  1. Street lights are okay on One Fifth of World's Population Can't See Milky Way At Night · · Score: 1

    But why do they have to shine them up into the sky? Didn't they used to have hoods on them a long time ago?

    What would Bruce Dickinson do?

  3. What a bunch of crap on Computers Key To Air France Crash · · Score: 1

    Aside from gravity, human error is far and away the biggest cause of accidents. Read a little history. The airsafety.net site can be very enlightening for any of you non believers. And fuck you on that "individual freedom" crap. The machines' records speak for themselves. In "pilot" vs. "autopilot", autopilot wins 99.999% percent of the time. And read up on TCAS while you're at it. Mod this article Troll/Flamebait.

  6. Any numbers? on Stem Cells Restore Sight For Corneal Disease Patients · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Inexpensive? That's a very relative term..

  7. Re:So the dog go off on any dvd-r on Anti-Piracy Dog Uncovers Huge Cache of Discs · · Score: 1

    That would be Triumph the Critic-Dog deciding which one of your disks are ready to poop on.

  8. Re:This is a warning to those other industries on GM's Hummer Brand To Be Sold To a Chinese Company · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Watch out RIAA/MPAA your industries are next. The market will handle you as well.

    Eh so what. The money will move(diversify?) into into other markets, and we keep the same people in charge.. What's changed? The market is dumb. Where's my AM stereo?

  9. Re:I wonder if my great^8 grandkids on Research Vehicle Reaches the Bottom of the Ocean · · Score: 3, Funny

    After getting through the corona, that should feel downright refreshing.

  12. Cap 'n Trade on Time Warner ToS Changes Could Mean Tiered Pricing, Throttling · · Score: 1

    Here's the trade. You cap my net, I block all ad servers. That should save me a bundle. Unclog the tubes with Drano.

  13. Re:Could they possibly... on Time Warner ToS Changes Could Mean Tiered Pricing, Throttling · · Score: 1

    First I would have to ask, what's their real customer base. It doesn't sound to me that it would be "Joe the Subscriber".

  14. Re:Obstacles?? OBSTACLES??? on Scientists Can Grow Stem Cells In a Petri Dish · · Score: 1

    So don't get all wound up thinking you can inject this stuff into you and magically turn 16 again.

    I can't dream up any reason how you can read that into anything I said. My analogy, if you will, is more along the lines of, when it DOES work, access isn't restricted to the highest bidder. Otherwise what you will have is similar to the shooting victim being denied pain killers because he's not insured.

  15. Re:Really? on The Psychology of Collection and Hoarding In Games · · Score: 1

    This is incredibly un-newsworthy.

    But it got a response :-) And that's the name of this game. Hoard those hits and trade 'em for ad revenue, heh, so they think..

  16. Re:Stating the Obvious on The Psychology of Collection and Hoarding In Games · · Score: 5, Funny

    Hey! Whatever makes them happy...

  17. Re:Good call on Obama DoJ Goes Against Film Companies · · Score: 3, Funny

    I hear ya, man.. It would've been so much more convincing if he was up in Barrow Alaska.

    The old saying of "avoid cliches like the plague." applies perfectly to the parent post... :-)

  23. Re:Idiocy on Homeland Security To Scan Citizens Exiting US · · Score: 1

    I don't understand this move...

    It's a game played by security consultants and contractors, called, "Who Wants to be a Millionaire?".

  24. Re:Idiocy on Homeland Security To Scan Citizens Exiting US · · Score: 4, Informative

    No, they're going to throw you into a room, until after your plane leaves. Then you can go buy another ticket and refuse again...
