  1. personally, I find Dr Bob fresh and amusing... on Poor Picture At Your Local Cinema? · · Score: 1

    but you're still a quack, and an idiot.

    or a successful troll.

  2. Re:Hmm...I don't know... on Neuromancer Movie Deal Moving Forward · · Score: 1

    The actual brain / machine interface is the hard bit.

    I thought you just let the nervous system figure it out for itself?

  3. Re:Sorry to sound apologetic... on Google Founders' Jets Caught On WSJ's Radar · · Score: 1

    This rich asshole thinks you peons shouldn't require eight hours of undisturbed sleep.

  4. Re:Can't make me; Don't want to on Neuromancer Movie Deal Moving Forward · · Score: 1

  5. must haves: on Neuromancer Movie Deal Moving Forward · · Score: 1

    1. Operation Screaming Fist.
    2. low-G / zero-G sequences in Freeside / villa Straylight
    3. Rastafarian space navy flying around in pot-smoke filled space tug.
    4. The conversation on the last page where wintermute/neurmancer says that it has found others like itself.

    Nah, this should go straight to DVD, with those side stories spun off as extras, where they can be properly unfurled.

  6. Re:Please be good on Neuromancer Movie Deal Moving Forward · · Score: 1

    Their pricing (about 10X the cost of actual military) is further evidence they're not being undercut by anyone.

    Also proof that shatters the Teabaggers' lie that the free market is always cheaper than the gubbamint.

  7. I'm with you, bro! on Neuromancer Movie Deal Moving Forward · · Score: 2

    I keep telling them I don't want these flames coming out of my faucet!

  8. Re:The Future of the Past on Neuromancer Movie Deal Moving Forward · · Score: 1

    No matter what they do with the film, I'm sure Screw-Sorting robot X-43 will pan it.

  9. I'd pay, and gladly! on Google Abandons Plan To Archive World's Newspapers · · Score: 1

    If google collected, OCR'd and indexed everything they can get their hands on.
    If the price was set at the original issue price.
    If I owned/had access forever.
    If they had some workable payment system.

    I thought it was really neat when old magazines and newspapers started showing up in some of my searches. It would often be worth buying a copy of a paper when researching things. Or at least having the option of doing so.

  10. Re:Half and half on Neuromancer Movie Deal Moving Forward · · Score: 2

    Half of me is excited for the white-knuckle thrill ride and half of me dreads what crap they will spew forth.

    I've got a rock that keeps zombies away, if you're interested. I assure you, the price is right.

  14. let's just get this out of the way... on Inside NVIDIA's Massive Hardware Emulation Lab · · Score: 1, Redundant

    imagine a beowulf cluster[1] of these, could they run Crysis ?


    [1]"Does it run Linux?" is implied here...

    paging Ted Nelson, Ted Nelson please pick up the yellow courtesy phone in the lobby of failed ideas...

  16. universities, WTF ?!!! on Academic Publishers Ask The Impossible In GSU Copyright Suit · · Score: 1

    I thought academia was all about freely sharing knowledge for the betterment of Mankind.

    Why are they even supporting these greedy publishers of textbooks and journals? It's the 21st century people, time to dump the middlemen.
    /hopelessly naieve

    Don't forget a fan in the dash to simulate the wind in your hair and bass drivers to get a good, throaty VROOM VROOM!

  20. Re:Too untested on Google Lobbies Nevada To Allow Self-Driving Cars · · Score: 1

    Depends how fast you drive, now doesn't it?

    Of course, at some point, relativistic effects come into play. I wonder what the break-even point is?

  21. at least they're not freeloaders on Google Lobbies Nevada To Allow Self-Driving Cars · · Score: 1

    Hey, at least they're asking for special rights to develop self-driving cars. It's not like they're not wanting to set up a tax dodge so they don't have to pay taxes in their home state, where their CEO lives.

  22. Re:zeus canon misfires again, s. hillary evacuates on Mainstream Media Looks At Anonymous · · Score: 0

    dude, don't do that to me.

  23. my explaination on Mainstream Media Looks At Anonymous · · Score: 1

    Anonymous is like the "take a penny, leave a penny" tray at the checkout at the mini mart.
