  1. Re:He was misunderstood on Lucas Says Ford, Fisher and Hamill May Return For Next Star Wars · · Score: 2

    So they'd take the footage from the original films and rearrange it to make new stories? Beats using them as is - the pictures of the actors in TFA are a bit alarming. Hamill looks like a long haul trucker who's in great pain from attempting to digest a short stack of pancakes.

    Definitely tag this "NOOOOOOOOO!" Or is it "NOOOOO!"?

    Sky marshal's going to have you in the penalty box tout de suite for cracking jokes about security, hoser. Or is it "Atmosphere mounty" up your way?

  4. EOP. OPE. OPP. on Protecting the Solar System From Contamination · · Score: 1

    It's a variation on Peace on Earth or Purity of Essence or Office of Planetary Protection. Mad as a bloody March hare!

    It's incredibly obvious, isn't it?

    If you Discover life somewhere aren't the odds pretty much infinite?

  8. Re:Politics, still they don't get it on Shooting Yourself In the Foot, 21st Century Style · · Score: 1

    You have to keep in mind that 60% of Americans don't even know if the Earth revolves about the Sun or not, and only 20% can read a bus schedule accurately.

    You should judge them by something actually in their experience. Probably only about 5% of Americans have ever had to look at a bus schedule.

    Like many others, I easily get distracted when working on a computer.

  13. Re:What's The Tech Angle? on Florida Sinkhole Highlights State's Geologic Instability · · Score: 4, Informative

    Some tech input will show up regardless of what's in TFS/A. General science articles are always welcome for me at any rate. Regarding this topic, here's a good photo gallery: Notable sinkholes from around the globe.

  14. Apologies to Louis Prima on Hit the Wrong Button, Drone Goes Boom · · Score: 1

    You push the wrong button down
    The drone careens round and round

  15. Re:Goolgle maps and others will be banned in new T on Texas Declares War On Robots · · Score: 1

    The 4 largest cities in the US by area are all in AK, too. Big doesn't begin to describe it. Note that these are cities that have consolidated with their boroughs, which is what the Alaskans call their counties. List of United States cities by area - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

  22. Re:Yeah, I thought of the same on We Aren't the World: Why Americans Make Bad Study Subjects · · Score: 1

    Beat me to it.

    There comes a time when we don't heed a certain call
    When the world mustn't come together as one
    There aren't people dying
    And it isn't time to lend a hand to life
    The greatest gift of all

    We can go on pretending day by day
    That someone, somewhere will soon make a change
    We all aren't a part of God's great big family
    And the truth, you know,
    Love isn't all we need

  23. Re:Not checking pulse on Fingerprint Purchasing Technology Ensures Buyer Has a Pulse · · Score: 1

    What I couldn't figure out was the emphasis on shopping; I thought these applications were for security. Cutting someone's hand off to make purchases seems a bit extreme.

    Of course it's not Atlantis. Everyone knows that the continent of Atlantis was an island which lay before the great flood in the area we now call the Atlantic Ocean.

  25. Re:How does it feel? on World's First Bitcoin ATM · · Score: 1

    Hey, come on. TFA says after 4 years Bitcoin is being used by a "handful of businesses," including a sweets bakery in San Francisco. At that rate Henry Ford would have had about 105 cars in circulation by now! Look out for that Bitcoin juggernaut!
