  1. Re:Of those who say 'no'... on Did Humans Evolve? No, Say Americans · · Score: 1

    like fish who are starting to grow legs, or whatever

    Someone would like to have a word with you

  2. Re:Arrrgg...please don't lump me in with zealots on Did Humans Evolve? No, Say Americans · · Score: 1

    Lets break this down

    1 What about it are you against...?

    2 If you are against it, presumably you are against it because you believe its wrong

    3 and the only way you can believe its wrong is if ou think its killing a human being, aka, murder.
    This last line is where your argument breaks down. How is that the ONLY way that abortion can be wrong? You are making a pretty big assumption there. Why don't you try asking him his reasoning instead of trying to create enemies where there aren't any. That's the government's job.

    4 So, if you think its murder, how can you think it should be legal?

  3. Re:How biased is THAT... on Did Humans Evolve? No, Say Americans · · Score: 1

    I imagine that they limited the poll to countries where the poll-taker wouldn't be killed for asking the question (admittedly, they were pushing it in certain parts of the US)

  4. Re:Seals the deal on Nintendo Confirms Free Online Play For Wii · · Score: 1

    No way! The last console I owned was a Sega Genesis and I'm pretty sure I'm getting a Wii (if I get any console at all)

  5. Re:With proper training... on Biometric Terrorist Detector · · Score: 1

    No, it's something a person needs to learn how to do.

  6. Re:Avatar, Excite Truck, and Spongebob are fine on The 27 Known Wii Launch Titles · · Score: 1

    The Wii version hasn't even been confirmed yet. At the moment it is only being made for the PC.

    Take a look at this interview with Will Wright from a few days ago.

  7. Re:Avatar, Excite Truck, and Spongebob are fine on The 27 Known Wii Launch Titles · · Score: 1

    I am so pissed that Spore got pushed back to the second half of 2007.

    Better a far-off release than an incomplete game, I guess. *sigh*

  8. With proper training... on Biometric Terrorist Detector · · Score: 1

    With proper biofeedback training, you can learn to control your own biometric responses (heart rate, galvanic skin response, etc). If anything like this were put into place, the terrorists would simply resort to that kind of training.

  9. Right... on Google Sends Legal Threats to Media Organizations · · Score: 1

    Because the last thing that Google wants is to join the ranks of Coke and Xerox and other companies whose product is pretty much synonomous with their respective industries.

  10. Re:I still cannt beat EP1 on Echoes of Episode Two · · Score: 2, Funny

    2.66 GHz is low end?

    Oh fuck, I'm old.

  11. Re:Portal on Echoes of Episode Two · · Score: 2, Interesting

    That is exactly what I was going to say. Prey's got nothing on Portal.

    BTW, have you played Narbacular Drop?

    As I went to the web site to confirm the URL, I just noticed that there are 15 new fan-made levels. I must play them when I get home.

  12. Taking all bets... on Matt Damon as Kirk in Star Trek XI? · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Taking all bets on how long it will be until Abram's mutilated corpse turns up.

  13. Re:One reason? Gallic weirdness on Why Beyond Good and Evil Tanked · · Score: 1

    The pig is only with her for the first half of the game until he gets kidnapped by the bad guys, and then again for a short period at the end of the game. If you got to the point where you rescued the way-too-enthusiastic soldier guy, he becomes the new sidekick shortly after the pig disappears.

    It's kind of assumed that, because this game takes place in the distant future, the animals are genetically engineered human hybrids.

  14. MEGA-SPOILER on Why Beyond Good and Evil Tanked · · Score: 1

    You completly left out the part about how we find out near the end that the main character, unbeknownst to her, was actually a split-off part of the main bad guy, raised by humans.

  15. Re:Trailer on Why Beyond Good and Evil Tanked · · Score: 1

    That'll teach me to not preview before I post.

    ignore the bold on everything after the word 'last'

  16. Re:Trailer on Why Beyond Good and Evil Tanked · · Score: 1

    I can tell you that the last thing that BG&E is, is boring. It is possibly one of the best games in recent years. It is a crime that it didn't get the marketing that it deserved.

  17. Re:Prioritized Citizenship? on United States Cedes Control of the Internet · · Score: 1

    I'll change it to something bigger when I gain the ability to leave earth.

  18. Re:Prioritized Citizenship? on United States Cedes Control of the Internet · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Are you a citizen of the United States first? A citizen of Texas? A citizen of Chicago? A citizen of the Bronx? A citizen of North America? A citizen of yourself?

    Earth

  19. Re:What JMS should do on Babylon 5 Coming Back? · · Score: 1

    Is it about the past? I guess I didn't notice that bit. I thought it was about what happened to the characters after the series.

  20. Re:What JMS should do on Babylon 5 Coming Back? · · Score: 1

    I recall an episode of Star Trek: Voyager (yeah, I watched it. Sue me) where Kate Mulgrew played a 20th century ancestor of Janeway. You are right, it is cheesy, but I don't think it is intended to be realistic. It is more of a cinematic tool to identify the ancestor with the character that we are more familier with.

  21. Re:Dupe! on Deja Vu Recreated in a Lab Setting · · Score: 1

    Ok kids, who saw that one coming?

  22. What JMS should do on Babylon 5 Coming Back? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Strazinski could still do a G'Kar story, showing the effects of G'Kar's travels around the galaxy. G'Kar himself wouldn't actually have to appear.

  23. Please read the related article..... on Air Marshals Place Innocents on Secret Watch List · · Score: 4, Informative

    There is an article linked to from that page about how horribly mismanaged the Federal Air Marshals Service is.

  24. Re:Games building upon spore. on What Spore May Spawn · · Score: 1

    Have you ever played Second Life? Admittedly not the same thing, but you will definitely find it interesting.

  25. Re:So, according to TFA... on Legal DVD Burnable Downloads Launched · · Score: 1

    Hey man! Zombie Flesheaters is a classic!
