  1. Re:I don't think anybody should pirate anything on Pirates as a Marketplace · · Score: 1

    EA management pretending to believe in the artistry of their creative staff is the funniest thing I've read in months.

  2. Re:buy compatible cartridges on What Do You Do When Printers Cost Less Than Ink? · · Score: 1

    8 bit? Drop your Grandpa's Mavica and get a real camera please. It may get converted to 8bit per channel in the camera butt your average modern sensor records in 14-16 bit per channel.

    - Does it take just the normal 8 1/2x11 paper, or does it go all the way up to 11x17?

    I don't know. I'm simply happy that it goes to 11.

    But if your printer is cheaper than the ink you should invest in a more expensive printer. It'll save you money in the long run, and whatever you do for God's sake stay away from HP. (unless you can score a laser printer from the early '90s those were built like tanks.) It's not worth the grief.

  4. Re:The original article? on CIA Manual Thought Lost In 1973 Available On Amazon · · Score: 1

    Meh that's so 1994. This is the new /b/ inspired internet where links are linking links that link links. There isn't even a story or a book. It's all links.

  5. Re:Yeah, right! on Ubuntu Reaching Out To 16,000 Anime Lovers · · Score: 4, Funny

    I believe it's "Apple users"

  6. Re:So what else is new? on Intel Says Brain Implants Could Control Computers By 2020 · · Score: 1

    Congratulations for making that post without using the word "sheeple". Now take off that AFDB and join us. You know you want to.

  7. Re:Math cannot exist before wind. on Tracking the World's Great Unsolved Math Mysteries · · Score: 1

    Or a liberal arts major.

  8. Re:Actually, it is on Mars on NASA To Try Powering Mars Rover "Spirit" Out of Sand Trap · · Score: 1

    No they're a soundstage. Those moon landings had to be filmed somewhere silly.

    The Shuttles are simply large fireworks packed into a paper mache hull. If you look closely you can see the "made in China" stickers on the "engines".

  9. Re:How Much Damage? on Unknown 7m Asteroid Almost Impacted Earth · · Score: 1

    I'm not bothered about giving my weight.

    931N here.

  10. Re:icing on the cake: on Glenn Beck Loses Dispute Over Parody Domain · · Score: 1

    oops, modding error, posting to undo.

  11. Re:Sigh... on Pirate Bay Closure Sparked P2P Explosion · · Score: 1

    Perhaps 100 million dollar movies will die out. Is that such a loss? Isn't it absurd to spend that amount of money on producing 1.5 hours of canned entertainment? No matter how good the movie.

  12. Re:200g flour vs 200g rice, gloriously off topic on Masten Qualifies For $1 Million Space Prize · · Score: 2, Insightful

  13. Re:"using turbines made in China" on Chinese To Supply 600 MW Wind Farm In Texas · · Score: 1

    The irony is truly delicious. Before you know it US citizens will be sneaking across the border to find a better life as illegal aliens in Mexico.

  14. Re:As an Australian living in Australia.... on Obama Looks Down Under For Broadband Plan · · Score: 1

    I'm glad to see that you're doing your bit for the economy by being frugal with capitals and proper spelling, although those two commas do seem a bit extravagant in context.

  15. Re:Arrr on What If They Turned Off the Internet? · · Score: 1

    You obviously haven't thought this through. How can you have friends without the internet?

  16. Re:(And now with more Pants!) on What If They Turned Off the Internet? · · Score: 2, Funny

    It's what he would have wanted.

  17. Re:as they would say on FARK.. on Yahoo Offered Lap Dances At Hack Event · · Score: 2, Informative

    There's also "knows how to spell 'feminist'".

  18. Re:Bigger is not really the issue on Sony Demo'ing 360 Degree 3-D Tabletop Display · · Score: 1

    Isn't another problem with this tech that the images are more or less transparent?

    Voxels near the viewer will not block light from bright voxels behind them. So you can't really do realistic scenes unless you stick to showing items made of non-reflective glass.

  19. Re:! surprising on Car Glass Rules Could Impair Cell, GPS and Radio Signals In CA · · Score: 1

    unless we decide to disband all police, in which case I'll be out grabbing all the ammo I can find 'cause shit's gonna get real bad real quick.

    Surprisingly the world isn't an '80s action movie. Remember the stories of anarchy and rape during the New Orleans flood? All rumors. Shit didn't happen. The real problems were caused by government officials messing up and Blackwater mercenaries moving in.

  20. Re:Gee whiz! on The Medical Benefits of Carbon Monoxide · · Score: 1

    Modern homeopathy works with doses of nitrogen monoxide? In my youth we just used plain water!

    Are you saying that he funded his gambling habit with hookers? Did he walk around with a fur coat, a fedora and a big stick?

  22. Re:And things like this are why... on Computer-Based System To Crack Down On Casino Card Counters · · Score: 2, Insightful

    They also don't have an obligation to offer blackjack. If they can't make money on a game without throwing good players out, maybe they shouldn't offer the game in the first place.

  23. Re:Altitude on Australian Student Balloon Rises 100,000 Feet, With a Digital Camera · · Score: 0

    You should get something for that cold. It's invading your typing.

  24. Re:Plagiarism? on First Black Hole For Light Created On Earth · · Score: 1

    What's even worse is that they start out calling it the first black hole for light and immediately admit that is isn't actually a black hole for light yet.

    In similar news, I just broke the 100m dash world record. Well I walked 100 meters to work, which is almost the same.

    I know! If only Johnny Foreigner would start speaking and writing a real language, things would be so much better.

    Seriously, this is equivalent to saying that all Nintendo Wii users should exclusively use kanji for their communication.
