Sony stores... 10 years before they become affordable, sure, but they'll be in stores sooner then that.

  5. Re:Eats insects, but needs venom? on Rare Venomous Mammal Filmed · · Score: 1

    If it eats insects, why would it need venomous teeth? It looks like the kind of thing that runs away from bigger animals, so I can't imagine it used in defense. And insects could be swallowed whole.

    It eats insects but it hunts humans for sport.

  6. Re:Paranoia on Fallout 3 DLC Detailed · · Score: 1

    Well, the DLC is just about entirely outside of the main game's environment. It's not stuff that could take place in the capitol ruins and doesn't use the same main character.
    Also, the level cap would be pointless to lift in the main campaign. It's already easy, going above level 20 is just over kill.

  7. Re:Remember kids on Race and Racism In Video Games · · Score: 1

    What's that got to do with anything? I was under the impression that RE5 was under attack because you were firing shotgun blasts into herds of zombies who happened to look a lot like black people.

    must be because they're wrongly portraying zombies as black people, because no one seemed to have a problem with Far Cry 2 which is about firing shotgun blasts in to herds of black people.

  8. Re:Return Fire!!! on Significant Russian Attack On US Military Networks · · Score: 1

    So, let's send the attacks back to them. If they want to play that game, let's crash their communications/economy/country/way-of-life.

    You assume that we can, but frankly, they've got more experiance with computer warfare, failure of the economy and change to their way of life then we do.

    There's also the probability that this wasn't in any way related to the Russian government, there's enough cyber-mercenaries in Russia and they'll work for anyone that will pay them.

  9. Re:I was just wondering on Astronaut Loses Tools While Performing an EVA · · Score: 1

    Why isn't the tools bag somehow linked to the suit? with a strap or something ...

    nah, that'll look like a purse, and then the Russians will laugh at us.

  10. Re:Lord have mercy! on Quantum Cloaking Makes Molecules Invisible · · Score: 1

    Last week they announced the first laser cannon, now we're working on the base technology for tricorders? Maybe startrek IS an accurate timeline.

    And with Obama as president we might even see Star Trek's Utopian Socialism.

  11. Re:What's worse... on Dead Parrot Sketch Is 1,600 Years Old · · Score: 1

    I am appalled how history is allowed to lampoon and plagiarize our lord John Cleese

  12. Re:Unimportant? on Obama's Impending NASA Decisions · · Score: 1

    Agreed, we really should find a replacement for the shuttle program before scrapping it.

    We did, it's in Russia.

  13. Re:MEGA MAID! on The Best Fictional Doomsday Devices · · Score: 1

    it is literally breathtaking.

    Indeed, and it can be set to suck or blow!

  14. Re:...it is the first female genome as well on First Whole Cancer Genome Sequenced · · Score: 1

    So, is she hot?

    well they published her genome, so you can make your own and find out.
    The source code is a little buggy though.

  15. Re:Game? on Eight-Armed Animal Preceded Dinosaurs · · Score: 2, Funny

    I thought Spore was a game?

    That's a common misconception, it's actually five really crappy games.

  16. Re:hacking Russian Nuclear Subs .. on Air Force To Rewrite the Rules of the Internet · · Score: 1

    That sounds like a very complicated plan... The real Russian plan of attack however is far more effective: Just pay some geeks to do it. Geeks are more then happy to violate a target's computer systems and they're far more relentless and malicious then the most cold hearted ex-KGB agent.

  17. Re:We already have one... on Fictional Town "Eureka" To Become Real? · · Score: 3, Funny

    Not that lack of legs to stand on has stopped them in the past. Gore invented the internet and now we find out thatMcCain invented the Blackberry!

    McCain invented fire.

  18. Re:Didn't the Soviets do this? on Fictional Town "Eureka" To Become Real? · · Score: 1

    On top of bad funding the other problems was that a lot of the discoveries just ended up gathering dust in a warehouse.

    It's hard to tell which invention will be the next segway and with bureaucrats deciding what project gets funding a lot of the good inventions got canned. I'm sure there's more then one pair of functioning rocket boots that are currently rusting away in some Russian vault.

  19. Re:2+2 = 5 on Wikipedia's New Definition of Truth · · Score: 1

    2+2=5, (for extremely large values of 2)

  20. Re:Now we know on Google's Chrome Declining In Popularity · · Score: 1

    Now we know how long Slashdot users can stand to browse the internet without AdBlock.

    That's not funny, it's true!

    I was blissfully forgotten how Ad ridden the internet was until I switched to Chrome. Then I saw the internet for the eldrich horror that it is. My mind was assaulted by the squamous abominations of the internet untill I could take no more! Ia ia Firefox fhtagn! The red fox with a thousand young!

  21. Re:America on Robotic Suit For Rent In Japan · · Score: 1

    America just learned how to make a near successful robot arm and Japan's got a full suit?

    Well they built one exoskeleton, but just before it was ready to test some huge German guy wearing a leather jacket and sun glasses broke in and destroyed the lab.

  22. Re:Memory Stick would be Easier on Tips For Taking Your Laptop Into and Out of the US? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Memory sticks work fine, most security personnel don't even know what they are. Just remember, what ever you do, don't EVER bring a bottle of water with you!

  23. Re:Interesting on New Contestants On the Turing Test · · Score: 1

    If we don't have the right to switch off a conscious machine (one that passes the Turing test) does that imply we have the right to switch off a human who fails a Turing test?

    Have you ever retired a human by mistake?

  24. Re:Oh.. you mean the Quick Start Bar? on Steve Jobs Patents "The Dock" · · Score: 3, Funny

    You know, that area on the windows tool bar that gives you quick access to applications? Been there since Windows95 I think..

    ooh! can Microsoft patent the icon? How bout right click? Well, I'm sure everyone can agree that they can patent the "crash".

  25. Re:maybe it would be easier on Researchers To Build Underwater Airplane · · Score: 1

    to build a flying submarine

    A yellow flying submarine?
