  1. This is why jagerbombs are horrible.... on Caffeinated Alcoholic Drinks May Be Illegal · · Score: 1

    when you mix alcohol and caffeine people don't pass out.

    instead they run around black-out drunk until someone bumps into them and a fight breaks out right at closing time.

    save yourself and don't mix the two, especially in high doses.

  2. Re:Fixed on Why Isn't the US Government Funding Research? · · Score: 1

    you're arguing my point. the constitution doesn't dictate drug usage for or against. hence the constitution doesn't outline that you can or cannot put certain things into your body, and therefore you can't argue constitutionality when advocating legalization (which was part of the GP's assertion) QED.

  3. Re:Fixed on Why Isn't the US Government Funding Research? · · Score: 1

    you spouted nothing more than blind conjecture with the implicit determination to end the wars altogether since we cannot 'win'. the way you are using war here versus a traditional war is an equivocation fallacy. that is, the wars on poverty and crime are not meant to be winnable (they a natural ongoing battle within society itself) whereas the war in iraq might one day be won (as this is a quarrel amongst nations).

    also, there's nothing in the constitution that protects your right to smoke pot. you don't seem to understand the definition of 'unconstitutional' and, for that matter, probably couldn't be bothered to read the document (which, by the way, was not written on hemp, as i'm sure you love to tell people).

  4. Re:In Soviet Internet on Internet Giving Rise To "Citizen Spies" · · Score: 1

    does it not sound problematic that if we can do this, so can they...?

  5. Re:RIP DNF on Duke Nukem For Never · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Sarcasm is not an argument. You are an idiot.

  6. Re: Lithium is used to fight bipolar disorder on Lithium In Water "Curbs Suicide" · · Score: 1

    So lithium in the water would make people drink more water and get more lithum which makes them drink more water and get more... oh the humanity!

    you mean... oh, the profit...?

    =Cue awkward middle-aged woman=

  7. Re:does not compute on Taser International Sues Second Life Creator Over Virtual Replicas · · Score: 2, Funny

    I like that the sentence begins with the benignly presupposing phrase, "Basically...", as if the material following it is set to simplify and clarify the content of the article. Then it goes on to make things more incoherent, with poor use, of punctuation, in, the explanation,. comma, comma, period.p

    In other words, "blarf grrblle grble, lasne en fragne, rabble rabble rabble, chuck norris."

  8. Re:First post. on Mozilla First To Patch Pwn2Own Browser Vulnerability · · Score: 1

    Nah, they probably have automatic updates on. I'd wager it's massive computer labs at high schools or colleges where there either isn't an administrator, the administrator is a fool, or the administrator is lazy. The need doesn't seem all that pressing, but ironically they have some of the strongest internet connections for worms to use.

  9. Re:First post. on Mozilla First To Patch Pwn2Own Browser Vulnerability · · Score: 1

    You restarted the install, but you don't use windows anymore? So, is there a computer sitting somewhere with windows on it that you don't need? I could use a new server....

    that rant was rant-tastic. i give you a gold-rant-star and offer you my con-rant-ulations for your rant-fullness.

  12. Re:This seems abrupt on Windows 7 To Skip Straight To a Release Candidate · · Score: 1

    hah, someone peed in your coffee this morning, huh? your agonized rant seems rather discordant with your signature.

    Anyway, you'd think that features they promised for Vista might - just might - show up in their following release. If not, then what, exactly, are you paying for?

    Also, I appear to be a glutton for punctuation.

  13. Re:This seems abrupt on Windows 7 To Skip Straight To a Release Candidate · · Score: 1

    I find you rant rant-tastic, and I award you this gold star for rant-fullness!

  14. Re:Immortality is scary on Scientists Identify a Potentially Universal Mechanism of Aging · · Score: 1

    This has to be the hottest thing i've heard all day:

    [...]homoerotic xenosexual fantasies.

    As a side note, it is archaic to think of anal penetration as only the gay man's game.

  15. Re:Synthetic Blood on All Blood Converted to Type O? · · Score: 1

    Synthetic Blood: http://www.popsci.com/popsci/science/9e367f36fca9e 010vgnvcm1000004eecbccdrcrd.html
    It does not act like blood, but it carries oxygen more efficiently than blood.

    Aging has to do with programmed cell death, if I recall correctly. Also, i believe most new blood cells come from the bone marrow; so, just having one red blood cell and letting it reproduce in solution seems much too simplified.

  17. Re:overpopulation on Worm Lifespan Extended To Five to Six Times Normal · · Score: 1

    If you play your cards right, you could have the government, or your health insurance provider pay for it. Obviously, the longer we all live, the more people there will be paying taxes and needing health care. It would be in their best interest to support this.

  18. Jurassic Park on Movie Landmarks for CGI Effects? · · Score: 1

    Those dinosaurs were CG, and considering it was released in 1993, it was pretty impressive. I think the dinosaurs required some terabytes to store each one.

    T2 was phenominal, most will agree. Even now, the CG still impresses. I preferred it to Spiderman, for certain.

  19. Thoughts... on E-Postage for Linux? · · Score: 2, Informative

    I don't believe the UPS or FedEx software comes in a *n?x variant, so the answer is basically, "No."

    Even if they did, good luck finding *n?x drivers for an Eltron thermal printer (prints out stickers for packages). Not that I've looked... but I doubt you will find them.

  20. Hrm... on Pants Were Optional, 100,000 Years Ago · · Score: 4, Funny

    They're not optional now? That probably explains a few things...

    Don't be surprised when Pixar releases a movie about it.

  23. Linux 101 on What Should a Community Computer Lab Offer? · · Score: 2, Informative

    You might have a class titled, "Linux: operating system of the future?"

    You can make it just as easy as the Winblowzzee courses. Show them OpenOffice, Evolution, Mozilla; if nothing else, it could raise awareness. Enrollement will probably be small, but I think you'll get a few people interested in seeing what a free operating system has to offer (slip 'free' into the description somewhere). You'll need to warn them that Win programs won't work, however at the same time you can counter that by saying Linux is not susceptible to Windows virii and worms (of course, it has its own worms). But, if all they do is type up papers and surf the web, then it could be for them.
