  1. Re:Um, it's too late for the Simpsons... on CueCat Seeks Simpsons Endorsement · · Score: 1

    FYI, Groening has had very little to do with the Simpsons as we know it (sans some influence in the first season or two). The rest of the success was due to Mr.Brooks and company (believe it or not). I'd like to believe that Groening is behind ALL of it though, but thats life..

  2. Re:If it was that simple...Evolution already did on Eat Less - Live Longer · · Score: 1

    "Im sure evolution would already have done it for us" Evolution implented a gene like that as a means of population control and to use resources efficiently. That specific gene allows the population to survive longer and reproduce for a longer period when compared to the *normal* fly, this is only useful in times when food is scarce. (when no food, fly lives longer thus in times of scarcity fly will be able to live reproduce for a longer period)

  3. Re:Pondering Lyrics LoL!!! on Ask 'They Might Be Giants' · · Score: 1

    ha, mod that up!

  4. a comment on Voices From The Hellmouth 4 · · Score: 1

    Everyone is ignorant some way somehow, Everyone has faults, there are A WHOLE BUNCH OF IDIOTS out there so don't let society force you to be something different. The key to sucess in society is to be PATIENT try your best to be nice to everyone (see thier good side) , you will win the favor of people, even those that despise you initially. Diligence through positive atitude garuntees respect !! (Just might take some time..) Trust me it works. Its another form of passive resistance.. these words from an avid slashdot reader/ stileproject reader/senior class president... Any responses welcome

  5. Re:WHAT THE FUCK on Has D.A.R.E Been Effective? · · Score: 1

    if your being serious, its a book "1984". its about big brother, read it sometime

  6. anesthesia and open source on Medicine And Open Source? · · Score: 1

    An excellent article found here http://www.salonmag.com/tech/feature/1999/08/05/an esthesia/index.html An anesthesiologist I worked with loved the idea of open sourcing anesthesia software, the only reason he didnt use it was *if* the software is at fault, he would be liable. There's always a catch.. More information relating to medicine and open source, for those interested can be found here, http://gasnet.med.yale.edu/lamdi/

  7. PERFECT gifts! on Your Holiday Present Wish List · · Score: 1

    Alright first the MP-786. Likko sells it under its brand name. Its a 160$ (including shipping) cd player that also plays mp3's burned on cd. Its a kick ass mp3 player you can buy from www.lik-sang.com. Check out mp3.com's glowing review at http://hardware.mp3.com/hardware/individual/portab le/3116.html. I actually bought two of 'em! and second..... "Infrared See-Through Filter PF" by kaya optics. Umm I'd like to explain it but the website does a pretty good job..http://www.kaya-optics.com/products/applicati ons.htm When you click on the link below the where it says "Voyuerism not encouraged" im sure the movie they show is illegal in most of the world... those two would be the coooolest presents for anyone to have.

  8. Re:Why making fun of gore? on Gore Puts Internet For Auction On eBay (Updated) · · Score: 1

    I agree, Gore WAS the first one to mention the internet and realize its importance way back in '89. I give props to any politician who would recognize something like the emergence of the net.

  9. About DHL on Package Shipping From USA To Russia? · · Score: 1

    Yes officially you need to be a buisiness but all you have to do is tell them that your a home based buisiness. I literally was just on the phone with DHL and they just made me an account for an item from Hong Kong. Theres nothing like the idea of being the only one in the country with a red Lenoxx MP3/CD player!
