  1. Re:Drinking to much funny-juice on No Time Travel, Sorry · · Score: 1

    A joke? I don't know, maybe that's what that big nekkid foot is doing there. It's in the joke section. It's funny. Laugh.

  2. Re:Economics working as usual. on Solar Energy Becoming More Pervasive · · Score: 1

    If it were simply economics, Solar PV would not have been chosen. According to BP (page 46 of following PDF), its cost is about $400 per Megawatt-hour, compared to about $45 for new gas and about $66 for onshore wind power.

    You can get some wonderful information off of slides from MIT theoretical physicist and BP's chief scientist, Steven Koonin, PhD. (Warning: PDF!)

    There is way too much information in the slides about energy trends to summarize here, so check it all out.

  3. Not ban but discourage on Does Your Employer Ban Skype? · · Score: 1

    And they even have a fab website outlining it.

  4. How about this... on Always on Laptops · · Score: 3, Funny

    I keep my laptop on in sleep mode, and you keep your special display and processor.

  6. Re:Very Impressive! on Wine vs Windows Benchmarks · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Put your sig in the signature field where it is supposed to go.

  7. I've said it before... on Politicians Catch on to Blogging · · Score: 1

    I don't think the family of "blog" terms should be applied to any type of web page where there are no reader comments and no interaction. A press release with a more personal voice does not constitute this.

  8. Re:Bold Statement on Google Agrees to Censor Results in China · · Score: 1

    Mreh. Or you could just say screw you China, if you don't want to use Google then block it. If everyone follows bad laws there isn't much incentive to changing it.

  9. Re:Google should stick to "not being evil" on Subpoena Resistance Hurts Google Stock · · Score: 1
    Just TWO more years Google. Hold On !!!

    Nothing is changing, some men like or worse than what people tolerate now could easily gain power. Everyone's being conditioned to being lied to, being spied upon, that it is okay for the president to break the law... I don't predict things are going to get better for a long time. Yay, offtopic.

  11. Re:Then what are the savings on battery life? on What is the Intel Switch Costing Apple? · · Score: 1
    Newsweek: How is battery life with the MacBook?
    Steve Jobs: About the same--this with a dual processor [chip]! Each processor is as fast as a G5, and the battery life will be the same as [the previous PowerBook's] G4.

  12. Re:Flip4Mac offered from Microsoft on Microsoft Ends Windows Media Player on the Mac · · Score: 1

    Just FYI... QuickTime Player crashes when you close a .wmv with QuickTime version 7.0.4. Whuuupps.

  13. My favorite thing at Macworld so far... on The Best of Macworld SF 2006 · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Is a little company hidden away in the ATI rooms demoing a wicked game engine called Unity. I can't begin to say how great this thing looks. They'll be demoing on Thursday and Friday, too.

  14. No, not Treebeard! on Tapping Trees for Electricity? · · Score: 1

    The Matrix would have been much slower paced if Neo woke up to find himself an Ent.

    Morpheus/Treebeard: "I have told your name to the Entmoot, and they have seen you, and they have agreed that you need to learn Kung Fu."

  15. Re:Facts on Slowly Pulling Facts from Black Holes · · Score: 1

    There is a question I have been wondering for some time about black holes, so karma be damned I shall ask it in hopes of some response. Is it possible for light to actually orbit a black hole at a certain radius? Could energy "build up" around this radius and slam into and annihilate whatever crosses into the black hole?

  16. Weather in Iraq on U.S. Army Testing Personal Cooling Suits · · Score: 1

    The weather is rather pleasant right now in Baghdad.

  17. Re:Obligatory on Ham Hears Mars Orbiter 45 Million Miles From Earth · · Score: 4, Funny

  18. A plague! on Tim Berners-Lee Enters Blogosphere · · Score: 5, Funny

    Woe onto the editor who posts a story with the word "blogosphere" in the headline.

  19. Re:Capitalism must suck on FCC Report Supports a la Carte TV Pricing · · Score: 1

    Literary or arts programs? What TV are you getting, because I want some. All the intellectual programming I've seen is dribble, besides some PBS.

  20. This just in, TV stinks! on CSI Takes On Grand Theft Auto · · Score: 1

    As long as I have my Unity engine and a computer in front of me, I'll make the game I want to make and will be uncensored. The rest of the world can shove off. Don't be scared, folks, the Indies will make it all right.

  21. There are two simple reasons why Skype use is bad on Research Group Pushes to Ban Skype · · Score: 5, Informative

    It is from 1994.

  23. Re:Dear lord, those sucked on 2005 Halo Machinima Award Winners · · Score: 4, Informative

    The voice actors and producers of the original audio recording are the Dead Alewives, a Milwaukee Wisconsin-based sketch comedy troupe. I'd link to their site, but it does not appear to exist anymore.

  24. The real question here, is... on End User License Gems · · Score: 4, Insightful

    WHY DO END USER LICENSE AGREEMENTS LIKE CAPS SO MUCH?

    Lameness filter encountered. Post aborted! Reason: Don't use so many caps. It's like YELLING.

  25. Fire Breathing Carved Pumpkin on Geeky Gadgets for Halloween Parties? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    You're going to need a carved pumpkin with a lit candle in it, a hose of some sort, and some flour. Boar a hole in the back base of the pumpkin just big enough for your hose. Stick a small amount of flour in one end of the hose and insert the end into the hole of the pumpkin. Now stand back and blow into the other end of the hose and witness the fireball. Experiment with things to get maximum plumage. The hose can be pretty long, so you can really freak out kids while in the cover of stealth.
