  2. the Julian assange on Assange Secret Swedish Police Report Leaked · · Score: 1

    the Julian assange

    What the hell is an assange, and why is there only one? Any relation with the Julian calendar?

  3. Re:Iron Sky on Finding Independently Produced TV Shows? · · Score: 1

  5. Re:The word advert on Why Special Effects No Longer Impress · · Score: 0

    May be because the real word is advertisement? Of course that word has 600 years, while the abbreviation ad has merely 200 years, which makes it even sillier not to use it.

  6. Re:Sentience on Voyager 1 Beyond Solar Wind · · Score: 1

    Sometime in the '80s. The problem is that I'm looking for a way to go back. Do you know how hard it is to come by a space gas station?

    Sorry Dave. I can't let you drink that.

    I wouldn't want to sit at that christmas table...

  11. Re:Hopefully on Doubling of CO2 Not So Tragic After All? · · Score: 2

    The first part of this is true - but it's important to bear in mind that the use of "imply" in this statement is not the same as the colloquial use. Imply here means "prove" - correlation does not prove causation. A suggestion for a more accurate way of phrasing the statement that avoids confusion is "correlation does not imply causation, but it is a hint".

    Are you saying that correlation doesn't imply causation, but that it does waggle its eyebrows suggestively and gesture furtively while mouthing 'look over there'?

  12. Re:If only we had a p2p DNS system.. on WikiLeaks Moves To Swiss Domain After DNS Takedown · · Score: 1

    Sarcasm! That's original!

    To answer to the GP, yes, you can use the Wiimote and need some kind of sensor bar (or candles).

  18. Re:It is all about resolution on The 5-Year Console Cycle Is Dead · · Score: 1

    Actually, through the wonder of emulators you can play Wii games in as High a resolution your machine can handle.

  19. Re:Be great for homemade pr0n on Combining Two Kinects To Make Better 3D Video · · Score: 1

    Actually, it seems likely to me that geeky (as in geeks will be the ones doing it) amateur 3D porn will become commonplace before commercial 3D porn.

  20. Re:Ok on PC Gaming 'a Generation Ahead' of Consoles, Says Crytek Boss · · Score: 1

    Zelda: Ocarine of Time and even Zelda 3: Link to the Past had huge worlds that even now most games don't come close to.
    Regarding streaming, I don't see why it's important that a pedestrian on the other side of the city be on memory and managed by the AI, it's a game, not a simulation.
    And I take a good gameplay game over a good graphics game every day. (Having said that, Zelda on an emulator in HD running fullscreen is incredible.)
