  1. Re:I wish I could replace it on Is It Time to Replace Your First HDTV? (Video) · · Score: 1

    Mostly same boat here with a Toshiba 34inch CRT. I don't like the raw space consumption of this thing, but it's still kicking and displays decently. I wish it had a better digital resolution mapping, but with a little CTRL +/- fiddling, most pages are readable. I just haven't seen any tech that's got me willing to upgrade, despite the inconveniences.

  2. Canada GeeseCanadian Geese on Canadian City Uses Drone To Chase Off Geese · · Score: 1

    Canada Geese have a large range (including Canada) and may have the country as a namesake, but should not be called Canadian Geese - unless they live there I guess.

  3. Re:never happen in the states on Small Town Builds Its Own Gigabyte Network; Cost To Citizens $57/month · · Score: 1

    It's like the batshit crazy ex who doesn't want to be with you but also doesn't want anyone else being with you.

    Either way, you're screwed.

    It would seem that the individual involved here in your example would not be screwed - at all.

  4. Re:I expected China, but here in the US? on The City Where People Are Afraid To Breathe · · Score: 1

    somewhat east of Pocatello, Idaho looks like right in the middle of this:

  5. I've a suggestion to keep you all occupied... on Was That A Tsunami? · · Score: 5, Informative

    Learn to swim.

  6. Re:I hate U2... on Pro Bono Lawyer Fights C&D With Humor · · Score: 1

    But I think if he were Sonny Bono, it would be his lawyers sending out the C&Ds

  7. University of... on Predicting IQ With a Simple Visual Test · · Score: 1

    Rorschachtester?

  8. Like most new tech.... on "Lazarus Project" Clones Extinct Frog · · Score: 1

    This is being overly hyped before the actual results most of us would consider significant. From TFA: "Although none of the embryos survived longer than a few days, the work is encouraging for others looking to clone a variety of currently-extinct animals". I realize that there may be significant steps taken with this attempt, but the real success for most people is when of these things is hopping around.

  9. Re:Applications in chemistry on New Type of Chemical Bond Predicted To Exist In White Dwarfs · · Score: 2

    there could be a host of novel synthesis based on this bond.

    I had a few novel ideas myself, but I'm too lazy to write that much.

  10. Re:Unknown? on Lonesome George Is Dead At 100 · · Score: 2

    When we visited in 2009, we were told by one of the guides that she was his personal fluffer (my words). That's gotta be hard to put on a resume.

  11. This will be doomed.... on Computer Games That Defined RPGs In the 1980s · · Score: 4, Informative

    to be a small 1 pointer at the bottom of an old thread, but in case anyone is still mining...

    In addition to wasteland which was already mentioned (which finally has WL2 coming!!) I think there was another awesome RPGs not mentioned:
    Alternate Reality (the dungeon)

    This great game has it all - humor, great music, discovery, tons of monsters and items and a neat story. It's really hard, but worth it.

    and a modern reboot:

  12. Re:Wasteland. on Computer Games That Defined RPGs In the 1980s · · Score: 5, Funny

    You see an IBM AT on the table. The screen says Wasteland 2. You shiver with anticipation.

  13. Re:SEM on 'Worms From Hell' Unearth Possibilities For Extraterrestrial Life · · Score: 1

    TFA mentions that they grow to a third of an inch. Huge, no, multicellular yes.

  14. Re:Do they account for hypothesis-mining? on Fermi Lab May Have Discovered New Particle or Force · · Score: 3, Funny

    Oblig XKCD: http://xkcd.com/882/

  15. Look out Script Kiddies! on The Vatican Lauds Hackers · · Score: 1

    You've got the Vatican's attention.

  16. Re:Men and Boys on MakerBot Thing-o-Matic 3D Printer Assembly, In Pictures · · Score: 1

    But it's winter time (and freezing), why would you need an air conditioner?

  17. I can hear it now.... on Darth Vader Robs Long Island Bank · · Score: 2, Funny

    Luke.... I am your robber.

  18. Re:Nice on Brick Shooting Shotgun Built From Lego By 15-Year-Old · · Score: 1

    Even if they did give him a free lifetime supply, it might not be that long with this much gun fascination.

  19. Find me a... on Solar-Powered Shrub Car · · Score: 1

    They're going to have to find a lot of shrubberies. Perhaps they should ask Roger.

  20. Re:That's nothing, I know this guy on A Genetically Engineered Fly That Can Smell Light · · Score: 1
  21. Re:Handy for DEA... on Google Wants To Be Your Electricity Meter · · Score: 1

    wow, you caused me to google reef tanks. you have an impressive hobby.

    Would a Reefer tank be the best of both worlds?

  22. In America on US Blocking Costa Rican Sugar Trade To Force IP Laws · · Score: 0, Redundant

    1) you get the sugar
    2) you get the power
    3) you get the women

    No rules have been defined outside of the US it seems.

  23. Re:Woah on In Motor Learning, New Brain Connections Form Rapidly · · Score: 1

    No you didn't, for the eleventy billionth time.

  24. I know it's the popular thing, but... on EA Shuts Down Pandemic Studios, Cuts 200 Jobs · · Score: 1

    EA bashing is only really appropriate for recent history. Heck, early on they recognized all their development talent. They had special signed packaging for a lot of games and went out of their way to give developers freedom. I remember several great titles that helped get them to be the HUGE horrible software tyrants they are today:

    Bard's Tale
    Archon
    Mail order monsters
    Populus
    Battle Chess
    Marble Madness
    Alternate Reality
    Demon Stalkers
    Wasteland

    Those are some of my favorites anyhow.

  25. Re:One word... on IBM Takes a (Feline) Step Toward Thinking Machines · · Score: 2, Funny

    One word...

    Meow!

    Thought you only needed 32 bits for that?
