  1. Re:Anyone know where I can find reproductions? on Rare Soviet Retro-Future Space Art · · Score: 1

    Go to http://www.flickr.com/photos/eriknitsche, download the original size images, print them up on a wide format printer.

  2. iTablet screen to be bigger on Kindle Versus The iPhone · · Score: 1

    the iTablet or Mac Tablet, whatever they call it, will have a bigger screen than the iPhone and will be better for web browsing than either the iPhone or Kindle.

  3. Re:Apple missed the boat... on Amazon's Ebook The Future of Reading? · · Score: 1

    Something tells me The Safari web browser on the iPhone is better than the one on the Kindle.

    If not, then the one on Apple's iTablet (or Mac Tablet; whatever they call it) will certainly be better. I suspect the tablet will be fine for ebooks as well.

  4. Re:"young people"? not the ones I know on Original Marvel Comics Going Online · · Score: 1

    Issues 1-100 are better than what you probably would allow kids to mess up.

  7. And 89 is? Re:Real reason for his name... on YouTube Video Warned About School Shooting · · Score: 1

    And 89 is the number of videos he posted to youtube.

    While I'm here, I see a lot of knee-jerk reacions to other knee-jerk reactions.
    Of course we shouldn't throw everyone in jail who makes a violent video or writes a violent paper. What we need is some common sense. Lacking that, we can come up with an arbitrary numeric threshold of suspicious actions required before we investigate someone. I propose that number be 88.

  8. Press Release Call Ballmer an "Android" on Ballmer Calls Android a "Press Release" · · Score: 1

    In Soviet Union... ah, never mind.
    I, for one, welcome our robotic chair-throwing overlords!

    Yeah, that's got it.

  9. Tesla has R&D facilities in Detroit on Is the Future of the Electric Car Industry in Silicon Valley? · · Score: 1

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla_motors#Michigan_Technical_Center

    OK, not exactly IN Detroit, but almost as close as Ford's Dearborn Headquarters, and everyone considers that to be in Detroit.

  10. Oh, cool! on Asus Insider Claims Apple Tablet Is Real · · Score: 1

    "Wait 63 days before purchasing any new hardware from Apple, unless you don't mind paying 33% extra to have a new Apple gadget 2 months before others!!!"

    So that means we're within 2 weeks of the iPod Touch price drop?

    Good.

  11. Re:works on Mac OS X too on Fake Codec is Mac OS X Trojan · · Score: 2, Funny

    No, they don't. And that part I mentioned about enabling the root account was just a big lie. A really big lie. Macs don't even have a terminal program. And they use a one-button mouse. And they only do black and white.

  12. works on Mac OS X too on Fake Codec is Mac OS X Trojan · · Score: 1

    just enable the root account and type that into the terminal.

  13. caches on TV Links Raided, Operator Arrested · · Score: 3, Informative

    http://www.jstor.org/view/00076287/ap020301/02a00030/0

    Giorgio Vasari (July 30, 1511 - June 27, 1574) was an Italian painter and architect, known for his famous biographies of Italian artists.

    He would have seen the Mona Lisa when it was relatively new.

  17. Re:how much? on High-Res Scan of Mona Lisa Reveals Its History · · Score: 1

    That, my anonymous friend, is the six million dollar question.

  18. Anyone want to bet on Interpol Unscrambles Doctored Photo In Manhunt · · Score: 1

    They just twirled the image in the reverse direction?

    Sometimes the simplest idea is the least obvious.

  19. Don't trust any audiophile over 30 on James Randi Posts $1M Award On Speaker Cables · · Score: 1

    They just can't hear what younger listeners can. My hearing >15KHz became a thing of the past when I was in my 30s.

  20. Covered in TFA on Self-Tuning Electric Guitar · · Score: 1

    "This isn't the first, or the most advanced, self-tuning guitar system on the market.

  23. So "If we don't fight them in Iraq... on Eavesdropping Didn't Help Uncover Terrorist Plot · · Score: 1

    ...we will have to fight them at home" is a lie too?

    Or does Germany not count because it's not US soil?

  24. And it sold rather well, did it not? on DOS 5 Upgrade Video · · Score: 1

    Certainly must have sold better than Vista. Are people getting smarter?
