  1. Jethro Tull said it best on Obesity May Accelerate Brain Aging · · Score: 1

    Dont want to be a fat man,
    People would think that I was just good fun.
    Would rather be a thin man,
    I am so glad to go on being one.

    Too much to carry around with you,
    No chance of finding a woman who
    Will love you in the morning and,
    all the night time too.

    Dont want to be a fat man,
    Have not the patience to ignore all that.
    Hate to admit to myself half of my problems
    Came from being fat.


    Wont waste my time feeling sorry for him,
    I seen the other side to being thin.
    Roll us both down a mountain
    And Im sure the fat man would win.

  2. Re:1M bail and 1yr in jail...? on 3 of 4 Charges Against Terry Childs Dropped · · Score: 1

    Also, is a partial "moral victory" really worth an entire year of your short life span?

    Is these times? Fuck yes.

  3. Re:WoW and Realms on Ask Blizzard About Starcraft2, Diablo III, WoW, or Battle.net · · Score: 1

    aside from the current "Paid Character Transfer"

    What more do you want? Portals to different realms? Sorry, stupid question, it's a non-issue.

  4. What do you suggest then? on First American Internet Addiction Treatment Center · · Score: 1

    I'm seeing a lot of ignorant posts in this thread about the cost and 'easier' solutions.

    First off, the standard 28 days for a drug addiction costs much more than $15,000.

    Secondly, I saw a post saying "Cancel. Your. Internet. Service." Would you tell a drug addict to just stop buying drugs?

    Maybe being addicted to the internet is not a true addiction. But short of LOLDONTGOONTHEWEB what else would you people suggest for someone with a problem?

  5. Re:Beatles and their drug use on While My Guitar Gently Beeps · · Score: 1

    Not a good idea to let the youth of the nations know that their heroes ate LSD like candy back in the days.

    Why?

  6. Re:Interesting on Facial Expressions Are "Not Global" · · Score: 1

    it is pretty readily identifiable as a "happy" icon

    I always thought it was surprise or disappointment. It looks like a straight mouth with raised eyebrows.

  7. Re:Poor Planet on A Planet That Orbits Its Star the Wrong Way · · Score: 1

    Kill it with fire!

  8. Re:And nothing of value got lost? on Nearby, Recent Interplanetary Collision Inferred · · Score: 3, Funny

    Invasion is scheduled for next Tuesday.

    Must be waiting for Microsoft to releasing a patch for their retrocatalytic ion phaser driver.

  9. Re:Outstanding. on UK National ID Card Cloned In 12 Minutes · · Score: 1

    Most grocery stores where I live (Wisconsin) card everyone. Literally, 70 year olds included. Had a 60-70 year old in front of me carded for a 12 pack once and he laughed and said "Lady, I could buy alcohol when you were just a stain on the sheets." Or something to that effect. I can't wait to be an old fart.

  10. Emergency! on Twitter, Facebook DDoS Attack Targeted One User · · Score: 1

    a pair of Russian submarines loaded with nuclear missiles were recently patrolling off the East Coast of the United States

    and hilarity ensued!

  11. Re:Source code on Playing a First-Person Shooter Using Real Guns · · Score: 3, Insightful

    You could also use a broom, but the whole point of this was using a projectile.

  12. Re:Source code on Playing a First-Person Shooter Using Real Guns · · Score: 1

    You couldn't use blanks, there is no projectile.

  13. Re:There. Fixed that for you. on Can We Build a Human Brain Into a Microchip? · · Score: 0, Troll

    Right, cause god and the bible is totally relevant to this discussion...

  14. Re:Legalization on Philips Develops Roadside Drug-Testing Device · · Score: 1
    I'm not even going to finish reading your post. Doing what I had to do to get out of a program when I was a minor and doing what I had to do to to please a judge does not mean I believe any of that shit, or am still sober.

    Give yourself a little credit and stop giving credit to a fruity little group for your own work!

    Yeah, I do.

    This friend of mine made a game. It's a mat and on it are a bunch on conclusions...

  15. Re:Legalization on Philips Develops Roadside Drug-Testing Device · · Score: 1

    Your higher power can not be anything.

    Wrong. I went through the 28 days of inpatient TWICE and 3 months of outpatient (halfway house). I told them there was no way in hell I was going to claim to believe in a god because I'd be lying and that would defeat the whole point. They were fine with nature/laws of physics being mine.

    Not to say that the whole program isn't run by quacks.

  16. Re:anything worth doing on Large Hadron Collider Struggling · · Score: 1

    You know, that's an interesting idea.

    Imagine if the high energy would send particles back in time or create too many tachyons or something, making a paradox like the grandfather problem, so the universe won't ever let it power up!

  17. Re:oh sit down and stfu on Student Sues University Because She's Unemployable · · Score: 5, Funny

    pretty much all collages help graduates find jobs

    Are you serious? Shit! I knew I should have listened to my mom when she told me to save all of my artwork from elementary school.

  18. Im no scientist on Possible Meteorite Imaged By Opportunity Rover · · Score: 3, Insightful

    But shouldn't there be a bigass crater with a meteorite that big?

  19. Re:Even the blind... on Prototype Vehicle For the Blind · · Score: 4, Funny

    Even the blind can see that this is a bad idea.

    No, they can't.

  20. Re:Family perpetrators on iPhone App Tracks Sex Offenders · · Score: 1

    Without saying % of what, we don't know what you are talking about. 90% of males? 40% of children? % of what?

  21. Re:Good on China Bans Games That "Glorify Gangsters' Lives" · · Score: 1

    Do you hold that view about movies, books, music, and TV Shows that portray gangesters and other such characters in any way, as well?

    No.

    It's people like you who not only are unable to determine the difference between reality and fiction, but assume that others are similarly impaired and must be 'protected', that are truly the most monsterous threats to real human freedoms.

    Wat?

    You disgust me.

  22. Good on China Bans Games That "Glorify Gangsters' Lives" · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I've never understood why people think being 'gangsta' is cool. Being 'gangsta' is being willfully ignorant and talking like you're retarded.

    Get off of my fucking lawn.

  23. You're missing the point on Gamerscore Hacking and Its Underground Economy · · Score: 2, Insightful

    If you take sport seriously, can you still call it a game?

    I hate it when people say this, I hear it all the time (along the lines of "it's just a game").
    Ever play poker for 'fun'? As in m&m's or peanuts instead of money?
    It doesn't work. It's not fun because there is no risk, no 'seriousness'.
    Games are meant to be taken 'seriously'. Competition is what makes them fun.

    I think I understand what you're saying, but that statement is just way too broad.

  24. Don't push it on How To Help With a University ICT Strategy? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    How does one promote open source in a managerial culture?

    By using it only when it's the best solution. Don't push it if it's not the best tool for the job.
