  1. We need to contact. on Blimps To Help Protect Washington DC From Air Attack · · Score: 1

    We need to get into contact with the guy in charge of the tanks and see if they can swap the Helium with the Hydrogen.

  2. Re:Brilliant! on Blimps To Help Protect Washington DC From Air Attack · · Score: 1

    You do realize that they tend to use Helium now-a-days, right? And helium is fire retardant.

    I'd list a bunch of "Archer" quotes from one of my favorite episodes, but I'm too lazy to look them up.

    Welcome aboard the Excelsior!

  3. Soundboards on FTC Gets 744 New Ideas On How To Hang Up On Robocallers · · Score: 1

    If I get a call and I'm at a computer, I quickly load up a soundboard and answer with that. Duke Nukem being my favorite.

    How Sol get pragnet?

    Jesus. Its been, what, ten years since I've played Diablo II and I still get reminded of the Runewords.

  5. Laziness on Walk or Run: Are We Built To Be Lazy? · · Score: 1

    Hard work may pay off in the future, but laziness pays off now.

    Not exactly. You can sell off your assets to which you can buy PLEX; or in game time cards. Those are only used for monthly subscriptions. Now, if you were to start selling your PLEX cards for real money then you might make an income.

  7. Re:Can't stick with it. on How EVE Online Dealt With a 3,000-Player Battle · · Score: 1

    Well, I do accept it. But I don't even stand a fighting chance. I'll spend 8h scoping out radar sites in lowsec, find one, and in 10 seconds I'm blown to bits. Its just that high amount of work to be lost in just a few moments that really gets me all up in a rage. haha

  8. Can't stick with it. on How EVE Online Dealt With a 3,000-Player Battle · · Score: 2

    I love this game. I do. But it seems once I get enough SPs that I deem comfortable to leave high sec and venture into nul sec, I get scrammed, webbed, and podded before I have a moment to react. At this point I got bored of mission running and frustrated by getting the absolute shit kicked out of me, I quit. Then, two months later I start a new account and start the process all over again.

    I have no idea how CCP makes such a boring yet intense game that is fascinatingly addictive. =P

  9. Re:Provoking on Machine Gun Fire From Military Helicopters Flying Over Downtown Miami · · Score: 1

    What happens when those citizens start shooting back?

    It's not like Miami is an unarmed area.

    Nothing of value will be lost.

  10. Re:Provoking on Machine Gun Fire From Military Helicopters Flying Over Downtown Miami · · Score: 1

    No excuse necessary, apparently.

    But this is as likely a desensitization exercise.

    Exactly. Where I live, we ALL open carry. We're also a HUGE tourist town. So when we get visitors in the summer time, my friends and I get approached from flatlanders about our guns. I've even had people leave a pizza shop when I entered with a gun in my holster. Its a way of life up here.

  11. Re:Brilliant idea on Google Declares War On the Password · · Score: 2

    I use an algorithm based on the website's name to generate my password. Just the name of the site and a math formula gets me to every site I need.

  12. Re:I feel safer already. on New York Passes Landmark Gun Law · · Score: 1

    One slight flaw: assault weapons are designed for one purpose - to kill lots of other people quickly.

    Precisely. A larger capacity, high powered rifle will kill more people quickly and efficiently. Why should I be denied that access if I should ever have to defend my life, my property, and the ones I love? If I were ever in a situation like that and I had to choose from a soup spoon, a knife, a rifle, or a six shooter, I'm telling you'd I'd go with the rifle.

  13. Re:news for nerds on New York Passes Landmark Gun Law · · Score: 1

    This is "stuff that matters".

    You're right. For a lot of people it doesn't matter. As long as they are able to watch Hollywood Housewives, use smartphones they can't afford, drive disposable vehicles, and drink energy drinks by the gallon, they could care less about this country being run into the ground. And the four years haven't even started yet. We've officially hit rock bottom and have started to dig.

  14. What bothers me. on Microsoft Patents Tech That Would Silence Your Phone For You · · Score: 1

    What bothers me is that you folks walk around with a device in your pocket tracking your every move, every purchase, every "like", and every time you belch. I can't see myself ever doing that.

  15. Doomsday already happened. on The World Remains Five Minutes From Midnight · · Score: 1

    Just look at the last election.

  16. Huh. on Symbian Sells Millions, Despite Nokia Pushing Windows Phone · · Score: 1

    And here I thought this was going to be an article about the vibrating thing that chicks sit on to get off. .

    I must have ten grand sitting on my HDD. =D

  18. Re:Meanwhile... on Asteroid Apophis Just Got Bigger · · Score: 1

    What's actually being done to prepare against an asteroid strike? Or are our government stooges just planning to throw every nuke we have at this thing?

    By the time this thing comes around and has a chance to hit, I'm probably going to be thankful this is going to happen with where the U.S. is heading.

    Inform everyone about how to operate, maintain, and respect firearms.

    It's only micro when it's soft, baby.

    Anyone else read that in Duke Nukem's voice?

  21. It was a cool experience. on Worldwide Shortage of Barium · · Score: 1

    I had this done about ten years ago. It was disgusting though. Tastes so bad. But they mixed in Crystal Light so it wouldn't taste as bad. My issue was that I ingested too much and they couldn't get a good view. It was awesome though because they had this live-feed video camera xray dealio. So I could see the stuff go down my throat at the moment I ingested it. Then they gave me ice cream and you could clearly see it go into my stomach. Neat stuff.

    Stochiometric.

    Fifteen years and I finally have a use for remembering that term. =D

    Drive a shitty car with the doors unlocked and the key in the ignition. Worked for me for over a decade now!

    Automatic weapons are regulated at the federal level.

    He either has a million dollars invested in guns between the tax and guns themselves, or he has been buying his guns illegally, or you are mistaken.

    Not really sure where he got them. He had them before we met. Since we've known each other he's gotten a few more. He trades a lot. We buy our firearms from friends and stuff. I get mine from an FFL dealer in town. I do have several of my own but none are automatics and I don't have that many. I do reload though and carry a decent amount of ammo and supplies. We are in a small boonie town in the woods. Not much happens here. Not common to see trucks with gun racks in them. Its pretty redneck. But I love it.

  25. Re:Lousy ideas on Using Technology To Make Guns Safer · · Score: 1

    Never said it was non-lethal. Just less lethal. I had rock salt for awhile. But I just changed to buckshot. I know a few people that have rock salt. Some people don't want to live with the fact they took someone's life. Rock salt being less lethal, allows for the suspect to have a better chance of surviving and facing prosecution.
