  1. Re:New interface on Jobs Finally "Happy" With Unannounced Apple Tablet · · Score: 0, Troll

    This will further isolate the Windows users from this Apple device, as only Apple users have the highly trained sphincter muscles to be able to operate the device without any difficulty.

    Santa's in Newark, NJ.

    I hope he's careful, I have an anti-squirrel microwave laser on my roof...

    - Forced Induction (Blown)

    Give me 20 minutes with an air compressor and one of their marketing executives and I'll show them what forced induction is all about.

  4. Re:But in the big picture on Launching Frequently Key To NASA Success · · Score: 4, Informative

    I recall reading that an Abrams Tank gets 1 mile/gallon and has a 60 gallon tank.

    But then reading a bit into it, I'm wrong. (I'm probably thinking of a different tank.) The M1 Abrams gets 0.6 miles/gallon and has a fuel capacity of either 498 gallons or 505 gallons.

    A sumo wrestler on an ice cream binge is thinner than Java.

  6. Re:Why a decade later on The Definitive Evisceration of The Phantom Menace *NSFW* · · Score: 1

    I actually liked Episode 1 Racer. It's a bit challenging. Plus it's fun to use the secret flamethrower...

  7. Re:Odds of finding alien life? on Proposed NASA Mission Would Sail the Seas of Titan · · Score: 1

    And yet no one worries about Space Pirates, the greatest threat to intergalactic ships.

  8. Re:Monopoly or not. on Psystar Not Closing Up Shop · · Score: 1

    I'm sure there's a line or two about you having to go to arbitration instead of court in there somewhere. It's practically standard nowadays.

  9. Re:Just as a Matter of Principal on EU Demands Canada Rework Its Copyright, Patent Law · · Score: 1

    Isn't world government an inevitability, though? I believe we started this kinda shit with the League of Nations (cue citations of earlier examples). There's like, dozens of these multi-country kind of organizations. It's all one huge clusterfuck.

    IMO though, it's probably more likely that we'll get something like the 00 Gundam situation: Europe, North America, and Asia as three conglomerates of nations, and a whole lot of dirt-poor small countries left in the dust.

  10. Re:Cue the apologists... on EU Demands Canada Rework Its Copyright, Patent Law · · Score: -1, Troll

    It doesn't matter how strong the dollar is when you have the best-equipped military in the world and a shit-ton of nukes. You want the U.S. to be your friend. Those "America is the great satan" kinda politicians are a special forces raid away from a dirt nap.

  11. Re:Digital medical records on Microsoft Seeks Patent On Shaming Fat Gamers · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Man, someone needs to make a real-life D&D character sheet generator. Take I.Q., body fat, muscle mass, BMI, etc. into account and roll stats from that.

  12. Re:Just wow on DECAF Was Just a Stunt, Now Over · · Score: 1

    Keep in mind that there's Libertarians with a capital L and libertarians with a lowercase l. It's a subtle but important difference.

    Libertarians are, IMO, the nutjobs - the ones that believe in things like aboloshing private property and all social authority systems (governments, etc.).

    libertarians just want to be able to smoke up whatever the fuck without the government caring.

    But seriously, I consider myself a libertarian with a little L. I am rabidly against any nanny-state sort of laws. The government shouldn't have the right to tell me what I can or can not do with my own body and/or with another consenting adult (or adults, if I got lucky at the night club).

  13. Re:And to them I say on Google Says Ad Blockers Will Save Online Ads · · Score: 1

    More than a few websites have buried or altogether removed print view as it was a common workaround. Best part, though, are the ones that removed the link but not the code, so all you'd have to do is add something like ?ref=print into the URL to bring it up again anyway.

  14. Re:Can't wait on Heavy Rain Previews Show Promise · · Score: 2, Funny

    I hear they're also making a mobile version exclusive to the LG Chocolate.

  15. Re:Social Contract on Facebook Mafiosi Go To the Mattresses vs. Zynga · · Score: 1

    A lot of the games are not really prone to abuse or exploits AFAIK... Mafia Wars, for instance. To do anything - PvE, PvP, etc. - requires some sort of resource such as Energy or Stamina. It takes time for it to replenish, typically. I can't see how a powergamer would stress the resources other than using them as soon as they come into play.

  16. Re:From a former employee of Mark Pincus on Facebook Mafiosi Go To the Mattresses vs. Zynga · · Score: 1

    Zynga is basically the EA of Facebook...

  18. Re:Perfect trojan horse on Hackers Counter Microsoft COFEE With Some DECAF · · Score: 4, Insightful

    And even if they post code, they could just post any old source code and claim it was used to generate the executable.

    Well yeah, until someone who has an I.Q. greater than a water buffalo compiles the source code and finds out that it doesn't match up with the finished DECAF product...

    That's the point of having source code out there in the first place. It can be inspected for everything from your everyday uh-ohs to your big time no-nos.

    You could call it scisso.rs! (And yes, .rs is a real TLD.)

  20. Re:Communism on Cuba Jails US Worker Handing Out Laptops, Cellphones · · Score: 1

    Single party systems inevitably lead to human rights abuse.

    As an American, I can say that two party systems are constantly vying for a close second.

    Reasonable lawyers resorting to suing as a last resort?

    My God, the world is ending. Quick, I'll start looking up oceanic seismic sensor data for anything about the size of an Old One, and you look to the sky for the flaming hellfire!

  22. Re:No on Is Console Gaming Dying? · · Score: 1

    There's different kind of games. I'd have no problem playing, say, a Need For Speed game on my computer, but I'm pretty sure my friends would think it's a hassle to crowd around my PC to play Rock Band. I don't even have enough free USB ports with all my other game controllers and doodads.

    Console gaming will not die, but it will probably be rendered largely irrelevant in the near future IMO.

    Wouldn't negligence occasionally involve prosecuting victims?
