  1. Re:Greenland Is Getting Darker on Greenland Is Getting Darker · · Score: 1

    wow, my exact first thought!! but i don't know why!!! must be cosmic....

  2. short story.... on Ender's Game Trailer Released · · Score: 1

    what book is this? i read it as a short(ish) story. good read but as a movie... not so much!

  3. Re:Worst Company? Seriously? on EA Repeats As 'Worst Company In America' · · Score: 1

    ADM , not AMD i hope. i LIKE AMD!! not a fan of ADM, i admit.

  4. Re:Which is the most open cloud? on Which Cloud System Is the Most Open? · · Score: 2

    i would go with cirrus, as they seem to be more spread out across the sky!

  5. Re:Because... on Valve and JJ Abrams Collaborating On Half-Life, Portal Movies · · Score: 1

    i know everyone seems to hate this movie, but i really liked it. i have rewatched it several times, to boot. not a great movie in the overall scheme of things , but enjoyable. at least, to me. maybe if i had played any mario game, i would then realize what a horrible travesty was apparently created!

  6. Re:Lunar Lander! on Learning Rocket Science With Video Games · · Score: 1

    was this from the early 70s? used alot of college computer time to play something that i think had a similar name. i loved that game, if it is the one mentioned!!

  7. Re:Bonghits for Breakfast! on FDA To Review Inhalable Caffeine · · Score: 1

    thats old news....i used to snort nodoz back in the early 80s. was not a coffee drinker then, but had been used to snorting cocaine. so when i wanted caffeine, break out the old coke prep setup. however, was NOT that effective, and was actually a real pain chopping it up fine enough to snort. no mortar/pestle available. youth and stupidity....

  8. Re:I hate to defend Monsanto somewhat, but on 300k Organic Farmers To Sue Monsanto For Seed Patent Claims · · Score: 1

    not quite useless.... maybe as seed stock, but for consumptive experimentation....is a tester needed? i am willing to volunteer!!

  9. Re:what? on Aging Consoles Find New Life As Video Streamers · · Score: 1

    same here, only reinstalls occur after harddrive screwups,(twice in 7 years) and i have a ton of pirated stuff ,including the OS. XP, XP64 Win7(64). never have had a problem YET, but i also have these units isolated from the internet.am thinking of making one of these a streaming Roku2 homebase. however, if i had ever had a console, that would be one of its duties!!

  10. Re:I recently downloaded the laserdisk versions on Why Star Wars Should be Left to the Fans · · Score: 1

    same here! had thrown out my original VHS transfers (DVD) after buying the updated commercial DVDs. only to find that Han did not shoot first! Whaaaa???? luckily the laserdisc torrent was the original version, AND better than my VHS transfer to DVD.i don't think i can ever trust Lucas to do the proper thing by hardcore fans.,,,,

  11. Re:Vaporize rocks from 7 meters away? on Cutting Edge Tech Slated For Next Mars Rover · · Score: 1

    i immediately hear jeff wayne's war of the worlds! richard burton did a great job of narration...thanks for reawakening those chills down my spine.

  12. Re:Coat on Giant African Rat Kills With Poisonous Mohawk · · Score: 1

    I'm thinking, if you wear the coat, they WON'T be all over you, except maybe as formerly living activistas!! (yes,that WAS activistas!!)

  13. FreeStaters? on Jury Acquits Citizens of Illegally Filming Police · · Score: 1

    aren't these two members of the FreeState group? (keene, n.h. possibly?) nice going, hope more of this trend emerges. filming open police work should NOT be a crime.

  14. Re:Name that author on Google To Merge Honeycomb and Gingerbread · · Score: 1

    is that from Ren & Stimpy? sounds vaguely familiar, but its been many years.

  15. Re:Apps are crap. on App — the Most Abused Word In Tech? · · Score: 1

    call them "crapps"....? sorry, could not resist!

  16. Re:Reminds me of Sci-Fi story "The Marching Morons on Model Says Religiosity Gene Will Dominate Society · · Score: 1

    i9 thought that i had seen the premise to "idiocracy" before! thanks for the knock on the ol noggin! yes, i realize the plot lines are different... but the underlying main stream remain true!

  17. Way to go! on How a Guy Found 4 New Planets Without a Telescope · · Score: 1

    nicely done! that is some dedication... i usually spend my spare time on nothing of scientific interest.

  18. Re:Or they flew over a CAFO on Thousands of Blackbirds Fall From Sky Dead · · Score: 1

    can we call it GREENocide..GREENicide...hah? hah? (slow day)!

  19. Re:But I have to have auto insurance... on Judge Declares Federal Healthcare Plan (Partly) Unconstitutional · · Score: 1

    same here, living in N.H., but states like mine are few and far between. heck, helmets aren't required for motorcyclists! live free AND die!

  20. Re:I can see why this is popular on CD Sales Continue To Plummet, Vinyl Records Soar · · Score: 2, Insightful

    try this- place the individual vinyl disks between two sheets of clean glass, place in sunlight to warm them up for a while, then remove to shaded area to cool down. depending on the vinyl composition, it might restore them to desired state. cant hurt them to try. i did this 30 years ago to some albums in the same warped state and was able to recover them. of course, results may vary. good luck!

  21. Re:don't worry on German Military Braces For Peak Oil · · Score: 1

    a Godwin WHOOOSH!!

  22. Re:Uh oh on New Copyright Lawsuits Go After Porn On Bittorrent · · Score: 1

    you might want to check out peerblock, a sort-of continuation of peer guardian. it works the same way and is frequently updated. i believe some of the same people were involved in it. i hyave been using it for about 8 months, no problems yet.

  23. Re:Horn? on Toyota Adds External Speakers To Warn Pedestrians · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    exactly!! i am all for evolution taking place. doesn't matter how old, or even what species. either learn to ALWAYS be cautious, or remove yourself from the gene pool. of course, if all vehicles eventually become super-quiet, i assume that all creatures become vigilant or roadkill!! maybe that would make some Blackberry-texting freak think twice about doing so while crossing roadways. also, please be aware of the cynical-sarcastic frame of mind i am in at present!!

  24. Re:Not New on National Park Service Says Tech Is Enabling Stupidity · · Score: 1

    sounds like you live near the White Mtns. in fact, some have been railing against these unprepared idiots for a long while. if i remember correctly, William Putnam did an on-air editorial about stupid people going where they should not,(in the Whites) back in the early 70s. stupid people will always be stupid, with the state-of-the-art technology or not!!

  25. Re:Come to Australia on Australian Enterprises Block Sex Party's Political Site · · Score: 1

    i really am saddened. i always thought of australia as pretty cool, and it probably still is, but it seems some of your governmental types are whacked in the head. or should be!! 'premature unnecessary debate' , heavens, can't have anybody know what they are going to vote on!! good luck on your search for a better place, and when you find it, please let the rest of us know! thank you in advance.
