  1. Hey Gmail on Why Desktop Email Still Trumps Webmail · · Score: 1

    Hey Gmail, release a desktop client for Gmail and I will dump my hotmail account forever....

  2. Re:Vapidity all round on The Real Reasons Phones Are Kept Off Planes · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I can't believe it...Everyone knows that the passengers on United 93 never actually spoke to anyone on the ground it was all part of the elaborate hoax by GWB part of his plan to get more oil.... GOSH.....

    j/k i just really can't stand people who say that you can't make phone calls as if that even supports their ridiculous argument.

  3. Re:Actually it is that old. on China's Earliest Modern Human Found · · Score: 1

    Yeah you idiots everyone knows god just does this to test our faith... He's a bit of a trickster god! I bet he's a having a good laugh up there right now...

    "Look at those FOOLS HAHAHAHA!! They actually believe people were on Earth 40,000 years ago... What a bunch of maroons! HAHAHAHAHA! That was one of my easiest jokes and they all fell for it. Well, not as good as the dinosaurs but STILL GOOD! Hahahahaa!"

  4. Re:Extinction of the Dinosaurs, procreation of hum on Some Dinosaurs Made Underground Dens · · Score: 1

    of course somehow I still doubt humans would be here if dinosaurs weren't wiped out. In fact most of these giant mounds of flesh wouldn't have made it with so many predatory, carnivorousness dinosaurs running around.

  5. Extinction of the Dinosaurs, procreation of humans on Some Dinosaurs Made Underground Dens · · Score: 1

    Humans probably wouldn't be here right now if not for the meteor that wiped out most predators on Earth. Primates probably wouldn't have had the opportunity to evolve....

    Its quite possible that a mass extinction such as that would even be somewhat of a prerequisite for intelligent life to evolve somewhere in the universe.

  6. Cosmic Truth on Scientists Demonstrate Thought-Controlled Computer · · Score: 2, Funny

    Is there some kind of cosmic constant that depicts if ever there is anything interesting in the news no photograph or video of the subject should be made viewable?

    Serioously.. WHERES THE VIDEO?

    While you're at it I want the pictures of the frozen Mammoth and the gigantic Ape creature too.

    Thanxabunch

  7. Re:IT Tough Guy on Do You Allow Webmail Use on Your Network? · · Score: 1

    Agreed, where's my mod points when I need to give them out?

  8. I guess you could block the use of webmail... on Do You Allow Webmail Use on Your Network? · · Score: 1

    If you want to be regarded as a tool and hated around the office even more than most "admins"

  9. toronto and rogers on The Assassination of Wi-Fi · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Interesting....as soon as Rogers telecommunications here in toronto learned that the city announced they would be offering free wifi internet for a year and then paid.... Rogers retorted and announced their own wi-fi service... as if they had to pull it out of their ass

  10. Considering disbelief in god could get you killed on Humans Hardwired to Believe in Supernatural Deity? · · Score: 1

    Considering disbelief in god could get you killed in the 1800's and prior I think its pretty clear how believing in spiritual crap could have become an evolutionary survival trait via natural selection.

    Also, BELIEF or being PRONE TO BELIEVE in something is passed verbally and is therefore spread a lot easier.

  11. If on Avoiding the Word "Evolution" · · Score: 1

    If you believe in passing down features such as eye color, skin tone or any other physical features.......

    you believe in evolution.

  12. Re:The engineering on Interstellar Ark · · Score: 1

    I guess that's assuming the mass of what going down is pulling what's going up? So what if it is just being syphoned? Once the space elevator is built you could basically build a multitude of attachments to it to make it work in different ways and for different purposes.

  13. Re:The most likely scenario on Interstellar Ark · · Score: 2, Funny

    Haha.. actually they would probably be pretty excited and glad to meet up with their ancestors. But it would have been nice if they at least picked them up on the way.

  14. Re:The engineering on Interstellar Ark · · Score: 1

    Actually... there is this a currnetly fictional means of travel to space that seems to be brought up atleast a couple times a month on slashdot....

