  1. Re:Is this the build-up to some joke? on New Sunlight Reactor Produces Fuel · · Score: 1

    Since when do plants store energy in a way that's efficiently useful to us? You can't build a car that runs off your bags of mowed grass, you can build a car that runs off H2. This is no joke.

  2. Re:Is he really talking fast? on Bad Science Writer Talks About the Placebo Effect *NSFW* · · Score: 3, Insightful

    All I know is that the speed of his mouth and the speed of my brain were neck and neck the whole time.

  3. Re:capitalists take note on Chinese Intellectual Property Acquisition Tactics Exposed · · Score: 2

    Wow, great retort there Anonymous Coward. Don't try to refute anything, just insult the poster. Lemme guess, you have no 'refudations' in mind, you just can't sit there and let someone talk bad about the Republican's and not have a stab at them.

  4. This is not news for nerds.... on Scientifically, You Are Likely In the Slowest Line · · Score: 1

    Because real nerds were all required to write a program to demonstrate this in their first CS class.

  5. Re:Homeopathic Medicine on Placebos Work -- Even Without Deception · · Score: 1

    Not as long as a box of sugar pills can sell for $14 in a drugstore.

  6. You guys are all missing the point. on Nigerian Email Scam Victim Sues Bank, Loses Appeal · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The scammer successfully made off with $460,000 that never existed. This is no "I need $200 from you to cover the transferal fees" scam. This is some crazy shit.

  7. Re:Oh yeah on Microsoft Says Kinect Left Open By Design · · Score: 1

    But why intentionally leave it up to the world to reverse engineer the thing instead of just provide drivers or basic info on how to do it?

  8. Re:Dildos on TSA Bans Toner and Ink Cartridges On Planes · · Score: 1

    Err, bomb in a suitecase... ahem.

  9. Re:Dildos on TSA Bans Toner and Ink Cartridges On Planes · · Score: 1

    Oh yeah, did I see that somewhere? I forgot where it was from.

    At any rate, if I ever were to decide to take down a plane with a suitcase in a bomb, I guess I'd make sure it was ticking lol.

  10. Dildos on TSA Bans Toner and Ink Cartridges On Planes · · Score: 1

    Some day some terrorist is going to try to smuggle a bomb in a dildo, and the TSA will respond by declaring that all dildos are banned from air travel and are to be confiscated at the gate by security officers.

  11. What the hell? on First Pictures of the (Fake?) PlayStation Phone · · Score: 1

    If you click the "if it was real" link, you go to a page claiming it's fake with absolutely nothing to back up the claim other than "there's dirt on the screen"? And then in that article, you can click on a link to Engadget swearing its real and coming to market. Whats the deal?

  12. Re:I guess they'll die on Govt To Bomb Guam With Frozen Mice To Kill Snakes · · Score: 1

    What about them? My Smartypants are flea proof.

  13. So... on Hawking: No 'Theory of Everything' · · Score: 1

    Does this sort of negate his accomplishment of predicting Hawking Radiation 30 some years ago which was recently observed in a lab, thereby eliminating his chance of winning a Nobel Prize?

    I mean, my physics teacher would have given me a pretty bad grade for getting 1 out of 2 questions right.

  14. Re:I guess they'll die on Govt To Bomb Guam With Frozen Mice To Kill Snakes · · Score: 1

    Haha, cute, but the mice are dead, and the classic scenario will not apply...

  15. Easy: "War on Texting" on Could Anti-Texting Laws Make Roads More Dangerous? · · Score: 1

    Problem solved.

  16. Re:Accelerometers in phones? on Could Anti-Texting Laws Make Roads More Dangerous? · · Score: 1

    Tell me how you would design such a feature to distinguish between driving my car, and walking down the street, riding a bus, or just being in the passenger seat? This type of solution will never be viable.

  17. Yikes... on "Super Monkey" Security Force Used At Commonwealth Games · · Score: 1

    Forget about the story. Next time could we please be warned that we're about to click on a link to the Temple of Doom?

  18. And in other news on In Case of Emergency, Please Remove Your Bra · · Score: 1

    Sales of teargas has unexpectedly tripled, leaving the industry to scramble to meet demand...

  19. Re:Title Threw Me for a Loop on UK Man Prevented From Finding Chipped Pet Under Data Protection Act · · Score: 2, Funny

    Boy, you must have been disappointed...

  20. Oxy moron of the century... on Some Countries Want To Ban 'Information Weapons' · · Score: 1

    "weapons" are things which are intended to do physical harm. "information" is something that exists purely in abstract.

  21. Re:Southpaws getting left behind. on Left-Handed Gamers Getting Left Behind? · · Score: 1

    Sorry dude, I totally left you in the dust by writing my comment just before you left yours. You know I'm right.

  22. There's way more potential in the headline here on Left-Handed Gamers Getting Left Behind? · · Score: 1

    Is it right for left handed gamer's rights to be left behind?

  23. No on Can NetBooks & Tablets Co-Exist? · · Score: 1

    Everyone knows that netbooks and tablets, like matter and anti-matter, will annihilate each other if they come in contact.

  24. Considering both used sound effects in space on How Star Wars Trumped Star Trek For Scientific Accuracy · · Score: 1

    This argument seems totally pointless.

  25. And in other news... on How Star Wars Trumped Star Trek For Scientific Accuracy · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Please? Anything??
