  1. Half Life 2 hoarding on Finding New and Unintended Ways of Playing Games · · Score: 1

    In HL2, My compulsion involved picking up any and all weapons, ammo or exploding barrels and just carry them through the level or until I needed to reload.
    Incidentally, in Episode 2, there's an acheivement called "little rocket man". This involves lugging a garden gnome through almost the entire game. Pretty sure this was made for people like me.

  2. Ahhhhhhhhh! on How Do You Greet an Extraterrestrial? · · Score: 1

    He's got a board, with a NAIL in it!

  3. What will they learn? on Pro Video Game Leagues — Another Economic Casualty · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Probably...
    "The used game market is canibalizing our sales, they must be stopped!"

  4. All digital displays... on Tesla Releases First Official Photos of Model S Sedan · · Score: 1

    In an all electric car?
    Would these cut into range compared to primarially analog dials and switches with displays only for navigation/ stereo readout?
    Also, note the displays in place of the guage cluster.

  5. With all due respect to M. Crichten... on Michael Crichton Dead At 66 · · Score: 1

    I raise a glass in his honor for his work.

    That said, I wonder how his folks felt when they heard the following...

    "Mom, Dad, I just finished Harvard Medical School, and now I'm going to be a writer"!*

    *Before anyone says it: yes, I know he wrote The Andromeda Strain while in med school.

  6. Re:Goofy is a dog on Mickey Mouse On Hit List · · Score: 1

    I actually remember reading that Goofy was originally named "Dippy Dawg".

  7. Re:More than scientific learning on LHC Success! · · Score: 1
    Oooh! ooooh!

    They activated it using the Aperture Science One Hundred-Fifty Megawatt Supercolliding Superbutton!

    What? It's big, red and has a cool name!

  8. Re:interraction with the Kuiper Belt on First Oort Cloud Object May Have Been Discovered · · Score: 1
    Ummmm...

    The scarring of the inner planets should mean nothing unless it can be proven that the bulk of the impacts occured around a relatively short period. That is: instead of random impacts over billions of years with little or no weathering to eliminate the scars.

    Granted, the early solar system should have somewhat more chaotic before the early planets had "swept up" a lot of the debris, and one would expect more bombardment early on. However, this should not indicate anything about the formation of the asteroid belt- let alone involvement of Oort cloud objects.

    Lastly, I'm not even sure what scarring of the inner planets you are referring to as evidence(besides the Moon). Earth, Venus, and Mars all can weather away impact craters, and I'd like to know what indications of a concentrated bombardment are recorded.

  9. Re:So much for the seeds of .... on Teens Arrested For Motorized Office Chair · · Score: 1
    While the thumbnail is apparently not of the 'vehicle' in question, who's the guy driving-Jamie Hyneman (Mythbusters)?

    What? Seems like something they would do.

  10. Re:no photography policy on Photographers Face Ejection Over Lenses · · Score: 1

    I would like to add to Mr. Slippery's comment. I used to take photos in the HF Johnson Art Museum at Cornell U. (yeah, Ala Mater), packing SLR, spare lenses and lens hoods for display cases. The security guards have politely explained to me that the museum holds the rights to any images or reproductions of the artifacts. In my experience, however they have no problem with my taking the photos for personal use- provided no flash photography is involved. In any case any photographer in an art museum may run afoul of such laws.
