  1. Room tempurature?!?!! on Room Temperature Semiconductor of T-Rays · · Score: 2, Funny

    Shouldn't they be focusing on ocean temperature?

  2. Re:likey it will be seen being used at the Olympic on China Buying US Directed Sound 'Weapon' · · Score: 1

    I think we're more likely to *hear* it used at the Olympics...

  3. Re:Why not allow them to be implanted? on First Genetically Modified Human Embryo Under Review · · Score: 1

    Ummmm...I'd glow with pride?

  4. Re:This is why I don't like Master Chief/Solid Sna on Second Person · · Score: 1

    martinQblank prefers the third person form.

  5. Re:All that's left on The Science of Iron Man · · Score: 1

    C'mon - doing a line of blow with him maybe. I'd buy that -- but an actor just sleeping around? That just stretches the boundaries of credibility. I think you need to change your id to StCredLessThanZero. ;)

  6. Re:*facepalm* on Oklahoma Leaks 10,000 Social Security Numbers · · Score: 1

    Unless I'm missing something, the URLs at the Oklahoma site indicate they used Java (note the big '/servlet/'). Not sure why PHP qualifies for this level of abuse in this article. And yes, I am a PHP developer who probably writes a bunch of code that is horribly sloppy, insecure, and difficult to debug. But I'm doing my best to improve my skills -- just like everyone else here when they started out.

  7. Re:Bioaccumulation fears on Old Subway Cars As Artificial Reef · · Score: 1

    Unfortunately yes, you did miss at least one.

  8. Re:Special Effects on Tsunami Spotted on the Surface of the Sun · · Score: 1

    No, this distance outward from the core represents the surface, and fuck you if you doubt me.

  9. Re:But... on Tsunami Spotted on the Surface of the Sun · · Score: 1

    Nahhh - probably you'd hear 'wipeout'.

  10. Re:Hidden subject on U. Maine Law Students Trying To Shut RIAA Down · · Score: 2, Funny

    Sounds almost as useless as porn via braille.

  11. Re:That's Nothing to be Proud Of on Scientists Build New Type of Photon Gun · · Score: 3, Funny

    So, is there a shark-mounted application for this or are these guys just wasting time?

  12. Re:Umm... what other Satellite Radio is there? on Justice Dept. Approves XM/Sirius Merger · · Score: 2, Insightful

    "...I still don't have satellite radio, because I don't see the need."

    And that's exactly why XM and Sirius have to merge. The market isn't currently there to support both companies. I AM an XM subscriber (and shareholder) and I'd rather see them merge than go away.

  13. Not my mind thank you.. on 'Mind Gaming' Could Enter Market This Year · · Score: 1

    Personally, I'm a little uncomfortable with the notion of anything or anyone but me reading my thoughts. I'll share them, or act on them, when I'm ready. Clearly though, such an interface has many promising applications ranging from military to medicine.

  14. Re:well on Can REDFLY sell in an EeePC market? · · Score: 1

    Really? I've got the same phone and I can get 2+ days battery life out of it if I don't talk to anyone -- and that's with it paired with my bluetooth headset. I also only have to 'hard' reboot it about once a week (which, I must admit is WAY too often for what is effectively a souped up phone). Of course, when my phone crashes, it crashes hard and I have to pop the battery out to start over. While I'm not a huge fan of Win Mobile 5 or the ppc-6700, I have had different experiences than you.

    All that aside I think the phone/pda market has a long way to go before they hit my ideal version of a product.

  15. Apple vs. IBM on The Reality Distortion Field Is Real · · Score: 1

    When viewing the Apple logo I am immersed in a pure white light...providing me with a mental blank canvas ripe for unbridled creativity whereas with the IBM logo all I get is blue...blue...blu...hey, is that pinstripe?

  16. Re:The same John Uribe? on Late Adopters Prefer the Tried and True · · Score: 1

    "Well, I'm not *quite* 50, but in four days I'll be 49."

    Man, you just rocked the world of all the 20-somethings on this site who thought they were hanging out with other 20-somethings. Soon enough they'll realize the internet is primarily populated with middle-aged balding white guys.

    I should know, I'm one of 'em.

  17. Advertising vs.... on Should Wikipedia Sell Advertising? · · Score: 1

    Seems like selling ads might be a little more legit than selling favors [slashdot.org]

  18. Re:Good news, but how good? on NIN's Music Experiment Sells Big Numbers · · Score: 1

    Right on man - it's the sport superstars that should earn 300 million bucks per season! Cuz they uh...grow foo..no, build hous...um damn.

  19. Re:Alternative music.. alternative methods on Reznor Follows Radiohead, Offers Free Album · · Score: 1

    Don't forget ABBA...ennnhhh. I still know some of the lyrics... The worst part was, I LIKED it until I heard Clapton for the first time.

  20. Re:Actually, that's sort of a cop out. on Correcting Misperceptions About Evolution · · Score: 1

    I happen to like the fjords...

  21. Before I saw the 'Onion' tags... on Diebold Leaks 2008 Election Results · · Score: 2, Interesting

    ...I had a brief moment where I seriously considered that it could, in fact, be true. Hmmm.

  22. Re:Navigating by compass is obsolete? on Obsolete Technical Skills · · Score: 1

    Alright - who turned their laptop upside down after they read that? Or, should I say, who ELSE...

  23. Re:Will never work... on 'Porn King' Says Google Should Block Porn Access · · Score: 1

    "Most things on youporn.com..." -- Hey, thanks for the link!

  24. Well... on White House Must Answer For Missing Emails · · Score: 5, Funny

    Waterboarding shouldn't be out of the question to get the answers. Right?

  25. Re:W00t. 1st post on US Set to Use Spy Satellites on US Citizens · · Score: 1

    Canadian? I'm good then... Like, take off eh. Hoser. Hockey!

    Thanks Bob & Doug!
