  1. Who cares? on In-Game Gold Farming a $500M Industry · · Score: 0, Troll

    It's just a silly game.

    If "gold farming" twists your panties up too tight, maybe you're playing too much.

  2. Re:THAT'S NOTHING on In-Game Gold Farming a $500M Industry · · Score: 3, Funny

    Not as an AC, you don't.

  3. Re:Get the spelling right! on 2008 Is the Coldest Year of the 21st Century · · Score: 1

    In English, it's spelled, La Niña (italicized, because it's a foreign word).

  4. Re:Unbelievable on 2008 Is the Coldest Year of the 21st Century · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The environmentalists weren't worried about people in the first place.
    It was the fish and the birds they were worried about.

  5. No problem for you environmentalist types. on 2008 Is the Coldest Year of the 21st Century · · Score: 1

    Global Warming Theory predicts this!

  6. Re:But some artists suck. on Support Grows For Blanket Music Licensing · · Score: 2, Insightful

    > In theory, the money goes into a pot,
    > and then is redivided based on what was listened to.

    In practice, those of us who don't listen to a lot of music will be subsidizing those of you who do.

  7. Re:I'm sure... on Teens Arrested For Motorized Office Chair · · Score: 1

    It'd probably BSOD before he could throw it.

  8. Re:Killing music for everyone on RIAA 'Elektra V. Barker' Case Is Settled · · Score: 1

    For the dictionary impaired, to "swear off" of something means to (at least intend to) never have anything to do with that something any more.

     

  9. Re:Files and milk crates. on RIAA 'Elektra V. Barker' Case Is Settled · · Score: 1

    But what about them milk crates?
    Those probably were stolen property.

    So somebody should probably sue 7-eleven for "making them available" by leaving them outside by the back door.

  10. Re:Photoshop is not a verb on Photoshop Allows Us To Alter Our Memories · · Score: 1

    Great advice.
    I think I'll go Xerox that and hand it out to my cow orkers.

  11. Re:Too bad.. on Smart Self-Service Scales · · Score: 2, Informative

    I don't know who they pay to do it, but over here (in New Mexico, anyway) the grocery stores have nearly every piece stickered. Every last apple, orange and peach. And all the veggies, too. Our cashiers can be (and often are) blithering idiots.

  12. Re:Too bad.. on Smart Self-Service Scales · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Around here, the cashiers don't have to know what it is. Just throw it on the scale and type in the PLU code that's on the sticker.

  13. Re:I really hate self service scales.. on Smart Self-Service Scales · · Score: 1

    > Which is better for me as a customer ...

    Wait a minute.
    You've made a treacherous assumption.

  14. Re:spiritual beliefs? on Stone Age Mass Graves Reveal Green Sahara · · Score: 1

    I'm with you buddy, you fellow insensitive-cold-hearted-clod!

  15. Re:spiritual beliefs? on Stone Age Mass Graves Reveal Green Sahara · · Score: 2, Insightful

    No. Other way 'round. These days, if you do profess membership in some faith, you're a cold-hearted bastard.

  16. Re:The One will bring the green back on Stone Age Mass Graves Reveal Green Sahara · · Score: 2

    Or, to put it another way, "This was the moment when global warm.. er... climate (yeah that's it) change Jumped the Shark."

  17. Re:Amusing on Photographers Face Ejection Over Lenses · · Score: 1

    Only because the freedom loving Democrats haven;t been in power long enough.

    Just wait...

  18. Re:Meanwhile in Tibet. . . on YouTube Stands Up To IOC Over Free Tibet Video · · Score: 1

    Heh.

    It always makes me chuckle when I see a "Free Tibet" bumper sticker and an "End War" (or similar) bumper sticker right next to each other on the same car.

    It makes we wonder how the owner of the stickers would handle reality if somebody actually started bombing China in order to liberate Tibet.

  19. Re:Ok, ok. We'll be balanced. on 30% of Americans Want "Balanced" Blogging · · Score: 1

    Windows runs on vacuum cleaners now?

  20. Re:republicans favoring less government involvemen on 30% of Americans Want "Balanced" Blogging · · Score: 1

    > Is it really such a burden to expect people to use their brains?

    Yes.
    Feelings are in vogue, these days.

  21. Re:Will this include issues such as on 30% of Americans Want "Balanced" Blogging · · Score: 1

    > You mention the Earth's shape.

    Well, it's a cube. I want equal time.

  22. Re:Democrats trying to turn us into a nanny state on 30% of Americans Want "Balanced" Blogging · · Score: 1

    I agree. Government should not use coercive power to ban smoking in private workspaces.
    Let the insurance companies (who provide health and worker's compensation insurance) do the coercion.

  23. Re:"despite being a comedy program" on Measuring the "Colbert Bump" · · Score: 1

    What?
    Make all the movies you want, but there are no real zombies.

    Your peer-reviewed journals popped into existence just last Tuesday too. The existence of peer-reviewed articles hypothesize a Big Bang were also predicted by my hypothesis and are consistent with it. :-)
