  1. Re:It's all fun and games... on EU Scientists Working On Laser To Rip a Hole In Spacetime · · Score: 1

    If that happens, you know we can reboot it... Just call J.J. Abrams!

  2. Re:PC? on Spiderman's Politically Correct Replacement · · Score: 2

    I'm sorry to disagree, but in Argentina THERE ARE strong racial issues. In the city of Buenos Aires, the "porteños" are very xenophobic and racists, even against their own country fellows from other "provincias". And don't talk about other countries near Argentina... Calling "bolitas" to some people (a despective motto the porteños uses for refering to the bolivians) is a clear example of a xenophobic way of talking. Ask for what is a "cabecita negra" in Buenos Aires and you will see. Most argentinians consider the europeans in general as brothers, but denies their closest brotherhood to their own american fellows. They even think they are a first world country, even while there are still people living on the countryside in 18th century's conditions. Racism is a big issue in there. My sister lives there since 2004 and I saw first hand what happens when your skin color is not bright white, just like most european's skin.

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

    We know what will happen... http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1549572/

  4. Re:physical speed is irrelevant on The End of the "Age of Speed" · · Score: 1

    We should find a way to encapsulate people on data packets then...

  5. Crap... on The New Commodore 64 · · Score: 1

    "Don't forget that the new Commodore 64 is a fully functional PC compatible, so you can even install and use the latest versions of Windows if you really feel you need to." Well, at least we will have the possibility to show a BSOD on the Commodore 64 after all...

  6. Re:How about glass on Pepsi Moving To Bottles Made of Plant Material · · Score: 1

    In Uruguay, Coke is bottled in returnable plastic bottles too. That means they wash and refill plastic bottles just like with the glass made bottles. Shamefull.

  7. C'mon guys! on Researchers Find Possible Atlantis Location · · Score: 1

    Everybody knows Atlantis is floating near the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, after being moved from the Pegasus galaxy...

  8. Re:vim? really? on Common Traits of the Veteran Unix Admin · · Score: 1

    Yes, vim. I love the way it highlights whatever code I'm writing. I even wrote a filter to add syntax highlight for my own configuration files when I program something new. So make no mistakes, vim is a very improved tool, and as I can use vi where vim is not to be found, I prefer myself the improved version over any other text editor in the world. Did you know there's a version for Windows too?

  9. Re:So all this time... on NASA Releases First 3D Images of the Sun · · Score: 1

    I always thought it was the end of the tunnel...

  10. Re:Big RC tugs on Private Space Shuttle Flights · · Score: 1

    Buran was remotely controlled, so no big deal with that approach...

  11. Re:Think Positron Engine Drive on Sizing Up the Daedalus Interstellar Spacecraft · · Score: 1

    Well, we may be able to find a second hand warp core, ejected to save a nearly exploding starship, left by a foolish Federation captain, and still not found by the Ferengi somewhere along the way and adapt it...

  12. Re:Sequels not that bad on The Matrix Re-Reloaded · · Score: 1

    Only worth if you use it as an example of what not to do with your own life...

  13. Re:I agree - they're still in the Matrix on The Matrix Re-Reloaded · · Score: 1

    So... the only thing this guys need is a fu**ing totem, right?

  14. Re:Heh on Autism-Vax Doc Scandal Was Pharma Business Scam · · Score: 1

    The ST:TNG episode was "Symbiosis"

  15. Re:Viruses don't live on Creating a Quantum Superposition of Living Things · · Score: 1

    Oh? Just the other day, we were talking about how much cell division is like fork(): ...

    C'mon! Everyone here knows you need a good knife to divide anything... not a fork! Sick techies....

  16. Re:Too much UNIX for me on FBI Wiretapping Audit Secrets Uncovered Via Ctrl+C · · Score: 1

    If they were using X11, they wouldn't need to press any key combination... just mark the text with their mouse pointers. :-)
