  1. Godfather III on The Mafia Everquest Connection · · Score: 1

    I saw Godfather III for the first time a few years ago, and I couldn't take Joe Mantegna's character seriously because I kept picturing Fat Tony.

  2. Credit on Buy Your Own Aircraft Carrier · · Score: 1

    Would you then have a GNU/Aircraft Carrier?

    Credit where credit's due. Afterall, where would carriers be without Stallman?

  3. Oh yeah?! on President Of India Advocates OSS · · Score: 1

    My president can beat your president up!

  4. Re:hmmm... on Canadian Census: 20,000 Jedi Worshippers · · Score: 2, Informative

    The US government is Constitutionally prohibited from sanctioning any state religion. In recent decades that has been bastardized into not recognizing any religion.

    "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion..." Seems pretty straight forward to me.

  5. Re:Original idea on Six Monkeys And An Old Saw · · Score: 1

    But the existance of Earth does not preclude there being any other Earth-like planets. So maybe:

    A true random number generator that will pick from the set of even numbers. Given an infinite number of generations, the prime, 2, should occur more than once.

  6. Re:Best game EVER. on What Games Have Actually Affected You? · · Score: 1

    Worst part is the inability to play evil. I was all about going to Hong Kong to kill Tracer Tong.

  7. Re:Whitey's on the Moon on Revolution is not an AOL Keyword* · · Score: 3, Funny

    A moose once bit my sister...

  8. Re:I'm on Atkins, it kicks ass on Lose Weight The Slow, Boring Way · · Score: 1

    I've been hypoglycemic all my life, the shakes you get are because you have low blood sugar!

    And what hormone lowers blood sugar? Insulin. Eat too many carbs for too long and suddenly skip a meal and your blood sugar levels will come crashing down. The solution is to reduce your carb intake to ultimately control insulin levels.

  9. Re:Liberties abroad, accept at home on False Information A-Okay in Primary FBI Database · · Score: 1

    We should not except these changes and how they effect us. We should affect new rules, accept where the old ones are still sufficient.

  10. Re:Farscape's Replacement on Farscape Finale Tonight · · Score: 1

    Actually, it has already attracted a lawsuit.

  11. Re:Scud Missles launched on Updates on War in Iraq · · Score: 1

    The inspectors were NOT there to disarm Iraq. They were there to prove compliance. Saddam failed.

  12. Re:Not How its Supposed To Be on Strike on Iraq · · Score: 1

    That's like saying because you caught your wife cheating on you, you're responsible for the divorce.

    The UN and EU are weakened because France is trying to make a play to become relevant again. Do you think they give a damn about Iraq? Or taking military action not sanctioned by the UN? They are the ones who threatened to veto anything that established a timeline. They are the ones who tried to silence the eastern european countries like they were unruly children and threatened their memberships if they dare go against France.

    Yes, it is sad that the UN and EU have been weakened. Just make sure you're pointing the finger in the right direction.

  13. Re:Michael Moore's Letter to Governor Bush on Strike on Iraq · · Score: 1

    First, the UN is not a democracy. At best, it's at least twice removed from the people.

    Second, the UN is a farce. Iraq heading the disarmament committee and Libya chairing the human rights commission? Hello?!

    Third, when was the last time France even tried to get UN support for their military actions? (Answer: never.)

  14. Re:Games!!! on BlackRhino Linux Now Available for PlayStation 2 · · Score: 1

    Controllers these days almost have enough buttons.

  15. In the end... on Immortal Code · · Score: 1

    there can be only one.

  16. Re:Edison was a jerk on Slashback: :CueCat, Exercise, Wormage · · Score: 1

    In Britain ordinary household lightbulbs have a bayonet attachment

    Oh, they bitch about our gun laws, but you can plug knives in their lightbulbs?!

  17. Re:enforcement? on Finnish Taxi Drivers Must Pay Music Royalties · · Score: 1

    Or alot of cabbie suddenly start carrying around portable radios with cigarette lighter power adapters. If I spent my whole day at work in a car, I couldn't imagine not having something to listen to all day.

  18. Re:Wow. How disgusting. on ALICE vs. ALICE · · Score: 1

    Jokes about how men only think with their dicks is along the same vein (pun intended), yet they're generally accepted and don't cause much of an uproar.

  19. Re:Unsustainable? on Slashback: Bugfixed, Attribution, Atkins · · Score: 1

    Actually, eating nothing but protein will knock you out of ketosis, assuming you eat a "normal" amount of calories.

  20. Re:duh on Slashback: Bugfixed, Attribution, Atkins · · Score: 1

    Gee, it's a good thing that vegetables such a broccoli exist. Broccoli is a good source of vitamin C, among other things, and is a relatively low-carb veggie.

  21. Re:Plays Games = Has No Life on OSI Starts Selling Preleveled UO characters · · Score: 1

    Yeah, slashdot is a much more acceptable waste of time.

  22. VCool mirror on Danish Goal: 50% of Electricity from Wind · · Score: 2

    Is available here.

  23. Re:Considering that they just put out a Farscape g on Farscape Frelling Cancelled · · Score: 2

    I doubt it's a scam. The rumor has been around for every season of every orginal series on Sci-Fi. My take on the situation:

    Sci-Fi is going at it ass-backwards. They're trying to appeal to the mainstream. Well, science fiction is a niche market, with few obvious exceptions like Star Trek. Sci-Fi should be trying to cater to all the sci-fi geeks. Stuff like Anime, imported shows (Dr. Who, Red Dwarf, Blake's 7), etc. Instead they follow the majors network's typical plan: Create show and if it isn't an instant hit, cancel and return to square 1. Also, instead of cowering from the major networks (the reason for the current 4 month hiatus of Farscape), they should market their shows as an alternative to the same old crap. But, that's just my opinion.

  24. Running plan on Many Hackers Too Fat For The FBI · · Score: 2

    My I recommend the Couch to 5k running plan?

  25. Re:Sobe! on Gaming Fuel: 4-way Shootout · · Score: 1

    you can get Ginkgo, which really helps you to think

    Oh really?
