  1. We could on Could Black Holes Be Portals to Other Universes? · · Score: 1, Troll

    throw lawyers in and listen for the sucking sound.

  2. They can't spy on you on Spy Act of 2007 = "Vendors Can Spy Act" · · Score: 1

    if you're not in your parents' basement.

  3. It says you must use IE. on Why are Websites Still Forcing People to Use IE? · · Score: 1

    But what does it do if you don't? Does it look like crap? Does if fail to load? If so, does it refuse to serve FF? What about the other alternatives? Or is it a matter of sloppy scripting by the site designer?

  4. I just hope something comes out soon. on Team Fortress 2 Has PC/360 Cross Platform Play · · Score: 1

    Whether it be TF2 or Fortress Forever, we need something to come out that can breath new life into my beloved Girlpower server.

  5. Gives new meaning on Georgia Tech Unveils Prototype Nanogenerator · · Score: 1

    to cube farm.

  6. Re:Who is John Galt? on Georgia Tech Unveils Prototype Nanogenerator · · Score: 1

    Padme dies.

  7. This isn't the first time they've done this. on Circuit City and the American Dream · · Score: 1

    They did this about six years ago. It didn't kill them then. But with all the contributing factors in their downward spiral, it probably wasn't any extra load on that camel. This time though... I give them 12 more months before they start closing more stores.

  8. If you 'steal' from the RIAA on RIAA Says Accused Students Are Settling · · Score: 1

    and get sued, then pay the settlement,...

    Does that mean you then legally have rights to the music you pirated?

  9. Death: The Philosopher on Gifted Children Find Heavy Metal Comforting · · Score: 1

    Who says metal lyrics don't matter?

  10. Re:nonsense on Hummer Greener Than Prius? · · Score: 5, Funny

    Yes, but what if that object is grasping the husk of a coconut with it's talons? And what if it takes two of those objects grasping the husk of a coconut with their talons?

  11. What kind of idiot reads Playboy? on Ten Maxims Every FPS Should Follow · · Score: 1

    Please. Maxim and the lot are nothing more that Playboy with pasties.
    And the only value you might get out of Playboy is the old articles by HST.

  12. Re:My personal nemesis... on IT Departments Fear Growing Expertise of Users · · Score: 1

    You should say, "No, I hate people. I'm also a sadist."

  13. Re:Sometimes it "has to fit" on IT Departments Fear Growing Expertise of Users · · Score: 1

    Have any of them bothered to create a separate lower access account to work in? I tried to get my boss to do this at one point. I told him it wasn't a good idea to always log in as administrator, especially when he visited gambling and other questionable sites. He'd never listen. Every three or four months he would complain of how slow the machine was and how worthless IT was. It took over a year of constant cleaning to eventually get him to understand what was causing his computer to freeze out. I was eventually successful in seeding my distrust of people on teh internets.

  14. If you're gonna quote, do it right. on Groklaw No Front for IBM · · Score: 1

    "Yes, it's true your Honor. This man has no dick."

    My last hardware issue with Linux was that FC2 at the time didn't have drivers for token ring.

  17. Re:You do on Dealing w/ Relocation Package Bait and Switch? · · Score: 1

    Or what he could do is tell the relocation department that he already paid the recruiter half the relocation pay that was demanded to get the job.

  18. Remember the name Andrew Thomas on Fighting Porn Vs. Ruining Innocent Lives · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    This zealot has an agenda and ambition that will stop at nothing. I only hope that Andrew Thomas, Maricopa County district attorney, won't seek any higher public office or any office for that matter.

  19. Opposition on How Can We Convert the US to the Metric System? · · Score: 1

    The people who tend to oppose this type thing are the same who have trouble with math in the first place. Do we really need people incompetent in math and science making decisions for the rest of us? That's why liers and CEO's should be allowed to run for public office.

  20. Re:Ask a scientist on When Celebrities Speak on Science · · Score: 1

    Kinda like ABC did by taking some queer with a little muscle tone, calling him a carpenter and putting him on tv?

  21. Re:Ask a scientist on When Celebrities Speak on Science · · Score: 1

    But unlike politicians and clergymen, there hasn't been an increase in the reports of nuclear physicists fondling little boys, which means either they are better at hiding it, or it's not happening.

  22. Re:Ask a scientist on When Celebrities Speak on Science · · Score: 1

    Well there's your first problem. You live in North Carolina. It was below freezing last night and should be up into the 70's by then end of the week. Most in NC won't believe in global warming until the I95 corridor is considered beach front property.

  23. Re:stat on everest on 100 Things We Didn't Know Last Year · · Score: 1

    You mean the odds of dying go up for presidents? I always thought it was %100. Good thing I'm not the president.

  24. Re:Adult oriented content on Piracy Outstripping Legal Video Sales? · · Score: 1

    Those of us that are naturally ambidextrous are at an (dis)advantage.

  25. Re:If this keeps up... on Melting Coins Now Illegal In the U.S. · · Score: 1

    What about the fractional cents charged for things like gas now? They don't alter the base numbering system we use for currency now. They barely affect the price we pay for anything. And counting up to twenty and noting it in decimal format is confusing. What would happen if pennies and nickels were phased out would be price adjustment and rounding. That happens now, due to various rates attached to purchases and other monetary transactions. Didn't you see the Superman movie with Richard Pryor?
