  1. Re:In other news... on US Air Force Pays SETI To Check Kepler-22b For Alien Life · · Score: 2

    Also a patent on rectangular solar panels with straight sides.

  2. Re:Military the first one, huh? on US Air Force Pays SETI To Check Kepler-22b For Alien Life · · Score: 1

    Maybe they'd want the planet itself?

  3. Re:Oblig. on US Air Force Pays SETI To Check Kepler-22b For Alien Life · · Score: 5, Funny

    We may finally achieve the dreams of our ancient ancestors, who gazed up at the stars and thought, "I wonder if there are any bangable chicks up there?"

  4. Re:Space Intruder Detector on US Air Force Pays SETI To Check Kepler-22b For Alien Life · · Score: 4, Funny

    Plus the aliens could be funding an Al Qaeda base there or have Space Oi- Ahem, I mean Weapons of Mass Interstellar Destruction. Can't let those space-terrorists go undetected!

  5. Re:All this in the mist of global warming. on Russian Scientists Say They'll Clone a Mammoth Within 5 Years · · Score: 3, Informative

    Siberia gets down to -40C in the winter, it's cold enough with plenty of margin for global warming.

  6. Re:First he has to win this appeal... on Assange Wins Right To Submit Appeal · · Score: 1

    But why add such a completely artificial and unnecessary challenge to the mix by posting ridiculously low speed limits? I could do it, but why add the unnecessary distraction and frustration?

  7. Shame on nuke plant security and Greenpeace on Greenpeace Breaks Into French Nuclear Plant · · Score: 1

    The plant security must be pretty poor to let this happen, but who deserves at least equal shame is Greenpeace, who is doing a very effective job of getting roughly carbon-neutral nuclear plants shut down and replaced with eco-friendly COAL. Great work guys, great work, as usual. *slow clap*

  8. Finally on IBM Makes First Racetrack Memory Chip · · Score: 3, Funny

    This will give computers the ability to gain performance through the use of red paint and stickers!

  9. Re:needs targetted ads on TV Isn't Broken, So Why Fix It? · · Score: 1

    A recent South American ad actually had a rendering of the inside of a woman's vagina. With some white liquid flowing in. I kid you not XD

  10. Re:What's broken about TV? The content. on TV Isn't Broken, So Why Fix It? · · Score: 1

    And every channel that tries to break the mold ends up falling back into the same pit. The History Channel was respectable for the first few years, but now, they're exactly as respectable as portrayed in the recent South Park episode on the topic.

    "Were the pyramids built BY ALIENS!?!? Was the first Thanksgiving HAUNTED!?!?"

  11. Re:Same thing with HD and 3D. on TV Isn't Broken, So Why Fix It? · · Score: 1

    I'm thinking that an HD 3D projector like the Optoma HD33 might finally be a worthwhile upgrade over the old SD TV.

  12. Re:It's broken for me on TV Isn't Broken, So Why Fix It? · · Score: 1

    I've heard sopcast is good for sports, although the feed sources are mostly in Asia so the commentary probably won't be much good to you.

  13. Re:It's broken for me on TV Isn't Broken, So Why Fix It? · · Score: 1

    I would too. I'd really like to buy over my pirated music DRM-free (and in higher quality). But most such services aren't available internationally.

  14. Re:It's broken for me on TV Isn't Broken, So Why Fix It? · · Score: 1

    If you have TPB what do you need the other two for? :D

  15. Re:It's broken for me on TV Isn't Broken, So Why Fix It? · · Score: 2

    For me it's both.

    Well actually I watch a few series that are currently running (plus the odd documentaries), so it's not that there's nothing on, it's just that it's a tiny fraction of the shows you get on TV, showing at odd and inconvenient times. Pretty crappy deal considering the subscription fees AND ads.

  16. Re:Oh the irony... on Kepler Confirms Exoplanet Inside Star's Habitable Zone · · Score: 1

    Haha an ending worthy of a Twilight Zone episode.

  17. Re:2011's The Thing is a perfect example on Filmmakers Reviving Sci-fi By Going Old School · · Score: 1

    True, I once described the game as "The Thing in space"

  18. Re:not saying it's the propper attitude.. on Ask Greg Leyh of The Lightning Foundry What Charges Him Up? · · Score: 1

    True, for some businesses it's the ONLY upgrade opportunity.

    I wish I was kidding. The smallish company my dad works at has this sorry old Xeon server that absolutely CRAWLS. Takes 10 minutes to shut down, not kidding. The guy who runs the place is too much of a horrible cheap bastard to upgrade it.

  19. Re:Thomas Edison or Nikola Tesla? on Ask Greg Leyh of The Lightning Foundry What Charges Him Up? · · Score: 1

    Why? Edison was a great big asshole, Tesla wasn't. Easy choice. Mod me Informative.

  20. SharkLaser again on Will Firefox Lose Google Funding? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    This guy's gunning for Troll of the Year.

  21. Re:First he has to win this appeal... on Assange Wins Right To Submit Appeal · · Score: 1

    You got the sound of the gears, the sound of the air friction, and the speedometer.

    In modern vehicles, the gear and wind noise is gone, engine noise is almost gone and the speedometer is in the center of the dash, away from your field of view (thanks car manufacturers!).

    The only way to make it easy to stay under the limit is to drive a really slow car. Makes driving less frustrating if you live in a country with slow drivers too.

  22. SIBNIIE & HVRC experiments on Ask Greg Leyh of The Lightning Foundry What Charges Him Up? · · Score: 3, Informative

    How does your experiment differ from the SIBNIIE and HVRC long-spark experiments? Did you investigate the possibility of using their equipment instead of building your own?

  23. First post! on New US Government Project To Monitor Electronic Communication · · Score: 4, Funny

    First entry into PRODIGAL database!

  24. Re:Sounds fun... on Filmmakers Reviving Sci-fi By Going Old School · · Score: 1

    Oh, also, counterpoints: The Thing (1982) vs The Thing (2011), Star Wars 4-6 vs Star Wars 1-3.

  25. Re:Sounds fun... on Filmmakers Reviving Sci-fi By Going Old School · · Score: 1

    But could you imagine the awesome fight sequences?