    SPACE ELEVATORS. When this DOES happen we will have a very feasible means of getting raw materials into space. Not to mention one of the most important...... WATER. Not only that, i'm imaging this will be a huge leap for mankind. We could create a giant globular ball of water out in space and crash it into Mars.... BOOM instant terraforming planet.

    To me, getting humans living OFF of this rock is the next big step in our evolution.

    We should really be smart enough not to keep all our eggs in one basket by now.

  15. Re:Sure, why not? on Apple, the New Microsoft? · · Score: 1

    good call... yes apple will be an evil empire if they aren't already, probably not THE evil empire.

  16. Re:Natural Selection At Work on New York To Ban iPods While Crossing Street? · · Score: 1

    If people are getting hit on the croswalk. They can sue. It might be worth it! Also, if people ar getting hit while crossing. That IS the driver's fault. I dont think Ipods/celphones are making people walk aimlessly into oncoming traffic like zombies.

  17. Re:My eyebrows are raised.... on RIAA Says CDs Should Cost More · · Score: 1, Informative

    i remember a sales person at a record store telling me that you could throw CDs against the wall and they wouldn't scratch.

  18. Re:Apple on Bill Gates Brags About Vista, Reacts to Apple's Latest Ads · · Score: 1

    As a CG artist I use Softimage:XSI and Mudbox for digital sculpting and I know for a fact you can't get either of them for Macintosh. As a CG artist I can also tell you that most people in my industry DO NOT use a macintosh as their artists tool of choice.

    Infact not a single game or animation studio I have ever worked at used Macintosh to create artwork. But yet as all the Mac zealots say "for arts and graphic stuff you need a mac" Completely laughable and THAT my friend is the real 10 year old myth. The one that came about when Photoshop was only available for a mac, TEN YEARS AGO.

  19. Apple on Bill Gates Brags About Vista, Reacts to Apple's Latest Ads · · Score: 1

    I simply stay away from apple cause none of my favorite software or games are supported on it.

    Oh and yeah Apple doesn't get virus' as easily as windows? Well if 50% of the software you want to use is unsupported by Macintosh, i'd guess that 50% of the virus' won't run a Macintosh either. So yeah you're safe from 50% of the virus'' on a Mac. But do you really want to have a safe digital existence? Or do you want to take some risks and do some big things with it?

  20. Re:Well... on Schools Act to Short-Circuit 'Cyberbullying' · · Score: 1

    it just forces students to learn moral social ethics earlier on in life. I think it should start there at the root. For people to learn to respect one another and treat others as they would want to be treated themselves. It's hard to enforce but i'm sure it can be taught and discouraged with positive reenforcement.

  21. Re:The inevietable obligatory question. (WHY?) on YouTube Blocked in Brazil · · Score: 1

    And why would that be? Because they make sweeping generalizations about entire nations like yourself? Sorry sharpshooter but no, i'm not american.

  22. Support the future. on GM Working on Feasible Electric Car · · Score: 1

    If you give a sh!t about the environment, do us all a favor and BUY one of these cars. Support any car company that is willing to take this step and help rid us of the oil/gas/global warming dilemma.

  23. Re:The inevietable obligatory question. (WHY?) on YouTube Blocked in Brazil · · Score: 1

    i should point out I definitely don't believe all women in brazil are sluts. I wouldn't even know, never been there. I was simply sharing my opinion in my own words.

    I admit I could have chose better words. But know thats not what i meant.

  24. Re:The inevietable obligatory question. (WHY?) on YouTube Blocked in Brazil · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    im guessing because Brazil already has a bad reputation for pornography. A media starlet whos supposed to be representative of it only encourages brazilian women to continue their slutty ways which also gives off a bad perception to the outside world.

  25. Re:No surprise ratings are falling. on Battlestar Galactica DVD Movie In the Works? · · Score: 1

    Here's an idea.... Baltar still has Helfer in his head...he's still an imbecile.. what if all this changed? What if Baltar suddenly figured out the location of Earth and gained more respect from the Cylons, he dropped his imaginary friend and started being a bit more imposing and even began leading the cylons?
