    I don't know, but I did pull up a Southern cooking website!

  2. Re:Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow on Zeppelins Over California · · Score: 1

    The "Gwyneth Paltrow is hot" demographic, I believe.

    Nonsense! It has these awesome... uhh... you know... Amendments! That's it!

  6. Re:Yay New Features on First Looks at The Gimp 2.5 · · Score: 1

    I don't know if it's just me, but I tend to have problems using a Wacom tablet with the GIMP; whenever I want pressure sensitivity to affect the size of the brush, it will eventually stop registering. If I use light sensitivity, it will also often not register. I have not had problems with this with other programs in Wine. While there are other problems, to be sure, this became my major pet peeve with the GIMP when I tried it.

  7. Re:philosphically wrong on Many Scientists Using Performance Enhancing Drugs · · Score: 1

    That assumes everyone is into science to prove something to themselves. To me, science is intriguing not because it's the quintessential conflict of the human spirit or some other crap like that. I'm curious--I want to know more about this fascinating world! I still have that knowledge to savor, no matter how I acquire it, don't I?

  8. Re:History repeats itself... on Vista is Slower, But XP Is Still Dying · · Score: 1

    Seriously, can we just stop doing this everytime there is a new release of windows? I'd like to think I'm sticking it to the man by using ME.

    Did that article feel like one huge Sprint commercial to anyone else?

  10. Re:why not skip the bullshit on Neuromarketers Pick the Brains of Consumers · · Score: 1

    Well, you only think they're attractive.
    In this case, the goggles actually do something!

  11. Re:dear god! on Microsoft Told to Pay Tax on License Fee · · Score: 5, Funny

    Personally, I blame Microsoft.

  12. Re:Why would anyone ban nerf guns? on Roleplayers Seek Removal of Nerf Gun Ban · · Score: 1

    If you're designing a government with the fundamental idea that all governments are corrupt, then you've failed before you've even begun.
    Or you're just not naieve.
  13. THINK OF THE SPACESHIPS on Large Hadron Collider Sparks 'Doomsday' Lawsuit · · Score: 5, Funny

    Captain Zapp Brannigan: We'll just set a new course for that empty region over there, near that blackish, holeish thing.

  14. Re:Already Free on Adobe Puts Free Photoshop Online · · Score: 5, Funny

    Actually, for photos I use emacs.

    You should use Brawndo: it's got what plants crave. It's got electrolytes.

  20. Re:TFA was off in one important respect... on What Will Life Be Like In 2008? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Well, without them, they claim to know what plants crave. It's progress.

  21. I guess even he knew on What Will Life Be Like In 2008? · · Score: 5, Funny

    Even forty years ago, he wasn't naive enough to suggest Duke Nukem Forever being available.

  22. Re:Cthulhu '08! on IT Workers Split For McCain, Obama · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    If one of his campaign promises was to eat Bush, Cheney, et al. first, then I would honestly consider voting for him!

  23. Zerg Rush! on 'Mind Gaming' Could Enter Market This Year · · Score: 1

    "Kekekeke"

  24. Consoles... on DirectX Architect — Consoles as We Know Them Are Gone · · Score: 5, Insightful

    For gaming, consoles are about as "Just Works" (no Xbox jokes, thanks) as you get. For people who lack computer expertise, but like playing games, how can PCs beat that for the time being?
