    Nintendo rules! Sega drools!

  2. Re:Apple Stores on Apple Causes Religious Reaction In Brains of Fans · · Score: 1

    That's just a ridiculous statement. Everyone knows that Purple Monkey's ride ON cars, they're far too large of a creature to actually drive them.

    My evidence:

  3. Re:Phasers on Celebrating the Sci-fi Ray Gun · · Score: 1

    That's because the cable company automatically puts graphics over the phaser beam so that you can see it. Much like the blue dot they use for Hockey games.

  4. Re:Phasers on Celebrating the Sci-fi Ray Gun · · Score: 1

    Key words there: "Used to"

  5. Re:Phasers on Celebrating the Sci-fi Ray Gun · · Score: 1

    All depends on where you sighted in your weapon.

    Gun stun settings don't work too well against PCP.

    I believe you're talking of something similar to a Bussard ramjet. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bussard_ramjet

  8. Re:We've sent them a message already... on Gliese 581d Confirmed as 'Habitable' Exoplanet · · Score: 1

    Like the G'Gugvuntts and Vl'hurgs, due to a terrible miscalculation of scale the entire battle fleet was swallowed by a small dog. The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy states that this sort of thing happens all the time.

    Second most dreadful insult. The greatest insult imaginable would be to say,"Would you like sugar in your tea?"

  10. Re:A two-pronged approach is needed on US Navy Creates MMO To Fight Somali Pirates · · Score: 1

    Kill all pirates on sight, period? Halloween will be a complete bloodbath with many pirates killed over here in the states. However I'm not so sure that the Somali pirates will be so obliging as to fly the jolly roger and walk around with parrots and eye patches.

  11. Re:Comcast isn't a monopoly everywhere on Netflix CEO Hesitant To Fight Cable · · Score: 1

    To paraphrase, "All right... all right... but apart from better sanitation and medicine and education and irrigation and public health and roads and a freshwater system and public order... what has the Government done for us?"

    There are many more things that the government does for you that you don't even know about, or take for granted. But if you insist on considering the government to be analogous to a company, keep in mind you can always cash out and move to one of the many other governments out there which may suit your taste in management better.

  12. Re:Comcast isn't a monopoly everywhere on Netflix CEO Hesitant To Fight Cable · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Your analogy breaks down because you are constantly using government services. If you really don't want to pay them, don't use government services. Sadly for you, that means you have to move somewhere without a government.

  13. Re:Finally on Robotic "Tongue" Lets You French Kiss Over The Internet · · Score: 1

    You use your french kiss to mix chemicals? Kinky.

    I can imagine it now, you caught in a time loop...in an attempt to get more wishes, going back in time making your first two wishes and then repeating the loop forever.

  16. Re:I guess I didnt miss much on 77 Million Accounts Stolen From Playstation Network · · Score: 2

    Seriously, I mean why give me a game that allows me to steal cars and shoot people when it's doesn't even emulate the experience properly?!! I go out and try these techniques on the street and they don't work at all the way they do in the game. It's morally negligent I say! I could be killed because of the bad info I'm getting from my video games!

  17. Re:No Springtime for Hitler on Mac Users More Liberal Than Windows Users · · Score: 1

    Urban areas like Beijing?

  20. Re:Nothing surprising here on Are We Suffering Origin Story Fatigue? · · Score: 2

    Actually, just about ALL movies lose money (according to their accountants), no matter how much they take in at the box office and in sales. Why? Because of something called Hollywood Accounting.

    Don't kid yourself, studios don't take risks, and when they do it's why they employ a veritable army of people to minimize the risks.

  22. Re:It does or it does not on Titan May Have an Ocean · · Score: 1

    FTFA:

    "It's also worth pointing out that there is another explanation for Titan's strange moment of inertia. The calculations assume that the moon's orbit is in a steady state but it's also possible that Titan's orbit is changing, perhaps because it has undergone a recent shift due to some large object passing nearby, a comet or asteroid, for example."
