  1. Re:Good luck reading that book on Videogame Places You're Not Supposed To Go · · Score: 1

    A good experiment with moby dick:

    Read the first 15 chapters.

    Read the last 3 chapters.

    It turns into a passably good book about fighting a whale.

    Plus, Ahab is awesome:
     

    Towards thee I roll, thou all-destroying but unconquering whale; to the last I grapple with thee; from hell's heart I stab at thee; for hate's sake I spit my last breath at thee.!"

    If I hadn't posted already here, I would have modded you up for the "assuming I completed some sidequest to distract the guard first."

  3. Re:Skynet on Wired for War · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I think you're safe. The selective service has always just been for men. Sexist, yes, but this is one inequality that I'll bet NOW is not in a hurry to correct.

  4. Re:Kinda forgot about CC... on Comedy Central Confirms 26 New Futurama Episodes · · Score: 1

    I get Comedy Central HD on DirecTV.

  5. Re:Can Futurama unjump the shark? on Comedy Central Confirms 26 New Futurama Episodes · · Score: 1

    I'll show ye.

  6. Re:Can Futurama unjump the shark? on Comedy Central Confirms 26 New Futurama Episodes · · Score: 1

    I hope its a lager so I cant take it to blernsball games!

  7. Re:It's too late on Comedy Central Confirms 26 New Futurama Episodes · · Score: 1

    You'd trade that beautiful woman for a moderately attractive ape?

  8. Re:Hot Diggity Daffodil! on Comedy Central Confirms 26 New Futurama Episodes · · Score: 1

    Good News Everyone!

    That wormhole transported us back to before Benders Big Score and erased everyone's memories!

  9. Re:Sounds like Fox has finally got its act togethe on Comedy Central Confirms 26 New Futurama Episodes · · Score: 1

    Well, since he turned out to be who he turned out to be, I'm sure we'll end up seeing him at least 3 times a season. (premiere, sweeps, finale)

  10. Re:Roving black hole on Black Hole Swallows Star · · Score: 1

    A Galaxy

    A more massive black hole

    A more massive star

    Pretty much anything, although there would have to be a lot of anythings for the effect to measurable by humans.

  11. Re:here's how they could threaten gamestop on Publishers Want a Slice of Used Game Market · · Score: 1

    My family has the proud tradition of us being the final driver of any car we own. We just drive em until they break irrevocably and then sell them to a pick-a-part junkyard and go get another one.

  12. Re:Still not available on Hulu May Begin Charging For Video Content · · Score: 3, Informative

    Also, they need to make thier "full screen" HD look like HD. On my 1i1 19" 1440X900 monitor it looks worse than SD television.

  13. Re:Still not available on Hulu May Begin Charging For Video Content · · Score: 3, Insightful

    IF
    they provide the entire current season.

    IF
    they stop showing comercials.

    IF
    they make every show on the network available, regardless of ratings

    Then I may be interested in paying for Hulu. If not, then back to torrents for me. I already pay for cable, and I have a open source DVR that can record OTA network TV fine.

  14. Re:I wonder if my great^8 grandkids on Research Vehicle Reaches the Bottom of the Ocean · · Score: 1

    Yo-ho Its hot
    The Sun is not
    A place where we could live

    But here on Earth
    There'd be no life
    Without the light it gives

    We need its light
    We need its heat
    We need its energy
    Without the sun, without a doubt
    There'd be no you and me

    This may be the single funniest comment I have ever read on /.

    Kudos to you sir, and keep up the funny! If I had mod points, they would be yours.

  16. Re:FFXIV Confirmed on FF XIII Timeframe Set, FF XIV Confirmed · · Score: 1

    It's an objectivist utopia (or dystopia?) at the bottom of the sea silly!

  17. Re:Eh. on FF XIII Timeframe Set, FF XIV Confirmed · · Score: 1

    It is often forgotten, but my favorite Final Fantasy has always been Final Fantasy Tactics, for the PSX. Not a true Final Fantasy I guess, but it bears the name. NOT FF Tactics Advance on the GBA, which was awful, owing to the "laws" system.

  18. Re:FF13? on FF XIII Timeframe Set, FF XIV Confirmed · · Score: 1

    Chrono Cross is related to Chrono Trigger the same way that Mario Kart is related to Super Mario Bros.

  19. Re:I'm horny on Dinosaur Posture Still Wrong, Says Study · · Score: 5, Funny

    There's an app for that!

  20. Re:/. - are you listening? on Internet Explorer 6 Will Not Die · · Score: 1

    That's why you upgrade your frameworks to Hypnotoad 2. It eliminates any incompALL GLORY TO THE HYPNOTOAD

  21. Re:The "understood" security risks on Internet Explorer 6 Will Not Die · · Score: 1

    I highly recommend getting your escape plan ready, that app is going to explode sooner or later and you'll regret it if its on your watch.

    Roger Meyers Jr: The rest of you start writers thinking up a name for this funky dog; I dunno, something along the line of say... Poochie, only more proactive.
    Krusty: Yeah!
    Head Writer: So, Poochie okay with everybody?
    Other Writers: Yeah.

  23. Re:In a word, it sucks on Microsoft Bing Search Launches Early Preview · · Score: 1

    Ditto for Mac playing it through Flash.

    I'll try it with Jaunty when I get home.

  24. Re:Weird... on Microsoft Bing Search Launches Early Preview · · Score: 2, Insightful

    My take on it is this: If it defeats the SEO bullcrap that gums up the first 2-3 pages of most Google results, then I think it will be a useful tool to me.

    SEO bullcrap= When I search for HP 4600 troubleshooting, I am not searching for:
     

    "Tired of troubleshooting your old HP 4600? Come to CrazyJimbosPrinters.com and replace that HP 4600 and stop troubleshooting! HP HEWLETTPACKARD HP PRINTER 4600 4500 3500 2840 PRINTER LASERJET

    I shouldn't have to make a "-$NOUN" string a mile long just to find pertinent information. If Bing cuts out some of this fat, then they have a new user.

  25. Re:Those days still exist! on How Micro-Transactions Will Shake Up iPhone · · Score: 1

    Valve is my hero for this. Both TF2 and L4D have seen massive FREE content updates.
