  1. Just.. no..

  7. Re:SPOILER!!!!!! on Stargate Universe · · Score: 1

    You're 10 years+ out of touch with the series. The gate is one way for the place that opens it. So if someone on a planet dialed the ship and pushed air at the gate - yeah. Not the other way around. Electromagnetic radiation flows in both directions.

  8. What.. on Russian Doctors Find Tree Growing In Man's Lung · · Score: 1

    .. no "in soviet russia" jokes?

  9. Karma on Microsoft Ordered To Pay $388 Million In Patent Case · · Score: 4, Funny

    This is what they get for suing TomTom. What goes around..

  10. Rant of the week.. on Bill Gates' Plan To Destroy Music, Note By Note · · Score: 1

    I teach Linux at a local college. I usually have my rant of the week, usually something stupid that microsoft has done. Songsmith was front and center up on my projector. They barely made it past the 2 minute mark of the 4 minute ad. It was.. painful to watch, yet funny to inflict on others.

  13. Outsourcing.. on The RIAA's Rocky Road Ahead · · Score: 2, Interesting

    It could be the RIAA is getting ready to sue the providers who will in turn sue its customers to recover costs. Essentially outsourcing the individual lawsuits and focusing on those companies who might just have the cash to pay up when they lose.

  14. Re:The mouse is still better. on Oblong's g-speak Brings "Minority Report" Interface To Life · · Score: 1, Insightful

    That's the old fart talking. We've been using a mouse most of our lives, so sure it's better for us. Take a look at the wii, it took me a while to adjust killing zombies by pointing at the screen instead of using my thumb.

    If kids growing up use this interface, not only will it be natural to them, they'll be in much better shape.
