  1. Re:Quick mouth? on Trap-Jaw Ants Break Speed Records With Jaws · · Score: 1

    Quick to turn you down?

  2. Re:Patents... on Mementos as Document Retrieval Keys · · Score: 1

    Whoa
    Good one

  3. What *I* care about on Playstation 3 Gathering Components · · Score: 1

    I think it should also have 2 TV outs... or 4 even
    Hell, if I have 4 controllers, 4 players, and 4 TVs... I want to use them. It would kick ass to be able to play that way.

  4. Re:It has little to do with consumer reports . . . on Toyota to Move to All Hybrid Vehicles By 2012 · · Score: 1

    [blockquote]Then, here in the U.S., we have a surplus of Japanese hybrid vehicles that need to be sold, so they go for thousands of $$$ less than American cars -- even American fuel cell or hybrid attempts![/blockquote]
    That couldn't be more untrue... that is not what's happening. Havent you noticed that (at least in Canada) a 93 Civic is like 7k, whereas for 7k you can get a 98 Cavalier. They're comparable cars... but in such cases the domestic is always substatially cheaper.

  5. Re:How about just sending them back? on One Million AOL discs to be returned to AOL · · Score: 1

    Pfft You can do better than that
    Tape the pre-paid envelope to a brick and put it in the mailbox

  6. Marry you... F*** you? on History of Video Games · · Score: 1

    with the Marufuku Company (later Nintendo)

    Geez.... I doubt they had any english people around when they chose that name

  7. konqueror? so? on Site Review: 2002 Olympics · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    The site doesn't appear to work at all with konqueror.
    That's not a problem with the website, that's a problem with the program. If Netscape and IE work, konqueror developers should be able to make their browser work.... or at least stop bitching about it.

  8. Huh? on Complete PC instead of a Car Stereo · · Score: 4, Offtopic

    Lots of interesting hacking ideas here for people who prefer to spend more time in their cars then me ;)
    Uhh.... I spend a LOT more time in my car than I spend in you....

  9. Re:Bad, bad idea to deploy this technology on Stealth Aircraft Useless? · · Score: 1

    Prisoners in low-security prisons are doing fine, but the people stuck in rape-your-ass-federal prisons are much worse off than you. Unless you enjoy taking it from behind.

  10. Re:Heh, FP on Diesel Cars - High-Tech Low Tech · · Score: 1

    The base models aren't so bad, but the Sis are really bad on gas. People generally get between 16-22MPG in daily driving because the VTEC power doesn't come until the RPMs are really high. Because of this, milage is only good if you accelarate slowly... defeating the purpose of buying an Si.


  11. Rights? on Would Fonzie Sell You A Lexus? · · Score: 1

    Don't the actors have any rights, even in death? Who is responsible for making sure the images of the dead aren't used inapproprately? Nothing would really stop some company from putting Marilyn Monroe and JFK in a porn together, which isn't cool at all if you're the family.

  12. Re:This looks like a Good Thing on Technology vs. Cheating at the University of Virginia · · Score: 1

    It's very easy to rearrange the words in a sentence to retain the meaning and trick the program. I did this for almost every essay in highschool... the teachers knew, but they couldn't stop it because it's impossible to find paraphrased material through any computer search.

  13. Re:I wonder how the reception is on Satellite Radio Network · · Score: 1

    Your receiver wouldn't be broadcasting a signal to tell the source to repeat the part of the song that you missed, so 30 seconds after the overpass your 30 second buffer would be empty and you'd still have a "skip".

  14. Re:RE it like cuecat! If you get 2, can u link the on Free Cable Modem From The Shack · · Score: 1

    If by up you mean down, and by clever you mean stupid, then yes.


  15. Sounds like vapor... on Floppy CDs And DVDs? · · Score: 2

    If the disk had any bend in it when it was being read by the CDROM drive, I don't believe the laser would be reflected at the angle needed to read the disk. This would cause slow, unreliable data transfer at best, and make the format completely useless at worst.

  16. Re:Stupid. (Then, how many patents aren't?) on BountyQuest vs. Stupid Patent Ideas · · Score: 1

    The patent is not ... on '1-click' shopping, but on single-action-to-purchase' shopping

    Well that's fine, if a button press is one action, and a button release is a second action....


  17. Too bad... on Enigma-like Device Patent Granted - 67 Years Later · · Score: 1

    Too bad they didn't do this with a couple notable software patents.... the world would be a better (well, ok, more convinient) place.

    -$lacker

  18. Re:Traditional Karma Whoring on Rock-Paper-Scissors · · Score: 1

    Yeah, see, Signal knows how it's done. You wanna know how to karma whore? You go to him. Kid knows all the ins and outs

  19. Re:VIRUS Definition on Is Virus Spreading Criminal? · · Score: 1

    It says may replicate.... if you give the original program to someone else (the game it's attatched to, or whatever) then it will have been replicated, even tho it doesn't seem like a necessary thing.

  20. People don't get the joke.... on Horribly Bad Game Designs · · Score: 1

    It's DOS, like the prompty thing. Geez people, don't compare it to other games... that's just sad.

  21. Printed is usefull for some stuff on Are Printed Manuals Dead? · · Score: 1

    Think about it, if I only have an online copy of the manual for the moniter I want to install...
    On the other hand, if I'm installing software, I'd rather have a search function...

  22. Re:CD-ROM based distro... on Making Your Own Linux · · Score: 1

    "With an 80min CDR blank (which fits nicely into my wallet)"? I hate to be the one to tell you this.... but Dude, you've got a purse

  23. I know on Plans For Massive Web Tracking Via ISPs · · Score: 1

    Dude, it's Mr Bill "knowledge is power" Gates....

  24. Proof possible? on Grok Goldbach, Grab Gold · · Score: 1

    With a conjecture such as this, isn't it impossible to find a proof without trying every even number bigger than 4, up to infinity?

  25. Miniturization is overrated on Sony Cigar-Sized MP3 Player · · Score: 1

    Well, not really miniturization, but I'm thinking that if they can have a pen size memory stick hold 64 megs, I'd rather have a stick the size of 5 pens holding 320 megs of music. Just cuz we can make it smaller doesn't mean we have to...

    Too lazy to write .sigs
