  1. magnets? on 50% Efficiency Boost From New Fuel Injection System · · Score: 2, Funny

    Also, if you put rare earth magnets on your fuel lines, it streamlines the molecules as they go into the engine.

  2. Re:Successful???? on Gas Wants To Kill the Wind · · Score: 1

    You sound student-y.

  3. Re:Maybe on Game Devs Only Use PhysX For the Money, Says AMD · · Score: 1

    Yet you still play FPS games, so clearly those artifacts were not a detriment to the enjoyment of the game.

  4. Gandhi on Gas Wants To Kill the Wind · · Score: 0

    First they ignore you,
    Then they laugh at you,
    Then they fight you,
    Then you win.

    So we're at Stage 3 now I guess.

  5. They have the money already on Ubisoft's Authentication Servers Go Down · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Why would this stem the awful DRM? They have the money, gamers are still going to play, life moves on.

  6. -1, Don't Care? on Algebra In Wonderland · · Score: 1

    I mean, it's 3D, and has Johnny Depp playing another cookie-cutter role, but why the fuss over the Nth retelling of Alice ?

  7. So PK is now a crime?? on Examining Virtual Crimes · · Score: 1

    WTF, if you're an online player, and haven't at some point been gang-banged by a bunch of Uruks, you haven't been around. Get a grip.

  8. Actually used as a therapy tool on Life Imagined As One Big RPG · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I've read articles where kids with behavioral disorders, social anxiety, general nerdiness, etc were encouraged to use this as a means of driving more appropriate/better behaviors. Like if a shy kid talked to a classmate, he gave himself 10 points, etc. Then they worked with the therapist to track the whole thing - basically making life your RPG.

  9. Re:really a good idea? on I Use Twitter, Please Rob Me · · Score: 5, Funny

    He wanks as high as any in Wome !!!

  10. non-story clickwhores on 86% of Windows 7 PCs Maxing Out Memory · · Score: 1

    Can we raise the intellectual bar somewhat, and not even post these articles? At a quick glance, its a non-issue, AND/OR the authors of the piece ADMIT that they don't really know how to interpret the data.

  11. Paging Dr Bussard on Interstellar Hydrogen Prevents Light-Speed Travel? · · Score: 1

    You need that hydrogen to power the spaceship !

  12. If you require it, it will come... right? on FCC Proposes 100Mbps Minimum Home Broadband Speed · · Score: 1

    Just think, if we passed laws against stealing and killing, then nobody would steal or kill right? I thought Congress was given power to regulate trade between the States, not REQUIRE trade between the States.

  13. always obvious after the fact on Are All Bugs Shallow? Questioning Linus's Law · · Score: 1

    It's also why something is in the last place you look - because you stop looking !

    All bugs are shallow because eventually someone smarter than you looks at it, and it's obvious to them. How often and how soon this happens in practice is an exercise for the reader :)

  14. MAKE sucks on Steampunk Con Mixes In More Maker Fun · · Score: 1, Insightful

    I got MAKE when it first came out, and after the 2nd or 3rd issue, when someone basically shined off the workings of a PID controller as "I don't know how it works but who cares, the $5 chip just works", I threw it into the trash. Science and technology are not 'pop' subjects, despite however many Mythbuster episodes you've seen.

  15. OR set the desktop theme to black on black on Was This the First Denial of Service Attack? · · Score: 1

    Worked on DECstations. The GUI preferences were global.

  16. dead trees on It's 2010; What's the Best E-Reader? · · Score: 1

    For the price of an "ebook" that goes bye-bye when my Kindle, iPad or other device dies, gets its firmware updated or broken, I can get the real, dead-tree version of the book. If I have room in my luggage for an "e-reader", then I can bring the actual book.

  17. Why troll ? on Directed Energy Weapon Downs Ballistic Missile · · Score: 1

    "It should be noted ... blah blah" . If they hit the thing, that's the hard part. Adding 1.21 Gigawatts to the existing laser (to destroy a solid fuel rocket) is the easy part.

  18. Why bother cheating at Stanford on How Easy Is It To Cheat In CS? · · Score: 1

    When the GPA there keeps going up and up ?

    http://www.gradeinflation.com/Stanford.html

  19. RFID passports on European Credit and Debit Card Security Broken · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Isn't Europe the same place where you can check yourself onto a plane with your RFID passport, even if you've cloned the chip and replaced the identity with Mickey Mouse?

  20. So AI Experts think AI is going to take off? on When Will AI Surpass Human Intelligence? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Say it ain't so! In other news, Coca-Cola released a statement that in 20 years, more people will be drinking Coca-Cola than there are drinking it now !1!!

  21. Re:Rebooting is a Good Thing... on A "Never Reboot" Service For Linux · · Score: 0, Troll

    You sound gay.

  22. "Ecosystem knowledge" ? on Microsoft Says Windows 7 Not Killing Batteries · · Score: 1

    Wtf is this, aren't techies supposed to be, you know, techy? What's next, power (not di-lithium) crystals and mood rings to diagnose BSoDs ?

  23. Re:Answers on The iPad Questions Apple Won't Answer · · Score: 1

    Locked?

    So is your DVD player, toaster, and automobile. How is that a bad thing?

  24. LPARs on IBM Releases Power7 Processor · · Score: 4, Insightful

    IBM gear gets you LPARs, with a real hypervisor that is laps ahead of all the other stuff.

  25. Holy crip he's a crapple ! on Oracle Drops Sun's Commitment To Accessibility · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Survival of the fittest, my friends.
