  1. Re:More images on Earliest "Writing" On 60,000-Year-Old Eggshells · · Score: 1

    Maybe single characters may have similar meaning, but the compounds are vastly different. For example, the characters for letter mail (tegami) in Japanese mean toilet paper (literally hand paper) in Mandarin.

    Ghost in the machine?

  3. Re:I would volunteer for the research on Man Swallows USB Flash Drive Evidence · · Score: 1

  7. Re:Really? on Hollywood Treats Hackers Pretty Well · · Score: 1

    The aliens in ID4 weren't exactly social animals, devouring worlds and such. Maybe they developed all that technology because they didn't have social conventions that would merit them taking time to bother worrying about network security. If so, someone with a rudimentary understanding of their systems could hijack their systems? Then again, they did 'hack' the satellites... myExplanation--;

  8. Re:The solution is simple: on Game Testing ATI's Six-Screen Eyefinity System · · Score: 1

    Not as funny as you might think, it could also mean Fo' Obama (For Obama) to some people.

  11. Not just games on Steam UI Update Beta Drops IE Rendering For WebKit · · Score: 2, Funny

    It's quite amusing when you get 20+ people asking you if Math Input Panel is fun.

    Richard Dawkins must be beaming.

  14. Re:VAC is a joke on Valve's Battle Against Cheaters · · Score: 1

    If the cheater is on your team, please do as I do and try to piss him off by bunny hopping in front of him, hitting him with smoke grenades and basically giving away his position by any means necessary.

  16. Re:Conspiracy theory! on Russia Confirms Failed Missile Launch Caused Norway's Light Show · · Score: 1

    If it was more than 100ml, they'd still have the same reaction.

  19. Re:Cheaper = Worse? on Netbooks Have Higher Failure Rate Than Laptops · · Score: 1

    I treated my Aspire One like a princess but it still crapped out on me in less than a month. Specifically it stopped charging... so back it went.

  20. Re:What? on Federal Judge Says Corps of Engineers Liable For Katrina Damage · · Score: 1

    I would sell life insurance to people who are already dead... the benefits pay out upon death, not after it.

  21. Re:Shiny things? on Laser Weapon Shoots Down Airplanes In Test · · Score: 1

    I seem to remember seeing somewhere that the giganto laser on the Boeing was being reflected at its target with a mirror...

    Timothy or Denis?
