  1. Re:Your Feces is a Wonderland on Your Feces Is a Wonderland of Viruses · · Score: 1

    It's actually, "It is a miracle that curiosity survives formal education." /pedant

  2. Red Dawn Redemption on FEMA and DHS Fund Disaster Hero Game · · Score: 1

    Sounds like a great idea for a game, actually. Assuming there's a "Survive Russian Invasion" mode and/or or "Zombie Apocalypse".

  3. New for nerds. on Publishing Company Puts Warning Label on Constitution · · Score: 1

    Stuff that matters?

  4. In communist Australia... on Australian Gov't Seeks To Record Citizens' Web Histories · · Score: 1

    we saw this post and you're going to jail, terrorist

  5. Re:What about Official English? on Official Kanji Count Increasing Due To Electronics · · Score: 1

    It sounds like they could have a lot of fun with puns (or equivalent thereof), especially in writing. Is this a pretty common form of humor over there (using a multi-meaning kanji or same phonetic sound with different meanings as or in a joke)?

  6. Re:Pfff... on Time To Dump XP? · · Score: 1

    I always forget how to get to the partition manager. Solution: Search team "Partition". You can search "Printers" in the start menu and viola, makin music

  7. Re:Moving the country? on Giant Guatemalan 'Sinkhole' Is Worse Than We Thought · · Score: 1

    Won't this hole get bigger and bigger the as rain erodes and potentially collapses the walls?

  8. Re:(most of this post is plagerized) on Video Gamers Have Power Over Their Dreams · · Score: 1

    I have this problem with running too: I feel top heavy or maybe it's just a lot of wind resistance. Either way, instead of turning around I will start clutching at the ground with my hands and pulling to help me run on all fours... usually realise it's a dream at this point. I wonder if having to run on all fours is some kind of throwback to my primate heritage :p

  9. Re:Pfft. on Video Gamers Have Power Over Their Dreams · · Score: 1

    I like the idea that your body produces small ammounts of DMT when you're sleeping. Doesn't make it true though, just interesting. Really, this would mean you're "tripping" a little every time you dream... man.

  10. Re:That's not ballast. on "Argonaut" Octopus Sucks Air Into Shell As Ballast · · Score: 1

    My bad, was looking at GP, but in all fairness, u fucked it up too

  11. Re:That's not ballast. on "Argonaut" Octopus Sucks Air Into Shell As Ballast · · Score: 1

    Uh, yeah it's

  12. Re:But without water, there's no life (as we know on Water Not a Good Enough Guide To Find Alien Life · · Score: 1

    FTFA: "After compiling observations of life in extreme environments, the researchers found that liquid water in only a limited range of temperatures and pressures can support life." What bothers me the writers don't seem to understand this supposed range is contantly changing as scientists discover new enviorments teeming with life. Also, life isn't just IN the water, it's all around it and all around us.

  13. Re:Ignorance of the Masses on Wikimedia Confusion Swirls In Wake of Porn Charges · · Score: 1

    Sounds like your friend's girlfriend needs has some issues with her ego. I've seen a lot of porn in my day and it's never once been because I'd rather be doing that than banging my girlfriend. It was because she wasn't around or didn't want to. That she takes it so personally seems a little silly to me; millions of girlfriends out there know their boyfriends masturbate, if they don't, they're lying to themselves. It's something people do.

  14. Re:Wow on Dell To Leave China For India · · Score: 1

    My Dell was assembled in Malaysia (last year).

  15. Re:[REFORMATED] Re:Sorry Anthony.... on Man Threatened Spam Attack In $200,000 Extortion Plot · · Score: 1

    ...Do you write exams for CompTIA?

  16. Re:opposing forces at work on The Role of Human Culture In Natural Selection · · Score: 1

    I desperately fear such a society! As one who's been very financially comfortable by coasting through life (so far; 24 years) on great comprehensive skills while doing the bare minimum (never study, never did homework), it's intimidating to envision a leveled playing field.

  17. Re:Where's the "downfall" part? on Confessions of an Internet "Shock Jock" · · Score: 1

    4,347 word. I agree.

  18. Who cares? on Confessions of an Internet "Shock Jock" · · Score: 2, Funny

    Dude has ego problems, but then again... who doesn't?

  19. Re:Sad news on Obama Choosing NOT To Go To the Moon · · Score: 1

    How are we going to terraform Mars without more water? :p my bad, see what you're getting at

  20. Re:Sad news on Obama Choosing NOT To Go To the Moon · · Score: 1

    Water?

  21. Re:My excuse on Sitting Down Too Long Is Bad Even If You Exercise · · Score: 1

    wtf, maybe someone pointed this out and I missed it but the summary doesn't seem very accurate. I didn't see anything in the article implying experts warn that the excessively sedentary are running serious health risks, irrespective of how much exercise they get when they're not plonked behind a desk or lying on a sofa", but rather simply that the more TV you watch the worse your heart is. It's ridiculous to imply that working out doesn't help. FTFA: "EVERY hour spent sitting idle in front of the television raises the risk of premature death from heart disease by 18%, an Australian study found." 1. My risk of heart disease is at least 2,721,600% what it was? (watching TV one hour a day for 24 years, does not include my desk job) 2. The less you excercise the less healthy you'll be!?!?!?!? FUCK!

  22. Re:What is the point in studying Mars? on NASA Satellite Looks For Response From Dead Mars Craft · · Score: 1

    Looks like someone's having their existential period

  23. Re:If the fees are high to discourage people... on Constitutionality of RIAA Damages Challenged · · Score: 1

    This is a troll? Seems more like a rational question/statement to me. Here's your troll: whoever modded this guy down is a fucking retarded backwoods pederast.

  24. Re:Video on Aussie Scientists Find Coconut-Carrying Octopus · · Score: 1

    The National Aquarium in Baltimore recently taught me that octopuses are naturally curious and intelligent. They enjoy playing with complicated infant toys with moving parts. On a lighter note, my dad told me they have sharp teeth and poison saliva and will fly out of the tank to eat my nose and melt my face if I tap on the glass... but I didn't see any mechanisms for flight.

  25. Re:What about the old people? on Silicon As the New Lithium · · Score: 1

    You suggest cutting the population AND preserving old people? I was hoping for a Logan's Run scenerio after that first sentence :(
