  1. Almost... on Japan's Newest Linux Supercluster: 13TB RAM · · Score: 1

    ...but not quite enough to hold my...friends'...entire pr0n collection in memory.

  2. You Don't Know Where That Thing's Been on Waterproof MP3 Player Uses Bone Conduction · · Score: 1

    The waterproof mp3 player reminds me of the Finger Phone. At least with the mp3 player you don't have to walk around with finger stuck in your ear.

  3. Re:Live Novel Writing on Kamikaze Novel Writing · · Score: 2, Interesting

    His revenge for finally being made to provide a Star Trek script (The City On The Edge Of Forever) he had promised by being locked overnight in Bob Justman's office was to eat Justman's potted plant.

    Kind of makes one wonder what other things people do while writing...

  4. Re:woohoo on George Lucas to Receive Lifetime Achievement Award · · Score: 1

    Indian jones? You mean Indiana Jones?

    ...something about a native american remake or one from India...

  5. Live Novel Writing on Kamikaze Novel Writing · · Score: 2, Funny

    ...a very good crowd has turned out to watch local boy Thomas Hardy write his new novel 'The Return Of The Native,' on this very pleasant July morning...

  6. Now If Only... on GMail Drive Shell Extension · · Score: 2, Interesting

    ...it had a setting that would let me connect more than one gmail account to one virtual drive... I could use my invites to create more gmail accounts for myself...exponential progression...free multi-tb drive for me!

  7. 1300? That's all? on Biggest Console System Collection on eBay · · Score: 0

    I know where you can get a few million Atari cartridges, nice and cheap...

  8. Why Don't You Come With Me Little Girl... on SpaceShipOne Captures the X Prize · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    on a magic carpet ride?

  9. Re:Well Blow Me Down! on Spinach May Soon Power Mobile Devices · · Score: 0

    I never could stand dygad boy. He always reminded me of Eddie Haskell.

  10. Re:Vaporware on Universal Emulators Return · · Score: 0

    I guess that would make two different contests then- one for any nested emulation, including duplicates if they are in fact running inside of each other. The other for the greatest number of not-same nested emulation (emulate a inside of b inside of a inside of b, etc..).

  11. Re:Vaporware on Universal Emulators Return · · Score: 0

    Does anyone know what the record is for nested emulation- a computer emulating program a, which is emulating program b, which is emulating program c, etc.?

  12. What Was That On The Emperor's Head? on 378 Terabytes Of Star Wars on 600 G5s · · Score: 0

    I've always wondered what that thing is on the emperor's head in Return Of The Jedi. In several shots there's what looks like an edited-in black blob floating over the emperor's head (well, more like his ear, but i'm not sure). I've been wondering, since the 80s no less, what the heck that thing is? The best guess i've been able to come up with is that there was something wrong with the actor's makeup that they had to cover up.

    I'm terribly curious if they cleaned this up for whatever the new version is, but nowhere near enough to purchase this new dose of crap/Lucas ego/childhood memory destroyer. I wonder if they ever completely cleaned up those matte boxes following moving ships around?

  13. Hibernation on Should Star Trek Die? · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Of course it shouldn't die. It should go into hibernation.

  14. Custer on Atari To Release Old Games and New Console System · · Score: 0

    Think they'll have Custer's Revenge?

  15. Re:What is Final Fantasy? on Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Impressions · · Score: 1

    Too bad the original poster wasn't me then.

  16. Re:What is Final Fantasy? on Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Impressions · · Score: 0

    Final Fantasy is a series of video games from Nintendo, from Final Fantasy I in 1987 up to the yet-to-be-released Final Fantasy XII. This site has a history of Final Fantasy I through X. Here's a site for Final Fantasy XII

  17. Aeris! on Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Impressions · · Score: 5, Funny

    If you buy 3 large popcorns, 1 small no-ice Dr Pepper, 1 box of Jr Mints, then enter the hidden theater 5 spaces down and 2 spaces to the left of the ticket booth, you can see the version with Aeris resurrected!

  18. Re:is that the one... on Made for TV Ewok Movies to be Released on DVD · · Score: 1

    ...where a stoned Carrie Fisher sings.

  19. Christmas? on Made for TV Ewok Movies to be Released on DVD · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Any chance we'll get the Star Wars Holiday Special on DVD?

  20. Swiss Army Knives And Your Computer on The Swiss Army Knife of USB Drives · · Score: 1

    Ya know...you could use the screwdriver on your computer- opening or closing the case, adding or removing drives. You could use the knife to help pull out those hard to get ahold of jumpers. You could use the knife to cut CAT5. You can use the light to help see those tiny letters on your board.

  21. The Only Way on Lucas to Make Sequels to Star Wars After All? · · Score: 1

    ...episodes 7, 8, and 9 will not suck is if we can manage to put Lucas off the job long enough for him to die.

  22. Constitutional Rights on Hackers Take Aim at Republicans · · Score: 1

    ...Are you a member of any group or organization that advocates or practices acts of force or violence to prevent others from exercising their constitutional rights...

  23. Why Can't They... on Mandelbrot Suggests A Hunt For Financial Patterns · · Score: 2, Interesting
    If millions can contribute a few cycles of their PCs to the search for a signal from outer space, why can't they join a coordinated search for patterns in financial markets?
    Everyone one could join such a search, but why would they? We contribute cycles to SETI because we want to find aliens. We contribute cycles to cancer projects because we want to find a cure. Where's our incentive to contribute cycles to a financial project?
  24. Just Think Of The Fun on Living Without a Pulse · · Score: 1

    ...you could have at parties, meetings, and so on. Just sit/lie/lean there, not moving, wait til someone takes your pulse, and watch everyone go nuts.

    Of course, with my luck, the person who knows CPR won't be Hello Nurse...

  25. Even Numbered Movies...A New Rule on Star Trek XI: Romulan Wars? · · Score: 1

    How about this: Even numbered movies are better than odd, accept when it ends in 0, then look at the next digit. Nemesis (movie 10) would count as 1, and therefore suck. Movie 20 would count as 2, and therefore not suck.
