  1. Re:Is this why they fly into airplanes? on Electromagnetic Noise Found To Affect Bird Navigation · · Score: 1

    I would have thought that millions of years of evolution would have taught birds that vertical water surfaces don't exist.

  2. Re:Thrill over the idea at least on EVE Online's Space Economy Currently Worth $18 Million · · Score: 1

    Of course it comes down to choice, and I choose not to participate to large angagements. Not that anyone would miss me, since thousands of people flock there anyway.
    Small skirmishes which are fast-paced, with no TiDi and end within minutes are my thing.

    (Time dilation is WAAAAAAAY better than what existed (didn't exist?) previously, by the way.)

    Just as much as wiping your ass with your hand is waaaaaay better than not wiping it at all.
    Incurable optimists would say it's an improvement, realists would say it's still shitty (even literally, in my example above).

    Disclaimer: I play EVE Online.

  4. Re:Bottom of my list on Yahoo To Produce Sci-Fi Streaming Sitcom · · Score: 1

    I fail to see any ladder where prostitutes would NOT be at the top. Or on top. Or seen from behind.
    After all, Missionary position is "passe" :)

  5. Re:Who Better on Yahoo To Produce Sci-Fi Streaming Sitcom · · Score: 1

    Who knows, it might be entertaining.
    I for one won't judge until I see it, that is if it even goes live. Personally, I don't care who is producing what, I'm gonna give it a shot, then decide if it's worth watching or not. After all, it doesn't cost me anything, apart from some lost time if it proves to be shit.

  6. Re: Maybe not extinction... on Are Habitable Exoplanets Bad News For Humanity? · · Score: 1

    That too :)

    Unless it hits a nuclear power plant.

    ...And no hair, not anymore.

    With any luck, we're gonna be the only ones talking about it.

  9. Re: Maybe not extinction... on Are Habitable Exoplanets Bad News For Humanity? · · Score: 1

    Hiroshima and Nagasaki didn't go heavily radioactive because:
    - most buildings were wooden and burned down or were blasted away
    - the bombs were very weak (compared to what we have in stock right now)
    - nuclear fallout was negligible by design.

    None of the above is valid anymore.

    All of it highly radioactive. Yummy.

  11. Re:Easy answers on 'The Door Problem' of Game Design · · Score: 1

    Yeah, then I, as the customer, would tel you, the producer, to go suck your own cock and I'd take my money elsewhere.

  12. Re:Easy answers on 'The Door Problem' of Game Design · · Score: 1

    Because in real life those doors don't come in a package you bought.
    You bought the game, therefore you bought all the doors within it. They should then have the ability to open and let you explore.

  13. Re:Easy answers on 'The Door Problem' of Game Design · · Score: 1

    It's why I stopped playing the last thief. Zounds of doors out of which 3 open, everything else is just there because... I have no idea why.
    How to beat the ultimate thief: just place the loot behind one of those unopenable doors.

  14. Re:...news for nerds.. on In a Hole, Golf Courses Experiment With 15-inch Holes · · Score: 1

    Yes, and I challenge that train of thought. It's a traditional mentality that kind of needs to go.

    Interesting. According to the link below, some games are considered sports:

    I personally don't consider boxing a sport either, but meh.

  16. Re:...news for nerds.. on In a Hole, Golf Courses Experiment With 15-inch Holes · · Score: 1

    I fail to understand the difference, and I'm serious here.
    There are championships, tournaments and professionals. There are ladders and a pretty complex method of keeping track of it all. the only difference is that you name it differently.

  17. Re:Not a fan, but... on In a Hole, Golf Courses Experiment With 15-inch Holes · · Score: 1

    Golf is about getting your balls into the hole in as few strokes as possible. It's as simple as that.

    Now read this phrase from a sexual perspective, imagine the CEOs and the like actually doing it.

  18. Re:Nothing to do with hole size on In a Hole, Golf Courses Experiment With 15-inch Holes · · Score: 2

    Question is... are they larger than 15 inch?

    In other words, it's okay if you beat your wife at home, as long as you sing nicely and smile during the game at the stadium.

    So... fuck chess? 'cause as sure as hell it ain't requiring strength, speed or coordination.

    Oh well, maybe beef.

    That's not even a 75mm railgun size. Can I fit it on my Velator? :)

  25. Re:Anger management through physics on Study: Video Gamer Aggression Result of Game Experience, Not Violent Content · · Score: 1

    Very few, I hope. I never found the Rubik's cube to be frustrating, even back in the day when I didn't know how to algorithmically solve it. It was a fun way to spend some time, experimenting various methods and combinations.
