  1. They already made this game on Open Source FPS Blood Frontier Releases Beta 2 · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    It's called quake 3

  2. Colorblind on "Universal Jigsaw Puzzle" Hits Stores In Japan · · Score: 1

    Not colorblind friendly for sure! One box of blank pieces please!

  3. Convert it to continuous feed inktanks on What Do You Do When Printers Cost Less Than Ink? · · Score: 4, Informative

    You can get a set of continuous ink tanks off ebay for about $50 that will give you enough ink capacity to print until the second coming.

  4. Re:Sulphur Dioxide to the rescue on New Research Forecasts Global 6C Increase By End of Century · · Score: 1

    You can't save the ponies AND the whales. Sometimes you have to choose the most edible one.

  5. Sulphur Dioxide to the rescue on New Research Forecasts Global 6C Increase By End of Century · · Score: 1

    20 million tons generates approximately 0.5 degrees of cooling when in the upper atmosphere.
    We'd have to loft 240 million tons of SO2, which could buy us time to clean up the CO2
    Of course one would want some safety measure in case an actual volcano erupted.
    So loft 200 tons.
    Hot sulfuric acid and copper shavings, you could make it at home.

  6. Simply about piracy on John Carmack Says No Dedicated Servers For Rage · · Score: 3, Informative

    They could give a damn about matchmaking. It's a trojan horse.
    They want everyone to use matchmaking, which really means they want everyone to use an authentication system.

  7. Microsoft silverlight on IT Snake Oil — Six Tech Cure-Alls That Went Bunk · · Score: 4, Insightful

    That went over real well once they saw user visits drop by almost half...

  8. Nothing can go wrong here! on Toyota Develops New Flower Species To Reduce Pollution · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Let's cross breed with kudzu! We can always just pull it up. I mean, Kudzu is so easy to get rid of, right?

  9. Finally ! on Can Nintendo Really Be Planning Another DS Variant? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I have asked nintendo in their surveys for such an improvement. Nice to see they listen.

  10. Getting old in IT is the kiss of death. on Moving Away From the IT Field? · · Score: 1

    How is it that our field is the only one where the older you get, the more worthless you are perceived as being?
    Everyone remembers an encounter with an old mainframe or similar tech guy showing up to install a T1 line or similar.
    all those years and he winds up punching wires for the last four years to make it to retirement.

    I'd rather cross the street to another career and enjoy the respect and admiration of my peers than endure the snickering of
    freshly minted paper certified system admins behind my back.

  11. I'll bet you five bucks... on New Optomechanical Crystal Allows Confinement of Light and Sound · · Score: 1

    How can the net amount of entropy of the universe be massively decreased? Please respond Optomechanical Crystal !

  12. Re:HERF? How about using hearing protection? on Revisiting DIY HERF Guns · · Score: 1

    The Sound weapons vibrate your skull. Short of whole head diving bell contraptions for 3000 people, what do you propose?

  13. HERF in action (videos) on Revisiting DIY HERF Guns · · Score: 2, Informative
  14. Re:Hmmm on Revisiting DIY HERF Guns · · Score: 1

    If only the world was so simple.

  15. Re:Tyranny on Revisiting DIY HERF Guns · · Score: 1

    It's clearly something they would object to, but short of violence, this is a very effective non-violent way of countering something offensive to any democratic peoples.
    Also, it can be made from a microwave oven, which every home has.

  16. Re:Tyranny on Revisiting DIY HERF Guns · · Score: 1

    Let's get some plans up then. I am sure some of our engineer friends can help us out a bit.

  17. I agree ! on Console Makers Worry Over Apple's Growing Competition · · Score: 3, Funny

    A $200 iphone + $1200 a year for service plus $50 for games. So much cheaper!

  18. We're doomed!! on Console Makers Worry Over Apple's Growing Competition · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Or at least the Wii is.

  19. Re:What would be the legality of doing the same? on G20 Protesters Blasted By "Sound Cannon" · · Score: 1

    Hahaha... ha...ho... sides hurt..
    According to the police they are breaking the law just standing there. I am sure doing the same to them would probably lead to some sort of "unfortunate" fatality being delivered upon yourself.

  20. Ascertain frequency from the youtube videos? on G20 Protesters Blasted By "Sound Cannon" · · Score: 1

    So we can calculate optimal parabolic countermeasures?

  21. HERF gun and countermeasures on G20 Protesters Blasted By "Sound Cannon" · · Score: 1

    Is it even possible to build a herf gun that could have the same range to counter this atrocity? For now, I advise the protesters to use sheets of plywood, blocking the sound with a solid surface that conducts sound poorly will defeat this.

  22. Re:Testing the limits of repression on G20 Protesters Blasted By "Sound Cannon" · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Haven't you already heard? Our politicians were deaf to the cries of the people LONG ago.

  23. Testing the limits of repression on G20 Protesters Blasted By "Sound Cannon" · · Score: 0, Troll

    When they start mounting these to the front of congress and the senate, we're screwed.

  24. Eye will pass, thanks. on MIT Microchip Could Someday Restore Vision · · Score: 1

    If this is as "great" as modern hearing aids, I will pass.
    I have no desire to live with "coleco vision" for the remainder of my life.

  25. Good luck with that on Intel To Challenge Android With Moblin For Mobile Devices · · Score: 1

    Yeah.... good luck. Overtime ahoy!!!
