  1. Re:Too big for 1 hand, so how do you type on Freescale Unveils Design For $199 Tablet · · Score: 1

    Sounds like you've never used anything too big for one hand.

  2. Can someone please explain the crossover here? on Man Pleads Guilty To Selling Fake Chips To US Navy · · Score: 5, Funny

    The chips were then sold to Naval Sea Systems Command, the Washington, D.C., group responsible for maintaining the US Navy's ships and systems, as well as an unnamed vacuum-cleaner manufacturer in the Midwest.

    Has our Navy gone from suck to blow?

  3. No Gods on Has Conficker Been Abandoned By Its Authors? · · Score: 1

    No Masters.

  4. Re:Thank you iPhone app. on Time On Social Networks Almost Doubles In a Year · · Score: 1

    Yeah yeah. I finally gave in. I found it a useful "tool" to follow bands and smaller record labels on their current releases and news.

  5. Thank you iPhone app. on Time On Social Networks Almost Doubles In a Year · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I didn't really spend a lot of time on Facebook until I purchased an iPhone. Now with the app for that and Twitter, I find myself spending more time on these sites than normally due to accessibility. Kinda common sense comes into play here.

  6. Re:Darklands? on Vintage Games · · Score: 1

    Thanks! I was linked to Underdogs from the main Darklands fan site and the site looked down. Working now.

  7. Darklands? on Vintage Games · · Score: 1

    No Darklands either. This game consumed a lot of nights during high school. Super customizable characters and gameplay for that time. I'm trying to find a copy that I can run on DosBox or something similar. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darklands_(video_game)

  8. Long time ago.... on GE Introduces 500GB Holographic Disks · · Score: 1

    Now if they could only replicate the technology from a Jedi holocron.

  9. iPhone on How to Charge Your Cellphone Using Wasted Heat · · Score: 1

    Great! Something to finally help the terrible battery life on my 3G.

  10. Re:Star Wars the Phantom Menace on Strange Glitches In Games · · Score: 1

    This game upset me so much. When you're trying to get Anakin to join your group and you get attacked, he says "I wont help a murderer". So annoying.

  11. Re:Stickers... on How Do I Make My Netbook More Manly? · · Score: 1

    Well he's really not trying to compensate for anything with a 10 inch laptop.

  12. Re:Bullets vs. Energy beams on Finding Twin Earths Is Harder Than We Thought · · Score: 1

    Kill the head and the body will die.

  13. Re:That's a shame on 17 Million People Stopped Buying CDs In 2008 · · Score: 1

    T-shirts, posters, and other non-media merch has a better profit margin for bands. Shirts normally cost 3-6 bucks to make and they can easily sell them for 10-15 dollars. CDs and records have normally only a 1-2 dollar mark up. When you're on tour, taking shirts are a lighter load when space is tight. I'm not saying don't bring/sell cds, but shirts will normally outsell CDs when you're touring.

  14. Records and Tapes on 17 Million People Stopped Buying CDs In 2008 · · Score: 1

    I know this only applies to about 1% (if that) of the market, but I have mainly purchased records in the past 2 years. Discographies have been the only CD I have bought, which normally contain out of print materials. I have noticed even some of the bigger retailers, like Best Buy, starting to carry LPs again. The great thing about LPs is that they normally come with a digital download coupon.

  15. Wait... on Utah Mulls a Database of Bar Customers · · Score: 5, Funny

    Tourism? In Utah?

  16. Re:Caffeine addict on 3 Cups of Coffee Increases Hallucinations · · Score: 1

    Kidney stones ahoy!

  17. Hopefully... on Researchers One Step Closer To Creating Life · · Score: 1

    This doesn't end up like that scene in Alien Resurrection where Ripley finds all her failed clones.

  18. I wonder if... on First Flight of Jet Powered By Algae-Fuel · · Score: 5, Funny

    the plane could fly solely using two African swallows with a string around the plane, such as they would if they were carrying coconuts.

  19. I'm going to fight it, but I'll let it live. on "Smash Your Hard Drive" To Fight Identity Theft · · Score: 1

    What about my dynamite?

  20. Re:The idiot who reported them on Overzealous AirTran Boots 9 Passengers Off · · Score: -1, Troll

    It doesn't really matter their race, religion, etc etc...If anyone is talking about a "bomb" or what have you, they should be reported. Better safe and late then dead and never arriving.

  21. Awesome! on Scientist Patents New Method To Fight Global Warming · · Score: 1

    They are going to turn Earth into a giant mist tent! Goodbye summer heat and sorrows.

  22. Doing the work yourself... on Recession Pushes IT To Find New Value In Old Gear · · Score: 1

    They do, however, offer decent warranties, so if you can do some of the work yourself, you'll probably be OK. Damn! I was hoping for a Plug and Play server.

  23. Re:Wow, a complete business plan. on Microsoft Knew About Xbox 360 Damaging Discs · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Step 5: Rip off Best Buy/Walmart/etc by saying you just got the game as a gift and it won't read. They replace the bad disc with a brand new one. Works 99% of the time.

  24. Stop Delaying the Apocalypse on Photos of the Damage To the Large Hadron Collider · · Score: 0, Redundant

    The interest rates on my credit cards is getting outta hand and I was hoping the LHC would help change this.

  25. Re:Or maybe on Birth of the Moon: a Runaway Nuclear Reaction? · · Score: 5, Funny

    Actually they used DC-8. The 737 didn't come out til like 10 million years later!
