  1. Nuke the acid! on Hawking On Earth's Lifespan · · Score: 2

    Don't worry if you don't live in the US... our government will know what to do. It'll do what it does best, and nuke the acid in the air! See ya acid! ;-)

    The one-click toaster!
    The one-click can opener!
    The one-click coffee maker!
    The one-click 'make a letter appear on the screen'!
    The one-click lightswitch!

  3. The Illuminati on PlayStation Reverse Engineering Stands Up In Court · · Score: 2

    Here's the "real" story :
    They got the code, not by reverse engineering, but through the illuminati (they know everything, ya know)...
    The courts jumped in, but since the illuminati move everything with their 'invisible hand', and have such immense power, they forced the courts to concede. And the courts did.
    To further prove my theory, this post should get moderated down to -1 soon after I post it, so those that actually see if will know the truth!
    IT'S ALL A CONSPIRACY! ;-)

    Playstation 2 is due out shortly. Why would they still care?
    PS2 is supposed to allow you to play PS games, also. They should have nothing to worry about...

    By adding another way to forge a signature is making it easier to forge in general.
    Now kids can either, forge my written signature, or hack my e-signature. They have a choice, which is bad.
    What we need is to make 1 form of signature that is extremely difficult to forge, and can the rest. By adding another type of signature, we are making forging easier...

    Look at pro football, or any sport... wallstreet in the 80s... Famous actors... Famous singers... etc...
    Drugs are everywhere. Its the type of person, not their hobbies. I'm a computer guy, yet I only drink a beer sometimes while I play games. Nothin serious.
    There are some pro football players that are upstanding citizens with perfect records, yet there are some that take crack regularly and beat their wives...
    I don't think drugs have anything to do with your occupation or hobbies, but more of your upbringing...

    If they want to improve things, make all the athletes perform naked again, like in the original Olympics. Hell, I'd settle for topless.

  16. The Olympics are going down... on IOC Clamps Down on Athlete Web Diaries · · Score: 2

    I haven't seen a single event yet, and don't plan on watching one. And I'm definately not alone.

    Viewing the Olympics is at an all time low, and the IOC isn't helping at all. Making excrutiatingly restricted rights are gonna help the Olympics completely fail...

    If they were smart, the IOC would open their restrictions instead of restrict, if they plan on staying afloat.

    Most of the gaming industry claims that the best games come from small, independent, 'garage-type' developing teams with little money. Are you going to encourage this type of company to produce games for your console? Will you help them market their games?

They are getting REALLY REALLY old, and its the same-old stuff.
