  1. Re:The Duke ain't PC on Duke Nukem Forever Multiplayer Mode Predictably Controversial · · Score: 1

    You forgot: "... who likes punching aliens in the balls."

    Who doesn't?

  2. What we don't want... on Domestic Use of Aerial Drones By Law Enforcement · · Score: 1

    "But what we don't want to see is their pervasive use to watch over the American people." Too late.

  3. Re:Use a real alarm clock on iPhone Alarms Hit By New Year's Bug · · Score: 1

    Why shouldn't I use a phone as an alarm clock?

    Did you not see the topic of this article? My plug in has never crapped out due to bugs. Looks like you can't say the same for that phone.

  4. Re:I'm totally in favor of this on 'No Refusal' DUI Checkpoints Coming To Florida? · · Score: 1

    The Fourth Amendment says people should be secure in their "persons, houses, papers, and effects." These are all clearly material things, and don't include the contents of your brain.

    100 million dental X-rays? Can't we use some standard unit, like Libraries of Congress?

  6. I propose on Antarctic Experiment Finds Puzzling Distribution of Cosmic Rays · · Score: 5, Funny

    We call this the "Microwave oven theory". Some areas get cooked to carbon, others are left frozen solid.

  7. Re:Wickedlasers? on Sony's Blue-Violet Laser the Future Blu-ray? · · Score: 1

    I'm so glad I wasn't the only one thinking of the more "entertaining" applications for this. But why in the hell would you want a 100 watt laser? I mean, besides the sharks.... what are you gonna do, make a Lego version of Real Genius?

  8. Re:Why? on James Cameron To Develop 3-D Camera For Mars Rover · · Score: 1

    When you are developing a robot with the possible goal of sniffing out alien life, its best to leave out references to human eradicating aliens and robots. At least I would.

  9. Re:The device is cheap, but the cartridges ... on Wake Forest Researchers Swap Skin Grafts For Cell Spraying · · Score: 1

    You have to get your hands dirty for a lot of science...

    But the science got done and we made a neat gun for the mice who are still alive!

    Punches, gunshots and stabbing? I recommend we up the power on this thing and require everyone accessing the internet to wear one.

  12. Re:Why not upgrade the graphics? on Mega Man 10 Confirmed For WiiWare · · Score: 1

    Because some of us who have been playing this series for twenty-plus years are used to the game as it sits damn near down to pixel count and just how many toes Megaman needs to keep on a ledge to not fall off.

  13. Re:Not Quite. on Cooking May Have Made Us Human · · Score: 1

    fittest is technically speaking physical fitness. and in evolution survival of the fittest does not apply to intellect, as in other species the most intelligent one usually lose (why there are no talking lions (lol).

    Really? Then how did we become the "fittest" species on the planet when we can't outrun a housecat, much less something bigger that sees us as food?

    Can we imply the inverse: people with big mouths have small brains and prefer sushi?

    Only if they don't cook the rice.

  15. Ah, Retrogaming... on New 2D, HD Sonic Game Coming In 2010 · · Score: 1

    The Coca-Cola Classic of video games. When you've got a great formula, don't go changing it.

  16. Re:Understanding on NASA To Team Up With Russia For Future Mars Flight · · Score: 1

    And somehow a hair over 200 years ago, a group of independent "nations" as it were found a way to be unified. They called it a "more perfect union" I believe, knowing that it would never be perfect but its people would always strive towards it. How did they do it? They sat down and hashed it out... like human beings should.

    A unified planet is inevitable. Whereas you might not see what you have to gain, many other nations and their people do. Saying that you don't want others to join you there because it doesn't jive with your world is, quite frankly, selfish.

    If crocs could somehow work space travel into their lifestyle, this could lead to something...

    They've already done this for air travel. Unfortunately it's called "luggage". I don't think their plan was thought out very well.

    Speaking of Shin Megami Tensei... I bet, like me, you'd kill for that unnumbered Devil Summoner 2 special edition sitting on his desk.

    It is actually a very interesting way to learn to not give in to annoying behaviour.

    This alone tells me that you'll be one of the few parents that raise good kids.

    And a decent moderator, too.

    That's like taking 6 months of the Iraq war funding and just burning it.

    You repeat yourself.

  21. Re:I hope everyone is learning an important lesson on NASA To Trigger Massive Explosion On the Moon In Search of Ice · · Score: 1

    It's ok to blow things up if you just want to know if "there is water there."

    For instance, I just blew up a watermelon 'to see if there was water in there.' It was moist, leading me to believe that there is, in fact, water in there. Then I blew up a junk yard Ford Pinto so I could verify that there was not, in fact, "water in there." As I suspected, there wasn't.

    You blew up the wrong Pinto.

  22. Re:No. on Does the Wii Provide A "Watered-Down" Game Experience? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    No.

    The Megadrive, SNES, Cell Phones, and Game Boy all have exceptional games created for them. The only difference between those devices and the WII is that the WII almost requires you to use the motion capture controller and while we've spent over thirty years designing games using joysticks, controllers, and similarly keyboards this motion capture thing is still very new.

    Let's also consider, that because out of the top three platforms only one supports motion capture, you might see less of a return on your investment as opposed to just creating a traditional game with existing code and hitting the 360, PS3, and PC.

    TLDR: - Technology - Creativity - Existing Code / Legacy - And most of all MONEY

    Stand in the way of exceptional games on the WII.

    It's called the "Classic Controller". It allows you to play a game in the traditional method. So does flipping the Wiimote sideways.

    The problem is that developers see this motion sensing technology and scream "GIMMICK! WE MUST IMPLEMENT GIMMICK!!!!"

  23. Re:Why does the gov care? on $33 Million In Poker Winnings Seized By US Govt · · Score: 1

    Why do they care about poker but not about many other legal forms of gambling? What makes online poker worthy of the government's time? Are they using the criminal law to prop up government sponsored monopolies in gambling?

    One word: Lottery.

  24. Re:Wont work. on $33 Million In Poker Winnings Seized By US Govt · · Score: 1

    Governments, however, do. And are able to monitor such activity. Having your house seized as 'proceeds of illegal activity' is something that would very utterly negate the benefit of using offshore banks.

    Really? Last time I looked, activities concerning money in non-US banks, illegal gambling and seizure of homes was all the norm these days.
