  1. Re:Great... on Purple Pokeberries Yield Cheap Solar Power · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Clean abundant energy can solve a lot of problems. Being able to run a sizable desalination plant would solve one of those listed.

  2. Re:If not us, who? on Aral Sea May Recover; Dead Sea Needs a Lifeline · · Score: 1

    Making me thirsty. http://www.brawndo.com/

  3. Re:Are you sure? on Brain Training Games Don't Train Your Brain · · Score: 2, Funny

    Wow, I want to learn telekinesis too. Where can I get those games?

  5. Re:I have an idea... on Perelman Urged To Accept $1m Prize · · Score: 1

    I'm no mathemagician, but didn't TFA say he published it in a paper, surely he hasn't retracted that. ---It took the world's leading mathematicians several years to verify that Perelman had definitively solved the problem in a paper published in 2002.---

  6. Re:I have an idea... on Perelman Urged To Accept $1m Prize · · Score: 1

    Give the man an ultimatum to accept. If he doesn't, leave the man alone, declare the problem solved and donate the money anonymously to The Mushroomers' Guild.

  7. Re:Convenience? on Can Ubuntu Save Online Banking? · · Score: 1

    The whole point of a Live CD is that the software isn't really soft. A VM could be hacked, since the code is in changeable memory and is executed in an environment that can't be guaranteed to be secure.

  8. Re:Damn on Facebook Leads To Increase In STDs in Britain · · Score: 1

    As long as you think that falls under "Mostly harmless."...

  9. Cross-culinary comparison on Indian Military Hopes to Weaponize the Searing "Ghost Pepper" · · Score: 2, Insightful

    From TFA "When deployed, the grenade showers the targets with a dust so spicy that in trials subjects were blinded for hours and left with breathing problems." Still pretty mild compared to weaponized mustard.

  10. Re:Finally! on The Unsung Heroes of PC Gaming History · · Score: 1

    Pleb!

  11. Re:Virtual Boy 2? on Nintendo Announces 3D Successor of Nintendo DS · · Score: 1

    Apple -is- in this business, TFA is about a portable device that plays games...

    Arcades still exist? Must find quarters!

    Missionforce: Cyberstorm!

  17. Re:Obligatory atheist flamebait on An Early Look At Civilization V · · Score: 3, Insightful

    You can count me in that category too - as much as one might dislike religion, there's no denying the impact it has had on civilization.

  18. Re:"Active"? on Study Shows TV Makes Kids Fat, Computers Don't · · Score: 1

    $5 ...Some of us have an Optimus Maximus keyboard. Not me though.

    Solution: pepperoni and cheese smoothie!

  20. Re:Not your dime... on Professors Banning Laptops In the Lecture Hall · · Score: 2, Funny

    That's a very one-sided view of things. The success of every student should be top priority for a professor.It may be that they (the professor) is a genuinely good person who cares about other people and how their education will affect society years later when the student is in the real world, or that in the university's eyes the success of the student reflects the effectiveness of the professor. In any case, education ... hey, get that sniper on the crane... HEADSHOT!

    Oh crap, did I just cross the line into trolldom?

  23. Re:They wish they'd thought of it first on Game Devs Only Use PhysX For the Money, Says AMD · · Score: 1

    I heard game devs are only incorporating Video Graphics Array output into games because of the money, not because they want to.

    That guy from Samsung (?) who had a billion SSDs RAIDed up for a demo didn't seem to be doing too bad... right?
