  1. Re:Someone forgot to tell these guys on Half-Life of DNA is 521 Years, Jurassic Park Impossible After All · · Score: 1

    Do you think that some sort of virtual reality interface would help?

  2. Re:Meanwhile... on Pandora Shares Artist Payment Figures · · Score: 1

    Because I don't have any big band / swing era music on my computer but for whatever reason that is more or less all I'm listening to these days.

  3. Re:Bloated or obsolte? Make up your mind. on Firefox 16 Released: More HTML5 Support · · Score: 1

    Yup this is exactly how I feel. I use Firefox because of the addons and I install Chrome on everyone else's computer.

  5. Re:The case is being misrepresented here.... on Supreme Court To Decide Whether Or Not You Own What You Own · · Score: 1

    So this case is more about import laws than anything else?

    Does the US have anything on the books about not being allowed to import goods in direct competition from the manufacturer?(I'd guess no, but I have no clue)
    Do our trade agreements not allow the import of goods from other countries that are not allowed for export. What I'm getting at is the US doesn't have a problem with the products being imported per se, but the country they are coming from does not allow the export of those items from anyone other than the manufacturer? (This I could see as being very likely)

  6. Re:I bet.. on World of Warcraft Character Becomes Campaign Issue · · Score: 2

    If you are a guild leader, you should absolutely put it down. The amount of BS and drama you have to deal with is far less than you will ever have to deal with in an actual professional environment.

  7. Re:Human Psychology on Why Are We So Rude Online? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I always liked this one, "An Ethical man knows what is right, a Moral man does it."

  8. Re:The dumbest people work in government on White House Confirms Chinese Cyberattack · · Score: 1

    You want to know how I know you don't work in security?

  9. Re:Babylon 5 on Aircraft Carriers In Space · · Score: 1

    IIRC gravity also affects hyperspace, so while they use gravity for communication and propulsion their sensors are actually looking into hyperspace with the sensors.

  10. Re:Common sense and reason on File-Sharing For Personal Use Declared Legal In Portugal · · Score: 1

    Only the Red Court went down; the Black Court is still around, not many of them though; and White Court is still alive and kicking and appears to be on the rise.

  11. Re:What about animals? on California Legalizes Self Driving Cars · · Score: 1
  12. Re:Not me. on California Legalizes Self Driving Cars · · Score: 1

    Wife by definition means she is a woman.

  14. Re:New camo techniques required on DARPA Unveils System Using Human Brains For Computer Vision · · Score: 1
  15. Re:HUH? on Why Aircraft Carriers Still Rule the Oceans · · Score: 1

    Yamato took 11 confirmed hits and 2 unconfirmed hits, her sister ship took 19 torpedoes. Japanese were terrible at damage control, but with that many hits it may not matter.

  16. Re:Behold, our huge, mighty penises!! on Why Aircraft Carriers Still Rule the Oceans · · Score: 1

    Carriers do rule the ocean, you seem to be forgetting that their aircraft are very effective at attacking ships and subs.

  17. Re:R2D2 beats missles. on Why Aircraft Carriers Still Rule the Oceans · · Score: 1

    I was under the impression that Phalanx is only "guaranteed" against subsonic missiles, but super+ are a crap-shoot at best

  18. BS Apple fluff is Phoronix's new gig? on Apple iPad 2 As Fast As the Cray-2 Supercomputer · · Score: 1

    BS Apple fluff is Phoronix's new gig, now that Steam is actually coming to Linux?

  19. So why are we using it? on Astronomers Fix the Astronomical Unit · · Score: 1

    If the distance is going to be bouncing around for various reasons it sounds like it isn't a good measurement. Personally I've always liked using light second as a measurement.

  20. Re:Text size on wiiu.dcemu.co.uk on Nintendo WiiU Price and Release Date Announced · · Score: 1

    I did not know about ctrl+0 to return to default size, thank you

  21. Re:Are you a human being? on Following FEMA's Zombie Preparedness Plan Could Land You On Terrorist List · · Score: 1

    Hawaii wasn't a state till the 50s. The Philippines were a commonwealth of the US and they were overrun by the Japanese.

  22. Re:GameCube or N-Gabe? on Valve Job Posting Confirms Hardware Plans · · Score: 4, Funny

    Sauna or some other word that means something along the lines of a Box filled with Steam.

  23. Re:Back to the Future... on Russia Wants a Hypersonic Bomber · · Score: 1

    Actually it was originally intended to be an interceptor

  24. Re:A billion times. on No Bomb Powerful Enough To Destroy an On-Rushing Asteroid, Sorry Bruce Willis · · Score: 2

    If a planet killer asteroid was coming for the earth, I don't think it would be too difficult to get a pass on making an Orion space craft to act as a heavy lifter.

    And I'm not talking about the NASA Orion I'm talking about the DARPA project

  25. Re:Republicans are burning in the Hell they made on NASA Scientist: Heat Waves Really Are From Global Warming · · Score: 4, Funny

    Your self control is amazing, how were you able to resist writing Rethuglicans? What's your secret?
