  1. Re:Because somebody has their dates wrong. on Why Did It Take So Long To Invent the Wheel? · · Score: 1

    It's good that someone else read wikipedia for something this rudimentary. I was starting to worry - so many people were guessing randomly...

  2. Re:Archeology on Why Did It Take So Long To Invent the Wheel? · · Score: 1

    Yes, it's much like life.
    Except there are facts to prove things in archeology.

  3. Re:Rotating round thing? on Why Did It Take So Long To Invent the Wheel? · · Score: 1

    I'd have to say sometime after the round wheel was invented ;)
    We're talking about 100 BC for milling.
    That's versus about 5000 BC for the wheel.

  4. Re:Because... on Why Did It Take So Long To Invent the Wheel? · · Score: 1

    That makes as much sense as saying if Bill Gates invented a wheel, it'd be square with four colored square segments...
    WTF?

    No. Don't take.

    Your an ADHD patient, arent you?

  7. Re:What did you think was going to happen? on Sony To Delete Virtual Goods · · Score: 1

    Ranks right up there with product key codes for software that needs to authenticate to the company that made it when you start up the software.
    Basically, once the company no longer wants it to exist, away it goes.

  8. Re:Yes, but... on Sony To Delete Virtual Goods · · Score: 2

    You realize the whole "derp" thing was only funny for like a week after the show, right?

  9. Re:of course on Sony To Delete Virtual Goods · · Score: 1

    Sony Online Entertainment. Where games go to die.

    We're in the dark ages right now, I guess. Sadly, Sony is the best of the breed and even they suck most of times.
    XBox is just abyssmal, and Wii is a totally different creature all together and not geared towards the same audience as Sony.

  10. Re:Damn, it's always something! on Warp Drives May Come With a Killer Downside · · Score: 1

    Saying "nuclear" very vague.
    Do you mean a 30 kiloton nuclear bomb, or do you mean a 300 megaton thermonuclear missile?

  11. Re:Helicopters on Warp Drives May Come With a Killer Downside · · Score: 1

    Don't fly a helicopter at warp speed, then.

  12. Re:everyone knows this on Warp Drives May Come With a Killer Downside · · Score: 1

    So what you're saying is sci-fi is a documentary of things we don't know yet?

  13. Re:Horse before cart? on Warp Drives May Come With a Killer Downside · · Score: 1

    The concept needs to be researched before an engine can be created to utilize it.

  14. Re:They had it right in TNG. on Warp Drives May Come With a Killer Downside · · Score: 1

    The reason for the flash was for different reasons. The concept was that light travels slower so it suddenly is visible.

    Sci-fi after all is by no means inventive, just speculative.

  15. Re:Car Analogy on Warp Drives May Come With a Killer Downside · · Score: 1

    That's on the basis that the car just explodes with energy.
    In this case, the energy just continues forward as the transportation mechanism slows.

    Screw that... I prefer the idea of targets.

  17. Re:Fermi Paradox on Warp Drives May Come With a Killer Downside · · Score: 1

    I noticed you capitalized "series" but not the name of the show lmao

  18. Re:Fermi Paradox on Warp Drives May Come With a Killer Downside · · Score: 1

    ... and people constantly bringing the word "God" into a conversation is equally inspiring of violence... because people just want you to shut up about it.

    s/fascist/commie/

    I don't think that word means what you think it means...

    I think androids would be a better target.

    You mean without the bloody anus from the copy machine glass shattering from being sat on?

    We care much more about legal issues along with slippery slopes than your thoughts.

    So has electricity, but we reigned that in. Enough with the anecdotal evidence, since what your referring to is fiscal adjustment due to inflation. We on the other hand are referring to something not measured by decades.
