  1. Re:Robot Snakes on A Modular Snake Robot · · Score: 1

    Imagine it crawling into your bed...

  2. Another Snake on A Modular Snake Robot · · Score: 1

    http://youtube.com/watch?v=cJuNe50uuzk

    IMO, this one looks cooler. Kinda hisses too.

  3. I see... on The Cuban Memory Stick Underground · · Score: 5, Funny

    I see that your memory stick is as big as mine.

  4. Never again... on Brain Scanner Can Tell What You're Looking At · · Score: 1

    You'll never be able to hide the porn you're looking at ever again.

  5. Solid Snake on A Modular Snake Robot · · Score: 1

    Okay, that's really cool, but does it eat apples? :P

    Anyway, I watched the snake hanging on a horizontal pipe in the upper area of a room. Maybe they could be used as mobile security cameras that could follow a susipcious person or possibly, if it can, communicate to other snakes about the problem.

    Hmmm... this brings a whole new meaning to name: "Solid Snake."

  6. *sigh* on Statue of Galileo Planned for Vatican · · Score: 1

    It's funny, no one ever mentions that many of these early scientists like Galileo were
    1) Religious
    2) Did it to prove God existed.

    Yet people are interested in mentioning the other side.

  7. Nice. on Will Mars be a One-way Trip? · · Score: 1

    Sounds fun, though, why one-way? Do we want this person to die out there, and for what cause? Just to start on a colony on Mars (Rhyme not intended)? Or just to have a human experience a new planet for him/herself? These are daunting questions, and who has the answers?

  8. Re:I asked GOD on 'Death Star' Aimed at Earth · · Score: 1

    You're fairly incorrect. The Hebrew translation of the word that comes out as "day" can also be translated as "time" or "period." My speculations are that the reason why the Lord and Moses had it be "days" instead of "times" or "periods" they used "day" to emphasize the fact that God rested on the 7th day to the Israelites.

    The number 7 also has a symbolic meaning: "Whole, complete." So it's either 7 "times" or "periods," each of unknown length (it's obvious that "days" wouldn't be accurate in calculating the Earth's age unless you went by the Lord's definition of "days."), or it is wholly symbolic.

  9. This... on Security Holes In Google's Android SDK · · Score: 1

    Needs more jiggawats.

  10. He just so happens to be... on Psychologist Beating Math Nerds in Race to Netflix Prize · · Score: 1

    Just a guy who happens to own everyone else. ^_^

  11. Re:Will it work on... on IE8 Will Be Standards-Compliant By Default · · Score: 1

    I'm not sure. We'll just have to wait and see.

  12. Yes, it has. on D&D Co-Creator Gary Gygax Has Passed Away · · Score: 1

    My life has changed ever since I started DnD. I love to role-play now and I have DnD every Saturday with my family and friends, and yes, we do role-play. I also have online friends I role-play with through Neverwinter Nights, forum thread RPGS, and the whacky chat RPs that happen in my channel (they have forbidden crossover characters, like Sasami, and Shadow the Hedgehog, to some of our own made up DnD characters we made from Icewind Dale I, II and Baldur's Gate II).

  13. Re:What do you think? on Should RIAA Investigators Have To Disclose Evidence? · · Score: 1

    According to straight law as I can remember. They must present some sort of evidence for their claims. Otherwise, their claims are as good as hearsay evidence: nothing at all.

  14. Re:Wait, what? on Probe Captures Avalanche on Mars · · Score: 3, Insightful

    True, but we've never witnessed an avalanche on Mars before. Now that's pretty cool (no pun intended). This does not, however, necessarily show that the planet is active. As far as plate tectonics on Mars go--it's dead. :/

  15. 30 minutes until we're in range. on 'Death Star' Aimed at Earth · · Score: 1

    "30 minutes until we're in range of the Earth."
    "No, I say we're in range now."
    *Jupiter, and Mars are destroyed, and on earth*
    "... Oh crap."

  16. Re:Will it work on... on IE8 Will Be Standards-Compliant By Default · · Score: 1

    What makes you so certain it'll be Vista-only?

  17. Re:Will it work on... on IE8 Will Be Standards-Compliant By Default · · Score: 1

    You think that type of degrading talk would convince him? No, it'd just alienate him. For one thing, your words suggest he's stupid. My experience as friend to him says "no, he's not." He's actually very intelligent. Flamebaiting me into trying to change my friend's mind is extremely low. Stop it, and leave him alone. When I asked, I asked for my friend's sake, not my own. Not to prove him wrong, not to prove others wrong. I was doing it because I care about him.

  19. Ancient problem solved. on Mathematician Solves a Big One After 140 Years · · Score: 1

    "And verily in that day, it came to pass that the doctors rattled their canes and rejoiced." (Old Matth 3:14)

  20. Re:It's a trap! on IE8 Will Be Standards-Compliant By Default · · Score: 1

    IT'S A TRAP! [/Ackbar] This one deserves a funny.

  21. Re:Will it work on... on IE8 Will Be Standards-Compliant By Default · · Score: 1

    I guess I take that as a no. :/

  22. Will it work on... on IE8 Will Be Standards-Compliant By Default · · Score: 1

    Windows 2000 perchance? I have a friend who has major problems with the net on various sites due to the fact that they did not allow IE7 on anything older than XP. This put him in a corner (and no, he won't swap browsers, just don't talk about it, don't ask. Period) that he can't get out of. So, will the new IE8 be available for older OSes? He doesn't have the money to upgrade. :/

  23. A fake student... on Industry Group Sponsors College Course To Create Fake Blog · · Score: 1

    As opposed to a real student?

  24. O_o on Building an IT Infrastructure Around Mars · · Score: 1

    Talk about long distance. Maybe they should go wireless. Anyway, this idea is plain cool to me; an astronomy-lover fanatic. I have NO idea what they would do with it, but it'd still be cool to have an IT server around our planet just around the block in the Sol System neighborhood (wow, that sounds cheesy. Oh well, I always say 'Corn and Cheese makes the world go 'round').

  25. Re:as ass boobs on Cyber-Goggles Record and Identify Every Object You See · · Score: 2, Funny

    I see that a lot of women post here.
