    Giant space-sharks with fricken' laser beamz! Yeah baby!

  3. Re:No plug in support on Google Releases Chrome V2.0 · · Score: 5, Funny

    It's called GodBlock Plus, or atheism, by the masses.

  4. Re:Re-Entry on Microsoft Raises $3.8B in Bond Sale · · Score: 1

    Providing, of course, that the chairs survive re-entry. They would probably need to be encased in some kind of ceramic shell.

  6. Irrelevant on Handmade vs. Commercially Produced Ethernet Cables · · Score: 1

    Jeez. *bad pun* You guys are all crimping my style...

  7. Re:Introversion Software... on What Modern Games Are DRM-Free? · · Score: 1

    Lot's of alternate places to get the patches (legally)... Although they refer to them as 'Bonus packs'.

  8. DRM and reviews... on Will DRM Exterminate Spore? · · Score: 1

    I was going to buy this game, but the restrictive DRM, and the relatively bad reviews have put me off totally. It is sad because I was looking forward to 'purchasing' the game. Unfortunately I will not buy a product if my ability to install it is restricted in anyway. I frequently rebuild my computer, and due to some development work I also wipe and regularly reformat my system. I do not mind the online authentication such as Stardock uses, however I do mind the limitation on the number of installations. The other issue is with the reviews, many of which report the game as quite lacking in area's. I probably would have still purchased the game myself, just to see what it is like, but the DRM issue has totally killed that option dead.

  9. Re:The really scary part is... on UK ISPs To Hand Over Thousands of File Sharers' Data · · Score: 1

    A default judgment is not a decision on whether a given party is right or wrong and can still be 'vacated' or 'set-aside' at a later date. At this time nothing has actually been won.

  10. Static... bzzt!!! on Why Do We Have To Restart Routers? · · Score: 1

    A lot of the time it is due to either dry joints, overheating, or static buildup.

  11. Re: Sci-Fi Books For Pre-Teens? on Sci-Fi Books For Pre-Teens? · · Score: 1

    Corrupt them early. I think we are guilty of being a little too protectionist of our children these days. Get them used to the idea that life IS dark and cynical, and they will be well prepared for any future.

  12. Re:They forgot one... on Large Hadron Collider Sparks 'Doomsday' Lawsuit · · Score: 1

    No, you have it the wrong way around. The escaped convict was imprisoned under false pretences after finding out about a secret terrorist plot to destroy the world. Although the facility is goverment owned, all of the scientists there are compromised and working for the evil Dr Hypotenuse. In a desperate attempt to shut the machine down, the convict jumps into the collider, which supersaturates his body with hawking radiation and micro blackholes, and subsequently develops an allergy to cheesecake, which is his only weakness. Of course, we do not find this out until the end of the movie. All the way through we think of him as the bad guy until we get to the plot twist. The evil Dr Hypotenuse, meanwhile, is caught in the side effect of the explosion and also gets his own superpowers, whereby he turns into a shadowy near immortal multidimensional human shaped being made up of triangles. And of course he has a brain which helps. He knows The Convicts (thats his hero name) weakness, and proceeds to frame all of his evil activities of those said hero. We all know that if you throw a cheesecake at a blackhole, the complete improbability of the smooth creamy texture and the crumbly base, along with the amazing taste sensation, will cause a quantumn discontinuity at the blackholes singularity core, and cause the blackhole to explode. To be continued...
