  1. Cough - Florida - Cough on US's First Internet Votes To Be Cast This Friday · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Don't screw it up again, you guys!!

  2. Re:What UFO conspiracy theorists REALLY want on UK UFO Sightings Declassified, Still No Intergalactic Relations · · Score: 1

    Oh great, 1 in 4 is an alien.

    Well I know I'm not, so can the next 3 in line stand up and confess?

  3. Re:Maybe it's me on Dead Space Wants To Scare You · · Score: 1

    Doom 2 [and 1] wasn't designed with 'scary' as a primary goal. Keep in mind this was during the mid 90s, before Resident Evil made survival horror popular, and apparently invented the term "survival horror".

    And yes I'm aware of Alone in the Dark and some other predating it.

  4. Try Wikia on Web Singletons? · · Score: 3, Informative

    A lot of stuff that doesn't quite make it onto the regular Wiki is found here.

    It also hosts some very concise, fictional world Wikis, like Wookiepedia [Star Wars]. and Memory Alpha [Star Trek].

  5. Mars, atmosphere on Mars Lander Instrument Waving In the Martian Wind · · Score: 3, Informative

    Many seem to forget that Mars does possess an atmosphere. Therefore, has wind and other 'weather' phenomenon.

    Just not anything we can breathe, mostly carbon dioxide.

  6. Don't let it spill over - Just a game. on Rights To Virtual Property In Games? · · Score: 1

    It's like that old story about someone killing someone else in the "real world" [patent pending] over a dispute about a magic sword or something in an MMO. Insane.

    After all folks, it's just a game.

  7. Re:Perfect Time on National Debt Clock Overflowed, Extended By a Digit · · Score: 1

    Just like Zimbabwe [and other countries] "fixing" their hyperinflation by wiping out excess 0s, hmmm?

  8. Privacy on Court Rules That Palin Must Save Yahoo Emails · · Score: 1

    Not that I'm for the ditz, but isn't everyone entitled to their privacy? Even online.

    As in, being free to delete whatever non-work emails come to you.

  9. Just like after Katrina, etc on US Financial Quagmire Bringing Out the Scammers · · Score: 1

    Except with different motivations. This is still about greed.

  10. Re:Wow on NSA Whistleblowers Reveal Extent of Eavesdropping · · Score: 1

    This isn't the sort of thing any "free country" should do.

  11. Re:No good on XKCD Improving the Internet ... Yet Again · · Score: 1

    Yes, but they still won't do anything about it.

    It's like ignoring spellcheck but running it anyway.

  12. Re:finally! on Brainwave Controlled Game From Square Enix · · Score: 0

    Oh, I don't doubt the legions of MMO players need any more help in that area.

  13. Re:All these lists are insane on Maryland Police Put Activists' Names On Terror List · · Score: 1

    Especially the No Fly List, I'll add.

    It's like if you have a funny looking name, they'll boot you off the plane.

  14. No more imports for you on Nintendo DSi Software Will Be Region Locked · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Unless someone invents a workaround.

    And that's bound to happen.

  15. Re:Participate! on Give Up the Fight For Personal Privacy? · · Score: 1

    I agree. If you want to be a complete and total anon, get off the internet and wear a paper bag on your head.

    Otherwise, go with the flow or something.

  16. Not exactly any warning on Small Asteroid On Collision Course With Earth · · Score: 1

    You'd think any asteroid heading for our planet would garner at least a passing mention in the media, but no.

    And in the meantime, the LHC gets all the attention. What a world.

  17. Re:maybe it would be easier on Researchers To Build Underwater Airplane · · Score: 1

    Perhaps so. Been watching many Transformers episodes lately?

  18. The real question is on Can Static Electricity Generate Votes? · · Score: 5, Funny

    Is static electricity smarter than the average, uninformed voter?

  19. Re:Space Porn Bloopers on No Space Porn (For Now) · · Score: 1

    There's no up or down in space. It's all relative.

    Good news for some, no doubt.

  20. Re:GBA slot will be missed. on New Nintendo DSi Announced · · Score: 1

    Except only a handful of titles rely on the GBA slot.

    Needs of the many vs needs of the few, maybe?

  21. Re:Check your own logic before calling others craz on Fossett's Plane Found · · Score: 1

    Although it greatly diminishes it.

    Not easy to fly without a plane, you know?

  22. Re:It's a hoax, people. on Hikers May Have Found Fossett Items · · Score: 1

    At least we know it wasn't for the insurance money.

    He was pretty rich already.

  23. Re:I just got 2.4! on GIMP 2.6 Released · · Score: 1

    I use the other fork program, Gimpshop.

    Unfortunately, the last time I checked [a few weeks ago], there hasn't be an update to that for a while.

    Oh well, I can't complain, can I?

  24. Re:Quit hogging the Soyuz! on Space Tourist Simonyi Prepares For Second Flight · · Score: 1

    Oh nobody's stopping you.

    So long as you have a few million bucks lying around.

  25. Re:Not really news, happens all the time, everywhe on China Announces Launch-Success Details — Before Launch · · Score: 1

    Exactly. How else do you expect news stories about upcoming events to be out so quickly?
