  1. Duluth Haters on Juror From RIAA Trial Speaks · · Score: 1

    Whats up with all the Duluth haters? I have read a couple of +5 comments about how Duluth is filled with dumb people. I grew up there so I might be biased but just because one jury of 12 people(?) where excessive everyone from that town is dumb? Man I guess because the 3 people you have met from Chicago where nice everyone there must be nice. Good sample size there.

  2. Gundam on Brain Heatsink Could Reduce Epilepsy · · Score: 1

    Yes, but will it make you responsible for Gundam?

  3. Re:Summary forgot the best part! on 2007 Ig Nobel Awards Announced · · Score: 1

    This year's planned Ig Nobel program included a two-minute speech by keynote speaker Doug Zongker consisting only of the word "chicken," Ok, thats scary close to this comic from "The Parking Lot is Full" (RIP)
  4. Rock on on Carnegie Mellon CAPTCHA Digitization Project Now Underway · · Score: 1

    Good idea, congrats to all the smart people who came up with this one.

  5. For all the Orange Box Haters out There on Orange Box Turns Gold · · Score: 2, Interesting
    I was once one of you, pissed off at Valve for making me buy games I already owned. Then I came across the individual prices for the games.

    HL2:EP2 $29.95
    Portal $19.95
    TF2 $29.95
    ----------------
    Total: $79.95
    OB: $44.95
    ----------------
    Savings: $35.00
    Plus you get HL1 & ep2 free to give to a friend (effectively free marketing for Valve as they have probably recouped dev. costs on HL1 & ep1). So quit yer complaining about "buying a game you already have". They are just using you to give it to a friend. Trixy Valve.
  6. Re:The gadget is cool and all ... on Briefcase Sized DNA Analysis System · · Score: 1

    That is quite possibly the most effective method of making people read the article, well at least click the link.

    Oh, and the first one to the bukacki joke loses.

  7. Re:3D social network? on Google Testing "My World" Second Life Rival? · · Score: 1

    You need a new monitor, wide screen is a whole new world and those extra lines make all the difference. d:

  8. Re:Any word on production? on Halo 3 Review · · Score: 1

    You and your metric units, your speaking American, use our units too. How many Library of Congresses is a shitload or a fuckton (and was that a "skeezy porn" or a "back woods deliverance" fuckton)? The world needs to know or "they" have already won. (think of the children)

  9. Re:Why does the media still call tech folks nerds on The Fall Geek TV Lineup · · Score: 1

    Danger Will Robinson Danger!

    From what I have read the word Geek and Nerd have different definitions even within the US. Here in New England the common definition that I have heard is a nerd is just a generally introverted person who is rather obsessive about something (computers, comic books, music, etc) geek is more computer fixated and is a sub-category of nerd. However I have heard that on the West Coast that this is reversed. So be careful with your terms.

  10. Re:What about the surging nature of the propuslion on New Nuclear-powered Spaceship Design Revealed · · Score: 1

    Yes, rocket jump to mars! I knew all those years of playing Team Fortress would get me into NASA one day.

  12. New Anti-Slashdot Effect Tech on Headband Gives Wearer "Sixth-Sense" · · Score: 1

    See, its not a malformed link at all, but a devious way to reduce server load. People who can't or just don't feel like figuring out the link just won't read the article. It makes even less people RTFA, BRILLIANT!!!

  13. moon.... on Cassini's Iapetus Flyby · · Score: 1

    Thats no moon... oh wait, yes it is. My bad.

  14. Re:correct me if I'm wrong on Radiation Absorbing Mineral Found In the Arctic · · Score: 1

  15. Re:no, it is not more efficient on Spider-Like Catamaran Travels 5,000 Miles On One Tank · · Score: 1

    Or less then liberal amounts of rum via grog.

  16. What About C? on A Telescope as Big as the Earth · · Score: 1

    One of the Australian researchers involved in the project said that it was the first time that astronomers have been able to instantaneously connect telescopes half a world apart. So how did they break the speed of light? Bha. In my day we respected the laws of physics.

  17. Re:Is the driver open-source? on AMD Launches New ATI Linux Driver · · Score: 5, Funny

    I don't think he dropped it. I don't think he trusts the tinfoil manufactures not to collude with the government and put small holes in their foil to permit the government's rays through. He's going to beat them through shear force of will by not thinking anymore.

  18. Re:Why don't they share? on Robotic Presence For a Telecommuter · · Score: 1

    So you work for IBM or Sun? Virtual presence, its not just for furries yiffing anymore. d:

    Oh hell I can't do it. Did they make C&C work with XP first? I tried getting it to work recently and didn't have any luck.

  21. Re:Except we can change the launch costs. on The Next Fifty Years In Space · · Score: 1

    I'm a bit more worried about Universal Cooling. Heat death of the universe would not be a fun thing.

  22. Re:Now where did I put that... on U.S. Attorney General Resigns · · Score: 1

    Wow, I was thinking of "Another One Bites The Dust" but you have trumped me good sir. My hat is off to you.

  24. Now where did I put that... on U.S. Attorney General Resigns · · Score: 1

  25. Bull sh*t on Gamma Rays From Thunderclouds · · Score: 3, Funny

    I call shinanagans. If this was true there would be a whole lot more green people running around smashing things. Everyone knows that gamma rays = Hulk, its a proven scientific fact.
