  1. Re:New! with 50% less stink! on Is Microsoft Improving Its Image? · · Score: 1

    In what ways, exactly?

    WHOOOSH

    And what does Marty say after Doc keeps repeating '1.21 Jigowatts' over and over after hearing himself say it on the video tape?

    What the hell is a Jiggawatt?

  4. Re:Accessories? on NVIDIA Offers 3D Glasses For the Masses · · Score: 4, Funny

    I just had a horrible thought.

    What if someone used this technology for a mod for Mirror's Edge.

  5. Re:Accessories? on NVIDIA Offers 3D Glasses For the Masses · · Score: 5, Insightful

    The problem is that when we are walking around all day seeing in 3d, we can focus on things at different distances by flexing the lenses of our eyes.

    In a 3d movie, everything is at the same focal length (the distance from your eyes to the screen) regardless of how far away it appears to be.

    That's going to cause some degree of eye strain no matter what.

  6. Someone please answer this? on IPv4 Address Use In 2008 · · Score: 3, Funny

    Why not just take every existing IPv4 address and make it an alias for the same IPv6 address, but with 5 zeros in front of it? And declare that the owners of those IPv4 addresses now own the corresponding IPv6 addresses?

  7. Re:The labor unions are squirming... on Nanocar Wins Top Science Award · · Score: 1

    Let'em complain. Our nanites will be building objects based on open source patterns.

  8. Re:Is anyone playing this game? on Mechanical AI Made In LittleBigPlanet · · Score: 5, Funny

    Look up at the top of the page and read the smaller words just to the right of the site name. "News for nerds"

    You might be a gamer, and after looking at your comment history I note that you're even a tech. But if you don't see the appeal in making things like this, then you aren't a nerd.

  9. Re:Finally! on EA Is Now Officially On Steam, Spore Loses SecuROM · · Score: 1

    No. Not all games are over-hyped.

    Really good games, for instance, are so under-hyped that they never get mentioned at all. That's why no one buys them.

  10. Re:Ha-ha. on When Teachers Are Obstacles To Linux In Education · · Score: 1

    I believe drug dealers operate the same way.

  11. Enough jokes about it going from 1 to 3 people.... on IPv6 Adoption Up 300 Percent Over 2 Years · · Score: 1

    Seriously, what percentage of internet nodes are now IPv6 compliant? Anyone have those numbers?

  12. Re:Please...Remake: I, Robot on New Asimov Movies Coming · · Score: 1

    They don't need to 'remake' "I, Robot".

    They need to actually make an "I, Robot" movie. Actually make, for the first time, a movie that follows the fucking plot of the book.

    I'm not saying that the Will Smith movie was bad. It was pretty descent sci-fi action movie, but I still don't understand why they tried to connect it with Asimov. They should have kept the original title of the script, "Hardwired".

  13. Re:The Will Smith movie wasn't based on Asimov's b on New Asimov Movies Coming · · Score: 1

    Did you read the book?

    It's not that she was ugly, she was old.

    Like, great-grandma old.

    I hate you.

  17. Re:Hasn't anybody read on Philosophy and Computer Science Revisited · · Score: 1

    I read about half of it. Couldn't make it much further than that.

    Read the dialogues from the rest of the book, though.

    It's a great book.

  18. Principa Cybernetica on Philosophy and Computer Science Revisited · · Score: 4, Informative

    This is one of the first websites I discovered when I first started getting on the internet back in the early to mid 90s.

  19. Why not both? on Should the United States' New CTO Really Be a CIO? · · Score: 1

    Why not have a CTO and a CIO?

  21. Re:Guess who cares about your anti-EA opinions? on EA Forum Ban Will Now Mean EA Game Ban · · Score: 5, Insightful

    EA makes great games, most of which I have played through and through.

    I'll always buy their games, if it interests me, as most of their titles have.

    Most of you are silver spoon fed arrogant bastards who think EA owes you something.

    They don't. They owe you NOTHING.

    If I pay them for a game, then they owe me a functional game.

    Maybe what happened to me happened to a bunch of people, and that's why they started putting it in a separate box.

    The plastic bag that my copy of Wired came in had a big hole in it when it got to my house. The CueCat was either stolen or it fell out.
