  1. Re:still a crime on The Pirate Bay's Oldest Torrent Is Revolution OS · · Score: 1

    Exactly. I was shutoff once before. I called my ISP and a guy hinted to me that it was my uploads. Never once mentioned about downloading.

  2. Re:Buy a bag of nails, a bottle of propane, batter on Obama Administration To Allow All Spy Agencies To Scour Americans' Finances · · Score: 1

    Start thinking about how you can keep your neighbours alive during any sort of crisis, and I promise you will live much, much longer.

    Survival of the fittest. Not a chance I'll help those out. Poor planning on your part does not constitutes an emergency on mine.

    Suddenly that XDM I carry around all the time seems useful, doesn't it?

    If this country were ever to go sideways, I can assure you currency won't be stocks and cash. It will be brass and lead.

  3. Guilty. on Using Truth Serum To Confirm Insanity · · Score: 0

    Take him out of society. Harvest his organs. Move on.

  4. Re:6 teens killed in Ohio SUV crash on Ohio Judge Rules Speed Cameras Are a Scam · · Score: 1

    And people like you are why we pay so much for insurance.

  5. Re:Not a gas-hybrid on Ferrari Unveils World's Fastest (and Most Expensive) Hybrid · · Score: 1

    I found it (that was a quick search). I knew it was something like this:

    "The mechanical horsepower, also known as imperial horsepower, of exactly 550 foot-pounds per second is approximately equivalent to 745.7 watts."

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horsepower

  6. Re:Not a gas-hybrid on Ferrari Unveils World's Fastest (and Most Expensive) Hybrid · · Score: 1

    Actually, a horsepower has something to do with how much weight a horse can pull in like 2 seconds or something. This goes back fifteen years ago when I was in high school. When I get home I'll have to look it up again.

  7. Re:6 teens killed in Ohio SUV crash on Ohio Judge Rules Speed Cameras Are a Scam · · Score: 1

    I personally know grown adults that drive way worse than kids. Its not just kids. I've been driving like a grampa the day I got my license. I drive 5mph under the speed limit everywhere I go.

  8. Re:FTL on Clues of Life's Origins Found In Galactic Cloud · · Score: 2

    We'll kill each other off before we even come close to interstellar space travel.

  9. Re:Quote to Remember on Moon Mining Race Under Way · · Score: 1

    Did IQs just suddenly drop while I was away?

  10. Re:Charm school? Really? on MIT's Charm School For Geeks Turns 20 · · Score: 1

    Really tempted to mark this as insightful.

  11. Re:You would think this is parody on MIT's Charm School For Geeks Turns 20 · · Score: 1

    Just take the Red Line and call it good.

  12. I run three monitors. on Triple Monitor Solutions From AMD, Nvidia Face Off · · Score: 1

    I'm running three monitors. I play EVE Online and BF3 mainly. The downside to my setup is that I have two flatscreens and an old CRT. I use the CRT for movies, a 24" for my browser, and a 27" as my gaming screen. I tried setting up EVE on two monitors and I hated it. I couldn't imagine playing an FPS with it. Too much area to cover with your eye. I simply like to view my screen without having to turn my head. Having my browser, PC Stats / Movie, and my game in each in their own dedicated screen is awesome.

  13. First thing that came to mind. on Swimming With Spacemen In NASA's Giant NBL Pool · · Score: 1

    The movie Armageddon where the horny smart guy says "So, are we going swimming on this asteroid?"

  14. We won't see a cure. on Researchers Describe First 'Functional HIV Cure' In an Infant · · Score: 1

    We may never see a cure for any of the illnesses out there. Big Pharma makes more money on treating than curing.

  15. Re:WAY ahead of ya man on Cliff Bleszinski: Vote With Your Dollars · · Score: 1

    Once upon a time the biggest concern was if your hardware was capable of running the game or not. Now it's more " How frustrating is this experience likely to be ? "

    Holy hell. You're like me from the future. Couldn't agree more.

  16. I see this all the time. on Cliff Bleszinski: Vote With Your Dollars · · Score: 1

    Been playing MMOs for over a decade now. "This game sucks" "Why do I play this?" "This company is terrible". FFS, if its that bad DON'T PLAY. *head desk*

  17. Re:Pretty little on The Next Revolution In Medicine: Genome Scans For Everyone · · Score: 1

    No different than my medflight that was billed for $67,000.

  18. Re:broken metaphor on Crysis 3 Review: Amazing Graphics, Still a Benchmark Buster, Boring Gameplay · · Score: 5, Funny

    Obviously you've never packed a moving truck.

  19. Ashton Kutcher on Is Code.org Too Soulless To Make an Impact? · · Score: 2

    Anything promoted by Ashton Kutcher turns me away immediately. ack

  20. Re:Getting there isn't the problem on Dennis Tito's 2018 Mars Mission To Be Manned · · Score: 1

    I'm not too interested in seeing play-by-play on an astronaut's decent into madness.

    I for one would rather enjoy viewing the breaking point of that exact moment coming up on LiveLeak or something. =D

  21. I say this now. on Blizzard Set To Debut 'Something New' At PAX East · · Score: 2

    I'll say now that I'm not buying it. Then again, I say I'm cancelling my WoW account and never returning. Only, in four months I renew, level to 45, get bored, and quit again. I do this three times a year. Diablo 3, told myself I wasn't going to bother. Week after release, I bought it. Blizzard always seems to sucker me into their games. No matter how often I tell myself I'm not playing, I come back. >.
    Certainly has my attention as to what the game could be though.

  22. 501 Days? on Dennis Tito's 2018 Mars Mission To Be Manned · · Score: 1

    501 Days with the same person? 501 days with a WOMAN!?

    *spins office chair around to glance at woman sitting at the desk behind me*

    I'd jettison myself after 501 minutes. Hell with THAT.

  23. Re:light is influenced by gravity on Spinning Black Hole's Edge Rotates At Nearly the Speed of Light · · Score: 1

    I knew it was something along the lines of that. I recall something about during one of the World Wars a telescope being confiscated for thoughts of being spies, but was given back the day before some astronomers wanted to view the stars behind the sun during a solar eclipse. They did in fact able to see the stars behind the sun showing the world that the sun's gravity bent the light the went around it. This may not be 100% accurate, but I know its something along those lines.

  24. Re:WRONG! on Spinning Black Hole's Edge Rotates At Nearly the Speed of Light · · Score: 1

    Gravity certainly bends light. But as far as slowing it down, I always thought was a constant represented by the letter "c".

  25. My outlook has always been hard work may pay off in the future, but laziness pays off now. I'm the V.P. of Lazy despite what the weather is!
