  1. one of my fav's on the C64 on Neglected Classic Games That Deserve Remakes? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I'd like to see Paradroid remade. I spent many hours playing that game. It would make a pretty FPS. Take over another robot and be able to use their weapons, be kinda neat to also use thier sensors.

  2. Earth gave the exact same results on The Dirt On Mars, In Words And Pictures · · Score: 1

    Earth gave the exact same results, when they ran the experiments here. So since they couldn't prove that life existed on a planet known to have life either, they called it inconclusive.

  3. an explosive case on The Star Wars Car · · Score: 1

    That sounds really cool. when the RIAA knocks down your door and takes your computer; they put in the wrong password and BAM! you explosivly destroy your HD and all evidence.

  4. Re:For $5 million bucks... on Saturn V Fallen on Hard Times · · Score: 1

    Whalers: We're whalers on the moon,
    We carry a harpoon.
    But there ain't no whales
    So we tell tall tales
    And sing our whaling tune.

  5. Now i want to see the weapons on Real-Life Halo Armor Creators Quizzed · · Score: 1

    I want to see someone do one of the asault rifles now

  6. Re:Sounds good, but... on Your Own Mecha · · Score: 2, Informative

    Even IN SOVIET RUSSIA, and covered with hot grits that joke is bad.

    Speaking of legs, I'm disappointed this thing doesn't have legs. But it has what looks like caterpillar tracks and a front loader, WTF?

  7. Sounds reasonable on California Legislator To Introduce Games Bill · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Putting in for video games what we do for Magazines and Movies already. Hopefully this will eventually lead to a wider range of content in the 'adult' section of my video rental place. I can only take so much in flesh tones.

  8. HA! on Scientists Create Deadlier TB Strain By Accident · · Score: 1

    They had that gene sequencer in reverse. How silly.

  9. I got slacks on Weird Presents Anyone? · · Score: 1

    My mom got me camoflage dress slacks.
    I can never wear these to work, and who makes these things anyway?
    My mom is now officially, stylisticlly senile.

  10. hmmm on New Battlestar Galactica Premieres Monday · · Score: 1

    Wonder Woman a man....hey wait a minute isn't that on the BBC right now? or am I thinking of something else?

  11. duh on Airspeed Velocity Of An Unladen Swallow · · Score: 1

    duh...coconuts
    pay attention

    so now that we know the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow, now we need to find out what the velocity is of a coconut laden one.

  12. Re:"Freedom from taxation"? on Ban on Internet Access Tax Dies in Senate · · Score: 0

    No tax, no government. No government, no authority. No authority, breakdown of civil society

    I call bullshit. I say that it goes the other way. People behave civily so they create an authority, which turns into government, which then beats people up for taxes. If there were no government, people would still behave in a civil manner.

  13. hammer, nail. Nail, Hammer. on Windows Drivers Under Linux? · · Score: 1

    It's already happened once. With Word Perfect. Corel put out version 8 of Word Perfect, and by all counts it was/is one of the best word processors ever put out for Linux. But, the next version they didn't bother porting to Linux, they used some wierd setup with WINE and as a result version 9 sucked eggs on Linux.

    The WINE people and now these Linuxant people have laudible goals, but if everything works fine through the compatibility layers then eventually nothing will be written natively. Only now it's drivers instead of applications.

  14. sp on Chinese Experiment Creates Three-Parent Fetuses · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    so...who was cartman's mom?

  15. except on China's Space Launch Near; Malaysia Wants One, Too · · Score: 1

    Except that space programs are government run and not really capitalistic in any sense.

  16. Hey! on China's Space Launch Near; Malaysia Wants One, Too · · Score: 1

    I live in a general state of malaise. Does taht make me Malaysian?

  17. I use "the pile" on How Do You Store Your Media? · · Score: 1

    When I store my cd's I use a geometrically arranged pattern of stacking, generally refered to as a 'pile'. Around my desk there are several piles of cd's that seems to merge with the cheetos and empty soda cans into a single big pile. Moving on to my living room, there is another 'pile' of DVD's on my TV and on my DVD player. It really is a versatile solution. It expands easily, finding what you want is easier than it looks as you can create a seperate pile for your most needed/used items. It works for more than just DVD's and CD's and can be expanded to include clothing, magazines/newspapers, old pizza boxes (for those linux in a pizza box experiments), bills, books.

  18. Creepy on Flash-Freezing Squirrels · · Score: 4, Funny

    I was reading what he did to the squirrels and was struck by parrelells to alien abductions...consider, the squirrel is looking for food, finds some, then BAM! he's stuck in a cage, moved into an alien environment, thrown in a jar and passes out. When he wakes up he's back in the wild with a new scar on his belly and he can feel an implant. He goes to tell his friends that there are these giant hairless creatures that took him to a strange place and performed experiments on him, but they all think he's crazy.

  19. F me? on Flash-Freezing Squirrels · · Score: 1

    F-you! you...
    oh wait...f UNITS
    my mistake.

  20. Re:And...? on UK Gov't Considers Expanding Open Source Use · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I think the point they were trying to make is since the public (as taxpayers) paid for the software, that the public should have access to the source code.

  21. Small case? on How a Computer Case Is Built · · Score: 1

    What? You got a small case or something?

  22. Enough of this...whose going to be in it? on Hitchhiker's Guide Movie Greenlighted · · Score: 1

    Not sure who to cast as arthur dent, but i think zaphod could be played by btruce campbell. michael dorn as a vorgon.
    john leguizamo as the fly

    im sure others will think of better

  23. So, what do YOU propose? on Electricity Apocalypse Soon? · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    OK, Mr. no-nukes, what do you propose for a clean power source, that isn't dependant on fossil fuels?

  24. Damnit! I just started! on Slackware 9.1 Released · · Score: 1

    I just got started with Slackware. 8.1, I got from the back of a magazine. Been having a blast...for about 2 weeks, now 9.1 is out. Accursed upgrade cycle! On the other hand...Long live Slack!

  25. Don't look at me on Analysis Of Symantec's Stance On Censorship · · Score: 3, Funny
