  1. really /.? on Skylon Spaceplane Design Passes Key Review · · Score: 1

    "News for nerds" and none of the Cylon puns got modded up? I'm going to Gizmodo!

  2. Oh, the hilarious irony. on GNOME vs. KDE: the Latest Round · · Score: 1

    When I went to RTFA, all I saw was a big Microsoft ad.

  3. Re:Odd Paradox on House Votes To Overturn FCC On Net Neutrality · · Score: 1

    lol, 60*

  4. Re:Odd Paradox on House Votes To Overturn FCC On Net Neutrality · · Score: 1

    I know. I took AP US History. It's been more than 60 days. 50 years is a lot longer than 40 days.

  5. Odd Paradox on House Votes To Overturn FCC On Net Neutrality · · Score: 1

    Hmm. I don't seem to remember giving Congress or the President the authority to exert military force without declaring war. Funny how that works.

  6. Re:Its too bad the UI got messed up on Firefox 4 Beta 1 Shines On HTML5 · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Definitely. I love having them separate. Besides, even my netbook has a resolution of 1366x768. Who needs an address bar that's over a thousand pixels wide? I mean, really. So much of their efforts go into optimizing screen space usage, but I feel that a unified bar that's mostly blank really defeats this purpose.

  7. Re:The question you know we all want to know... on Dragon Age 2 Announced · · Score: 1

    I know, I know. I just didn't want to post any experience-altering spoilers. I have the PC version and have gotten to the last battle at Denerim, but when I got up a set of stairs it crashes my graphics card. So I guess I'm stuck waiting on patch 1.04.

  8. The question you know we all want to know... on Dragon Age 2 Announced · · Score: 2, Funny

    Can we bone Morrigan in this one?

  9. Possibility on Apple Hires Antenna Engineers. Really. · · Score: 1

    So if Verizon truly does get a CDMA iPhone, and these antenna engineers do their job, Verizon gets the iPhone 4 that works and at&t customers will be up in arms touting faulty hardware and all hell breaks loose.

  10. Re: Damaged Brains on Scaling To a Million Cores and Beyond · · Score: 1

    Aw. My "slow" Windows machine has self-worth now.

  11. I Can't Get No Satisfaction on The State of iPad Satisfaction · · Score: 0, Troll

    I haven't purchased an iPad, and I am an incredibly satisfied (not) buyer.

  12. so... on Can World's Largest Laser Zap Earth's Energy Woes? · · Score: 1

    So we somehow figure out how to connect a fission reactor and a fusion reactor. Bam. Humanity's every problem solved.

  13. why avoid when we can prepare? on Don't Talk To Aliens, Warns Stephen Hawking · · Score: 1

    Humanity has it all wrong with all this New World Order, economy, healthcare, and infighting bullshit. We need to focus on getting to Mars and uncovering a Prothean artifact, leading to our discovery mass effect technology so we can stop the Reaper threat!

  14. Catch-22 on Warner Brothers Hiring Undercover Anti-Pirates · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The best part of all this will come when the guys who decide to do this work for WB have charges pressed against themselves for p2p. I mean, really, what self-respecting IT grad would do this kind of shady work?

  15. Don't be fooled... on LHC Will Be Shut Down In 2011 Because of "Mistake" · · Score: 1

    They must be filming the sequel to Howard the Duck during the year it's shut down. I'm pumped!
