  1. The Real... Outerworld on Space Stations That Suck · · Score: 1

    This is a story of seven people picked to live in a tube and have their lives raped to find out what happens when Americans stop being polite and start beating on Russians.

  2. Re:AYBABTU on Pillars Underwater · · Score: 1

    All your base are belong to us.

  3. Disney Propaganda on Pillars Underwater · · Score: 1

    After reading it, I thought, "Oh my." Then when hearing they were naturally occuring, I thought, "Wonder how much Disney shelled out to delay the release of this information."

  4. Collected data used for... marketing, predictably. on Using Cell Devices To Monitor Traffic Flow · · Score: 2

    "give operators better abilities to route traffic around congestion." That's a lie. It's going to be sold to marketing agencies for better billboard placement/pricing. Like Nelson ratings but what rode the commuters are using rather than what channel the viewers are watching.

  5. The Great Balance on Global Warming: Do You Believe? · · Score: 1

    I believe global warming will balance out the temperatures of earth come the next Ice Age, at the end of which a nuclear winter will ensure a stable balance when the world starts heating up again. Or perhaps I'm just cynicle.

  6. Re:There you go again on Nuclear Booster Rockets · · Score: 1

    How does "Waste Storage Issues" become a problem? Last I checked, there's a mighty large bit of unclaimed, uninhabited space where the leftover product is going to be heading towards, ie space.

  7. Not good for cameos on Movies in Space? · · Score: 2

    Most video clips of astronauts are either of them on very short stays or very long stays in space. Anywhere in between and their bodies are told to shut down and stop moving by the brain, which can't figure out what's up and what's down. Of course, the brains way of stopping the body is vomitting. You never see a man running full speed and vomitting at the same time, now you know why. Applies to sailors, too.

  8. What they don't mention... on Clonaid, Lullabyes, Gerbils · · Score: 1

    is how the Gerbil project ended when the homosexual scientist on the team went to the hospital for 3rd degree burns to his face as caused by methane gases lit when he needed to search out the gerbil in his partners rectum.

  9. Never Forget on U.S. Judge To Hear Yahoo! Web-Blocking Case · · Score: 1

    Apparently "Never Forget" only qualifies for people who are lowbrow enough to not sue for forced discrepance.

  10. Re:I hope this falls through... on Does Defamation Know Borders? · · Score: 1

    Yes but even if an Australian court rules against him, would the U.S. government enforce the ruling if the defendent flipped the bird to Australia? Pfff no.

  11. 101 Uses for AOL Disks on 101 Uses for an Old Server · · Score: 1

    Kinda reminiscent of that old 101 Uses for AOL Disks people get in the mail.

  12. Nature Nurture on What Will Human Cloning Mean For Humanity? · · Score: 1

    One of the many things human cloning is gonna destroy is determinism.

  13. Favorite memory of Conspiracy Theorist on Fox Moon Special Response · · Score: 1

    Reminds me of the only guy I know who spoke out on his disbelief of the lunar landing (granted, I never saw the Fox special). He believed that the world was flat, too. Which I suppose is the grander scheme of things, with the lunar landing being a small coverup to him.

  14. Informed Consent on Sun, Motorola Want Radio Tags In All Consumer Goods · · Score: 1

    'Scuse me while I cry for the forgotten lessons learned at the Nuremburg trials.

  15. Re:Psychology knows on Cal Schools May Nix SAT In Admissions Process · · Score: 1

    Tell that to Albert Einstein.

  16. Psychology knows on Cal Schools May Nix SAT In Admissions Process · · Score: 1

    One of the biggest bugs up my Psych professors ass is the major assumption that tests administered by the state and other educational institutions are the be-all end-all of intelligence tests, and when someone fails no one bothers to check and see if maybe the test is only testing the test takers ability to take a test, ie many confounds can be involved.

  17. Disadvantage on The End Of Books As We Know Them? · · Score: 1

    Don't quote me on this, but I've been told by my psych professor (PhD in neuropsychology) that studies have tested recall abilities comparing print vs computer display materials. CDM subjects did significantly poorer.

  18. Tried it, ditched it on 3DFX Motion Blur In Action · · Score: 1

    I specifically remember John Carmack's .plan update a long, long time ago about his decision to not use motion blurs in Q3 because it's bupkiss ingame, and it's only use is for pretty screen shots.

  19. Re:We need to visit Pluto NOW!!! on Number 9, Here We Come? · · Score: 1

    After 2020? Even if we forego'd all the planning and authorizing and launched a probe today, could it get there by 2020?

  20. Re:I'm sorry! It's may fault! on 3Dfx No More -- NVidia Purchases Video Card Maker · · Score: 1

    The incredibly scary thing is that MS may very well go under soon. Well, scary in coincidence, promising otherwise.

  21. Disgusting proportion on Spammer Pleads Guilty · · Score: 2

    If he gets 7 years, it's a sad day indeed. Mike Tyson got less then 7 for rape, didn't he?

  22. USSR's KGB on Will Britain Log All Communications For 7 Years? · · Score: 1

    They say the KGB all ran when communism collapsed. Now we know where to.

  23. Don't be fooled on Is The Internet Destroying Spanish? · · Score: 1

    The English killed off Irish and Scottish-Gaelic languages. Spanish is next.

  24. Plausable on land, but water? on Dinosaurs Never Held Heads High · · Score: 1

    Even if it is impossible for long-necks to walk around on land with a head up hand, how about water dwellers?

  25. Not terribly different than other products on Obfuscated Circuitry? · · Score: 1

    I don't see how reverse engineering is terribly different than, say, trying to replicate the taste of Coke. There are tons of knock-offs of Coca-Cola, and I doubt any one of them wasn't spawned from someone trying to recreate Coke.
