  1. Re:Jean Grey had 3 "resurrections" on The Decreasing Impact of Death In Sci-fi · · Score: 1

    Slight edit on one of the points. Jean Grey didn't die in the plane wreck. She was saved by the Phoenix force, tossed in a cocoon to heal while the phoenix force created what was basically a copied body with a copy of Jean's consciousness. Eventually after Phoenix died on the Moon, Jean was recovered from the cocoon many, many, many issues later.

    Madelyne Prior was originally just someone who looked liked Jean, but was in no way related to her. It was much later that a new orgin was retconned in making her a clone created by Mr. Sinister.

    Paranoia the RPG, you should check it out.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paranoia_(role-playing_game)

    If you don't do what Comrade Computer tells you, you must be a defective clone and destroyed. But don't let Comrade Computer catch you suggesting that it made an error in making a clone, or it'll classify you as defective, because Comrade Computer doesn't make mistakes. ^_^

  3. Re:Piracy to dodge DRM vs. piracy to avoid paying on DRM Drives Gamers To Piracy, Says Good Old Games · · Score: 1

    Many does not mean all people for all games.

  4. Re:Piracy to dodge DRM vs. piracy to avoid paying on DRM Drives Gamers To Piracy, Says Good Old Games · · Score: 1

    Well, it appears that most of the comments are from people who bought a game and were annoyed that they also had to download DRM cracks.

    So yes, many people do pay money and crack it.

  5. Re:i've been boycotting before anonymous... on 'Anonymous' Plans Sony Boycott On April 16 · · Score: 1

    Why use all those words? If you want to just bury your head in the sand just say it. "I don't care about other people, I just want to bury my head in the sand." See? Was that so hard?

  6. Re:First, is there a problem? on Arizona Governor Proposes Flab Tax · · Score: 1

    Major Medical Insurance may pay out less on the Obese, but Workers Compensation Insurance pays out far more to the Obese. This is because added weight makes similar accidents cause more severe injury to the obese, and recovery from those injuries is longer.

  7. Re:Uh, don't we maybe NEED that hormone? on Accidental Find May Lead To a Cure For Baldness · · Score: 1

    Well, there are surgeries for that too. ^_^

  8. Re:Correlation is not Causation on Requiring Algebra II In High School Gains Momentum · · Score: 1

    Your wife is right, it is a most unusual process to make sunny-side up eggs. I wouldn't call it wrong, just strange.

    And here I thought you were just a Yakov Smirnoff fan.

  10. Re:Why does everyone assume Tesla's claims are tru on Tesla Sues BBC's Top Gear For Libel · · Score: 1

    All cars run out of energy; be them electric, gas, or diesel. When's the last time they went to great effort to show a Ferrari or Lamborghini running out of gas? It was a stunt engineered for the sole purpose of being turds.

    I would suggest that if a Ferrari or Lamborghini took more than a couple minutes to fill up the tank, they would.

    But overall, it's always been obvious they hate electric cars as well as american cars. And you're right, it was definitely slanted to make Tesla look bad.

  11. Re:FIRST LAWSUIT! on Tesla Sues BBC's Top Gear For Libel · · Score: 1

    Is it possible that the car does not run properly on a low battery?

  14. Re:Ummmm on Man Creates "Creepy" Stalking App · · Score: 1

    When we were going through Grandma's old letters, we found many of them were merely address to her name followed by "Town".

    Apparently if you mailed something in the town, you only had to write "Town" or "Country" for it to be a deliverable address by the local postmaster.

    What individual stalks you, kills you, skins your face and then jerks off on your corpse?

    Do you have their number?

    There is no claim that this guy is a social phenomena.

    He's just a student who used a spare month to throw together a program, just to show people who don't visit slashdot how much data on themselves that they are actually putting out there.

    I recommend a higher dosage of Risperdal.

    I think I'd enjoy that Sci-Fi book.

  22. Re:What have astronauts done lately? on Spacecraft Sends First Image From Mercury's Orbit · · Score: 1

    I suppose if your poop explosively grows in volume in micro-gravity, you probably have bigger worries than trying to arbitrarily decide what is and isn't science.

  23. Re:What have astronauts done lately? on Spacecraft Sends First Image From Mercury's Orbit · · Score: 3, Interesting

    While there may not be a lot of exploration and discovery, it doesn't mean that there isn't any science being done.

    http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/station/research/experiments/List.html

    Maybe they need flashier experiments?

  24. Re:What have astronauts done lately? on Spacecraft Sends First Image From Mercury's Orbit · · Score: 1

    It took Science out for dinner and a movie, maybe some small talk. I don't think the Manned Space Program wants to get too emotionally committed to Science with all the two-timing that Science is doing.
